Stress forum

Welcome to the stress forum where fellow sufferers can meet to discuss ways to reduce stress and anxiety levels. How did the paleo stress management courses improve your condition or are there other ways that should be considered? What is working and what is not. Let’s join up to combat what is called the health epidemic of the 21st century by the World Health Organization: Stress!

Important ! although it may be tempting to share the causes of your elevated stress and anxiety levels it is not necessary to get help from others to help manage them. The empathy of others may elevate their levels of stress and anxiety. Please take this into account when you engage in this forum. Before posting make sure you have read and understood the forum rules.
