This year has been the most difficult year for me, because of the covid 19 attack, things are getting more and more difficult. Hard to get a job, hard to meet people, hard to open a new business. When I'm stressed like this, what I usually do is sleep, but when I wake up from sleep, I become more stressed because my money doesn't increase, and my dreams only become dreams in my sleep

@arast0ry I was in this situation once. I screamed in a very loud voice. I had the window open and my neighbours from two(!) storeys below heard me. They called me by phone and asked what had happened. Nothing had happened besides that I felt much better! :-)

When I am stressed I listen to music and I try to calm myself.

Yes listening to music helps to reduce stress levels. Even one can talk to the person he/she likes when in stress.

Tv has helped me a lot, even reruns. Right now I´m watching How I met your mother. When I get tired of it, I seek documentaries specially history or wild life. I don´t have money problems. Until the pandemia started my main expense was to pay Leticia, my maid and companion for over 20 years. I could not tell her that I did not need her so much. But now she considered that she would retire. So all the money I don´t spend on her I spend in luxuries.

@arast0ry I have this big Smart TV and I have Netflix and Amazon Prime. I only watch news at the local TV which is cable and also has CNN. Leticia is fine. I call her often. She says she´ll come soon to visit but she hasn´t showed up yet.

When I am stressed I sleep or come to mylot to read and respond to the posts here. It is one of the best ways for me to relax. I know my money won't grow by doing these things but still I do them to make myself happy.

@arast0ry yes absolutely we are paid for not reading the posts but for interactions, we get on our posts and responses. Also, the earnings are not much. Those who join this site for money leave it in no time.

but if you more active here you'll get paid more right, hehehe, I know here we can talk to each other, and learn from each other, a good solution when we are stressed, it's better to talk to other people than we have to be alone, and if we are more active here we will still get paid

When I begin to feel stressed I go somewhere quiet and pray. This calms me down and assures me that I am not alone with my problems. After that it helps to keep my mind from straying by doing something creative that I enjoy. In my case it is making earrings or writing something.

When I'm stressed, it's often while I'm working. That means there's very little I can do about it at the time! If I have chance, I'll stand up from my desk, wander about the room and have a bit of a stretch. If I'm not at work (or after work) I might relax in a hot bath. If I'm stressed about something I can change, I'll work on changing it. Otherwise, I'll sit down with a cup of tea and a puzzle book for a while.

Welcome to myLot. When I get stressed I usually come onto myLot and visit with my friends here. I like to tease and play and doing that reduces my stress. (I'm usually here whether I'm stressed or not. I can't see my RL friends because they won't get vaccinated from Covid. So my online friends are who I've got to talk with most of the time. *shrug*)

@arast0ry My daughter and I have been vaccinated but, since we can still catch Covid, we aren't getting around anyone who hasn't been vaccinated. We're allowed to go anywhere we want in the US, including Hawaii or Alaska, although we don't intend to leave our house except for going to the grocery store and the doctor's office.
@arast0ry (187)

I also haven't been vaccinated, I hope that covid will disappear even though I'm not vaccinated, but if I'm not vaccinated I can't go anywhere, because of government requirements

This last year and a half has been bad for everyone. Be thankful you still have enough money for Internet etc. That will give you a chance to earn some money online. You could, if you posted like a demon make pay out on here in 3 days. Think what you could make by.the end of the month.

First of all it is not happening with you only. It is happening with lot of other people also. For this situation you are not responsible.Do breathing exercise, aerobic exercise, and regular meditation at the sleeping time and in the morning.
