What to do when you just need to chill-out? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Kay Scarpetta · 10-11-2005, 07:31 PM

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.

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.

Karen* · 10-11-2005, 08:53 PM

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

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

Steve M. · 10-11-2005, 08:55 PM

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.

Pitooey · 10-11-2005, 08:59 PM

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

AD FAN · 10-11-2005, 10:47 PM
