dawn asked:

I am 29, in divorce, high stress job, to children 3 and 5, finanacial problems, the american normal. I am looking for some ideas to reduce stress and gain energy. My mom have recommended a daily walk and some exercise, change in eating so I am working on that. I also am having an undertimed medical problem and she said I need to learn to destress and that might help. Any other advice that may make a difference in my life?

Ive had the craziest days. Well lets just say some really bad mistake i did ended up coming out to the public and if they can prove that i was there, it could ruin everything, college, the rest of my school, everything.

How do I change the way that I respond to stress and lower my stress level?

PortWine asked:

I have developed some not exactly healthy methods to deal with stress, including smoking. I mention it because needing to have a smoke is one of the biggest indicator I’m under too much stress.
Work, money, eating right, difficult people, traffic, things breaking down around the house, negative news, etc…
I don’t necessarily want to be able to handle more stress.
I’ve started a journal where I have noted the things that I find stressful, and have rated them according to how stressful they are and how much control I have over them.
I am open to any answers, even pollyanna & (non-fundie) religious ones.
I’m looking for advice on what the path towards better stress management really entails. Any good books you could suggest, too.
Thank you in advance.

What’s the difference between regular stress and chronic stress?

PokerMania asked:

If there is 1 thing that is constantly stressing you out, let’s say, you’re unemployed for 6 months, then you have chronic stress? So when you find a job, you no longer have chronic stress? So chronic is a time factor? I’m always stressed about the amount of $$ I make, and that I have no friends or a boyfriend. Do I have a chronic stress?
