do you handle stress well?

[skim milk]

I can't handle it well.... mentally it deteriorates my confidence.. and it starts deteriorating my physical health

my face is aging with bags and lines.. I don't have young cute boyish look anymore :/

 

[EngenZerO]

yep. handle it with no problems...

 

[spherrod]

Yep - no problem really. What are you stressing about?

 

[MichaelD]

Yes, dammit! I handle it JUST FINE, thank you...I'm fine. No problems. Stop staring at me...I'll finish the project on time! I don't need you standing over my shoulder! Yes, I know I've got only an hour left, but I'll make it...sheesh...leave me alone!

I need more coffee.

 

[j00fek]

yeh i just lift when im pissed

 

[Lola]

I will be honest, in many situations i am ok, but that has to do with work. With family/personal life, I do not handle it well at all.

 

[acemcmac]

I'm usually fine. Trying to graduate, breaking up with my girlfriend of two years, securing my first job out of college and closing on my first house simultaneously uncovered a stress-triggered auto-immune disorder however. Apparantly, I'm so hardcore that when I get really amped up, my immune system might get impatient and start attacking itself.

 

[Exterous]

With most issues about work/school/friends I handle it well - relationships not nearly as well, but i wouldn't say I handle stress badly. The two areas I could improve on are dwelling on things I can change/control and dealing with incompetance at work <- That will probably give me a heart attack one of these days

You have Lupus ?

 

[irishScott]

On the whole, yeah. That's not to say I won't feel extremely guilty if I fail at something, but I get little or no stress during the actual assignment. Personal matters are another story...

 

[krunchykrome]

I think I handle it decently. I work well under pressure, and things usually get done when it's urgent.

 

[pontifex]

nope
depends on what you mean? outwardly, i don't really tensd to show it but inside i'm freaking out.

actually, i have problems with showing emotions or telling people how i feel. i could be super pissed off but depending on who asks how i'm doing. i'll just say fine.

i have that problem with co-workers and my bosses.

Depends on the situation and circumstance

 

[FoBoT]

most of the time

 

[lokiju]

Sometimes.

 

[BoomerD]

FVCK STRESS!

If you don't care, it can't get to you...

 

[eplebnista]

No

 

[sash1]

I've always tended to deal with stress quite well. Though I'd prefer if my life would be a little less stressful, because it always is. But I always handle it well and don't let it affect me.

 

[fire400]

excercise, sleep, perform something artistic, last but not least, spend time with friends and family

many people forget that stress exists in everyone's lives at different times. don't become a robot.

Do go on! I'm very interested in hearing about this; I have to wonder if I have something similar myself.

 

[thirdlegstump]

I'm always in rational mode regardless of my mental health. I'm a brick.

Depends on the stressor.

As a former EMT-I, I always felt comfortable with that (can't even say it was stressing, really). Other stress physically drains me.
