How do you guys handle stress?
 

you know when the pressures on and you get headaches and feel panicky with blurred vision? what do ya do? seriously this sucks.

Pop 5 Xanax

Exercise, have a beer, smoke a bowl, and get back to fucking work.

did the exercise and back to work part already :(

But not the beer and bowl, its a progressive practice. Have to do everything in its proper order.

Driving.. probably not the best idea, but it works for me

(and no i'm not talking about speeding 300 km an hour)

driving with the pink floyd playing on the cd player sounds kinda good too

Definitely exercise. Depends on what the stress is from though. If it's my wife, drink a twelve pack.

smoke, get a cup of coffee, take a 15 minute walk (if that's possible)...

pass the xanax please

ever try klonipin? that stuff was amazing

Just think about the world being bigger than your little problems.

Things can always be worse is what I tell myself if I get stressed out or bothered by pressure.

Because we all know...

Things can get worse even if it is thought not possible.

Take a long walk and talk with my wife.

Taking Lexapro

I love how kids these days believe drugs are the answer to problems...

LOL and people said my generation was lazy and stupid...

fuck meds i used to have zoloft as my "long term fix" as i called it, but it only made me feel like a zombie and have totally wacked dreams that i still thought i was having 10 minuets after waking.

I am way better now just stress :(

Find the couch and have two bottles of beer. That's it.

Smoke pot and drink beer. It doesnt get any more relaxed than that.

i run a couple of miles

That´s exactly right. I always thing about sick people or something like that. My probs seem at once too unimportant to worry about!

good approach :thumbsup

I rub one out

stretch a little, smoke and drink something.

I go to bed when Im stressed! But I usually dont stress much! Im pretty calm!

I never understood people using drugs/medicines to relief stress

the best way is sex
if you don't have a girl around - wank

sometimes lonely walking helps

Screaming helps. Seriously.

i hatefuck my girlfriend

Walk on the beach, pop B-vitamins, pop Mag./ Cal., massage, deep breathing, no caffeine, etc..

I do all of those regularly. I get a massage twice a week, it's just great!

HMS has an e-book called "Stress Control: techniques for preventing and easing stress." Check it out:

valium alcohol and weed usually do the trick. have lots of sex too that helps getting things off your mind for a little bit. :)

Best answer??????

depends, either I go to the gym for an hour or two..or do absolutely nothing for a couple of hours..sleep is always a good way to get rid of stress..you are not awake and you dont have to deal with it.

You really don't wanna mix all those drugs. Suspect that will put you to sleep though. Drink till drunk, then use the Valium to cure the shakes and hangover. Use the weed before sex to get more in the mood. Add an erection pill (SensiPill - see sig) if your over 30 so the sex lasts longer.

I sleep! :)

As for several others, something physical works for me. When I was younger it was rugby and cross-country running; later on I slowed down to gardening; and these days it's tai chi. Gardening worked best, because I could spend as long doing it as I needed and also enjoy the results of my work.

That said, I have had some seriously high-pressure jobs over the years and never come close to the symptoms that you described. You don't say what the source of your stress is, but I suspect you are going to have to tackle that rather than just trying to find ways to cope.

I usually end up falling asleep. No idea why, but everytime I get stressed, I feel very sleepy.

Jerk off

get a punch bag? Spend 10 mins beating crap out of it.

Or , my current favourite....not as healthy ....drink enough to kill an ox then pass out....
:thumbsup
I.

What's her phone number? I did the long walk already.

Your extensive usage of "!" doesn't suggest that however

nothing helps but a nice beer and some weed

Ah good to see that others also just take a nap when the stress hits a little too high. Then again, I usually power through the stress and sleep after?

work harder and you can't think about the stress anymore...

check stats

i murder otters

Long walk, or job around the block.

Working out helps a lot

see sig. :)

get as much as 10hrs of sleep a day :)
