Is it life in general that upsets you or is it something specific? There are ways to relieve stress without meds. Talking about it is one. I hope you are feeling better.

Hang in there because things always get better, going through a stressful year myself. Have you tried klonopin? It helps my nerves and stress. My therapist believes in doing things or rather not doing anything but relax and try to "decompress". Deep breathing...talking it out..distraction with something that makes you feel good on tv or dvd.....
Just took 2 klonopin myself.Maybe a therapist would help you deal with life's stresses. Helped me but I need to go back now again. Good luck. I'm here if you want support.

When life has me upset I am usually battling ten or more issues I feel insecure about all at once. I used to try taking really hot baths in the evening to calm myself and ease the tension and sometimes even 3 baths a day become practically ineffective. But I do know that the hot water can calm you down for even a few minutes which may be enough to untangle your mind. Another thing I learned way back in my childhood is that when everything in your environment becomes so overwhelming, it can help to focus your eyes on one thing, an object, and kind of just observe every tiny detail about it until your entire focus is on the object itself, it's texture, color, etc. It sounds crazy but I actually read about the technique once in a magazine. I am so desperate at times that I will try anything.

I think what I am trying to clarify is that I find it a bit useful to replace my hopeless thoughts with abstract thoughts.
