Cannot Relax

Hey Josy! Find what makes you happy and refreshes you. For me, I like to sit on my patio and just breathe. Nature brings me back to life. Sometimes, I like to just go for a drive in local fields with the windows rolled down so I can smell the world. Also, when I'm way stressed, I find that listening to music like Nine Inch Nails or Marilyn Manson while driving and turning it way up and screaming out the songs with them, seems to really help me get it out. It destresses me. But, everyone has their own destressers. You just need to find what makes you feel refreshed. Try to sit in a quiet place or lay in bed or something with the lights out. Whatever is comfortable. Breathe slowly in and out. Don't think about anything at all. Concentrate on nothing but your breathing. When thoughts come up, concentrate on your breathing more and don't entertain the thoughts. Do this for at least 10 minutes and you will feel better. Don't be discouraged if you can't unwind at first. Just keep doing it until you do. Hope that helps!

Hiya everybody any tips on switching of and relaxing from all this nothing works with. I have a real problme going to work at the moment as it happens a lot at work and i get really faint big time and just cannot cope with that feeling i am so scared that one day i might just pass out with this as i get my self in a state over this everyday, I feel like I have lost me somewhere along the line and cannot find this once bubbly, happy, outgoing person, my docs have offered my meds but I have had bad experience on them before one tablet I took drop my heart beat dangerously low and had to rushed for help and took a month for my heart beat to return to semi normal where I could walk to the kitchen without being out of breath so will not take anything, but everything it getting to much a bit with all the weird feelings that if I said to some people wpuld think I' crazy. Anyone tell me wat strange feelings they get might make me feel better.
