We all cope with things differently. How do you?

[John Galt]

A quick trip to the chans helps me keep things nice and rosy. Nothing soothes me faster than racism and memes.

 

[Evil_Valentine_Marshmallow]

scream into a pillow...lol okay I usually just go evil in fable or black and white when i'm PO'd. if i'm sad, i just listen to music

 

[Godysseus]

Piano, classical, jazz, modern, it's almost as cathartic as a violent video game.
There's relaxing and smoking/drinking with people, it has to be the right people, too

 

[Spinozaad]

When stressed... I prefer sex. That's just the best stressreliever.
When angry... I just curse the world, write revolutionary flyers in which I state all the wrongs of the world (seriously, I do that.)
When sad... I don't know really. Going for a walk, or something.

 

[Labyrinth]

Metal, sex, mosh pits, violin, Metalocalypse, metal, coffee, chocolate, metal, FPS.

Oh, and metal on occasion too.

 

[Ultrajoe]

I bottle it, bottle it and bottle it.

It's worked so far, and it's a foolproof strategy.

 

[Reaperman Wompa]

Videogames, thinking, watching MASH, RED DWARF or just regular tv until I kinda just move on.

Lol, the most musical thing I can do is whistle
Although I wish I could play piano.

 

[stompy]

I play violent video games to relieve stress.

Even reading (books, forums) helps for me.

 

[Daymo]

I either walk to the video store and get out a good movie/game, go for a slow swim or play some old game i own on easy and have fun passing it easily. If at school i go to the libary and read a book.

 

[Georgie2x4]

When I used to get depressed I used to unwind by talking to my (now ex) girlfriend and cuddle with her while watching movies or listening to music. After she broke up with me (a long time ago) everything seemed to become worthless and I didn't have an outlet which eventually lead to a painkiller overdose...these days I just stop, realise that it just isn't worth stressing or getting upset over things, have a smoke (sometimes a beer too), listen to some music and just continue about as normal. If im out of ciggys/beer/have no music, I just smile politely and repress until I can get one of my relief's.

Also I wouldn't condone doing what I did the first time round, its generally better to talk to friends/family or even just a random person.

 

[Whiskyjakk]

Usually a combination of classical music and some organizing/Spring Cleaning to make everything a bit less imposing.

Although if this doesn't work all sensibleness goes out the window and I just binge on cheap lager, 90% sugar snacks and online comedy shows; before passing out and hoping the hangover will be bad enough to make everything else relatively better.

 

[Murrah]

Drinking lots and lots of caffein, smoke a lot of nicotine, play the saddest game ever Runescape, go to parties and have a Serious talk with my boyfriend, in his bed room!

 

[Jursa]

Turn on some heavy rock music on loud and have a beer. Those 2 kinda suck it out of ya.

 

[DannyDamage]

Here's a 3rd person! Can't beat sitting outside in the trees, lighting a fatty and playing my Ocarina to the sheep in the field next door

That and joining a drum circle at a festival, fun fun fun

Oh man you play the ocarina too? I just started playing a couple months ago but I love the thing.

 

[TJ rock 101]

I dont get stress... it gets me.
people find my lack of care for their daily lives very annoying for some reason...

 

[Galletea]

If I've been repressing things for ages, I'll write everything down that's been on my mind.
Then burn the paper, mostly because I don't want my nosy sister to read it, but it's kind of a wierd clensing process as well.
