Another way is talking about the things that trouble you with someone you trust. If things are really difficult and you don't have anyone you think you can talk to, try your local mental health center, or find a mental health professional in the phonebook and go see them. When your symptoms are mainly physical, though, you should see your physician about them. The fourth and perhaps most important step in stress management, is making yourself less vulnerable to stress. The best way to prevent the development of stress symptoms is to take good care of yourself.
Some people are more vulnerable to stress than other people.
Your vulnerability to stress is determined by a set of complex interactions among your biological predisposition, health behaviors, lifestyle considerations, and your financial, spiritual, and social resources for coping with stress. Your reported level of vulnerability to stress places you at the 73rd percentile for the general population. This level of vulnerability to stress really should be corrected. I get 7-8 hours sleep at least 4 nights per week. I exercise to the point of perspiration at least twice a week.
