Battle Stress And Depression By Being Beautiful
“Why are you crying again?” I asked my sister as I walked into her room.
“I’m so stressed out. I think James is fooling around with their new intern. I don’t know what to do!” The smell of her foul breath enveloped my being and instantly made me sick.
“TicTac’s, Lorie!” I said.
“Huh?” She was clueless and didn’t even know what I was talking about.
I’m not cold or insensitive. You can say that I’m tough and stress is just a “game” to be played for me. Meaning – if there are stressful situations in my life, I don’t crumble and cry hopelessly. Instead, I find a way to circumvent my stress and make it into a positive moment. Unfortunately, my sister, Lorie is not like that. She was diagnosed with depression when we were in our teens and she’s been having a hard time with her emotions. Our magic word for it is “stress”. I can never say the D-word in her presence. She won’t be able to take it well.
“Your breath stinks! When was the last time you brushed your teeth? Did you take a bath today?” No, she didn’t take a bath today, or yesterday, or the day before.
“Was that the shirt you wore when I waved at you from the road last Saturday?” I was starting to get angry at her. We live a few … Read the rest...
How To Help Your Stressed-Out Man
Women eat stress for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But that’s how women are – they live for stress and life for them must be that way because they are SUPERS. Women stomp on it and cough it out in one blast. Men, on the other hand, are not accustomed to stress which is why an increasing number of them realize they could benefit from psychiatric help. How can they be? It’s always the women who carry the heavy load at home and outside the sanctuary – cook, clean, laundry, kids and work. Men are the breadwinners, yes, but they are not domesticated. And let’s face it, household and family issues are the stressful type of issues in life, do you agree?… Read the rest...

No Matter How Many Kids You Have, You’ll Be Stressed
Being a mother is more than just a label. It is a responsibility and a job in which you are always on duty. You might think that having more kids would mean more of your daily stress, but research disagrees with this notion. In fact, studies show that mothers who have three kids are more stressed than those who only have one or two kids and those with 4 and more. According to this research, the Dugger effect is in place once you reach a certain number of kids and it starts to get easier.
The truth though is that this could be a complete myth!
No number is more or less stressful when it comes to kids.
There is a notion that your level of stress would be dependent on the number of kids you have. Some say that when you reach a certain number, it’ll get easier since you’ll get used to everything. Others believe that the higher the number of kids you have, the more stressful it becomes. The truth is that every kid is different and raising one will always be stressful.
It may be true that your first child will definitely rock your world, especially since that kid would be a life-changer for you. But any kid that follows will be as stressful as the first one, no matter what.
If you find it easier after 4 kids, it

Building A Support System To Help Cope With Stress
Stress can be often difficult to deal with alone. You may feel overwhelmed, angry, and even isolated when you’re dealing with high levels of stress. If you can relate to the description above and you need someone to talk to, read what Betterhelp has to say, or you can take a look at the tips below to help you build a solid support system to help you cope with stress.
- Don’t Rely on One Person
We all have that one friend that we tell absolutely everything to. We share our secrets, our schedules, and sometimes our nonsense opinions with them. While this may usually be a good thing, this can be potentially harmful during a stressful period. Your friend will not always be able to be there for you when you need it most, which can create even more stress for you if you need someone to talk to in that moment. Instead, seek out a great number of people who you love and who you can confide in. This way when you need to talk about something that is bothering you, you will always have someone to speak with, even if it isn’t always your go-to person.… Read the rest...
“Good” Stress Is A Good Thing!
There is such a thing as good stress!
“I have finals this weekend, and at the same time, 2 of my old clients are waiting for their gowns to be finished. One of the evening dresses, the “serpentine” one in black needs more Swarovski crystals, and that can’t be done by a machine. I have to put it on myself. It’s not that tedious, but I also have another gown that needs tending. While the ball gown is already finished, the client wanted to loosen the petticoat inside for about 2 inches. In 2 months’ time, she got wider. These things happen, and the only way to solve it is just to do it!” – This was me a month ago when stress enveloped my being.… Read the rest...
