I don't eat when I'm stressed out or depressed.. She can't really help.
Prayer, sex, encouragement, or something fun
My answer cont'd: my partner can help me with venting by being present (which he's great at), and supporting me by being on my side. He can help me when I tune out by allowing me space to be away from reality unless I'm gone for too long (more than a week). Then, he can talk me through it (which he's great at). I just need him to be on my side a little more...it's me and him against the world;)
I tend to go quiet if really stressed out. But when I am stressed like that she help me to talk the issue out and to come up with an action plan which helps me sort things out and move forward.
I try to talk my stress through as burying stuff has negative impact on my health: migraines and anger issues
I don't really get stressed, but when I do, he has this way of putting things into perspective which makes me relax. Also - just seeing his face makes me forget about my stress instantly. :)
I don't deal with it well. It tends to affect me physically too because it drains me. I can't sleep, get sick, headaches etc. I think he deals with it well, he barely seems stressed, don't think I could really help him.
First I go off by myself and sort though my feelings and then I talk to my husband . I like it when he listens,gives support and loves on me.
Not very well.. Internalizing i realize only builds up a storm.. so i just let it be and snap at the least provocation.. My partner could help be being there (not just around but involved), showing some sensitivity and not snap back but hug and comfort. I need to feel he is in charge and will take care of me.
This has been a big issue for us lately. When I get stressed, I require extra TLC to starve my fears. It helps me to do something active and keep my hands busy. ;)
Awwww. .mhmmmm... bailemos! :D Perdon por no ayudarte ... como puedo hacerlo mejor? :D
I sleep.
He can just let me sleep. Cuddle me.

When I'm stressed I get really irritated and I break down. To handle my stressful situations I try to calm down then think of the best possible out come. My partner can help me by just being there and letting me know I have him on my team...oh and also more SEX :-)
Running is good.
Then talking the problem through and devising a plan to attack and deal with it together;
implementing the plan and taking it to completion

I think I am good under stress but I am not so sure now. I am now trying to work out more to handle it. My hubby is always there for me, supportive, with great advice. I need him to listen, support me and help me be strong.
