Dealing with Stress: Tips and Strategies

There are several ways people deal with their issues. Some strategies include developing self-awareness, focusing on what makes them happy, accepting the situation, using coping mechanisms like stress balls and fidget pens, practicing yoga and meditation, venting to someone, hanging out with a trusted friend, going on a drive, listening to music, watching a favorite show or movie, baking, doing a hobby they like, and taking medication religiously. It's also suggested to try to separate reality from delusions, and if feeling completely unsure of what is reality and what isn’t, go to a hospital. Building relationships so you have people that you can trust to talk to is also recommended.
