What do you do when the world and everything in it is testing your last nerve? Do you lash out or put walls up? Do you need meds? Do you not need meds, but wish you had some anyway? :lol: Do deep breaths help? Does counting to ten work? A long walk? A hot bath? Chocolate?! What do you do?

i definitly lash out...when im stressed out my friends know it and are afraid of me

how do i deal w/ it?
for a little bit of stress- bubble baths, candles, gwtw soundtrack, and chocolate mousse, lol

sometimes dancing or going for a run will help too.

for big time stress- aromatherapy helps me a lot. i have meds for when i get really bad but i havent had to use them for awhile now which is great.

When i'm stressed, I need to be left alone. I can't deal with anybody when I feel that way. A lot of times, coming here calms me down. I read the posts, reply to them and I feel better.

That Whine complain thread works wonders. Sometimes I wish I had some meds though. Very rarely does it get that bad for me.

I can be really stressed out over school. I usually watch a comfort movie or take a nice hot bubble bath. That usually calms me down.

meditate. meditation is the key to frustration

I just take Meds. Meds are the key to my frustration.

Paxil! And a whole lot of laziness. I get in my "f*** everything" mood when I'm stressed.

I wrap myself in my blankie and cry

I bitch at whoever comes across my path. Or I punch a pillow.

Depends. If it's at someone, I usually end up telling them off and giving 'em a good kick up the ass. That usually works.

If it's in general, or school, whatever, I get in my bitchy sarcastic mood. I'll blare my music very loud and go cry up on my bed and write morbid poetry, or I'll go talk to Miss D.

i used to be stressed alot. then i started working out excersise does wonders for stress. :p

I don't deal with stress very well at all - and I have an anxiety disorder.I take meds,but they really aren't that helpful.I get very mean and cross with people,when I'm stressed.I guess I like to be alone when I'm really stressed:argue:

I beat myself up. :lookaroun

it depends on how stressed I am sometimes I just vent to someone and sometimes I write or sing

I seem to get stressed out a lot. I dont even know how I handle it though. I dont remember the last time I wasnt stressed.

Im a big bitch to every1 when im stressed or pissed off so i go in my room and try to get over it

I freak out and tell my parents how much useless work high school is. Thats homework stress, but as for yearbook stress, I freak out as well and feel like it will never get done and i just worry.

When I get stressed out I usually cry or throw things

Kaput.. Hands on the throat..

This is a war

:boxing:

When I get stressed I sometimes go into a "depressed" mode.

If the stress piles on all at once, there is always a "last straw" and I usually just laugh because I can't comprehend such a thing is happening. This all usually happens with loads of school work and pressure from parents or friends to get something done. There's just a point where I can't take it anymore and it all comes surreal and I block it all out by just laughing with stupidity.

Hey, whatever works. *shrugs*

I usually put walls up....... I dont like to take my anger out on other people,it wont help me feel better.......

But if someone is pissing me off ON PURPOSE,i might not hesitate to show them I am mad..

I am under tremendous stress and I would like not to be!!

Stress comes in MANY forms, handling it is the KEY.

Yea I hear ya!!
