One of the biggest ways one can prevent an episode from occurring is by eliminating the amount of stress in their life. For example if you have a stressful job maybe it would help if you found another job that is less stressful. You do not have to quit your job right away but if you search the want ads send out some resumes maybe you can find a job you love and one that is less stressful. Another, way to relieve stress is by not getting on yourself about making mistakes or not letting go of the past. Try to this and you see how much less stress you have in your life.
One of the biggest ways to relieve stress is by trying to pay off debts if you have them, everybody knows that having a large amount of debts brings along a lot of stress. Ways you can work at paying your debts is by saving more and spending less. The more you save can be the little extra that you pay to get your debts in check.
One huge source of stress can come from family relationships ways you can reduce your stress from relationships is by maybe spending less time with them, requesting a family member to become peacemaker or even a negotiator between whomever you have been arguing with or fighting with. One last way is suggesting group or family counseling to work out any problems or disagreement you may be having.
The main thing to remember is to deal with stress early on rather than letting it build up more and more. When you this you will help to reduce the chance of a stress-related episode from occurring.
Until next time stay active and safe!
