Exercise, breathing exercises, yelling, sex, etc.

These are the healthiest ways to get rid of stress. Exercise and sex are among the best I believe.

If you have any chronicle diseases ask a doctor if any special herbs would interact with it. If you don't know if you have any, go take a check-up first, including a full allergy test. Many people die everyday because of "harmless" herbs and stuff. Every-body is different. Also, the amount you take is important. Even the most clean drinking water can harm you if you drink senselessly - a lot.

I still insist that physical activity is the best way to fight stress and remain healthy. Never eat a lot at once but consume all food varieties throughout the week. Fruits and vegetables come first. Consume yogurt everyday(excepting the days when you eat fish) and garlic whenever you're free to smell like it. Preferably everyday but yeah.

How do I know? I'm 35 and look and feel like 25, mainly because I care about what I eat.

I appreciate you taking the time, and respect your opinion, but honestly, when it comes to doctors, I only make an appointment if there's no other way out. In a lot of cases, I find it better to research my condition myself and self-medicate.

The reason for this is not because I think I'm better than a medical professional, but most general practitioners knows a little about many things, and they're in no way specialist of anything, so a lot of the time it seems like the MD just scratch his head and prescribe some sort of pill so the patient should feel the visit was 'worth it'.

Another factor is that most health personell don't give a shit about you. You're what, one in n patients that day for that doctor, and he will never go the extra mile for you. He don't care or he don't have the time. You're the only one that has hours to search online or read books and learn about your condition, and you have a very good motivation, as it's your health.

And unless you go to an expensive private clinique, a visit to the doctor is usually consisting of a lot of waiting time, as they don't seem to respect and honour the time of their patients, and a lot of the times the doctors can't do much anyway.

I'm not dismissing the fact that health care providers can be of essential value at certain times, but going there too often for minor aliments, I'm not sure if there's any point to that.

And apart from that rant about doctors, I agree 100% with your advise. And yes, garlic is wonderful for the health. That's absolutely true. It can also be had in supplement form that supposedly removes the stench. It might be a bit weaker that way. However, if you cut it in pieces and swallow it, you might not smell that much from your mouth.

Think positive and don't focus on things that stress you out.  This life is the only one you may have so don't waste it with the negative.

Always wondering why people are thinking so much about their problems. As I've said life is not that complicated. All problems can be solved in 5 minutes tops.

You are a happy man. If your problems can be solved in 5 min ...

I am not so lucky as you are. My problems stays with me for a long long time ... and they do not want to leave me alone
5min is not enough and I must say I am very good in solving problems of other people Just mine are too heavy.

Sometimes you just have to tolerate and concentrate on avoiding doing things that will bring stress to your life.

[startselect]

Get a cat.

[startselect]

Or better, get fishes. People who are stressed out buy fishes. There was a study that showed that it helped, because the fishes represents a totally different calm world.

[platorin]

Get a cat.

Oh God, no! Unless you want to release your stress on a poor creature. But that I do not aprove. Fishes, however, are a great, great idea! Especially those combined with coral reef.

Stress is greatly related to the phase of life we are in. Stress is part of the territory while raising a family and all that goes with it, and working. Now I am retired, but not inactive. I am actually very active and involved. The big difference stress wise is that now I can handle things on my own schedule, not someone else’s. Yippee!

[jodybay]

that is why i said that people need to be creative you can avoid stress by doing something other people find out that whenever they are stress they can do such amazing things like painting on a canvas or any other kinds of art
my way to avoid stress is to go skateboarding or some extreme sports

[noviapriani]

Get a cat.

so true.I have three cats and always felt so relaxed around them plus I laugh at the things they do.my oldest one is now 16 which in human years is 80 years old.she's our families oldest cat and we have had her for 16 years and hoping to keep her till she is at lest 20 or more.

[TheFootMan]

a dog is nice to - in fact dogs are more like humans than cats, responds better to you, and you get a better connection with them.

[gagalady]

I don't think animals is the solution you have to control and destroy It yourself, It needs effort.

I deal with stress by just gazing at the starts when I can.
I like to have a warm shower flow on me and just warm me up.
I also like to take a drive. If possible to the ocean but if not anywhere is fine. Just listening to music in the car and driving on a long high way. I usually do this at night when there is no traffic. Cause we all know that traffic can stress us out. I also enjoy a game of volley ball.
Another way for me to release stress is having "fun"with my husband. And this is when the stress does not have to do with him.
Sometimes I use tricyclic antidepressant and buy coupons here http://www.rx-discountcoupons.com/ I try not to get stressed to easily even though I get frustrated easily. A good meal and rest and some exercise is always a good way to go.

[Spoetnik]

Find some drugs.. legal or otherwise
Lots of options there.. maybe talk to a doctor eh.
Get your blood pressure checked too !
I had mine done recently and i am going on heart med's quick.

Exercise like riding a bike can help wear you out and get your mind off things too
should make for a better nights sleep if you are worn out etc.

Most importantly accept it..
Some people are more stressed so just learn to live with it and be at peace with it.
And realize everyone is an idiot but YOU and the only opinion that matters is your own.
No one will ever be more qualified to judge you .. than you.
Take control.. you can it's your for the taking.

fuck everyone and fuck everything.. one day at a time LOL
