What do you do to de-stress?

Question

I’m desperate right now. I ended up in the hospital because of it. I have had a headache for 3 days because of it. I’m hardly eating because of it and I’m pregnant so it’s really bad. I have severe anxiety and feel like I’m going to die. 
I need ways to destress and to calm myself down. I worry and stress about literally everything!!!

Answer

Aromatherapy. I burn essential oil candles and use essential oil roller balls on my wrist, behind ears, and under nose. I also use a vaporizer with essential oils

Answer

Try writing stuff down. Getting you thoughts on paper can help you work through it

Answer

Not sure if it'll work for you, but I clean when I'm stressed. Vacuuming and organizing and seeing my house clean afterwards is incredibly relieving! Or my boyfriend will let me pop his back zits while he watches TV. (Gross, I know, but it's oddly therapeutic for me and he doesn't mind)

Answer

I have a feelings journal that I write in to calm me down. My mother in law made it for me and it helps a lot! If you need to talk I'm always here! ♥️

Answer

Have you considered medication?

Answer

i’m in the same situation as you!! ive been having extreme headaches and body aches due to stress and anxiety. ive also lost 7 pound in 4 days. 
whats been helping me though is talking to a friend i trust, drinking lots of water, sitting outside, colouring, drinking tea. 
ive had anxiety my entire life but ive never spoke about it to my doctor. im planning on getting treatment for it. would you consider treatment? i feel like if it’s really taking a toll on your health you should speak to your doctor about it. 
i hope this helps❤️

Answer

Another thing i suggest is looking up negative thinking, limiting beliefs and growth mindset on pinterest and youtube to see if u can get to the root cause of worry and anxiety. Or therapy? 
    The mind is very powerful and thoughts can be extremely toxic. Some of our minds are weaker than others and require “exercises” and “stretches” daily. So look those up and ways to cope. I even downloaded a app called Affirm at one point to help redirect my thoughts to positive ones. Possitive affirmations can b powerful. Learning to reject negative thoughts can be powerful. Its like learning to pluck weeds from your garden before they take over.
    Another thing for me was diet. I had to stay away from processed foods and focus on healthy life giving foods that full of nutrition so body and mind can operate properly. Look up mental health and diet on youtube. So many drs suggest the rise in processed food and not eating leafy greens, fruits blueberries strawberries bannana oranges broccoli carrots spinach avocado etc hv gravely impacted mental health. Whats your diet looking like?. I thought i would have to be put on meds but after research i adjusted my diet. I also took omega fish oil, vitamin d, vitamin b12 and a probiotic to help balance microbiome and because i read those supplements help counter act depression and i felt good within days.
   I also started walking. Direct sunlight has vitamin d.
