How much stress can one person take before its to much. How many people can one person help before there being used. How can you be happy if your not sure anymore what makes you happy.

Wow..... I be here all day with you talking about this ! I know where you coming from ik the feeling, id rather not even go there! All I know is a person can take a lot and sometimes when you think you cant take no more it gets worse yet and somehow you have the strength to get through it cuz you have no other choice or option but.........to!

@Moosepower: if you're not sure what makes you happy and things that used to make you happy dont anymore that might be a sign of an outset of depression. Find a quiet place and ask yourself why do things that made me happy no longer have that affect on me?

@Moosepower: And I was talking bout stress.......I do know what makes me happy! :)

Dueling makes me happy

@Moosepower: stress is like cancer. It spreads and can hurt. Whatever is ailing u, i suggest u just blank it out. Good luck

...""" HALTS is an acronym commonly used in
substance abuse treatment that can be very
usefully applied to stress management. A
HALTS approach to managing our stress
recommends that we avoid getting too Hungry
Angry Lonely Tired Scared.
Hungry - Although food comes immediately to
mind (when doesn't it?), there are many other
things for which we can "hunger." We all need
a sense of worth, connection to others and to
something bigger than ourselves, appreciation,
and many others. Miss out on some of these
basic emotional needs for very long and we
can end up sad or depressed.
Tip:Angry - I get angry, you get angry, we all
get angry. No problem there. The problem
comes when anger is our most common
emotion and our first response to most
situations. Recent research has demonstrated
that constant anger is not only not good for
you, it can kill you.
Tip: Pay attention to and deal with the
emotions that anger typically grows out of:
fear, frustration, hurt.
Lonely - In spite of all the modern ways we
have to communicate with each other, we still
live in a culture where it is incredibly easy to
become isolated. Most people don't know the
names of their neighbors on either side or
across the street. I know of people who are
"just too busy" to spend the time to connect
with other people. These folks are way too
busy for their own good.
Tip: Take the time to connect and stay
connected to others. Walk next door and
introduce yourself. Call an old friend you have
not spoken with in a while. Stay connected.
Tired - Vince Lombardi said "Fatigue makes
cowards of us all." It's not that most people
don't have the time to rest, it's that most
people have actually forgotten how. When it
comes to the ultimate form of rest, sleeping,
when was the last time you got the
recommended 8 - 10 hours? You can stop
laughing now. We can push ourselves just so
far before the body takes over and forces us to
rest. I've worked with clients that have told me
that it's actually a badge of honor among
their colleagues to have been hospitalized for
exhaustion. Go figure.
Tip: In addition to getting enough sleep,
schedule time to rest. Put it in your
appointment book, and protect it and keep it
like you would any other important
appointment.
Scared - In the Tarzan movies I watched as a
kid, there were these natives with blowguns
who would shoot darts coated with poison
that would render a person temporarily
paralyzed. Fear can do the same thing -
paralyze us into inaction. Fear of failure, of
rejection, of success, of the future, you name
it, we get too scared and we freeze up.
Tip: Facing your fears and taking action is
spite of them can reduce or eliminate your
fears. Remember that fear stands for forget
everything and run and false evidence
appearing real. Courage is not the absence of
fear. Courage is being afraid of something and
doing it anyway.
For better or worse, we may have too much of
one of these on any given day. Consistently
having two or more can indicate a situation in
need of change. Practice these tips to
successfully manage your stress """"....

i hate to admit it right at this moment but its true..

@WalkSoftly1: HALTS .. i think it put things in perspective . I'll note it down somewhere .
we are all leading pretty crazy lives . stress get to you very easily coz everything around you builds pressure and expects conformity .
i feel i need to slow down a bit and stop thinking .

Nothing and nobody can make you happy if you are unhappy with yourself.
