			<description><![CDATA[I can relate to the "white noise."  Racing thoughts are so overwhelming.  I often use the mantra, "I don't have to do everything.  I just have to do something."  Then I pick one thing and do it.  It has certainly helped to reduce the chaos of having everything piled on at once.  I think your "one th...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thank you for adding this topic.  My physical signs of stress are so annoying and yet are useful in letting me know when I need to stop.  I suffer from major muscle tension in my shoulders, arms and neck that often radiates down and causes pain and numbness.  I find it difficult to make myself relax...]]></description>

For me, grabbing a ziploc bag of ice and squeezing it in my hands sometimes lowers these symptoms. Also, putting ice on my chest, back of my neck, and wrists help. Phy...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I know it's difficult to endure stress w/o resorting to relief by using anxiety and/or depression pills, but my suggestion would be to PLEASE STOP TAKING PILLS!!! Look for natural ways to lower your blood pressure (ie supplements like <a href="http://www.dailystrength.org/treatments/Garlic" onclick="treatmentHotLink('http://www.dailystrength.org/treatments/Garlic')" class="treatmentlink" title="Learn more about Garlic">garlic</a> [odorless] and Hawthorn Berry, <a href="http://www.dailystrength.org/treatments/Cayenne" onclick="treatmentHotLink('http://www.dailystrength.org/treatments/Cayenne')" class="treatmentlink" title="Learn more about Cayenne">Cayenne</a> Pepper, Apple Cider...]]></description>
