When I get severely stressed out, I either take a hot bubble bath with scented candles, or go for a short walk and just let the breeze blow away some of it. Im sorry you are going through so much, and I hope it gets better for you hun. *huge hugs*  |

this might sound like the LAST thing you'd want to do but trust me the best stress buster is exercise. I jog out my stress. If you're not fit enough to jog, just go for a brisk half hour walk around your neighbourhood or go to the gym if you want. What ever is best for you but i can guarentee that when you come back from your exercising, you will feel a billion times better!! :)  |

I also agree with Sun Angel that exercise is a great stress reliever but if her headaches are anything like mine, the only thing exercise is gonna do is have her puking her guts out. |

I also have to agree with SunAngel. I have been in a vicious cycle lately, where I am extremely stressed out, and it makes me extremely worn down and too tired to work out. I KNOW that I need to exercise, because that is the only thing that will make me feel better. I wish you luck - you are so young to have so much stress, too! Take care...HipChik  |

Hi Base, I have tried meditating and it did help relax me a little bit, I should try doing it more often and see if it helps. Thanks :) Hi Sun Angel and Brenda... I have tried exercise and it does help me feel better but with my headaches it makes me feel worse (kinda complicating) usually when I go from kneeling to standing in a fast motion I get a "rush" feeling in my head and I get dizzy and bad pains in my head. My headaches are bad and often like Base said it makes me feel worse to move around, and sometimes I'm okay and sometimes it makes me feel better. Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it! :)  |

Hi Amanda! :) yes I have found that hot baths help a lot and I am going to start walking, doing some exercise, like everyone suggested. I also like to write a lot, I am thinking about starting a journal to help get all this stress out in words. Thank you so much for the advice (((hugs)))! |

I read it a magazine once that coloring reduces stress, then I tried it and it really works, so if I were you I would get a coloring book and a crayola 64 pack of crayons and color for a couple hours, it really works.  |
