Possible signs of stress:

Constipation or diarrhea
Depression
Fatigue
Headaches
High blood pressure
Insomnia
Problems with relationships
Shortness of breath
Stiff neck
Upset stomach
Weight gain or loss
Signs and symptoms I have so far, diarrhoea, upset stomach, headache, fatigue, stiff neck, back pain, anxiety. I'm definitely under stress >< I'm depressed that i can't finish my work and can't study for my prelims
Tips for dealing with stress:
Don't worry about things you can't control, like the weather.
Prepare to the best of your ability for events you know may be stressful, like a job interview.
Try to look at change as a positive challenge, not a threat.
Work to resolve conflicts with other people.
Ask for help from friends, family or professionals.
Set realistic goals at home and at work.
Exercise on a regular basis.
Eat well-balanced meals and get enough sleep.
Meditate.
Get away from your daily stresses with group sports, social events and hobbies.
Flaws with these tips: it doesn't include throwing away ur homework or boycotting the school. and how the heck are we supposed to get away from our daily stresses where there ain't even TIME?
I'm on the verge of suing the school for depriving me of my sleep, causing mental torture over essays, and exerting too much stress and pressure on my teeny-weeny brain. if i fall ill now, i wun be surprised. my ears are buzzing again. ><
