I 've heard about the recent survey that found a third of us are living with extreme stress. Well, as the holiday is approaching, the shopping season kicks in, it's not going to get any easier. So we 've decided it's time to enlist some stress reducing help from Angela Burt Murray as the editor in-chief of Essence magazine and Dr. Gail Saltz Today contributorand contributing psychologist as well as biologist. Nice to have you here. Psychiatrist. Sorry about that. Good to have you. So this is a time of the year when all of us, I think, get so overloaded. And I know this is something that your readers have written in voraciously about, is not that right? Absolutely, absolutely, one of the things they 're telling me about is as they 're coming down to the end of the year, they 're feel ng a lot of pressure with work deadlines, financial pressure, family obligation, and of course, shopping for the holiday. Yeah, and Gail, I mean, speaking of the holidays, how does the stress just escalate during this time of the year? The bottom line is women still bear the burden for the holidays. They are still, you know, whether they are working or not working, or single, or whatever the case may be, they are the one to sort of, are the, you know, make the holiday, and they feel that was to keep up everything else that they 're doing during the year and not only make the holiday but make the Norman Rockwell, you know June Creeper sort( Right) of perfect holiday. And that includes, generally involving family and family adds a lot of stress too and a lot of time I think it's as you said women tend to bear the burden alone. You feel like I 've got to be the one who has to do it all alone. They have to make it all beautiful, they have to make it all delicious, they have to meet their children's expectation, and they have to manage all those family relationships.
