out" and should go for help? Do you find yourself becoming angry

Stress is pressure (either positive or negative) that the mind
and body experience. If it is negative pressure, stress can lead
to a breakdown of the body and cause the mind to malfunction (distress).
Effective coping skills will help you manage your stress under any
circumstances. The stress management program involves:
- Understanding what causes you to feel unwanted stress, your
"triggers";
- Learning to bring down your stress levels;
- Learning to deal with others in a calmer, more relaxed state;
- Effectively preparing yourself for stressful occasions;
- Learning to perceive things from other points of view in order
to function at your best.
Being stressed is not something to be taken lightly. Suffering from
its effects over time can lead to any number of serious physical conditions
including: heart disease, stomach and digestive problems, headaches,
depression, fatigue and muscle aches.
