I am awful at dealing with stress. When I do get stressed out, I have trouble eating and sleeping to the point where I get sick. For some reason, I can't seem to relax enough to do normal activities when I am stressed out.

I'm preparing for a move in a couple months. I am trying to prepare myself in advance since this is the first move away from home. I'll be moving about 3 hours from my current residence and will be away from most of my close family.

I am interested in learning about techniques to deal with stress. If anyone has any information or websites I can go to, I would greatly appreciate it.

Anything from ways that you deal with stress to yoga/zen would be great.


Thank you in advance.(: (link)
when im really stressed out and cant eat or sleep, i go to any store and buy a small, really rubbery ball. not a bouncy ball, but something you can sqeeze and sometimes they are even called "stress balls".

take one of those and throw it AS HARD AS YOU CAN at a wall. or, get a throwpillow you dont use and take a knife to it. if you dont wanna be so violent, scream as loud as you can into the pillow so you dont scare anyone.

especially when you're mad at someone, these can be really great ways to get stress relieved.

and i have one yoga-type thing you could try:

put on some comfortable clothes. get a pillow, (medium to large) and one of those sound machines. (the ones that play sounds like babbling brook, rainfall, thunder, etc). if you live with anyone, go to a quiet room and ask for some peace. this should only take up about 6-8 minutes, so you wont need long. get in a quiet area where no one can bother you, turn off your phone, or unplug anything that might disturb you. put the sound machine on any setting that you please, and sit on the pillow, cross legged. close your eyes and take 3 really deep breaths and breathe them out slowly. sit really still for about a minute, and then raise your arms as high as they'll go, like you're reaching for something high. take 3 deep breaths again and breathe them out real slow. repeat this about 3 or 4 times, until you feel a bit better, then go and buy a smoothie at sonic. or eat some chocolate.

this really helped me, i hope it works for you, too. :)
