Advice

We often feel most stressed by things we cannot control or change.  Our reactions and ability to cope in any given situation will depend on many things - including the severity of the issue, how we are feeling mentally and physically and how much support we feel we have. 

It is often said that we can control our reaction to the situation, and sometimes a shift in our perspective can help; but at other times we need to draw on enormous strength, willpower and support to deal with stress in our lives.

Whatever the situation, help is available - whether the stress is in your personal or professional life.
