Identify the causes of your stress. Before you can move forward, you need to be able to identify the causes of your stress. Take some time to be alone, get out a notepad, and list all of the things that are making you stressed. Once you have a better sense of what is causing your pain, you can begin to make changes that will improve your life.
First, look for root causes of your stress. You may think you're stressed because of your low salary, but the real root cause may be that you don't like your job and don't know what career path to pursue in your life.
Take a look at your relationships. Are the relationships in your life helping you be a better person and to cope with problems, or causing more harm than good?
See if you're stressed because of situation or if you're in a permanent state of stress. If you're stressed because you can't stand your roommates, then it's different from always being in a vague stressed state from morning until night.
If it helps, write down your thoughts in a journal. See if this helps you identify any of the causes of your stress.
