I have few natural coping skills to deal with stress. Lately, my stress is so bad that my normal routes aren't working. I'm trying not to have sex but only once or twice a week. I can't even focus to do anything I used to find enjoyable and relaxing. I'm trying to drink a few days a week, but it only helps during. I stopped swimming and am stuck in a cycle that walking or hiking doesn't appeal anymore. My bike no longer appeals. I feel annoyed and frustrated more than ever. I have gained weight and don't even care when I would have before. I can't play music, as I got rid of my piano last month and that might be one reason it seems like it's worsening. I've been resorting to things like more than 1 hot bath a day (I took 3 one day last weekend) and getting in my car and just driving around listening to music. I feel like I am going crazy at some points. It's like I can only focus on one long-term goal (which is months away from executing and completing) and I don't see any daily progress to it, I can't do much more to prepare than I already have. It isn't work stress, I handle that as I go and it's boring. My stress starts going through the roof as soon as I get home. Cooking used to be relaxing but now I just want to buy out or put something together quickly.
Other than all that how do you personally deal with stress? What are some methods I could try and might naturally go to?
Is it possible to be so stressed that you can't even focus long enough to do things that normally relieve your stress? How do I calm myself down and stop worrying so much?
