Stress
Almost everyone suffers from time to time from stress - whether it's worrying over exams, looking for a job, coping with a new baby, or looking after a growing family. The symptoms may be constant fatigue, and lack of interest in one's appearance. The family may seem all work and no fun, and you find yourself nursing grudges against friends and the world in general.
How can you help yourself relieve this sense of stress without resorting to pills and alcohol?
Put your questions to Dr Alexander Gunn. director of the University Health Service at Reading, and Mrs Diana Lam plugh, coauthor of a book on Stress and Overstress and teacher of Slimnastics.
In the chair Judith Chalmers Produced by the Woman's Hour Unit

The tail of Singapore in 1942 was the greatest defeat the British Empire ever sustained. It was also the most shameful in that it was inflicted by a despised and underestimated Japanese -task force.
Many questions remain to be answered. Was it really the result of the total complacency of the British residents? Were Churchill and his Cabinet really unaware that the fortress's main guns pointed the wrong way? Why was the jungle impenetrable only to our side?
These and other questions are examined in Peter Hunt 's programme. using a good deal of unpublished material.
