    Managing Emotions and Coping with Stress

    The first was when I was so mad at someone who betrayed me for a position in
    an organization in FCU. Second, I think, was someone took advantage of my sadness
    just to have his revenge on me. The last one was when I had this puppy to love to some
    who can’t reciprocate my feelings for him. It was difficult, yes, but I’ve always believed in
    the saying “Experience is the best teacher”—because you learn, you grow, and you
    improve to be a better version of yourself.

    Yes, in a way that it’s not healthy for both of you anymore. Way back two (2)
    years ago, I fell in love with my best friend named “Nico” during that time, I could feel
    nothing but “kilig”. However, the time came where he noticed that I have a thing for him
    and stay away from me. I remember crying the whole night and asking why—and it also
    affected my studies, my relationship with my parents, and as well my friendship with that
    person. It was just so sad and painful but I’ve learned that you cannot force feelings.
    This is just a simple and plain puppy love but I tried to incorporate this into my own
    feelings and what I’ve experienced. There are so many evidence that even love can
    cause toxicity and problems to one’s self—I hope these will serve as a lesson for us to
    use love in the right way.

    I have to agree with Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago’s statement that “Stress


    is my best friend”. Over the years, I’ve tried to push myself to the limits or beyond the
    limits, and as I’ve pushed harder I’ve encountered too many stressors that cause me
    stress. I am blessed to have my support systems that I lean on and rant when I’m under
    stress. On top of my list are my mother and my family because they literally knew
    everything about me. The second one is my 11-year best friends, Ina and Janine, we’ve
    been together since we were in grade 2. The third is my McDo Family, they were my
    High School barkada, and even though we’re studying from different schools we make it
    a practice to have a video call two times a month. Fourth and last are my shs buddies
    (Trisha, Charles, Jason, and Earl) and issuemental family (Alex, Niezel, Michelle, and
    Jr). If it weren’t for these people, I probably broke down and gave up but I will always be
    grateful for them.

    I am a person who works under pressure because I feel that I am more


    productive when I am under pressure. However, when these pressure became
    stressors and cause us stress, it’s a totally different thing. If one cannot cope up with the
    stress that he is facing, he will have a tendency to break down and it will affect his
    mental aspect and capabilities. We should be able to learn to cope up and manage
    these stresses.

    Each and everyone has a different strategy or technique in managing our stress.
    Through the years, these are ones that worked for me: (1) Rant or voice out or stresses
    to the persons who understand and comfort you. According to an article published by
    Entrepreneur Asia Pacific, ranting is good and there’s nothing wrong with it as long as
    you do it properly—this makes ranting a possible way for managing stress; (2) Entertain
    yourself such like painting, shopping, or going for a short walk to free your mind from
    negativity; (3) Going out with your friends or have a night out because it’s good to have
    a good company when you are under stress.
