Sarah,

Thanks very much for all these infos - I've already printed them out and will give it a try. Will update you as soon as I can apply them. Really appreciated.

Hi Rose,

I'm pleased you liked him so much (!) he's on another computer and as I registered with the new version of the DepressionCenter, I didn't have it on this computer. But I will update the image (!) just for the meantime I've found this picture of another one - this is actually not mine I just love these pets

Hope, you're doing well? Let us know please!

Perth,

Try session 11 and 12 for their focus on worry and relazation techniques. Hopefully you will find these useful.

Just to mention, stress is a normal part of everyone's life and there are healthy ways of dealing with it. You can change or avoid the sources of stress. You can change the way that you respond to stress and you can learn to relax by utilizing your stress plan!

Answer the following questions to get started:

Name the biggest source of stress in your life?

Is this source of stress short-term or long-term?
How do you react to this source of stress?
Is your reaction appropriate to the context?
Is your reaction helpful to you in the long-term?
What other reactions could you have to this source of stress?

In question six, you are asked to choose an alternative behaviour. Your challenge this week will be to try it out.

The next step of your stress plan includes methods of coping. Coping generally falls into five categories:

Physical
Mental
Social
Diversions
Spiritual

Pick 2 for each category and rank on a scale of 1-10 the level of relaxation/stress relief this activity provides for you.

The next time your stressor rears its ugly head, rate the level of stress you are experiencing and pick the corresponding numbered coping strategy.

Keep us updated on how the coping goes.

Members, any additional suggestions for Perth on how to manage stress?

Hi All,

Anybody knows which session deals with stress and how to cope with it? How to find the balance again after a stressful day or week? Or how to design your day with a minimum of stress?

Thank you & appreciated
