I'm really stressed.
yeah i need some help.
what do you guys do for stress management? |
Get away from the computer, go find some music to listen to (I have a good ambient music station that I like because I know it tends to help my moods), and then just...go find something to occupy the time. Reading a book, playing a game, even messing around on my tablet, anything like that. Although for higher stress levels, the biggest thing is just to get away from all electronics, go outside, take a nice long walk, just go somewhere to be able to collect myself. Repeat as necessary.

solution: you go buy the nacho cheese from taco bell and put it on broccoli

I hear a stress ball helps if you have one you can squeeze it to your hearts content or just turn off the lights and laydown focus your breathing it'll relax you which will un-stress you.
|
I force myself to have fun (like by watching funny and/or cute shows or playing video games that I really enjoy) and generally be lazy and/or sleep.
Alternatively curl up with a light-hearted book. Also, I listen to music I like, be it hyper-happy or ultra-aggressive. Basically, just any of my normal unwind and relax methods. On top of that, attempting mentally to reduce the number of ****s given about the stressful things until the stress is back to more manageable levels also helps (such as thinking "**** IT THIS IS MY NEW TEMPORARY NORMAL LET'S DO WHAT I CAN ABOUT THIS"). But that also is probably something not everyone can do, and I know it doesn't work every time for me. Beating the **** out of a stress ball works pretty well for me sometimes, too. As does bouncing basketballs as hard as I can off of walls at the gym. Oh, and walking sometimes works as a way to clear my mind. Syd's idea about drenching broccoli in nacho cheese dip is also a pretty okay sounding idea. |

When I'm stressed, I either go for a run, play basketball, or do some writing. Just anything constructive to get out the anger inside of me. I would not recommend doing what I used to do: punch walls. |
If not playing video games I enjoy or watching shows or movies I like, shadow boxing or general exercising does it for me.
Punching bags are great too, but only if I'm in the club heh. Do not punch walls. |
I just watched a whole bunch of disney movies and that made me calm down a bit. I'm also about to order a pizza because why not?
This is me when I'm emotionally stressed though, like right now. For normal stress, I just sleep. I tend to sleep loads, I turn off the TV, and blast music while my neighbors complain. |
I'm screaming at the Taco Bell posts. It's actually so bad for my acid reflux, but I eat it anyways when I'm stressed. I was just thinking about it earlier!

i dunno if i should be beaming with pride or worrying about our health. |
For real though, I just kind of take some time alone. Head out somewhere new to explore, or I just walk. Walking usually gives me time to figure out why I am so stressed, and what I can do to stop it from getting to me.

I actually have horrible anxiety due to autism, not a generalized anxiety disorder, so when I get stressed... it's a huge deal. When that happens, I end up having to take an anxiety pill. Otherwise, I won't be able to calm myself on my own. However, most times, I can listen to music, play Pokemon or write something. If I can distract myself, then that's usually what matters for me the most. Music is the best thing that is able to calm me down, which is why I end up having it constantly too.
|
Having autism has always been a hindrance to me, making me mentally unstable in the past couple of years due to being a constant bullying victim and my jobs at work not turning out as great as I hoped for. I now constantly live in fear due to an abusive neighbour breaking my unit's security door, and stress had really been piling up on me as of late.
I have started taking anti-depressant pills, but music also helps me try and feel better as well. |

I either watch some anime and eat some tacos or put on some music and do something for an rp or ff&w. Just being on pc in general usually helps me even if I'm not really posting or anything. Just put in a headphone or two and look around.
|
I usually focus my stress into Dark Souls with wildly varying degrees of success. Or just take an hour to build a new house extension in Terraria. Or zone out to music and wake up a couple hours later.
Also sometimes I punch things. But not things that can be hurt don't worry. |

I usually think things through
like yesterday I was really stressed out because of annoyances with so many people and then on top of that i kept encountering irritating things like people driving extremely slow in front of me, and I screamed (in my car) "CAN IT GET ANY-" and before I could finish i calmed myself down and said out loud "okay just relax, it could be a lot worse." and then I listed good things to myself. but yeahh whenever i'm really stressed or even really mad i remind myself the positive aspects in my life. plus i'm a firm believer in being happy with what you have and i try to always remind myself that complaining or being mad is a waste |
