    Why not talk about some of these issues with some. When *kitten* start hitting the fan for me I talk to somebody close to me.

    Honestly, for me it is all about physical exertion and focus. Stress is a mental condition, so I try and work it out in the gym or I use my archery. The archery helps because to do it right you need to be in the zone, you have to focus on form and aim and you kinda block everything else out for a while. I guess yoga, or something like that would work too.

    Stress can be a serious thing, and I've seen it change people and lead to depression. If you feel it is affecting you overly then it may be worth talking to someone.

    I would add that anxiety is not always caused by external environment and can be related to hormones or other chemical changes in the body (such as hyperthyroid for example - no amount of yoga can fix your hormone numbers!) but that of course, should be professionally diagnosed. If you are sure that your anxiety is related to external environment only, then yes, I would agree - exercise, taking time to just step back and sort through your thoughts would be helpful.

    If you have actual anxiety attacks (you'll know it if you do), I'd suggest a doctor visit. I struggled with them for years and finally got help.

    I used to get nervous in school, but then it gets to a point where your grades are not so much about what you learn vs. the material, it's how you do relative to everyone else in the class.

    Then I would take a look around and feel much better instantly...

    my therapist told me to put all that stress and anxiety into a box. I picture a box and I put everything in it, it actually helped me.

    I talk to someone close to me. When it began to affect my day to day life, I reached out to a therapist. When I became suicidal, I told my counselor and got treatment.

    Step outside your situation (in your mind) and look in. Nothing is life-ending, life always goes on. Don't study 7 days a week and feel guilty about not studying. :-)

    If it's just anxiety, get a Xanax script. LOL.

    They're awesome.

    As someone who has had panic attacks and generalized anxiety, and married to someone with the same, definitely talk to a professional. Anti-anxiety medicine does wonders, and you don't have to stay on it forever, even just counseling/therapy sessions to talk it out can do a lot too.
