Stress can be a funny thing and we all deal with it in different ways. The way I deal with mine sometimes is I like to create an invisible fence around myself in my mind and block everyone and everything out. But no one can get passed this fence no matter how hard they try to! I guess you could call it a type of meditation like counting sheep at bedtime!
Some of us are 'airers' and like to get everything off our chest whether it be to the person who has caused the stress or to our friends and family to have a bit of a rant to make ourselves feel better. Personally I always feel a lot calmer once I have spoken with someone else because decent people will tell you if you are in the right or wrong. We can't always be right in life can we and sometimes we need others to see it from our point of view when no one else won't.
Others suffer in silence you might say and ignore everything for a while and try to be strong until it builds up that much you burst into a river of tears to anyone who will listen! I have a friend like this who has given their postman more for his ears to hear than the flipping of letter boxes in the morning!
But why do we do it? I guess we are looking for approval that we are in the right? If someone agrees with us it eases the stress level a little, but then it could go in the opposite direction too with "Well so and so said I was right so .."
Is there really a right way of dealing with stress? I guess we have to find that invisible fence in our own way.
How do you deal with yours?

I stopped over from "A Little Girl Talk" and I am glad to have read your post. But there is no way around it, since we all have stresses. It's not so much the stress but how we deal with it.
We are too blessed to be stressed.
I talk and talk and talk and talk to my sisters. Ranting seems to help me with my stress. Take care buddy! Haven't seen you on messenger for a little bit.
