Re: Dealing With Stress
My hair doesnt fall out on its own accord i tend to rip it out.. 
I dunno how to deal with it cos i cant deal with it..
Never knew it was so easy to be surrounded by loads of people but still feel totally on ya own.
Good luck and if you have any tips let me know.

Re: Dealing With Stress
I have eczema which gets worse when I'm stressed so I've ended up with a few coping strategies: lots of fruit and veggies (a good diet always helps - comfort food leaves me feeling worse later), plenty of trips to the climbing wall (a physical challenge helps take my mind off things), and long walks on my own in the hills. I've been known to go awol with a tent for a few days - no route plan, no communication, just see where I end up.
When I get really stressed and angry about something, I switch on the amp, plug in the axe and let rip. :curse: (Only when the neighbours are out though - don't want to pass on the stress to someone else!!!)

Re: Dealing With Stress
Without boring you with details, I'm finding that I'm increasingly stressed out and anxious most of the time. I've got a few things on my plate but nothing more than most folk I guess but its doing my head in worrying so much and its starting to giove me health problems, not least my hair falling out! I know from most of the posts on here that there are people that have 100 times more to manahe so how do you deal with the stress!!!
Keep your chin up, we all find it hard, good luck.

Re: Dealing With Stress
I go in fits and starts. I'm quite wound up at the mo as well.
Started cycling again to work, 22 miles each way which I think is helping with thinking time.
I need to chill, not fair on my nearest and dearest.

Re: Dealing With Stress
Can't believe this was the top thread when I logged on! 
I have been extremely stressed in my job for a long time now. I have finally decided to do something positive about it and have just written my resignation letter.
It may bring more stress if my house sale falls through and there's still a mortgage to pay
but OH has been really supportive and said we'll manage somehow.

Re: Dealing With Stress
They generally accept that there are some things beyond there control which they can have no influence over, and other aspects which they do. There's no point worrying about things (interest rates, exchange rates, house prices etc . . the list is endless for those migrating) you have no control over, because they are beyond your control, and alternately, there's no point worrying about those things you do have control over, because you've got them under control.
Ommmmm.

Re: Dealing With Stress
Treat yourself to regular deep tissue massages - preferably with the masseuse coming to your home and doing it there then you don't have to get up and drive anywhere afterwards.
Works a treat for me. Don't hit the booze, it'll make things worse, regardless of the number of alcoholics there appear to be on this forum.
