How Do You Avoid Stress?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
The Villages, FL

I was voted most stressed out instead of cutest couple senior year of high school (unanimously by 3 english classes).
Yoga is supposed to and it stressed me more since it was not working. how do I turn my brain off? My first bad habit (like a kid asking why) was what if... I could not stop - what if I have a seizure? what if someone sees me? what if no one likes me? - it would make you nuts!!

One of the reasons I love theater is it helps me escape reality!!

That's one thing you need to figure out . We are all different. The best thing I can tell you, is think of a fun relaxing hobbie or activity. So if you enjoy coloring , try it out. Maybe watching tv will do it. Are there any puzzles you like? Listening to the radio is one of the things that calms me down from getting stressed. Maybe sitting in a quiet room away from all the noise and crowd will help. You just need to figure out what helps you relax. Good luck.

Usually when Im stressed I start listening to music and I start taken deep breaths in and out telling myself to calm down and drink cold warter and relax. I also at times write in my journal.
