    How do you deal with stress? Me I loose track of time, smoke more and slow down eating and will go days without sleep. In the last four months I have had to deal with my Grandmother passing away, My mom having heart problems and being in and out of the hospital. Add to that a severe jaw infection and cuts at work and a teenager thats blows off chores and loves to fight with my wife (his aunt by mariage). I am finaly dealing with my Grandmothers passing and things at work are settling down. My mom is improving with treatment. The teen, I do not think that will ever change.

     I just wonder just how people deal with stressfull situations. I just do not handle them very well. Shaun

    I take it out at work. With my job i can work harder and it seems to help and then i begin to pay attention to other things to get my mind off the problem....and i drink...that may not be the best way but it has worked for me, I dont drink out of control though just weekend warrior.

    don't let some kid stress you out. show him how your wife fill's by you getting in his face and you yell  in his face and that will help you deal with you with your stress.

    Calm down there. I have found that ONE shot of whiskey is enough to help me sleep. Normaly I do not drink. As for the teenager, well there are ways to keep him in line. Like taking him gameboy away, or not letting him drive. Even giving him more chores. There is not really any need to yell. He does cause stress but he is just like we all were at his age. And like all of us he makes mistakes. I did not start this thread to cause any fights, just wanted to know what others do to deal with stress. Shaun
