It's early tuesday evening and I'm sitting in a circle with 12 other people. For the first few minutes we talk, shimmering the surface of the pool of wounds.

This is a pastel and ink drawing I did and its what most people think of when we talk about being creative.Creativity can help in all walks of life.

Do you feel that life is a constant battle and that you feel angry all the time? Or are you unsure whether you have a problem or not?Anger is a universal emotion, along with fear, joy and sadness it is recognised by all cultures. It is part of our survival mechanism.

Feeling stressed is common in this fast moving world. Tell us about your experiences of stress and the things that have helped you.I've got a new puppy - a German Shepherd and she's stressing me at the moment. She's tearing round the house like a whirlwind, tearing up things and trying to rule the roost. It's hard not to get frustrated. We go for a walk by the river Trent and the lovely swans
