Stress is making me sick  

Yes I have, I get stressed easily if school work or work overwhelms me. If I don't get enough rest to relax, then I get really stressed out in situations. Normally, the only times I get really stressed out and under pressure is during exam times. The lack of sleep and lack of normal routine really throws me off balance. I eat at odd times at night, I don't sleep till 3am or 4am in the morning, and I just look terrible. Usually during exam days, since I know that I don't work well under stress, I really try to pace myself according to how much I can handle per day. I try not to overwhelm myself with overworking, I would split up a certain amount of work per day and that would really help me keep in control while still getting enough sleep. I hope you feel better!

Sometimes I used to. I don't any more and I don't know why. But when I was I made sure I got plenty of sleep....for me when I felt upset or nervous many times I just needed to get a good rest so that I could cope with it...hope you get by this. I know what stress can do! Make sure you stay off or use very little caffeine too....that will add to the jitters.

I am constantly stressed... and it isn't easy. I deal with it on a day to day basis. I bury myself in a hobby that makes me think- such as myLot. If I am able to switch my mind to something else, then I am able to calm down a little bit. My suggestion is to find a hobby that completely takes your mind off of the problem. I've tried yoga as a help to relieve stress- and it does help. Even if you aren't flexible at all (which I'm not), you try a few of the poses and it relaxes your body. I wish you luck in relieving the stress!

I am under stress quite often too with the heavy work loads at my work place, having to work many many hours a day. By the time I get back home, pretty late in the evening often, I am totally exhausted and stressed. My two favorite ways of relaxing and getting rid of the stresses are listening to classical music and practising "Yoga" meditation. Very very helpful. Have you tried "Yoga" meditation ? That si very good for mental and physical relaxtion and health. I feel much relaxed and free of stress after about an hour of meditation. You might want to try that.

Moneymommy, please, take a time out, rest, eat right and then reflect! It is alright and very human to be overwhelmed! The last thing you want to do, however, is get on medications: Medications are simply going to render you worthless and unable to address the true problem you are facing. Your racing heart may very well imply nutritional deficiency.

Have no shame! We are humans, and sometimes, unpleasant situations beyond our control can us all anxious and feeling helpless. Just do that which you can for each day and ask the good Lord Almighty to see to the rest.

I fully understand stress making you sick. When I get really stressed out I get headaches and I get horrible stomach aches.

I will by now if I don't have anything to do since this past few years. I kind a person who hardly laugh, and then I found something that make me laugh and happy. It kind weird, but i can show you if you want. Nothing extrordinary, except looking at the funny clip from the boy band that I like, and this boy band is not like other ohh,I cannot explain in here, and now it has become addiction. There must be something that can make you less stress, and wanted to go out from bed every morning. It just maybe you haven't found it yet.

I am under a lot of stress to, I have to move out saturday, and I have to get all of my things back with in the next two days, so things are very stressful for me, and I am getting my son to help me, pack our thing up, soI can move in with my sister saturday, it's really a lot when you have to move out with in a few days.

I exercise. I find that a good hard workout, revitalizes me and gives me renewed energy. It also puts me in a better mood and I feel in control again. If it gets too overwhelming, you should see your doctor. I needed it as I was starting to get panic attacks from the stress. I was only on medication for three months and now I am able to deal with stress much better. Good Luck!

well. we are have stress and that depends how we treat it i think.my hear rasing for a long time already but it's still ok. tell yourself this will go away and the solution would be figured out finally. then try your best to relieve it with hard work and care about your family.
