Does anyone have any good ideas on how to deal with stress?


Question:
For example, a sociopathic boss and a bunch of other male coworkers that hate women and want to give you a hard time by either hitting on you or treating you like a dog?

Answers:
Either sue them or find another job ASAP.
CLOSE YOUR EYES, AND LET YOUR MIND WANDER
maybe you should get away from your workplace, that would definitely take the stress off of you.
find..another....job!!...
Just keep reminding yourself how much smarter you are than all of them...
Music always helps me.
Read the Bible and pray.
stand up for yourself! or do pranks on them!
a massage, and quit your job. ask God for help
Stress ball punching bag or pillow.
relax, talk to friends, and confide into them.
sounds like where i work..lol
i go to the gym and beat the leather off of the punching bags or go for a run.
also...listening to salsa music.seriously relaxing.
What a bunch of creeps! Honey, you shouldn't have to deal with that in the first place! BUT - my uncle is a chiropractor.. It feels so amazingly refreshing to get an adjustment (bones cracked) :) Seriously.

If you don't want to try that, consider going to a regular massage therapist, manicure/pedicure, or spa treatment.

You may want to consider getting an attorney, or consider looking for a new job.

Going to the gym, for a run/walk usually helps me relieve my stress.. Also, a bath with lavender helps as well.
How about getting some evidence and filing a sexual harrasment lawsuit. Then the stress will shift from you to them.
take a long bath with lavender aroma therapy. Get sum good sleep. Be a tease if they hit on u. Be a jerk wen theyr meen to you. Fight back.
Call them on sexual harassment? Find a new job? Work your butt off until you're promoted and fire their asses?

Haha, sorry, just brainstorming there. But, when I'm about to go crazy, I write. Either in a journal, or to a friend. Sometimes I even write stories--who knows. You could write the next best seller ;)
The best revenge is to report them. Document it first. If they are really treating you that badly, perhaps you can interview for another company, and get the heck out of there!
Try some stretching excercises. I find it really helps.
Hi! I think you need not deal with stress but with a lot of crazy machoist and neurotic men.

Look for another job and run away! It is just not worth any moment of your time. Life is short and we should try to be happy.
Holy crap! Do you work at my office?

This is what you need to do:

Eat well. There is a tendency that you are so exhausted to stuff whatever you can into your gaping pie-hole.

Next, breathe. there is a concern that you dop not breathe properly and starve your brain of enough oxygen

Last, some kind of exercise program, even if it is a walk around the block. get into the sunshine

No, uyou must continue to eat a balanced meal
um... like ignore them or or like walk the other direction when they walk toward u
ok this is wat i did when i was littler i had a closet full of stuffed animals n i would take my cat and we wud go lay in the closet and i wud think things over and eventually take a nap and when i woke up i always felt refreshed
Sounds like you would do well with a change of occupation.

How about going back to your roots and do something that you used to love to do. Vacation, travel, day off, cooking, bike riding, exercise, paint a picture, call an old friend that you havent spoken to in a long time, buy a puppy, volunteer to less fortunate people, go to church, etc...

I wish you luck..
I was going to suggest meditation... but your question isn't really about stress. Your question is really about a terrible situation that is causing you stress; the stress isn't the problem, just the symptom!

So here's what you need to do: visit careerbuilder and monster religiously, network with friends, and find a new job! Go back to school if you need to, and get yourself out of that terrible situation!

Good luck, girl. I've worked for a-holes too, and I know just what you are going through. Get out. You don't even know how much better life can be. People spend A LOT of time at work... do you really want to keep that kind of company?
personally, i would find another job. im not saying that u should. but that is wut i would do. b4 u do anything rash, treat urself 2 a day @ a local spa. get a mask, pedicure and manicure, and a mudd bath. wen things get hard 4 me, if i take a spa day, the world just gets kinda quiet...and i kan just wash away my worries, and think clearly. those r the dayz that i really think well, and resolve most of my prblms. sounds 2 me like u just need 2 get away! hope this helps!
the best way to deal with stress is to leave the stressful situation alone for a while then have yourself a good time. once you come back to the stressful situation i guarantee that it wont be so stressful. You just need to take a breath of fresh air to calm down.
Getting even is the best way. Second best is thinking "none of this is really important".
To get even you have to hit them where it hurts and protect your weak spots. If you don't like to be confrontational you'll just end up running away from conflict all the time. If that's the case, become someone's "protegé". But threaten to "do something" about the sexual harassment. About the boss... get a new job with a better boss or find a way for him to see you as an ally.
See stress, at http://www.ezy-build.net. (.net.nz/~shaneris) on page 7. Look for a new job. Personally, I'd tape them, covertly, then go to the big boss, with a copy of the tape, as evidence (illegal in some countries!).
well if its during a break, than listen to music or talk on a cell fone *if u hve one*. and if its not and their being weirdos while your working, than ignore them. their just boys, they wont hurt you. or you could tell them to back off, see what happens than.
but for stress releavers, i just hang out in a place where i feel most confortable, for me thats my room. and i either hang out w/ my friends or listen to music. or i write. ive filled 3 notebooks with writing, for me its a way to get stress out. and no one can read it and no one will get mad or anythin for the things i say in it. but thats just how i deal with stress. maybe it will help you too. and if ur not a big writter, than listen to music to calm yourself down. or watch tv or something. but it mite be helpful not to think about the problems that your hven all day. cause it makes it worse, atleast for me.
i hope this helped
:)
I try to deal with stress by thinking of other things or doing things that take my mind temporarily away from the stressful situation. If I were in your situation though, I might have to look for another job.
