What activities can I do to minimize my high levels of stress/anxiety?

[Anonymous]

I worry about everything I minimized it but it came back to the severity of what it was before how do you? I live with a crack head and he puts his paranoia and anxiety on me. I would move out but I am bipolar and I do not know how to save $ but I quit smoking because he is refusing to move out! Or go stay somewhere else to allow me to get what I need done! But anyhow I have been through a lot last year and all of this year he was kicking the shit out of me and I am delayed emotionally because of his emotional abuse. The tad bit of self esteem/sanity I was preserving is completely G-O-N-E. I love my mother but I hate his guts. And on top of it he wants me to consider his non exist feelings when he doesn't consider mine EVER! He still puts me down so I kick him. I don't want to live here anymore fucking more I had ENOUGH. If I did not go on my mood stabilizers I would have did everyone a favour no one would care anyways. Plus I am still hurt my family is not accepting my diagnosis of bipolar disorder. And what do they do to help me get away from that crack head fuck all. I am sick of it!!! It is taking forever to get into the program ugggh.

Sorry for the anger but I am beyond frustrated. What activities would help with the anxiety levels? He is not an easy person to live with or deal with!!!

Well first I would talk to a counselor to get help with your disorder, and start saving money in the bank. Put some in a savings bond for the future and put some in a savings account and don't touch the account until you have enough to move out, and use the leftover money for only necessities like food. Seriously, you need to move out. Can't you stay with a friend or something for a while? Or get a really tiny apartment for one person? The best stress relievers are to write. Just take a pen and paper and just let whatever comes to mind flow out of you completely. Then take music and blare it and scream and dance to it at the top of your lungs. Then go out and have some fun, not dangerous drug doing fun, but just a night dancing with friends. Running is a huge stress reliever, you just run and keep running and forget all your problems and turn your headphones all the way up and just run on on and on. Then after your run do some pilates. I like to throw things when I'm mad cause I'm a softball player so throwing things really helps. Exercise is a great stress reliever

I always run, swim, do yoga and/or palates.
