So how do you deal with stress?

[Mrs_Beastman]

looking for some suggestions....

[Magrittes Pipe]

1. The brown lady.

[Mizmoon]

2. I kill people, break stuff, scream and cry

and get hives.

And THAT'S after a decade of therapy!

[sniffa]

3. try beating your husband

:evilgrin:

[Mrs_Beastman]

24. he's not into that

:spank:

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

4. Video games.

I love them. When I'm playing a video game, all the things on my mind go away as I focus on what I'm doing.

[MissMillie]

5. I work out

I've also been known to pray from time to time.


It used to be that I'd eat, but I'm trying to break myself of that habit.

6. Generally, not well, but

when I'm being good to myself, my most effective way of dealing with stress is to do something physical. Go for a walk, some yoga, bike ride, whatever, just get outside in the sun and breathe. Diary journaling helps too, but I haven't been so good with that. That's probably one of the reasons why I've been so stressed lately. :)

Hope that helps! :hi:

23. Yoga has worked so well in the past

but I'm so lazy I don't have a regular routine

[tigereye]

40. just do the sun salutation in the am

or I used to do some stretches after I got home from work.


funny movie... or even a tearjerker work for me.

9. go play outside

especially on a sunny day, even a short walk will help

[Mutley]

10. scream at the top of my lungs

until a few blood vessels burst open.

[flvegan]

11. Go to the gym or hit the trails on my mountainbike.

[Beware the Beast Man]

12. Stay away from biblical prophecy websites.

:cry:

[Maestro]

15. Obvious

Those places are evil.

[Mrs_Beastman]

25. So I guess we are not watching "Locusts" on Sunday, huh?

:eyes:

I was so looking forward to some good psuedo-science.

[Maestro]

14. I try to exercise

or play some games on the computer, listening to music, but sometimes I fall into the self-medicating mode, drinking, prescription drugs, that sort of thing, but really, exercise is the best thing for me.

[RandomKoolzip]

16. Masturbation. Excessive, violent masturbation.

[Beware the Beast Man]

18. That should be a no-brainer; look who she's married to.

:silly:

[Mrs_Beastman]

21. But what happens when I lose feeling?

or get carpel tunnel syndrome?

[RandomKoolzip]

29. Then comes the self-flagellation.

[Mrs_Beastman]

30. oy!

[leftofthedial]

17. I make outrageous, insulting posts on DU

and pretend to participate in the ensuing flamewars

[deutsey]

19. I repeat myself when under stress

I repeat myself when under stress

I repeat myself when under stress

(Indiscipline, King Crimson)

:evilgrin:

[Mrs_Beastman]

26. I tend to freak out over little things

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD...STOP REPEATING YOURSELF!!!!!:mad:

[LiberalEsto]

22. Weeding the garden

I get all vicious with those poor little dandelions.

[Mrs_Beastman]

28. gardening works

right now , we are still in the frozen tundra stage of spring here in Cleveland...about two more weeks.

[redqueen]

27. Work out, write, do yardwork...

used to meditate, but it's hard to do nowadays.

Good luck. :hug:

[CornField]

31. Get out of the house

I head to the outdoors... usually on my bike, but sometimes on foot. I keep a pack in the back of my Jeep for just such days -- changes of clothing, camera, binoculars, water, energy bars, etc.

[Heidi]

32. Hiking, cleaning the house with a vengeance . . .

or locking myself in my studio and painting until the situation passes (as they always do).

[wideopen]

33. If my wife is willing

Go home at noon for a 2 hour "lunch" w/my wife while the kids are napping. Stress is gone, but damn it's hard to go back to work.

[LiberalEsto]

35. That's what everyone does in Italy

Adults and kids come home for 2 hours, eat a big meal, then go back to work or school. It sounds saner than our lifestyle.

[wideopen]

37. usually if I go home for

lunch I'm going for more than just food.

[Huckebein the Raven]

36. Video games for me

[Zuni]

38. Genocide

I lead a mass killing operation into a Burmese village. By the time I am done, I have plum forgot about most of my problems.
