So last year I could blame everything on my zillions of conditions. I mean if anything was wrong it was due to my health being out of control or whatever.
Stress was kind of natural since I was struggling with a new school system, and strong medications at the same time.
But this year my health has improved. I mean, I still have my zillion and one conditions and diseases and sicknesses and what not, and still see at least 3-4 different doctors on a regular basis, but things have kind of improved.
Yet, I am finding it hard to cope. My medication isn't that strong anymore, I don't haver any after school job, yet I manage to fuck up my scheduling, ending up with shits of homework, plans with friends and doctors appointments. And they all clash together.
It's affecting me physically. My back is all "knotty" and tight. Feeling tense all the time, even if I am just watching tv or trying to fall asleep in bed. And my patience is non-present.
It's easy to distract myself for a little while, but it all returns. And all I need is a breath of relieve and release, yet it seems impossible.
In what ways can stress be gotten rid of?

Best of luck..sorry i wasnt much help
Take care...and hope it soon sorts it out..

Perhaps do something like yoga, which will physically relax your muscles. Or listen to some music. There's some theory that boroque music is really relaxing (Bach / Handel / Vivaldi), give it a go.
The only final thing that people have said to me in the past is aromatherapy. Invest in an oil burner and some lavender oil and just relax for a bit.
If you have a faith, perhaps try praying. Or if not write things down in a diary, just ot let go.
Take care,

Why would a curtain help her? lmao sorry but that made me laugh.
I know i am not one to speak but... .
I know what he meant, it just tickled me. I have the giggles now. Simple things...
Have you ever listened to the sounds of the Pan Pipes, they are so relaxing. If you lie down alone, close your eyes and just listen to pan pipes they are very good at making people feel calm. Its such a relaxing/calming music. You might be sat there now thinking what the hells she on about now but you try what I said and I think you might be pleasantly suprised (and do let me know if you tried it)
*hides in shame*
How is it going..has it been better lately..keep us upto date..im interested in how this will work out..:) good luck...you can overcome it..
Right before I made this post I started the list thing and crossing out which spanner mentioned. It has helped me a bit.
Plus i got some big assignments out of the way. Which means more sleep, and less pressure.
Now, my mom took me to an alternative health doctor yesterday who meassured up my need of vitamins and she gave me a whole load of vitamins to take. About 20-25 a day. Some of them were to reduce stress. Others were for my other health problems. She said I'd probably start feeling a difference within 8 days if I take the pills correctly.
Exercise was mentioned. Which I already do. Go to the gym twice a week. On a quiet one three times, which is my ideal. Plus i have two hours of gym a week in school. Gym helps getting tension out of the body for the day. But doesn't really have a long term effect.
Was thinking that maybe changing my diet would help. Thinking about going vegetarian. At least want to start cutting down meat, so I only eat chicken and fish. And then later (some years) cut those away too.
I eat pretty healthily. Due to Diabetes my diet is as an ideal one should be. But my weight is increasing a bit due to my fat turning into muscles. My body is functioning better, and is more toned, but I just want to go down in weight as well.
So will probably try that in the new year.
You seem to be a lot happier with yourself now.
Did you try the pan pipes thing ? im gonna nag you till you tell me yes
Will need to find some cheap cd with that I guess. Not going to spend good money on some cd which I don't know if I'll like, when I can be buiying other cd's with stuff I am dying to get.
Thanks.
