im looking fro ways to reduce stress i get stressed over little things been reading my bible more and prayingand it is hellping but i need to talk to others to i dont have a strong support in the friends area trust issue that im working on i have to rember not everyone is out to hurt me there are some good people out there thats all for now

The Scripture which comes to mind is this:
Philippians 4:6-7
Have no anxiety at all, but in everythings by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests to God. And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

I really need this group!

In the past year my uncle died of lung cancer. My cousin his son died in days of finding he had pancreatic cancer. I was my Dads caretaker for months before he died in April of 2011. Then another cousin died in the ER in her early 50's. Then I found out a month later my best friend my ex husband who moved in with me after 15 years apart has stage 4 bladder cancer at 48 years old.
I am stresssed!!!
I am a caretaker again looking to find support and balance in my own life.

I am new to the group.... and yes I worry all of the time. It is as if there is a co-dependent relationship there, nonetheless I worry. I am looking for tips to live in the present instead of worrying about things all of the time. I have written a journal in the past and it worked but of course stopped that. I feel isolated, and don't have many friends due to abusive childhood and inability to trust people. We just moved too... hoping for a new start~ Lady Gaga's Just Dance just came on.... lol. Maybe I will do that with the baby!

Does anyone have any tips for stressing less? I mean in the end it doesn't change anything except the amount of energy we have to give to others less positive energy for negative.
