Stress is a bitch, the faster you eliminate it from your life the happier you will be, but you have to learn to deal with it, since it is part of life and it will happen to you more than once that stress will appear in your life and you will have to face it, unfortunately it is like that, just like depression and anxiety, it is part of life, so the more you learn to endure it and tolerate it the better it will go for you, the better you will be.

Stress is awful but we all go through it in different ways in our lives, and it is never easy to deal with at all. Any form of stress can cause you to want to shut off, not want to talk to anyone and just want to be by yourself, and whilst that is fine sometimes, it is not a permanent solution, and you do need to look at eliminating the stress that is causing you to want to be alone.

I try to handle stress by stepping back before it spills over into my relationships. Exercise, quiet time, and being honest about my feelings help a lot.
