Hi everyone!
It's normal to feel stressed from time to time, but when stress becomes overwhelming and persistent, it can be very damaging to both mental and physical health.
I came across a recent article that lists some stress-management apps that you can download on your mobile. Have you tried any that you can recommend?
I also read that simple tasks can also play a part in stress management, especially with the type of stress that hasn’t yet formed into something overwhelming. Things that you can do in your day-to-day life such as while doing the dishes. This article lists some surprising ways to reduce stress: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/changepower/201602/11-easy-and-unexpected-ways-reduce-stress
Most of us have probably felt stressed at some point, especially when in working life or studying. It would be great to hear from the community what normally works for you, if you’ve tried any stress-management apps on your mobile device, and also if you have any other tips to share that you have tried and found helpful?

Upon reflection, @Cleoriff, perhaps best not to wear our emotions on our sleeve... where's the beauty in growling loudly at soeone when they dare suggest how that particular outfit makes your bum look big, or that particular dress shirt looks needs to be a size or two larger...

@ComaChameleon Good to hear I inspired you with the wool and crafts 
I find it very good as well to keep busy and distract my mind from the source of stress, whether it's by going for a walk, watching some shows, cooking, ... When that's not possible a few deep breaths can go a long way as @Anonymous said!
