    I agree...It may sound lame, but exercise always makes me feel better! :flowerforyou: Also, a hot cup of coffee or tea and chatting with a girlfriend about how silly boys are helps too! Feel better! :drinker:

    I am having boy stress myself right now. To combat this I've been making sure to do extra hard workouts (I feel good when I meet a goal for MYSELF) and I've been dressing in nicer clothes rather than the ones that don't make me feel so pretty. If I feel good on the outside, make and meet goals for myself, and make ME happy, I tend to feel better entirely. I even took myself on a great, beautiful, challenging hike (see pics in profile) on Sunday. I NEVER do things like that by myself! Keep in mind that if you let him get to you and that stops you from doing what you want for you, he wins. Remember that you're the only one you can count on to always make you happy! Don't give up on yourself! :flowerforyou:

    Or it might help if you can write a letter to yourself and reflect on all the things you have to be happy for. Like a good job,happy in school,good family or good friends???? I find that when I used to have boy trouble I used to focus SOO much energy on that 1 negative thing...and when I really opened my eyes I realized all the amazing things I was missing out on!!!!! sometimes keeping life in perspective can help get over the really big hurdles in life....I know it sucks sometimes!!!!!!!

    Your body's reaction to stress is to pump adrenaline through the system. This goes back to the caveman times when stress was a sabre toothed tiger about to eat you. Your body prepared to battle the beast or run your butt off to get away.

    Nowadays the stress is not generally physical but more mental or emotional such as a bad day at work or "boy troubles".

    You are still getting the adrenaline pumping through your body but you aren't doing anything from it since you aren't running or battling. Your best bet is to work out in some way and utlize the adrenaline in your system

    Honey, I could write a book on "boy troubles":laugh: :laugh: Exercise is a great stress reliever, as others have already said. Having friends or family to talk to is important also. I don't know what I would have done when I went through all the stuff I have been through, if I hadn't had my workouts and my time with friends and family to look forward to.
