Hoping someone can help me. I seem to be able to get stressed really easily doing anything at all… I can do a whole days work one day and be OK and the next I’m really bad and there is no change in work. One night I can make dinner and be ok and the other I get really stressed? I just don’t know what’s up with me?

Hello,
Thanks for commenting.
I would be happy to offer what help I can in this medium.
Do you notice any particular differences on the days that you “OK?”
Lots of the time, the stress factor has to do with how we are relating to the days events, or life events.
Stressors are the events, circumstances, situations, and dynamics of home, work and life that cause stress.
What we think about the stressors can make a big difference.
It might help if you can begin to notice what is going on in your mind when you feel “OK” and when you get “really stressed.”
Once one notices the differences one can learn to change the thinking to the kind that makes you feel better.
Drop a comment and let me know if that helps at all.
I might be able to offer a couple other ideas as well.

Hello Orlando,
Thank you so much for your positive comment about the blog. That means a lot, especially since my blog is new.
I am also fairly new at blogging, so it took me a few days to respond.
However, I am not new at stress management for myself or for my clients/patients.
It appears that you know something about stress too. I’d be interested in hearing a little about your ideas on “how to break free from stress,” if you would care to share.
