what to do when you're stressed to the max

my good friend has been extremely stressed out lately - typical result of too much work and too little time. i tried to help her out today but not sure how successful i was. when i get stressed out, i have to pull back mentally and shake it off. it sounds easy but it's not. i have to keep telling myself that i can't make everyone happy and i can only do so much. then i run away.

but, seriously, i don't know how people manage to squeeze so much stuff in a 24 hour day. i've been reading these creative and clever blogs where they work full-time jobs, raise families, have amazing hobbies and still manage to eat and sleep. do they live in a time warp where time is slowed down? maybe they have superpowers? what is their secret? in the meantime, gotta go - america's next top model is on right now.
