Sip green tea Swap your standard cup of Joe for green tea, which offers a much-needed caffeine boost (phew), but won't give you the jitters, while also working as an anti-inflammatory to reduce any tension or anxiety. Studies show that two cups a day may reduce your risk of certain cancers, too. Iced or hot, this tea is super-soothing and, potentially, slimming as well.

My mom told me to keep a jar of peanut butter handy and to eat a tablespoon when I feel anxiety brewing. It really works.

I prefer either tea or coffee when I am stressed out. I just sit all alone. Don't feel like talking to anybody..

yes to green tea! It is just so nice to sit back & de-stress with a cup of the stuff! (Also helps with weight loss too!) And avocado is a good tip, some good suggestions here, exams in 3 months time, must remember to start trying these out!
