Yes but I am surprised so many resort to drink to cope. I have been through events which if I had followed friends advice and have a drink, I would be a raging alcoholic by now. :oops:

Must be a slow news day.

TBH during the last 1 or 2 years I have felt more financially secure than I have in the few years previous to that.

I've just finished paying for my car and have no intention of replacing it.

I'm healthier and fitter than I have been in around 10 years.

I like my job and it is secure at the moment and going very well.

I suppose that doesn't scare enough people to make it into the newspaper though.

More than eight out of 10 people said they are experiencing some kind of worry, consumer analysts Mintel found.........

'The fact that over half of us turns to our family and friends in times of trouble, compared to just 6 per cent who go to a professional, highlights the extent of the stigma attached to seeking professional help to deal with stress.'


The article is based around money worries and they wonder why people don't use professional help. :roll:

And on the whole, it is the fairer sex that is likely to be more stressed out, with more than one in 10 saying they had five or more worries, compared to just one in 14 men.

Ms Richmond said: ''Much of the lack of stress in men's lives may be owing to male bravado where admitting to being stressed might be perceived as a sign of weakness.

''Juggling so many aspects of their life could be responsible for the fact that women typically mention a greater number of stresses or worries compared to men.

"Many women take responsibility for the home, raising the children as well as going out to work and looking after ageing parents.''

Total, thorough-going, unmitigated [LIFTED]

The number of worries is not an indicator of stress.

And the second sentence is scientifically unforgivable - she argues that men have less real incidence of a medical condition because they refuse to admit they have it. If men are so much less stressed, why do they have higher rates of heart disease and, on average, die five years earlier?

Amateur hour bullsiht. Complete ass-gravy. Loose-stool-water of the worst kind

Tell me about it. If you listened to my missus you'd think we're about to be homeless, starving and destitute. :roll:
I mean I know our situation isn't good, but it's nowhere near as bad as it is for some people.
