Work was terrible, one of our guys was killed in a car wreck, my boss fired my best friend, I got a pay cut and hours reduced. Then I come home, my spouse was let go and has to find new work, my daughter was crying about her boyfriend who dumped her and she thinks she might be with child. Our cat got out and I can't find him anywhere. All I wanted to do was relax and reduce the stress load but its not working. How do you relax during times of high stress?

Gosh! That's a disaster. I'm so sorry to hear that. I think you need friends to talk to. You know some sort of relief. At first when I read the title of this post, I thought it's just an ordinary stress and thinking to suggest you a warm bath and a good massage. Whew! Sorry if I couldn't be any help to you because I won''t even know how to relax if I were in your shoe.

After a hard day's work, I usually go out with my bestfriends and have dinner and have coffee afterwards. I feel relax whenever I'm with my friends specially if we talk and recall about our experiences then we would laugh. Haaaaayyyy!!!! That's already so good to me. Or I sometimes have a body massage/foot massage. Trust me!!! It's really a stress reliever.;) And if I don't have enough money, I go home and play with my dogs and/or just walk around in my neighborhood.;)
