How do you de-stress?

music helps , going the gym . depends what kind of day you've had alcohol & other de stress options are further down the list .

 

Hot baths, hot tea, exercise, curling up in bed with my cats and a good book and classical music.

I don't unfortunately. In past months I dealt with it by cutting and it didn't stop for a long time, even though things became worse. I listen to music I like, maybe watch a film but it doesn't always help.

 

I listen to music, dance and write songs

 

Usually a nice meal is relaxing. Or maybe a joint. Sometimes both. Music helps too.

 

Classical music (both writing it and listening to it), playing video games, taking walks outside.

 

Food/the internet.

 

Taking a deep breath.

 

I will mostly listen to music or play video games.

 

Take photos, go on a journey, listen to music, there's numerous ways I de-stress. Some work better than others, I.e. hobbies - taking photos

 

I hate to admit it, but if it wasn't for Family Guy and American Dad, I don't know what I'd do. Watching any kind of sitcoms help me de-stress at the end of the day. :icon_wink

 

Nah, that's pretty cool , Family Guy's hilarious. I like watching the Simpsons, makes me giggle and cheers me up when I've had a bad day

 

Im not trying to be crude but masturbation helps ALOT

 

When I'm stress, I don't even feel like masturbating :lol:

For me, taking a hot bath is No.1 but living in a flat, the taps run too weak so I don't bother.

Smoking, eating, and sleeping.

Or if I had a boyfriend, i'll make him give me a massage

 

This used to be my destress ritual until it started giving me uncontrollable anxiety. Now I usually take a shower, go for a run, or walk. If it's really bad I drink some kava infusions, or kratom.

 

Basically this and for me yoga also

 

Physical activity helps. Sexual activities, with someone or alone. Running, dancing, etc. Listening to music, google searching various things (yeah, I actually do that). Resting. Meditation with calming music on.

Those are just a few things I do.

 

drawing normally helps to ease my stress. If i'm in a bad mood I normally like to get up and dance to make myself feel better.
