I'm so anxious right now that I'm literally beside myself. My meds, for some strange reason, decided to slack off today, and I'm completely wired. Can't eat, got no sleep last night, can't do much of anything. I have a lot on my mind lately concerning people in my life, so I guess that's contributing to it.

Because my meds usually take care of this, I have no idea how to just chill out. I took a hot shower hoping it would loosen my tense-ness in my neck, but that didn't help. Tried listening to music, tried laying down.

What do you guys do when you just need down time? Maybe one of you will have the lucky answer that'll work for me.

I do something musical. Sing,play piano,or just listen to music...

I come here! :D

Watch comedy central or listen to music. Erm but usually what I do is take stuff out on everyone else, hyperventilate, and or flip out :) That's not the right one though. Don't do that one.

Sometimes I find myself just surfing the web for stuff that crosses my mind. That relaxes me.

Ha! I bet you thought I was going to say "hanging out in a bar."

I do that on weekends.

;)

Do what I do. Eat! Maybe eating would help a bit? Just have something you really love. Play with Chloe.

I go online, watch TV or a DVD, listen to music, or just lie down and do nothing.

Sometimes I find myself just surfing the web for stuff that crosses my mind. That relaxes me.

Oh, good, I thought I was the only one! :lol:

Also, I read, listen to music, and tend to my stamp collection to relax. :)

When I am anxious, I HAVE to keep my brain occupied. I always fall victim of just thinking, thinking, and doing MORE thinking. To avoid falling into this endless circle, I find it best to visit forums I frequent (here and an Ace of Base forum). Just reading threads and topics sorta gets me out of that over-analyzing loop.

I also like to play some music or just type in my journal pouring my feelings out.

I do crossword puzzles or cryptograms. I also read........

lil ice cream, couple dvds, pjs, and you're set. ;)

Chocolate solves every problem. :D

Chocolate solves every problem. :D

...unless you're alergic to it. :lol:

I usually grab a season of a show I really like on DVD and have marathon.

Oh yeah, that reminds me...I like to pig out when I need to chill. Food is a remedy to everything. :D

Listen to CDs and/or play the guitar.

Complain a lot. :lol: Exercise might work...I should do more of that.

Come to SO and eat. Those are remedies for everything.

There's a few things I do when my meds aren't working. The main thing I do is PRAY!!! I find that pouring out my heart and feelings to God, almost always helps me to feel better. I'm not sure if you're religious or not, but reading the Bible almost always helps me as well. Sometimes it works so well, it's as if Iv'e become a totally new person. My last suggestion would be that you take a nice walk. I have a park about 2 minutes from my house, so I usually walk there, and sit on a bench, and just breath in the fresh air, and listen to the sounds of nature. That's usually incredibly relaxing!! Anyway, I hope one of these suggestions help you, and I hope you start feeling better soon!! Hang in there!! :)

when i feel stressed i usually listen to music or take a walk with my dog... that usually helps me. hope you feel better. :)

I go outside and get some fresh air. I try get into the present moment. I watch a favorite movie or show. Meditate. Talk to someone.

I listen to music, go on the web, watch TV and just lie down in my bed.:D

Monday, I figured, was just one of my off days. I thought it would go away. Yesterday, it was a bit strange that I was still like this.

But today?! What is my problem?! I know what it is, it's certain people, but I just cannot calm down. And I can't talk to them either, because I'm so mad at them.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I'll try some of them.
