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?

  • I think combining things is a good way. First of all exercise. Especially getting the heart working. Run, jog or walk, listen to music and take in the outdoors environment for 30-60 minutes. Then eat a nice healthy meal and take a bit more time to yourself doing something you enjoy (tv show, video game, music etc.) before shutting off for 30 minutes and going for a nap really. Something that's going to be a few hours long, that's all about you and only you, with nobody to distract you.

    I hope that helps?
