This is unrelated to my other thread completely for those you have read it.
When you feel overwhelmed with lots of major things to sort out and things dont seem to be going your way, how do you deal with it?

Re: when you feel overwhelmed how do you cope?
I cry, it helps. Once I am done, I formulate a plan in my mind.
Re: when you feel overwhelmed how do you cope?
relax take som rest ... think abt all the things ... mark them with numbers n prioritize them , make som strategy to achieve them one by one ... implement the strategy with som courage ... at the end
*Have confidence that if you have done a little thing well, you can do a bigger thing well too. *

I talk to my husband and go for a run. Usually does the trick to help me clear my head and see things clearly.
Re: when you feel overwhelmed how do you cope?

Re: when you feel overwhelmed how do you cope?
Sometimes it is the little little things which accumulate and start to overwhelm you, instead of having one big issue/thing to worry about.

Yeaahh!
Re: when you feel overwhelmed how do you cope?
stress/cry over it once only for as long as you want, rather than doing it every few hours
dont think about how things got to this point, coz now its pointless....since you are in the situation, try to get out of it the best way you can
take a deep breath
make yourself believe that you can deal with it, its nothing impossible
prioritize
ask Allah for help to get you through it
Re: when you feel overwhelmed how do you cope?
Go cry in a corner. Yell WHY ME GOD. Then jump off the balcony to find myself in the arms of a hot guy while some cheap bollywood song plays in the background.
Re: when you feel overwhelmed how do you cope?
i usually just give up and say eff it.
like if i have a superbig exam that determines half my grade for the semester..i can hardly focus the day before cuz its usually like what am i gona learn in a day...shouldnt have slacked all those weeks. so i just stare at my notes or watch tv. and apparently i wana listen to as much music as possible on THAT day..the day before the exam.
ughhhh i'm about to go through the biggest craps of my life once i head home tomorrow. Allah save me. :-/
i pray and cry and repeat.
Re: when you feel overwhelmed how do you cope?
lol wow that sounds amazing...only the hot guy is constantly missing in these episodes...asd;fljwerojsdfsldfkj!!!! i'm only asking for one. i'm not even greedy like most of the men on this forum and asking for four..jeez.
Re: when you feel overwhelmed how do you cope?
during summer semester it used to get very crazy and we had like 2 tests the same day and we only had like 2 days to study for both at that point i did used to cry especially if they are two of my hardest subjects just to release some of that stress.
sometimes i would sit in a closed space where nobody can hear like a car and just scream, it does help with tension release for me, i fear that i would take it out on others which i would try to avoid and i would definitely try my hardest to not allow that stress to take over me. i would do anything
Re: when you feel overwhelmed how do you cope?
inspiron, i'm going through the toughest times of my life right now and juggling so many things hoping everything goes to my advantage, i'm just praying constantly to myself so i kind of understand what you're saying. it's comforting to know that i'm not alone......even if you're issues might not be exactly the same
Re: when you feel overwhelmed how do you cope?
Well, I make a schedule out of it, and go with the flow according to the schedule.
If its GF/Family issue than I dont really take it under my consideration because they dont last much longer.
Real life things are to be considered because they help you in ways you cant imagine.
So, thats what I do.
Re: when you feel overwhelmed how do you cope?
I take one thing at a time and set myself limits to what has to be done each day...dont burden urself...even accomplishing one task a day/dealing with one issue a day is more than enough
How i see it is...if u start eventually the end will come but if u sit there feeling overwhelmed and dont start anything...then the end is that much further
Good luck!!
Re: when you feel overwhelmed how do you cope?
I just take out some weed from my stash. Roll a joint. Smoke it.
Really helps ! :)
Re: when you feel overwhelmed how do you cope?
Depending on the time I have. If I have no time for nothing, I roll up my sleeves and get **** done. If I have time I sleep.

Kickboxing and Yoga. Fifteen minutes with a punch bag or thirty minutes of yoga is akin to a reboot for me. Everything feels a lot easier and manageable afterwards.

You are yinging and yanging all over the place.

Ha. Balance is important.
