I'm in serious need of any methods anybody knows for reducing stress. This can be spiritual, medication, meditative, excercises, hobbies, whatever I don't care. My mental state is gradually getting worse and I'm now having more bad times than good.

I keep having these episodes where I'm convinced I have cancer of some part or another even though there's no reason to believe so. I have intense nightmares every night, I wake up in the morning with anxiety. I can't stop thinking about suicide even though I have no desire to do it and I won't. It's not like I'm considering it, I just can't stop thinking about what an easy release it would be. I keep fighting with my brother (who has aspergers, that can get really stressful believe me), and last night I had a huge blowup and punched a hole in the wall and swore a blue streak at my whole family for no reason. Every day I think about using some very bad drugs that I know I shouldn't just so I can feel numb and escape. And I'm hurting myself more and more because it brings really effective (but brief) relief to physical pain, and distracts from the emotional.

I can't go on anti-depressants because they'd conflict with my pain meds and cause siezure, possibly even death. That's not what I need anyway because this isn't due to chemical imblance, I've just had too much shit on my plate for too long with no resolution.

So if anybody knows any stress reduction methods please let me know here, thanks.
