How do you usually handle stress? Do you find healthy ways to deal with it or do you give in to less than healthy ways?

I look at stress as burning negative energies, so I have no time for it.
But for someone who may be easily stressful, I suppose one way to deal with stress is to look at the root of its cause and try to correct/change it if possible.

I have a sure cure for stress. I break out in a case of hives. The itchy lumps take my mind off whatever is stressing me out.

As I said earlier, stress is negative energy. Try to tap into your positive energies and it will relieve stress.
I don't think anyone doesn't have problems in their lives, and I surely have plenty in mine, but I refuse to allow them to consume me with stress.
I do hope you get yours sorted out, Lala. hug

Thanks. Normally I am the happiest person in the world but even the positive energy is being sucked away by the negative. However, I will sort it all out, cause I will make it so.hug

I certainly do exercise to relieve stress and also play music. However that doesn't always work and I stop eating.

Currently stress is the normal way of life.... I have sought medical advice, but now I am just grinning and bearing it. Having said that, I do think I am going through some rather unusual times but after 5 years of this, I am getting a wee bit tired of it now.
