depends on the type of stress; work or personal. For work, I try redouble my focus and dig in till I get it. For personal stress, usually try to talk it out. she can help by listening and being there to talk
I handle stress by completely melting down. My partner can help by not using that opportunity to take jabs at me.
Want to do something to take my mind off the stress, like watching a movie. She can help by understanding and letting me work it out internally. Offer of support and encouragement would be good.
I don't deal with it too well. I let it be known and maybe too much. She helps me with it as much as she can. I try not to let it out too much, because it stresses her out. Sometimes I just need to know she is there. she does that as well as she can.
by working out until I am a complete frazzle and then sliding into a multi-year depression.
When I get stressed out- a long hug really helps along with my partner offering if they can help- or taking it soon themselves to do something small that I don't have to do- such as make breakfast or offer to make or take me to dinner- also anything they can do for themselves that I do for them such as get a taxi in to work. A dream would be for them to pour me a glass of wine and rub my feet, or get me into a bath with a glass of wine sweetly and sit with me for a min while it fills up.
I deal with it myself. It's better if no one tries to help me through it cause it always turns around and drags them into it too. That's never good
Yoga and AT. He knows how to help.
Talk, sleep, exercise, watch movies, read.
My partner can talk with me about it. Train with me or encourage me to train. Rub my head. Make food. Help with a task. Not give me any other tasks. Love me. Give me space.

I usually brainstorm a possible solution. I guess by either understanding my frustrations or just leaving me to figure it out.
Not very well, and my partner should stay away and stop causing any further stress. Constant phone calls only interrupt any solutions.
Within intent focus and drive. Stay out of the way.
I workout haha. So basically this means I bought a personal trainer and I go 6x a week. Lol

Put my nose to the grindstone and tackle items one at a time, while applying FIFO to it might cause things to fall, in the end things get done and you either make it or not, either way it's better than stressing about it and letting them all fall.
My Wife is supportive and just works through it with me, helping take the home side of the load off so i can get through work.
