How you deal with the Stress and Anxiety?

My advice: automate your trading! You can then use the time for better things, like raising capital etc. I've done it and I don't even need to read financial news anymore.
 
May be, look for a good 6 months of volunteering overseas.
Chose a sunny country, and may be look to volunteers
with very old aged people, so that you can get clear
about what you want ( and do not want )
for the rest of your life.

Going though a divorce is not helping the matter also..

I went from a 5 bedroom home to a 2 bedroom apt
and now I'm living alone too....


Thanks for the tips guys, let's see what the doctor says

Guess I need to get a dog:D to keep me company

I know this is off topic and a little insensitive, but can you write about what happened in your divorce and why did it happened and how are things right now? I'm interested in this subject especially with traders.

someone dared to ask. But then if bat1 is willing to share so as to educate all of us, we'd be thankful.

Why the volunteering suggestion in a sunny country, working with old people?

- as he is now old, he will develop fear of aging and dying. And this will basically condition quasi all his decisions and lead to many bad long-term choices. Working with old people will remove this conditionning/programming , and give him more free choices.
- he has no friends : volunteering will put him in contacts with a lot of people , and allow him to just relax and see that some people can be friendly just because they like other people
- he seems to have low self-esteem ( very depriaciating comments as fat and lazy) , so the doing good for 6 months will remove a lot of this
- the sunny country : obvious. the more sun, the better moods, ... and very likely to slim a lot as well.

Now this is free advice on a website.

Lift weights 5-6 times a week. Release some endorphins.

that's too much..2-3..as for releasing endorphins-how about sunbathing? i love to take a short 15-20 min nap outside on the middle of the day :p
i think i'm getting there-

Several cases of tanning addiction have been reported. Though the mechanism by which tanning addiction occurs is unknown, some evidence indicates that the release of endorphins during the tanning process causes the pleasurable effects that underly the addiction. Because the pleasurable feelings derived from tanning are caused by endorphin release, they are similar to those experienced during a runner's high.

Im sure this is something that all traders have to deal with. So i guess i would say, take it in stride, dont over think too much, i see there have been good suggestions, even doing a little bit of this helps. i normally go to the local Y and play some afternoon basketball about 3 times a week, and this seems to help a lot. I figured, if i can put my body through the rigors of workouts, then when it comes to trading, the stress on my body wont really affect me much. But then again, i have always been into working out. And that includes weigh lifting.
 
I am still trying to face this problem of stress. When I am in stress I don't know what I should do now. Now I have started to think in such situation that this time will be passed. So it is working a bit now.
