how to act in stress...

in life if u are in some kind of bad situation..family/personal/friends/money…

so do u just sit and think /cry about that problem or u just leave everything as it is and wait for the result..

Re: how to act in stress...

I would take some time to evaluate the situation first. See if I can come up with a solution on my own and take care of it.

But you do need to think about your actions before carrying them out...never act in anger.

Re: how to act in stress...

Uhh with me it varies. I firstly might cry because I'm a cry baby ¬¬ then I'd probably go deal with it. And if I have some other stuff to worry about then I completely block out unnecessary stuff like family stress. It helps =\

But I think tackling the issue head on is the best thing to do unless you think something else is more important. Seriously sometimes you can't just wait around for things to set and take a turn for the better. You try doing/changing what you can and pray lots!

Gud question. Stop thinking , listen 2 ur heart .
Do what u love doing .
Write nd listen 2 music . dats wht i do .....

very nice answer

First and foremost, I think and think - might also cry about it to others - sleep on it etc. But I definitely try to resolve/minimize whatever I realistically can. However hard it is, one should face the reality and all its challenges. After that, we can wait around and leave it upto God.

Re: how to act in stress...

Depends on the situation. If its work related... well bthen whatever. I mean, work is work. Cant take it too personally.

Money issues can be stressful. Lekin if you try to manage your budget then things sorta add up and it can help you in the long run. My solution... make an excel sheet and write down all ur inputs and outputs... u'll soon know where things are going wrong

family issues.. depending on how serious it is and how much its bugging me and who it involves.. i would manage it differently. If its a sister issue. Damn, I'll just tell her, yell, cry and then apologise and get over it. Same with mum... obviously no yelling there. Anyone else, just talk to the hubz and get over it

Also, just pray.. make dua. It'll help with the anxiety

Re: how to act in stress...

at the time of anger ... try to be kool ,,have patience and silence....take ur time...
and then start evaluating on the situation as someone said above... and then act accordingly not at the moment but later ...

It does depend on the situation etc, like others have said. But usually when I’m stressed I plug in my earphones, block everything out and have a good think about it (and yes I do cry :naraz:).. then if theres anything I can do, I’ll do it (if it means I have to go talk to someone, I’ll wait & let myself calm down fully and rehearse what exactly I need to say, just so I don’t go make it worse, which I end up doing sometimes lol).. If theres anything I can’t do, then I just pray to Allah swt & leave it all to Him. In the meantime, I try taking my mind off it completely, because I go crazy when I over-think something so I’ll probably catch up on movies, talk to people and read or anything else really.

Last time was many weeks ago, months. I had a friend staying here for a short while, she looks a lot like me. Well, not in looks, but we like the same kinds of things. Although we do like many same things, there are some differences between things she does and I don't want to do and she kept wanting me to take an interest in those. I never do that to friends, they like or don't like something, I respect that. But she kept telling me I should do those things too which I didn't want to. Every person has different things he or she likes. Months ago she even made me order certain things for her on my address. Oké, she did pay me back, but still, I didn't like that. Eventually we talked about it. So now I just clearly say no if I have to order something for her again and we've decided she can't stay here anymore, that doesn't work, though we're still friends and keep in touch. Love her character. It's just that, sometimes two people, no matter how much they like each other, can't be together. Besides, I'm so used to being alone a lot, while she demanded too much attention and I can't give that every day. And I certainly don't want to be pressed to do something which I actually don't want to. But now everything is much better, we've talked things out. I'm trying to be less introvert as she called me, and she's trying to give me more space in our friendship. We're trying to understand each others cultures better too. That was the last time I had a little bit stress, but it wasn't much. I'm so happy we talked it out and I'm even more happy that we understood each other and it didn't ruin our friendship, instead talking about everything has improved our friendship. She's one of the very few friends I have and the only one with whom I still have regular contact. Though she had given me a bit stress, it wasn't much actually.

I've had much worse stress than that in my life before! My reaction was often different for each situation, it depended on the reasons. Alhamdulilah I haven't had real stress in a long time.
