Dealing with stressful days

[ilovejake]

I just lost my grandpa who I was very close to early this morning. Little amounts of stress just trigger my anxiety, so today my anxiety was very bad because the stress was too much to handle.

How do you guys deal with anxiety that is triggered by stress? I would love to know. Any stress relieving tips would be much appreciated.

Anytime a family member passes away, I think it helps to gather together with other family members and share good memories and funny stories about the person who died. It's also a good idea to do something you enjoy, like a hobby or something, just to get your mind off whatever it is that is causing you stress. Another thing I like to do is to get out into nature and just spend quiet time with God.

Sorry about your loss and understand why you are stressed and anxious. One idea is to try meditation - my psychiatrist recommended it to me and it does help because it gives your head a rest and calms your breathing down.
