I hear our wives complain that we men come home and either sit in front of the TV or go onto the computer and play games.

It dawned on me, being all stressed out, not sure what to do to fix the problems.

I toss and turn in my head, that I realize that I've thought how to make this mental pain go away.

For me, alcohol is not the answer, but sitting in front of the TV or computer is the next best thing than to take a risk and get involved with the wife or kids and blow up.

Anyone have some sure tips in relieving the mental stress?

I know beer and pills aren't good enough.

I know many many people who, are goog people but unfortunately have a bad reputation socially as a bad husband and person because they are affected by stress. I myself suffered for years and years. Today I am the man I always wanted to be, a loving caring moderate and happy person who rarely stresses despite owning two small business. The answer is simple, don't talk to us, talk to an expert or two or three untill you get it right. It took me 3 years to find the right help, do not tell doctors how you feel, you will never get it all out before you out the door with a prescription. Write it down, write down everything that hails you, and I mean everything and DON'T KNOCK PILLS it could be a seretonin or other physico physical chemical disorder, who knows, I swear by my pills and so do diabetics and cardio patients so whats the difference, hey! HAPPINESS

I don't think you understood my question, though I appreciate your response.

We have to interract with other people besides our family. It is required of us in the work place. Sometimes, bosses and coworkers can make life miserable, and finding a way to improve the situation can be very difficult. Having friends you can talk to at work can be very helpful, but when your new on the job, these people may not be willing to stick their neck out for a newbee. Moving to a new state, I went through 5 jobs in 4 years. I stood behing my principle, and because of there lack of knowledge, I was seen as the bad guy. THings were revealed after wards that a few did come forward and in there own way apologize, like the big bos, but it didn't do much for my stress and loss of income because of it. At times, I feared losing the house and not able to pay bills. At times I tried to talk to my wife, but it was apparent she could not handle the depth of the problem so I backed off in talking to her.

I have spent, I beieve, quality time with my kids, which I feel was more important then the wife. There were a few times I wished I had included a little more knowledge but an event (one that I keep thinking of) that had happen to my youngest son, that he was embarassed about, I feel I could have warned him and didn't. I didn't think he was at the age he would have needed to be concerned. When I came home, I always greeted my kids with hugs. Even had the whole family perform group hugs. One day at a school event, my youngest saw a best friend and ran up to give him a hug. The kid freaked out. The kids mom smiled, but my son was floored by his friends response. My oldest saw was affected to. I could no longer get as many hugs that once once did. I was bummed, because I couldn't talk to him and reverse what he went through.
