How do you cope with stress?

36 comments

1. Long term, I focus on what motivates me and my goals. I rely on my support system and find positive ways to release the stress or focus it towards working towards clear objectives

   Short term, I masturbate

2. Masturbating, listening to music, drawing and on rare occasions, crying

3. Pot and Black Sabbath!

4. Not caring about other people’s opinions of me usually keeps me stress free.

5. I’m just like “ehh it’s fine” and do something else

6. Work out or beat it

7. Weed, clonazepam, coffee, porn, zolpidem, playing with my cats, ordering food and eating with my wife, gym.

8. Alcohol drugs and fighting homeless people

9. Take care of the problem until the stress gone or at acceptable levels.

10. Weed is a real game changer bro

11. Am I the only one that works more

12. exercising, cooking, snuggling with my cat, watching the hummingbirds

13. Marijuana

14. Recently started doing meditation and it helped tons. Even a 5 mins sit and breathing exercises helps

15. Dealing with one thing at a time and realizing that I do what I can and just leave it at that, my best is all I can do.

16. Beating it, drinking excessively, and crying. Not necessarily in that order.

17. Walks with some music or chilling with some mates

18. a) don’t sweat the small stuff

    b) it’s all small stuff

    It sounds flippant, but it isn’t. If no one is going to die because of you, it can be handled. If there’s nothing you can personally do to fix whatever the situation is, then there’s no stress on you that you’re not putting on yourself. Don’t let someone else tell you that something is your responsibility when it isn’t- I’ve found that most of the time the person who’s putting stress on you to fix/do something is usually the person who’s ACTUALLY responsible for it (either they caused it, or they’re really the one who’s supposed to fix it, usually both).

19. Add another stresser into the mix and let them fight it out.

20. Can’t really call it coping if it’s been chronic. I isolate myself to be reflective and organize myself

21. Circumstances both in an out of my control have led my understanding of “just deal with it” to become “Just let this potentially resolvable issue walk all over you” so it’s pretty much:

    – Resolve the thing stressing me

    – Go do ANYTHING else.

22. …… Cope?

23. Sex, 420, going 120 mph through the corner

24. Drinking

25. Isolating myself and going to the gym to destroy my body safely.

26. Cannabis

27. I bottle it up and cry in the shower. I feel like a regular every-day replicant.

28. listening to music, watching movies or playing tennis

29. Alcohol, crying, more alcohol and crying. I hate relationships

30. Music & time with my SO seems to do the trick. If neither are available then i just endure it

31. I rewind where is the stress coming from? I try to logically analyse and answer questions whether its me taking the stress and the person was just too frustrated? Its a big deal. If the person was frustated and releasing his anger in front of me then he must be in trouble or he is an idiot. Thats all. Then i enjoy my my music and sleep peacefully.

32. Weight lifting.

33. Scream internally

34. Cigars and Whiskey.

35. I don’t

36. Grab my rod and tacklebox and hit the lake and meditate while fishing.
