i know of a simple yet effective meditation style called Vipassana. you can read all about it in this online .pdf. It might take you a few days to read the 100 page book (big print) but it is worth it if you want a stress relief tool to carry for your whole life.

if you want a quick fix, use drugs cause that is what they give you...
if you want a lasting and effective tool to carry with you always, try Vipassana...

good luck with whatever you decide...
