Default What's something you do when you get stressed out

It can be an odd quirk or just a symptom of your stress.

I get nauseous when I get too stressed out and when I'm really angry or frustrated my right eyelid throbs; always the right one. Lol.

How about you?

This is kind of random lol.

And to think I should be studying biology.

I actually start out getting mad......and then I start getting depressed, because in order to calm down from the rage, I need to think about other things, and I end up thinking about stuff that just sort of gets me depressed

Default Re: What's something you do when you get stressed out

I'm grouchy, I get headaches and stomachaches and I feel drained so I want to go to sleep and be away from people. Sometimes I swear more often, or I stomp around. Other times I throw things. The most common thing is that I listen to loud music that is etiher supposed to calm me, or reflect how I feel.

I just smile like nothing is wrong while plotting on how I can fix the problem. To deal with stress I work. A lot actually. Though ceramics would be my outlet of choice. My house is chocked full of things I made my senior year of college. Focusing on something helps keep me centered.

I start doing really violent flipbooks on Post-It pads. I've always made violent flipbooks, but the most brutal ones are done when I'm angriest.

I go rollerblading without stopping literally for hours on end. It helps me clear my head and let it all go away.

I get serious and start doing everything very quickly, task after task. If there's nothing to do I will become anxious and start jittering about.

I have to be around other people. i cant be by myself or I think to much. Which is weird because I get in a bad mood where no one would probably want to be around me. Just sitting with another person puts me in a better mood. Im glad I have friends that are good at that

Default Re: What's something you do when you get stressed out

If its for something like a test i start studying a lot and start talking really fast.

If its because i'm so pissed i want to either scream at the top of my lungs or rip someones head off (not literally....ok maybe i'd beat the crap out of someone), i tend to focus on my breathing and calm myself. I distance myself from other people (so i don't get even angrier) until i relax. I also vent to myself when i'm alone. I don't like to bother people with my issues so i vent were people won't hear me talk shit.
