Truck Depressed
Stress Relief Tips For Jobs Truck Drivers Do
Well here goes, when your are at the end of your work day and you just finished many long hours behind the wheel, there is nothing worse than feeling stressed out.
Here are a few tips so you can get relaxed. When your relaxed you can sleep better, and that will hopefully give you more energy the next day and reduce your overall stress levels.
The Tips:
1. Remember that today may just be a bad day and that tomorrow is going to be a new day. This can be helpful when you get agitated or when you feel like life has put a dark cloud over you for the day. If you remember that tomorrow will be a new day, this may let a few things that normally bother you take back seat to your new optimism.
2. Make an honest effort to do something nice for someone. If you can look back in your life and remember when you last did something nice for someone you will probably remember feeling a little proud of your gesture. So, do something nice like hold a door for someone of slow down and let someone in your lane. Doing these nice things will reduce your levels of stress.
3. Truck driving jobs can be especially stressful when your running late with a load. Try to improve your trip planning. Some things are going to be out of your control, but constantly finding ways to plan your trips more efficiently will take some of that stress away.
4. This might be a tough one for jobs truck drivers do , but eating healthy can certainly help to reduce stress and can even help prevent depression from setting in. Try some fresh fruit like an apple or banana. Another healthy alternative to that chili cheese dog is a granola bar. Stress relief should come from knowing you made a healthy food choice.
5. There is no better way to relieve stress than to get some exercise. When your on the road it may be very hard to go to jog a 5k but you could definitely do a few laps around your truck, or park farther away so you have to walk a little farther to get that next granola bar.
Stress relief is important for truck drivers. If not handled some drivers end their careers unnecessarily. If your truck jobs can be made less stress full with these tips then we have reached our goal. CDL driver jobs can be exciting and fulfilling. Many people believe if the stress were removed from job than truck drivers really would be on a paid vacation to drive across the country.

depressed and anxious after car accident 2 weeks ago? please help!?
Hi everyone,
Like 2 weeks ago, I was in a car accident in which my car was totaled; I was the driver and the passenger side was hit. The entire passenger door was destroyed, but luckily I had only seat belt bruises (which are still there, I have some hard long bumps on my abdomen) and nothing else happened.
But ever since then, I noticed that I have been very depressed, and very anxious and nervous when I leave work to go home (the accident happened when I was leaving work at 6am.) When I am doing anything, I keep seeing that my car is spinning and hearing the car being hit.
I'm also having crying spells and just getting very upset and I cry when I see any car insurance commercials, car crashes on TV or when I'm out with my husband that a car or a truck is approaching us.
Is there anything I can do to make this go away and I can get this out of my head? Am I overreacting?
Please help!
There is a quiz for the presence of P.T.S.D., via http://psychcentral.com Some of the symptoms include "flashbacks", hypervigilance, sleep disorders, especially nightmares, and just staring blankly. View the http://1-800-therapist.com/ & http://www.metanoia.org/choose/ websites, and Google:"therapists; EMDR; (your location)" or use the phone book, and/or various associations for psychiatrists and psychologists, to find the nearest one using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy). In EMDR, a therapist will ask you to revisit a traumatic event and remember the feelings, negative thoughts, or memories associated with it. While you are doing this, the therapist may hold up two fingers about eighteen inches from your face and move them from side to side. You may be asked to track the movement of the therapist’s fingers with your eyes. As you concentrate on the traumatic event during therapy, you are trying to bring its memory to life. The mental imagery you are able to conjure up during the therapy session is then processed, aided by your eye movements, facilitating the processing of painful memories, enabling some of the powerful emotional states involved to be discharged to some degree, and helping to achieve resolution and a state involving less painful emotions.
EMDR has 8 stages. Professional EMDR is always much preferable, and Opester, (who gives it a glowing recommendation) a therapist with more than 20 years experience, and a former contributor, here, stated that it was one of only two disorders which can be completely cured. Sometimes, a beta blocker, such as propranolol, or atenolol is administered prior to being asked to recount the traumatic event, reducing the emotional charge associated with it, as it is re-recorded in your memory (which has been shown to be plastic, at least to some extent, with many people). I suggest trying something milder, such as valerian, (some people get "valerian hangovers") or "Tension Tamer", or chamomile herbal tea (no milk, or cream!) from supermarket tea, vitamin, or health food aisles, at least at first, to see if sufficient, otherwise (SHORT TERM ONLY, as a risk minimisation strategy - potentially ADDICTIVE) a benzodiazapene, like Xanax. Check out medications first at: www.drugs.com and www.rxlist.com/ and http://crazymeds.us/ and www.askapatient.com/ If unable to afford it, or to locate one nearby, contact the county/local mental health agency: any therapy on offer may prove helpful, particularly if combined with appropriate medication. Contact your county/local mental health agency, and find out what help they can offer.
(U.S.A.) Try phoning 211, or 411, and Google: "clinics; mhmr; (your city); (your state)" Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is also recommended, and has been used successfully, with PTSD. Some people, however, may benefit more from psychotherapy, or counselling, at least until they are some way along the path to wellness, and feeling psychologically robust enough for the harsher CBT (a free E course in it, which can help reduce the time spent in therapy sessions, is at: http://moodgym.anu.edu.au/welcome ). Use a relaxation method daily, like http://www.drcoxconsulting.com/managing-stress.html or http://altmedicine.about.com/cs/mindbody/a/Meditation.htm or http://www.wikihow.com/Meditate or Tai Chi, Qi Gong, or yoga. Most people are suggestible, to some degree, so you could either seek professional hypnotherapy, or more alternatives along such lines are at http://your-mental-health.weebly.com/q.html Depression, & anxiety; see pages 1, b, & i.
