What do you do to relieve stress?

Ranny · 02-04-2008

K!

Everyone has stress.
stress [stress]
noun (plural stress·es)
1. strain felt by somebody: mental, emotional, or physical strain caused, e.g. by anxiety or overwork. It may cause such symptoms as raised blood pressure or depression.
Amirite?
But what do you do to deal with it?

I usually either draw or listen to music. Sometimes if I'm really stressed I'll just forget what I was stressed about and take that "fuck it all" attitude up.

Although with a combination of stress and lack of sleep I become very snippy. =/

I'm worried what Amero will put in here. >_>

As for me, it's either music or a shooter game. somethin' where you can just take your rage out on 12 year olds who don't have a clue what to do. >_>

I ... hrrm ... I take it out on Pyro. >=D lol

Seriously, though ... if I'm really stressed, I'll talk. Or sit and cry or something ... I cry a lot. >_<

Or ... I'll get randomly pissed off and throw my phone, then regret it afterwards, and cry about it.

That might just be recently, though. I've had to cry to deal with a lot of things, but in general, I find it helps me to sit and talk about what the problem is, analyse the cause of stress like, then try and figure out how I can reduce it.

Failing that, I blame my GCSEs and count down the days 'til they're over. >_>

Ranny being snippy sounds ADORABLE. (But it probably isn't, but it sounds like it would be :D)

I ride my stationary bike in the basement, and if I'm really mad I box shadows. :D
Or I just sleep it off. (That's why nothing I do ever gets done.)

EDIT: Lol, Pyro. I ALSO MAAAAASSSSSTTTTUUUUURRRRBAAAA- Kick babies.

Depends on the kind of stress. Usually I just listen to "My December" or "Given Up". Both by Linkin Park.

If it's the more violent type, I just listen to a faster song and bottle it up inside. That's really not good for ya but the simple fact is, I don't have many options. I find punching the couch a few times is nice.

I also bitch to LM and he understands enough to simply listen. He does the same to me too so...

Ideally, I'd either draw, play Guitar Hero, listen to music, or chill and let my imagination run wild.

**Zer0** · 02-04-2008

Watch Television

Super Cool · 02-04-2008

I just play a video game or go on the internet.

Blackmasta · 02-04-2008

I'm never stressed, according to that definition.

**Inuyasha16** · 02-05-2008

I roll up a doob. makes for a good time, no stress for me.

Pyro Bastard · 02-05-2008

I'm actually surprised a perverted joke hasn't been made yet. >_>

Ranny · 02-05-2008

Amero alread--

Kei · 02-05-2008

I lol.

Engel · 02-05-2008

Play guitar, drink, listen to music, watch a dvd. That's my best de-stressers... ... well ones that can be elaborated on anyway >_>

OnlyCarnage · 02-05-2008

A session at the gym, a run on the beach, chatting to a mate...

Good stress relief.
