Prone to Stress; how to get rid of it?

Here I am. A momentous mark in my life.
THE ROOSTER YEAR!!! Actually the Chinese New Year merely means nothing to me but an expensive dinner (with Peking duck and steamed sea bass, which by the way were mighty delicious). Money well spent…. The portion was not huge though. And despite my body size, I eat. Not the garden salad kind of lady at all. I’m more of the all you can eat Brazilian food kind of lady.
Anyway, I got side tracked.
Going back to the momentous mark in my life:
I passed my first week of my job. And I think I did alright. I love the people and I love the job. Couldn’t ask for more.
Like the slogan of the company: I’m lovin’ it (yeah, you know what it is… ), I’m loving working there.
Now, at this ‘momentous’ mark of my life, how come I am still looking for something else? I still got -what Wilson said- warts and all, all over the place. Actually, I do feel like I under a lot of stress & that I’m very very prone to stress, and up to now, at this very second, I don’t know how to get rid of it.
My boyfriend suggested that I pick yoga back. But at $ 200 for 8 (or 10?) classes, I rather buy me an XBOX. Or like my mom’s idea that I should move to a country, closer to home, so she can drop by anytime & spend the weekend cooking me all the yummy dishes. That idea made me cringe. Not the idea of my mom dropping by, but rather about the idea to move & adapt to a whole new other culture.
Yeah, right, Uh-huh, that would surely trigger suicidal thoughts on a person (like me) who at the very moment is very prone to stess, or worse, depression.
So,... prone to stress (or depression, maybe) ... how to get rid of it?
Any idea?
Even trying to find an idea sounds stressful right now.
Help me out here, will ya?
I am worried. I'm dead serious. When I saw some clearance / sale signs last week and I was not interested, then I knew... I'm in deep poop.

He...he...he..., I agree with what dimcorner said, and the additional benefit to keep your shape? But seriously, excercise is one of the way to relief stress.

One other things is... take a holiday, a real holiday. Just went back from Bali, and somehow, I can handle task that I thought I would never make it.

Sounds like you need the Wilson treatment, dear, ... I can't comment on Valentine... don't have much experience with one..... BTW, can I ask why you're stressed out? can't seem to see what you're stressed about, unless you're as pissed about your work as I am.... :-( BTW : just bought and am listening to Tony Bennett/ Bill Evans duet...IMHO one of the best Tony Bennett album ever... maybe you can relax to Tony Bennett instead.... :-)

That's the thing...
I don't know... my job is fine. I enjoy it. Maybe it's just new-job-adaptation kind of thing...
I hope. Cause if not, then I better use my health insurance & go see a doctor.

Dear Bluecactus,

It's not a job related stress.... it's something else... Kindly study..... :-) extreme homesickness could be the cause.. advise that you come home for the summer hols and stuff yourself silly on those sinful Aseng Noodles....:-) and BTW, if you ever make good on coming home, let me know if you're ever in the area.....
