haha..sometimes if it's uni that i'm stressing over, getting away from it freaks me even more because i think 'i've only got so many hours left to finish it, and i'm going to ignore it?!!'..but really, i've caused my own stress, i just need to stop leaving things last minute hahadaiana said:wat r u stressed abt exactly? cos it would have diff solutions
maybe facing the problem (bytalking abt it, or doing sth productive abt it)
if its uni work stress, i find that going shopping really helps. it makes u feel accomplished, and best if u find something that looks good on u cos then u feel like u look more confident and capable =)
writing nice lil encouraging quotes and sticking them around ur room helps for me... =)
and also walking along a beach or just connecting with nature..running away from the city for a brief moment
maybe u need a holiday..just away from it all.. say go to port stephens or sth..away from ur hometown
Lundy said:Yeah I'm considering looking at vitamins/herbal remedies. My problem isn't so much stress as anxiety. If that makes sense.
In that case, I suggest a psychologistLundy said:At the moment I'm prepared to try just about anything.
whereabouts is your chest pain? like in your ribs? under your boobs? or more on your sternum?Undertoad said:I tend to worry about nothing in particular as well. It all started with the HSC and then i guess I had a reason although i was way too stressed but im still stressed even though its all over. I've been on a holiday, done nothing, got lots of exercise, done lots of shopping and I'm still getting headaches and bad chest pain. The chest pain is more of a worry, although its less frequent now it hurts so much I cant move for a while and then eases off. I need something else that works cause just relaxing doesnt seem to do anything, so Lundy if you find anything that helps plz tell...
I've had exactly that for quite a while.melimoo said:youve got what ive got i think. i used to get horrid pain like that, and everytime i breathed i though i was gonna die. like stabbing. and it was just one side at a time.
yep there is a massive class of disorders... treatable with medication and usually some sort of behaviour therapy..Lundy said:That's interesting Iambored, I wasn't aware there was an actual disorder associated with anxiety. I wouldn't be at all surprised if I was diagnosed with it.
Daiana - there's nothing in particular I'm stressed about at the moment. I've been this way most of my life. I suffer from constant anxiety even when there's nothing to be anxious about.
