The first thing we would advise when dealing with stress is look at your life and you lifestyle, what is causing the stress: can it be solved by having a discussion, is something making you unhappy.

Secondly, talk to people: the more you experience something on your own the more you feel you have to deal with it on your own. When you keep something a secret that itself causes more stress!!!
