Does anyone have any ways to relieve stress and / or anxiety that work (other than removing the source of the stress)? ie maybe eating certain food or drink or anything else..?

useful site for dealing with stress,


link

Have you tried any of the things it suggests?

avoiding sugar, caffine and alchol, is the best tips out, for diet that is, but otherwise just eat healthly, and not forget your meals, skipping meals will not help, if work is pressing try taking a light snack into work with you, even a piece of fruit will help.

as for stress with people, god knows how to cope with that,

i have just remembered you saying you had problems sleeping is that work related or has the problem been solved

Havent you got a good memory

Yes the two are linked i think, but not work related. The dr has given me sleeping tablets as normal ones over the counter werent working but last night i went to bed quite anxious and didnt sleep well at all, even with the dr's tablets, that in the past have knocked me out pretty quick.

So i've realised i have to deal with the stress instead. I've brought camomile herbal tea into work with me, so thats a start and i'll be reading more of that site you mentioned. Thanks btw

And if anyone else knows of things that work, i'd be grateful

Valium!

For me, it's either relaxing with a good book..... taking myself off on a long walk, just me and my thoughts, you'll start off carrying your stress, but my surroundings usually get the better of me and help me forget.... or if all else fails.... a bath filled with bubbles, candle light and a glass of red!

the best thing is to go to a hospital for invalid people and compare yourself with those poor people. and your stress is nothing compared to their health problems. then you would feel yourself happy and forget your stress at once.

Or play video games like me, preferably shooting games like GRAW (go for headshots )

Thats a bit harsh isnt it? just cos people are stressed it doesnt mean they think their problems are worse than anyone elses

Of course, it was a bit harsh. But I just wanted to give one out of thousands recipes to overcome this problem, could I do it?

Whisky...works every time.
