The Rollercoster of Everyday Life

I bet we all frequently or occasionally have days where we feel tired, anxious, stressed, or irritated. What do you guys do to take a load off? Maybe listening to music, or hanging out?

Also say, you've had a really bad day or someone has ticked you off about anything, how do you respond and how do you put yourself in a tranquil mood again?

~As for me its mostly the strain of school and the annoyance of family quarrels. To alleviate this, I like to listen to music, or make myself laugh in some sort of way by watching YouTube vids, a movie or simply take my mind off of other things such as reading a good book.

The main purpose of this thread is to post your solutions to your everyday fatigue and how you deal with it. So other people can relate to someone else's situation and take their post into personal account, or even directly recommend them a solution. :) Yay?

Discuss.

Oh my life is filled with sooo much drama and crap.

Music is definitely a source of comfort to me. There's a song for ever mood I'm in and it feels good just to be encapsulated in a whole different world. Or at least that's how it feels for me.

Also the main reason I joined PC is, like you said, to get away from everything. When I'm on the computer talking about random topics, or even just playing video games, I don't even think about anything else that's going on around me. These distractions that other people may view as lazy or couch potatoish are actually really good for separating yourself from life's troubles. Except now, you're making me think about life again ;P

I don't mention being around people because that doesn't really help when they're usually the root of all the stress anyways lol. I mean hanging out is always good, but my mind'll still be on everything that I don't want it to be on.

Haha, sorry about that. But yea PC(and video games in general) is like my main source of "escape". My most enjoyable times on PC are among the Clubs, discussion, and Trivia which I find both engaging and fun.

I have yet to find a way to escape stress in general. Perhaps I'm the only one, but when I'm tired, I end up stressed about stupid stuff to the point where I can't even think properly. Only think I've discovered that actually works for that is pain.

From time to time, I get into these weird depression ruts...but only at night. When that happens, I listen to a recording of an online radioshow-type thing because it's funny.

Ho ya.
Same here for me,but I generally play music too.
Video Games are great as well,but I can't play certain ones merely because falling into the same pit 15 times in a row doesn't really cheer me up.
Anger however usually leads to me beating the hell out of a sandbag though.

This is a great thread,good on you. (Erm,CourageHound that is)

gaming has always been my stress relief theres nothing better than getting lost in your imagination in a game

I play video games or go online and talk to people I know on the internet. It usually helps me feel better and is relaxing. Sometimes I might watch TV or a movie to unwind.
