Whatever your problem is, chances are I have dealt with it- either directly of indirectly- at some point in my life. I've worked as a Social Worker (with issues like mental illness, addiction, disabilities, eating disorders, etc.)
I've also taught school (to teens!)and have experience mentoring them.
In addition to that, I've lived in 4 different countries, many different cities, and worked jobs in all different fields from Software Sales to Fashion Designer.
This diverse life experience has given me knowledge on a wide variety of topics- which I hope I can put to good use here. :-)
So go ahead- ask away!
PS- I do not judge people or speak to them in a condescending way. However, I will be honest and tell you what you NEED to hear, not what you WANT to hear.

What are some ways you can relax yourself from being too stressed out? (link)
|
When you really get to the root of the stress you will usually find out that what you're stressed about is not near as big as you built it up to be.
So ask yourself what am I stressed about? And why? What am I afraid will happen? How likely is this to ACTUALLY happen? Keep asking questions like this until you get to the bottom of it. Of course, there are some real reasons to be stressed and some stress is healthy, it's what keeps us going. But if you're OVER stressed then find out why and if all this stress is needed. If you conclude that the world is NOT going to end if this doesn't get done or that doesn't happen, then simply decide not to worry about this or that. Part of de-stressing is making a CONSCIOUS DECISION to do so. Tell yourself (of course, if it's not an urgent matter) 'I refuse to be stressed about this"
If that doesn't work, take a hot bubble bath with candles lit. =)
