How do you all handel stress?

[Data Holmes]

I was just wondering if any of you have any tricks or specific things you do to deal with stresses.

 

[Michael Chris]

This is how I now manage it. It didn't work for me in the past though.

If something is stressing me out I try to resolve the stress, but if I can't I move on.

 

[Lindley]

Focus on resolving one aspect of the situation at a time. Trying to figure out everything at once just tends to increase stress while being unproductive.

 

[John Picard]

Heavy drinking, fighting, and fucking -- but not necessarily in that order.

 

[RoJoHen]

I edit misspelled words.

 

[Plomeek Broth]

Heavy drinking, fighting, and fucking -- but not necessarily in that order.

I only partake in the first of those, but not by choice, mind you!

 

[Kestra]

I take Xanax.

 

[Q2UnME]

Large amounts of beer and smokes....

 

[Goji]

I become even more sarcastic and cynical. Oddly enough, it does make me feel better.

 

[Plomeek Broth]

Exercising, drinking, listening to music, talking about your stress with someone getting it off your chest and trying to resolve it, Klingon opera, nature walk, a hot shower, and I'm am still stressed.

 

[Neeka Keet]

Listening to the beautiful compositions of George Frideric Handel.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

With care.

 

[DBR]

Propranolol. It's amazing.

Sir, you read my mind.

Video games or rebuild something.

This place is seriously lucky that I can't mark all over it with a red pen...because I would.

Sir, you read my mind.

...and both of my responses are taken!

 

[Robert Maxwell]

Writing, programming, playing video games, being social. Yep.

 

[RJDiogenes]

I imagine myself not being stressed. I also may indulge in some of my favorite nostalgia; that always picks me up when I'm down.

Or all three at the same time.
