Coping with High Stress situations
I haven't posted here in ages but I have been super busy with work hope everyone is doing well.
So anyways lately at work my level of stress has gone right up, I had my easy going job then I got promoted to a supervisor position for two centers instead of my usual one. So I was hoping my fellow MSers could help me out with some strategies to combat stress issues. my workload and responsibility has increased dramatically and I'm not sure i'l be able to keep up with it.
Thanks in advance.

@brando , hmmm, strategies? Well, don't get stressed! But, seriously, you have to ask yourself whether this promotion is actually good for your health. There's no point in earning a bit extra, if your body won't allow you to enjoy it. You're aware of the problem, so keep the situation under review. There's a podcast here, regarding Managing Stress in MS, which might be useful :- http://eventcenter.commpartners.com/se/Meetings/Playback.aspx?meeting.id=718605
Hi @Brando. Can totally relate. I could go on with correct planning, avoid work over night, delegate when possible but I am guessing you already went through those. So in my case I tried Mindfulness. Now the key is finding in the agenda enough time to attend the sessions that will allow you afterwards to "do it by yourself". Then maybe those mindful moments will help you, as they help me, manage the daily stress. So...Mindfulness, give it a try :)
