Stress...

ChandieLee · Apr 7, 2007

I'm really stressed out. :?
I've been sick for the last like 7 months with like no social life; stuck in the house.

I'm running out of ideas to keep my stress level down.

So, I'm wondering how everyone here deals with stress?

Any ideas?

Take up a hobby maybe? I compose music, andthat's how I keep my mind busy, so I don't stress. (If you keep yourmind busy on something you like, you'll generally be muchhappier.)I hope you find something that helps.

I find hugging bunnies to be the best stress reliever ever. :bunnieskiss

I can sit and watch them for hours... Iget a thrill out of watching them eat, play and explore.

I don't seem to mind watching them pee on the rug, either. :craziness

It's hard to remember -- and way easier said than done -- but you are ultimately in charge of how you feel, how you react. You DO have the power to just decide to not let yourself feel stressed. Just shake it off.

And remember that old saying...

Lord, grant[/b] me[/b] the power[/b] the change [/b]the things[/b] I can, accept the things[/b] I can't, and the power [/b]to ignore the :censored2:who surroundme

When I am stressed, I get online and read. I read about bunnies, I look at things online...like on Ebay.

I also CLEAN. When I get very stressed out, I clean and clean and clean. It makes you feel good that you focused on something and finished it. Besides, then you are left with a spotless house

.

But don't worry.....you aren't the only one who is stressed out lately.I am extremely stressed because I want to move out of my fiance's mother's house and into our own place RIGHT NOW....but we have to wait another 2-3 months to save up a bunch of money :?.

Thanks for the ideas

I definitely go online when I'm stressed, but I'm starting to think it's unhealthy kinda.... because I'm on all day.

I'll take up a hobby... and clean... and play with the bunnies

I'll actually make a schedule out of it. I need structure.

Undergunfire, I'm sorry your stressed about your living situation. I think I might know what you mean. My boyfriend lives with me and my parents; it's not that he doesn't like them, but he would like a place to call his own.
And trying to save money is a pain, blah. Maybe you could do little things to earn it a little faster, like a yard sale. That's helped me a bit when I needed extra money.
