Controlled breathing technique. Sit upright, take a deep breathe in, hold for a few seconds, release it normally and effortlessly, all the while focusing only on your breathing and nothing else. Start by repeating these steps for 60 seconds, and increase it to 5, 10, 15 minutes, or however long you can manage it. The longer the duration, the better your anxiety relief.

It is natural to feel overwhelmed where there are several things simultaneously on your plate. The key is to NOT try to multitask in an effort to finish everything at once; instead, prioritize.

And do only ONE thing at a time, based on the priority of the moment. Keep your mind focused on that one thing for that moment, and then move on to the next task.

Being stressed is definitely a real reason to be irritable; it certainly makes you be angry, frustrated and on the edge most of the time.

But that is not to say taking it out on others all the time should be condoned. One needs to learn and practice how to handle anxiety in a more effective way.

It is actually a good idea to go ahead and cry if you need to. Expression is known to be one of the good ways to relieve stress, and crying is a form of expression.

Yeah, stress can cause weight loss. However, it can cause weight gain as well.

Any otherwise unexplainable, sudden weight gain or weight loss can be a sign of stress, especially if it is accompanied by other emotional symptoms (like say being irritable most of the time), or lifestyle changes (like change in your eating or socializing habits).

Social support provides you an outlet to vent it, and that helps reduce your stress hormone levels. Expressing it out is a frequently suggested anxiety technique, that works well a lot of times.

It is normal. Stress wreaks such a havoc on your mind that it is nothing unusual if you start to forget things because of it.

Complaining is a way of expression, and expression typically acts as a stress reliever.

Occasionally it may be ok, but complaining itself causes you to dwell negatively on the situation or person, and that is known to be one of the popular causes of stress.

So too much of complaining is definitely not going to do you any good.
