I don't deal with stress well. It cause great anxiety anger and depression
She could be more present, more loving and patient. Don't take it personally. It's an illness

Just to sit silently with me, and listen if I feel like talking about what's stressing me.
Mi mayor stress es mi casa. Hago, hago y hago cosas y siempre algo sale mal. Entonces mi manera de desestresarme es saliéndome de mi casa. No se cómo me puede ayudar mi Alex.
I get mean. If I would let him help anything he does would help. He is all I need.
I run bike or swim it away. When she sees I'm stressed tell me to go for a run
Not well. I grow hives when I stress and then I can't sleep and I'm pretty bad about how I handle it. He could by listening to what I have to say and being helpful in figuring out how to make the situation less stressful. Instead of just always saying it'll all be ok and sounding like I am being annoying
I take a nap when I'm stressed. When he's stressed, I stay far away. He can't handle it well and takes it out on everything around him so it's best to keep distance
I deal with my stress in a few different ways. I like to keep myself busy, I play or listen to music, I play video games and relax, and I try to talk about what's stressing me ( even though I don't do that too often). The best way you can help deal with my stress is to join me in any of those activities or to help me keep my mind off of it. But honestly I wouldn't mind whoopin zombie ass with you any time lol
I bottle stress most of the time but when I do want to release it my partner can help me best by just listening.
Not good. Just be there for me with a soft voice
She could see it coming just by paying more attention to what's going on. The triggers are obvious it's mostly the same stuff she gets worked up about. The thing is she doesn't catch it when she easily can most of the time cause she zones out and doesn't see it coming. Then it becomes an issue between everyone.
I deal with stress by talking about it when I am ready to talk about it , and how my partner can help me is to really just listen to me.

By talking to him. He can talk his way through and eventually I'll be stress-free.
Communication. Its the only way.
I will yell or just close up and eventually burst. I hate feeling stressed. My partner could help by just being there and not adding to the stress.
