    Moogle Stress relief

    I've noticed several people lately post about being in stressful situations. It's a forum-wide stress-a-thon! Now I don't want to hear about everyone's woes lately. No I need stress relief!

    What do you do to relieve stress?

    I lash out at people haha sounds bad but I am a bottler. I bottle things up until I explode. Really should avoid doing that oops. I use to write things out in blogs but have since not done this as much as i've become more private so it's been back to bottling. I also play puzzle games. My frustration goes to that rather than to people. I need to play more puzzle games. also BAKING I love to bake and it's therapeutic to me to make cookies. I dunno why.

    So tell me eoff, what do you do?

    I have many ways to deal with stress. Mostly hobbies. But occasionally when things completely smurf up/trout hits the fan/everything goes down the drain/etc. I just drink. Which isn't really too much of a problem because I still do a lot of good while I'm stuck inside a bottle.

    Also,having a super-flexible fiancee with double my sex drive helps a lot

    I'm not a bottler, I'm a bitcher. Bitch about anything and everything that comes my way!

    Stress relief, though - listening to good, soothing music always helps me. You can never go wrong with the Time To Get Classy combo.

    Sex.

    It's easy to forget about your worries when there isn't enough blood in your brain to do any thinking.

    Well aren't you lucky smurfers. Pun intended.

    Listening to music is a good way to relieve stress. So is running/exercise - endorphins are great! Napping and eating are also a favourite of mine.

    don't dodge the swear filter!

    I'm a bottler too, but I tend to just shut myself away until I calm down. Listen to some music, walk the dogs or draw. Sometimes I go swimming if I can

    I tend to not get stressed out very easily - there are few things that bring it out in me and they tend to be things I can influence. Basically, if it's 100% out of my control, I don't get stressed out about it. I like to fix problems that I have in my life, so if I have something that is giving me stress I will do whatever I can to fix that problem.

    As for just relaxing myself, that would be a combination of TV, gaming and just relaxing with Danielle & friends.

    Games usually calm me right down! Writing does too, sometimes, but games are more fun.

    I vent, do something else, go for a walk, watch something funny, or play video games. It all depends on where, who's around or who caused my stress.

    [insert joke that everyone else has used here]

    I actually just end up finding videos, typically video game reviews, movie reviews, etc. that I know will make me laugh hard. Wasn't looking forward to the work day today, so I watched me some Game Grumps and laughed so hard I was able to sleep a little easier last night.

    GLOOOOOOP! (SPOILER)not really sure if anyone here watches it, but whatever

    i hate my job and i'm stressed out a lot due to this.

    every day on my lunch break i go lift weights for forty minutes. it helps take a lot of the hostility away and i'm getting in shape.

    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
