How do you handle your stress?

[Dax Declan]

Im just curious how you guys vent/deal with stress and anxiety.

I listen to music. If its for my anxiety I can pretty much listen to anything i enjoy but of its for stress or sadness I try to listen to up beat music like (i know im gonna get crap for this) Taylor Swift or Echo Smith. I also love owl city but i try not to listen to most of his songs if im upset.

I fish hunt or just go for a walk in the woods anything to get me away from people and closer to nature. I found a spot behind the house that has a little creek running through it and the beavers damd it up so its just an awesome spot to sit and listen to the water flow

I get stressed and stuff, but sometimes I just relax.

I just realize that what happens, happens, that my actions at a certain point in time are irrelevant to the final outcome, stressing will just make it worse so just relax, have fun and just take it like a stride. It's how I do exams.

The other thing I do is plan constantly, always have a nice flexible plan in place and when something goes bad, I reformat the plan and find ways to deal with it

I just shoot things. (Airsoft or videogame-wise) i typically do more.slides.and stuff, too. Hard-ish to do, but they make me feel REALLY cool. I mean slide as in I slide into cover, like im running, i drop, and slidebasebal style a few feet behind  car.

very very violent games really its just me tho games like that sooth my soul that no one else can (unless your a big fluffy alaskan dragon)

I've learnt to ride the lightning.
Being stressed often gives me an adrenaline boost and that actually drives me to dealing with the stress by taking it head on.

It's when I can't do anything, that I find a new way to do it.

Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Disturbed, Rob Zombie, KoRn, Pantera. Heavy metal!!! \m/

I talk about what stresses me to someone I trust and are comfortable with. Or music. I also like to walk and eat a little bit of something.
It just clears my mind and everything feels like "water in air". I once slept because I was stressed.

I go for a run, shoot stuff with guns, or draw

[MaskaTheOtter]

for me I go to my favorite spot at John Brian State Park and I meditate while listening to mother nature

[Tim Siguire]

Oh that's cool Masks.

I usually come on here or play my game. Or watch Dashie's videos.

[MaskaTheOtter]

listening to New Orleans Jazz also always makes me feel better

To be honest, I mostly bottle it up until it reaches critical mass and I have a panic attack or vent angrily for two hours straight o someone. You know, healthy ways to handle it.

[MaskaTheOtter]

that is really dangerous. I used to do that and I would have angry outbursts

[Twilight Rose]

I'm aware, but the only things that actually help are inaccessible, whether because of money or distance.
