Dealing with stress

Hong Kong, has been shell-shocked by a technical recession. How are they coping? CNN's Eunice Yoon reports.

“Free hugs, come on”

When you are feeling down, it's good to find comfort in your friend, or perhaps even a stranger. This group in Hong Kong is giving out hugs to help people in this financial capital feel better during the global economic crisis.

People needs care, and love, and we really want to set share our love and care.

Hong Kong is already a stressed-out fast-paced city. But now this place like New York and London is grappling with the worldwide credit crunch, and its economy is in a technical recession.

People are getting to a point of feeling quite anxious.

The biggest source of their anxiety, job security.

People having difficult in falling asleep, or they may find themselves even at work, they are unable to concentrate, they would talk about within the company this tension, they feel the other departments, other team may come and steal their clients.

Emotions are only running high in the office, in Hong Kong, hundreds took to the streets, after losing a chock of their savings in bonds of the now bankrupt of US investment firm Lemon Brothers. Social services organizations like Carritars are reaching out to those suffering. A group recently set up a government-funded counseling hotline, and in the first month received over a thousand calls.

They call because they don't know what to do next after losing their savings. They find it really difficult to accept such a harsh reality and change the way of living.

So what are the best ways to manage stress in these uncertain times? Exercise, lay off the alcohol, get some rest, and try not to play too many mind games with yourself.

They would try to guess, guess the situation, looking at the, you know, the supervisor, you know, having a meeting with a couple of people or thinking “oh, my God”. You know, it is one that, to, delivering the bad news, or its next one would be me, importantly it’s to slow down.

And spend time with family, or maybe some new-found friends. Even if that too, might give you a little bit of stress.

“Free hug”

香港受到技术性经济衰退的剧烈冲击，他们是怎样处理的呢？CNN's记者Eunice Yoon报道。

“免费的拥抱，快来呀。”

当你感觉到精神低落的时候，从朋友甚至是陌生人那里找到安慰是很好的方法。香港的这群人正在送出拥抱，以帮助这个金融中心处在全球经济危机中的人们。

人们需要关怀，需要爱，我们想做的就是分享我们的爱和关怀。

香港已经是一个高节奏高压力的城市。但是这个地方向纽约和伦敦一样受到了全球次贷危机的影响，经济也处于技术性萧条期。

人们非常忧虑。

投资霍曼兄弟公司使得他们损失了大部分储蓄之后，人们感觉很难入睡，即使在工作的时候，也无法集中精力，Carritars这样的社会服务组织伸出援手，帮助人们处理这个问题。该组织最近成立了一个政府出资的顾问服务人先，第一个月就有1000多个来电。

他们来电是因为失去储蓄之后他们不知道接下来应该怎么办。他们发现要接受这个残酷的现实，改变生活方式非常困难。

那么在这个不稳定的时期处理压力的最好的方式是什么呢？运动，戒酒，休息，脑子里不要想太多东西。

他们会试图猜测，猜测目前的形势，关注领导，和一些人聚会，想着“哦，天哪”。你知道，这是传播坏消息的途径，下一个可能就是我。

多和家人在一起，或者可以结交些新朋友。即使那样也会给你带来一点压力。

“免费的拥抱。”
