Stress

After a fight with someone, i usually crank up the volume on the music and play GTA San Andreas. Something about the mindless violence and rampant crime takes my mind off of the problems at present. I guess it lets me take out my anger and frustration on "people" that won't really get hurt, but maybe its setting me up for a life of crime hehe....(so if you see me running old ladies on the street, youll now know why)

Anyway, also talking to my friends is good, when Im more sad/emotional, or watching mindless television programs, specifically Friends and Scrubs (chosen because i know all the words to every episode i have on DVD which means i dont really have to focus to laugh at the jokes(I have all ten seasons of Friends, and 4/6 seasons of Scrubs (will soon be getting the other two)))

 

I like to listen to music too, or go for a drive in my car AND listen to music! I will call a friend, or log into EC to make me feel better.

In a weaker moment, I'll eat something that isn't all that good for me...

 

Music , Music and More Music it my main outlet. i dont like to let it out anyother way.

 

I bottle everything up. lol

I am taking yoga and it makes me... want to fall into a coma. lol

 

i never really get stressed. i just don't let things bother me. but surf stoke is a good drug for stress:icon_bigg

 

I punch walls.

 

To be honest, I often jerk off. Other than that, I watch TV or go see a movie. Or read but I find that reading is harder when you're wound up. Or I go swimming if I can.

And I do like talking things through with friends but sometimes I think I just talk too much about my problems, and occasional all it does is wind me right up again. So sometimes, initially, it's best for me to just try to avoid being "in" it, where "it" is whatever's stressing me out.

 

Well, of course, I do that too, but punching walls is quicker.

 

For you, maybe. I've always been precocious, though.

And really, jerking off does a hell of lot less damage to my hands than punching a wall would.

 

well when I'm stressed or angry or sad I usually listen to music and it has a way of calming me down

 

when i'm stressed i find the best thing is to just let your mind blank out either with music, tv, movies, internet, whatever works and then come back to it later with someone you trust.

 

My stress relief has got to be music and deep breathing. And of course there's nothing like a bit of ladylike language to vent that stress as well but I try to avoid that course of action!

 

I either run, listen to music or go on Xbox Live and go into matchmaking on Halo 2 or Gears of War and take my anger out by slaughtering who ever I get thrown into a game with

 

There's only so much kleenex I can personally afford to buy.

Then again, I now have a hole in my wall, so maybe I made the wrong choice.

 

I exercise. I'm an avid cyclist, so I either go for a long bike ride or a long walk. Usually by the time I'm done, I'm too worn out to expend any more energy on whatever was stressing me out.

 

Drink?

I wish I was kidding but is seems I drink the most the school terms that are the hardest. Last term (during the summer) was honestly hell on earth, and I drank more than any other four month period.

Ever since I got my marks back my urge to drink has drastically decreased. Now at most I might have a couple drinks on the weekend.

Other than that I like going for loooooong walks. At night, in the rain, whatever.
