Give yourself a break
Take a deep breath. Come on, just take a deep breath. Maybe one more. Give yourself a few minutes to relax. A smile wouldn't hurt either. You know too much stress isn't good for you. (It might even shrink the brain!) You know the best long-term strategy for coping with stress is to eat right and get plenty of exercise and rest. But that takes planning and discipline. What can you do right now? Use the Net. It's easy. It's fast. It's private. And you'll find just the right style of help, whether it's just a prod to pour yourself a calming cup of chamomile and try a mind massage or help deciding which local therapist to see or common-sense suggestions. Feeling a little better? No? Perhaps it's more than stress. You've been downsized, divorced, or dissed, and the blues have got you. The Web is the perfect place to seek help in pulling yourself out of a funk without giving up your privacy. You'll find plenty of books and videos to order, classes to take, listings of local therapists, and even online counselors. Perhaps professional help isn't what you need at all. Perhaps what you need is for someone to listen to you. Newsgroups let you share your problems with others in the same boat. Or perhaps a spiritual connection would help ease your worries. Humor can make you chuckle -- and sometimes even provide the insight to get you thinking in a more positive direction. Take a minute for The Dilbert Zone, for example, instead of sobbing onto your pink slip. Reality, by contrast, may seem pretty comforting. So take care of yourself, old dear, and find some help online.
