usually if I'm under intense stress, I cry for a while and let it all out. Then, i go do something about it.

Stress is a word used a lot these days but surprisingly few people understand what stress is. Stress is required for survival. Normal levels of stress are required for every day motivational and creative activity. Example, I must get out of bed to go to work, this is a thought which triggers a set of signals which in turn prepare the body to carry out this action. In extreme situations we call it fight or flight responses, this is about survival and preservation of ones life when threatened by extreme danger. The physiological responses are much more drastic, to mention just a few, thickening of the blood to prevent blood loss, diverting blood to the most needed areas of the body, quickened heart beat, etc. The problem is that many people these days are living on the edge by leading very stressful lives so the body is in a permanent state of arousal (flight or fight response) which gives rise to many physical mental and emotional problems since there is no real danger to deal with excepting yourself maybe. Regular moderate exercise, healthy diet, calming music, meditation and the like are all good ways to deal with stress. Cut out any activity which is over stimulating. Best of all see a qualified Stress Counsellor who will be able to help you identify the stressors in your life and importantly agree a plan which will help you to manage your stress more effectively.

SomeTimes you gotta just kick back and relax, take a step back from what ever has been stressin' you out so you can clear you mind, then once you do that go back when your ready and handle that pesky "Stress Factor"

Intense cardio REALLY works for me. Put on the headphones, run on the treadmill and let go - or take an aerobic class. I love group exercise. It helps me every, single day.

Oprah once said this on here show many years ago- " look at your life- identify what is stressing you out- then get rid of it" very true....i have lived by those words and it works all the time. My husband was making my life miserable- so i kicked him out and divorced him. ......sometimes one must make changes to their lives in order to take control of it. Make this YOUR life and dont let anyone else run it for you! You will also respect yourself more.

I was under severe stress at one point, I wont get into it. But I took a break, thought things over, began lifting weights more and got more sleep. I filtered all the negitive things/people in my life, and I am replacing them with positives.
I am feeling more rested, clean, strong and ready.

I usually get a super soaker water gun and fill it with watered down hot sauce go driving around and spray random pedestrians in the eyes, or go to the bar, get liquored up (not enough to get too awfully un coordinated) and beat the ever loving f*ck out of the first person who tries to start problems with anyone else, whether you're involved to begin with or not. Or put something disgusting in someones mailbox and wait to see either their or the mail carrier's reaction when they see it. :P

Showers - walks - beautiful scenery - video games - weed

If there is a problem that can be solved, I try to solve the problem as soon as possible. If the problem is major, I can't get any rest until it is solved or at least in the making to be solved.
If my family or myself is ill, which has been the case recently, the stress really doesn't get relieved. If I can do something about it, I do everything in my power and then after that, I try to divert my mind or vent. That is how I found answerbag. Family illness is one of the worse stressors. Financial takes a second.
Also, I try to get enough sleep and eat properly to help me deal with the stress.
All of the rest of the small things in life are trivial. I do not stress over life's everyday disappointments for the most part. When I feel overtaxed, I might loose it for a short while but I get back on track.

I start snapping at people, and once my stress peaks, I break down and cry. Then I do something to help alleviate it.

most days my head feels like a drum i get frustrated over the little things and lash out at family members only three things can fix it
Phil Collins easy lover,in the air tonight and then another day in paradise
beer not advisable
punching a wall or pillow most psychologists believe that reinforcing your anger is simply gonna make you resort to anger for relieve
so for the safest way to relieve stress easy Phil Collins
or ridiculous amounts of weed and valium again Phil wins

I cut out the caffeine,almost entirely. I quit smoking. Smoking only made me more stressed when i was in places were it was banned. Nowadays that is everywhere. Every once in a while i throw a glass at the wall. I just make sure that nobody is around. There are some places were people pay good money to throw dishes at the wall. Why not.

by Werewolf87 on December 11th, 2008
I do my chores or any other need-to-do physical labor.
these also work for me:
I read, craft, paint, draw,take our dog for a walk, or play violent video games. For me taking it all out on computer sims works the best.

eat healthily, bananas n sunflower seeds have feel good chemicals in them. shaking ur hands from side to side from the wrist quickly relieves stress, so does running and kick boxing.
Crying and eating chocolate only makes u feel worse.
Crying wont change anything, only u can tackle the problem, I always think to myself 'crying wont change it, only i can so wot am i gona do about it'
I hate talking to people about my problems so I write it down on paper e.g. a letter to the person who upset me, then i burn it, then i feel sooooooooooo much better
