i have so many things going on in my life right now and i cant really talk to anyone or even really trust anyone i kno im trying move and get a fresh start but everything is just so stressful i was wondering if anyone had any tips on dealin with stress

I am not one to judge, but given your history and current situation (gang), perhaps you should take a step back and re-evaluate your life. You're still young. Just a suggestion. Wish you the best.

Ativan

That'll work too!

sit down and eat a bag of oreos :) and then contemplate whats bugging you while eating and then what things you can change and what you just have to bite the bullet on. Luck!

Well to be honest.. every body has a different way of dealing with stress in there own way that is.

Rather it's eating, listing to music, talking to family or friends and or a doctor. Going for a walk. Playing videogames etc etc. Prayin to god.

In the end you will just have to find your own way of dealing with the things that are stressing you out and try to figure out on how to find out what those things might be and then don't do them, rather there your friends then maybe it's time to get new ones. Only you know though.

i know what things are stressing me its just very hard to change them.. its not like i can just hang out with different people to or i would

make yourself bussy, get a second/third job, always have something else to do, and maby that can help to phase you out

working, exercising, reading, masturbating, sleeping, internetting, learning

I'm unsure what those things are that are stressing you out. whatever it is... your just gonna have to work around them so you can unstress your self.

If it's the people your hanging out with that is stressing you out, you can too change that but you have to be willing to take the first step in doing so.

But if it's some kind of life and death type of thing where your in it for life etc, then well I don't know what to tell you. All I can say is pray pray pray.

Edit:

I read quickly one of your other post in a topic called who are you I belive it is.. any way's you say your a gangbanger.

That choice as well as you know was your to get into a gang, now you have a bigger one to save your life and get the hell out of that gang before it ruins your life and your familys life.

That is if you love your family, guessing you do etc.

I seen a lot of what happens surely on tv and in movies and that is only a wake up call on what goes on in gangs etc. If you love your self enough and your family then you would grow some balls and get out of that gang.

Best of luck to you.

thanks ill start to pray pray pray :)

maybe you should take a getaway trip for a weekend just to forget for a second.

present happiness.
15. Don't have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
