Stress is such a strange thing. I end up grinding my teeth while I sleep and then wake up with a sore jaw. Sometimes my jaw is actually stuck and it hurts. I also wake up in the middle of the night and just think. I try to focus on relaxing and falling back to sleep, but it seems nearly impossible to do. I am short with other people and not

I'm kind of a mellow guy, but big events (negative or positive sometimes) and give me stress. I usually just go into neutral for a day or two. I know you can't always do that and it's still no fun, but you know it will be over sooner or later.

I am like you. I am a worrier and I feel your pain.

{{{{{hugs}}}}}}} I had to take a stress (+anger) management class a few years ago and I rely on the tools I learned but it is still hard. I think women tend to be the worriers. I have to have lavender aroma therapy every day and I have to curl up and cry to my Heavenly Father once in a while...hang in there.

I'm sorry life is so hard sometimes. I am way too stressed too often and I worry too much. I hope to learn to deal with stress much better, as well. I hope your friends here can help ease your burden.

"I think that everyone has stress and some handle it so gracefully..." We don't see everything....just others' best public faces. Don't give up.

I take herbal tablets that have valerian, hops and gentian in them. They're the only thing that can take the edge of my anxiety and stress. Swimming and yoga works too. :hug:
