I try not to, but my eyelid has been twitching an awful lot lately and i've been icnredibly tired and very depressed lately. Should see a doctor but, fuck it.

I've had an incredibly stressful year, medical problems, university work, landlord problems (which caused my getting a lower grade at university) housemate problems, in fact, constant problems day in day out this year without end.

When I'm stressed I usually either go for a nice walk, listen to some soothing music, take a bubble bath, read a book or play a video game where I can kill a lot of people. =] I sometimes will talk to Tom too, and Liam. =]

Bottle it up like a man. Keep in there, deep down festering like a woodworm clawing desperately trying to get out of a wooden casket buried 6 feet under. One day you'll need that stored up aggression, one day you'll have the strength inside of you to do what needs must.

I tend to work out extensively to the point where I can hardly keep my eyes open ,then take a warm shower and go to bed while listening to KFWB's radio programs (Count Down show is my favorite ) .

I like to go for a stroll around town and listen to music. Usually it's Infected Mushroom, but anything you enjoy would probably do the trick.

In extreme stress situations, I just leave the area that is stressing me out and go to be alone. If I'm angry enough, I'll probably pick something up and throw it. Alternatively, I grab my Zune and listen to some music at a too high volume.

Depends how stressed I am...

Level One - Maybe try weights or a walk, music definitely helps here. This is mostly just small irritations though
Level Two - Music has less of an effect on me, I need immediate expression otherwise it reaches Level Three. Usually when I'm at this stage I try and talk about it with my girlfriend, no matter what it is it always helps to talk.
Level Three - A physical release is the only way to get it out here. Punching and general thrashing around ensues. When i'm this bad I try to write, get the emotion down on paper and then sort it out with fiction.

  • Listen to Ska music
hurrah for ska
i agree with kmdrkul on ska (unless you hate the genre)
I just take a bath, sleep, or play my drumset (it lets the anger out). For a while I was close to a gun shop and shooting rage, so I shot the shit out of some targets to deal with anger and stress. It worked..... very well (especially with a spas 12 sir)

I tend to stay away from games when I'm stressed.

Tend to just watch TV and movies though.

Always keep shit you dont want where u get stressed most often, so you can smash, eat, or rape it when you're angry.

Drinking also helps i guess.

If you're touchy-feely, writing thoughts out tends to just throw them out of my system.


If that doesn't work, there's baths, naps, take out an old game you've been meaning to play, and if all else fails, masturbate.

Also, look at where you want to go, not where you are. Do not compare yourself to other people because that's self-defeating and doesn't do any good for anyone. Move foward, do not move back, and above all else, do not stay still.

I either avoid the problem, or well that's mainly it ... not a great coping mechanism.
