Stress & Coping

Sgt Romeo

Am I the only one who really suffers with stress & then can't find a coping strategy so gets more stressed over really insignificant things?

Nothing I have tried to help me cope with stress has helped.  Every suggestion people have given me has been tried.  I CANNOT relax.  It's a physical impossibility for me.  I don't know how to relax.

It may well be that I'm still thinking about the long list of things I have to do that is stopping me from relaxing, but I don't know how to deal with this.

It feels like I need a break from everything right now.  But I have to keep going to work to pay the bills.  I have to keep getting up in the morning.  But I don't know how much longer I can keep going like this before I snap.

Can anybody offer any advice?

    All of the relaxation techniques in the world won't fix a fundamental problem such as being in a bad relationship or being in the wrong job or not being accepted by the people that matter to you. A lot of these things can be fixed (without necessarily changing jobs, partners or anything else) but you have to work out what is actually winding you up and deal with it in some way. You can change things by changing the way you think about things or by getting people to deal with you more sympathetically or by working out what you are really good at and what you are really not good at.

    Does that help?
