How do you deal with stress??

[bulldog755]

I have anxiety attacks and I exercise when I have them or when I'm under stress. I can walk up to 10 miles wit out getting tired when I have an attack - it's like I turn into a machine. So far exercising is the only thing that prevents me from ripping my hair out.

Use to play World of Warcraft but my main comps motherboard fried and this one not good enough to run the game.

But hopefully my new stress reliever will be taking my new puppy for a walk.

    i discuss this with a close friend or family member to be aware of the reasons why i am feeling stressed. Simply talking it through may help.
     Secondly, these situations can be used as cues to relax. i use simple relaxation techniques (Deep breathing etc...) when a stressful situation occurs or is anticipated. For example, doing neck stretching exercises when  i am in traffic jam rather than getting tense and stressed.

I wish if I can find away to deal with stress because i don't care so much for music and it doesn't help and when I feel stresses I don't feel like going anywhere and nothing help even I can't sleep and when i force myself to sleep I don't feel that I had some rest or I am better no. the only thing i love to do to sit by the sea but it's not there and the only thing that can make me a little better is a smile from my daughters that's it

When I get really stressed I will listen to music and workout, it seems to take my mind off of what was stressing me out

I don't deal with stress very well. Thanks for all of the ideas on this thread. Right now I'm on the verge of some type of mental breakdown.

I have a variety of things depending on what's stressing me out.  I either play my piano, put in a good Taebo exercise video (or 2), go for a long hike through the woods.  Sometimes I'll just be a hermit/bum and sit and watch movies in my pjs for a whole day.

I deal with stress in many ways. One way is to pray about it get some releif. Walk around neighborhood and exersie a little. Meditation in silence is great way to relieve stress to me . Oh and the occassional chocolate bar can even help. Believe it or not cleaning helps remove stress.

When I'm stressed I put everything down, go into the kitchen, take out all the things I crave, carry them into my room, sit my butt down, take a deep breath, and turn on the TV.  Eat, prey, and love.

My best stress buster is spilting wood or cutting down trees in the fence roll.
