desperate asked:


I am 14 and I would like to know how to lead a stress-free life and to get rid of stress if I even encounter or go through it. Especially with my critical years of school coming up, I do not want to stress out and start freaking out and become very unhealthy such as developing high blood pressure, etc.

Sometimes I get really frustrated and I need an outlet for this. E.G. if talking to my ex husband has really made me mad (we need to keep in touch cos of the kids)

I dont have a punching bag and I live in an apartment in the middle of the city, so I dont have anywhere I can go just to scream or whatever.

What are some ways I can let the explosion out rather than bottle it in. Running is out cos of my bad knee.

Tail Stinger asked:


This is a high stress time. I’ve been diagnosed as depressed. Insomnia is really bad, to the point I dread going to bed. As soon as my head hits the pillow, my mind goes into high gear. Although I have a hard time losing weight normally, I’ve been dropping weight like you wouldn’t believe. Has anyone taken medications for problems like this, & was it effective? I finally got an appointment with the doctor this Friday. I’d appreciate recommendations from anyone. Thank you!

I’m a Jew and I’m only 13.
I don’t want to use medications because I’m only 13 and most of my depression comes from stress from schoolwork and unsolveable problems.
The problem is after I do all these things I’m just depressed again.

Joy asked:


I know the unhealthy ways, such as lashing out at people for random reasons and eating too much unhealthy food. So what are some HEALTHY ways to ease stress? Because as much as we’d all like to get rid of the SOURCE of stress in our lives, we can’t. So there must be a better way to handle it, right?

I think a zillion of you will tell me to meditate. Do you have any other thoughts as well?

Jewel asked:


I have so much to deal with everyday. I’ve tried lots of things to help me deal with it but nothing seems to work. I just want my days to go by easier, are there any tips to get rid of stress that may help.
