You should learn healthy ways to cope up and get the right care to help you to reduce stressful feelings and symptoms.
1. Take a Break. Whatever it is that making you feel uncomfortable and stressed. Stop with it. If it’s about work, maybe ask your boss to at least have one or two days of vacation leave. If watching the news making you anxious, stop watching the news and divert your interest in some other things that might entertain you.
2. Take care of yourself. Know your worth, think what if you get sick or gone in your state of mind, what will happen? If you understand now what I’m talking about, start to take care of yourself because you always needed by your family. Your family loves you. Eat and drink healthy foods. Have a daily exercise and plenty of sleep that you need. If you have the budget, get yourself good vitamins to drink.
3. Talk to others. Share your problems with your family and friends. Let them know your situation, even they might not help you to solve it at least they might give you thoughts or at least some words of wisdom and hope to keep you going.
4. Talk to the expert if you think you need one. If it’s become worst and you think it’s better to end your life, find a good doctor or specialist like a psychologist, or if you don’t have the budget for that go to your Barangay and ask a social worker that will give counseling.
5. Avoid Alcohol and Drugs. At first, maybe you think it will help you but you are wrong, it will worsen your problem and stocked with it forever. It will create additional problems and additional stress you are experiencing at the moment.
