A. RELAX. What ever you did know you tried your best. You should've tried as hard as you could during the exam and the interview. If all goes well then its your luck. If its not then its not the end of the world. You'll always get anothre chance as long as you try and never give up.

How do I stop stress from making me physically ill?
Q. I have found that when I get stressed, nervous, worried, tense, etc I start to get physically sick. Usually my stomach is what gets upset the most. This happens for all kinds of stress including: tests, relationship fights, big vacations, moving away from home, anything. I need to get over this, sometimes I even stress about getting sick from becoming stressed about becoming sick. Anyone have any ideas? This has been going on for years and I can't stand it anymore. yes anxiety is definitly apart of it.

A. Well you're saying it's stress, but is any of it anxiety? I know that alot of my "stress" is anxiety about things like you mentioned, tests, etc. and there are now alot of anti-anxiety medications you can get so that it won't cause the physical symptoms to exist or exist as badly as they are now. There are also many other things you can do to help you learn to deal with stress/anxiety so that it won't effect you as badly such as yoga, deep breathing, and anti-anxiety exercises. If you don't take care of this problem you will likely end up with stomach ulcers from the stress so please talk to your doctor.

What processes occur in the body during a period of critical stress?
Q. Can someone who knows this stuff please inform me on the processes that occur in the body during a period of severe stress. I have heard things like: stress makes you gain weight, stress makes you lose muscle mass, stress causes increased blood sugar levels, stress causes the breakdown of protein in the body and increased fat storage. However, I am not exactly sure how many of these are true and am interested in finding out the real facts behind stress.

A. Stress slows down metabolism, causing all the fat and weight problems, and an increase of blood sugar occurs because your body is using up more energy. Stress decreases your immune system response, causing other problems. It also raises blood pressure.
