Play video games. Or listen to new age.

Or if its really bad, turn up the metal and one-man-mosh around the room a while.

Jeez, I can't do that. Abusing alcohol when I'm anxious and depressed just makes me more anxious and depressed. It's awful.

I've found that alcohol increases my stress and makes me more agitated. 48 hours after I drink, everybody around me suddenly turns into a g*ddamn motherfarking moron. It's the strangest thing.

One in three turns to booze to relieve stress, the other two just do it because it's fun, legal, and makes sex with their girlfriends palatable.

Keep in mind that the top two reason that British woman drink is to, more or less, get laid. I mean you would think that with "too much use of teeth" being a top complaint amongst American men, they would just have to buy a bloody plane ticket.

Alcohol is a depressant and terrible for relieving stress, it makes it worse. Don't get me wrong, I love my beer. If not doing well emotionally, alcohol is going to make it worse, not better. The rest of us know this and reach for the bong instead.

 
Sean_L 2008-08-30 10:55:52 PM  
Trolling. Alcohol sucks and so do you.

Funny, for me it's 48 hours before and after I drink.

Jesus farking christ I need to change jobs and town right now. I hate the people around me so much that I would prefer a job where I would get shot at instead. I used to go months without so much as beer. Farking assholes.

I took up marathon running. I find the runners high at mile 14 cheaper than coke and it gives you the munchies for healthy food...

I usually tend to see these threads and laugh, I relive stress by reading a lot, drinking playing, but playing what? I don't know, I'm scared right now of going outside, the Sun is bright but my skin is soft and tender. It feels like my chair is moving, but the ceiling isn't. Also, the cat isn't in the ceiling. Maybe because I have a domo kun toy looking at the ceiling. Anyways, fark is good, beer isn't, wait it is, wait it isn't, ok it is again. So, between reading, playing, sometimes drinking, playing, did I say reading? I tend to scratch, tiny little fleas attack me sometimes and I can't shake them, the spiders look at them tastely and my room is full of webs. No I don't live in the basement, my mom told me it was for the washer and dryer, instead I live in the attic but it's cool I can watch them all below and plot my revenge, my revenge against the hamsters that keep the fleas who are eaten by the spiders that web domo kun while wathing ceiling cat. See? it's ok, I don't do much, just hang out, read, play, drink, read again, scratch. Oh and play Go!, I love that game, one time I started drinking, and, well, I forgot how it ended.

I also do weed sometimes.

but sometimes

barely.

 
randomstranger 2008-08-30 11:01:44 PM  
I just skip getting stressed when possible.

Oddly enough, I just got stressed out 5 minutes ago due to a family issue & sent my husband to the package good store for me.

I drink to relive stress. The trick is not to get hammered. Only have 4-5 beers. It relaxes you. Anymore than that may lead to a hang over which leads to subpar performance the next day which in turn leads to you falling even more behind at work or in life which ultimately leads to more stress.

(anything deep enough or complex enough that will distract my brain)
Dancing
Reading (need to pick content carefully)
Someone on ravelry.com is selling stickers and other merchandise "I knit so I don't kill people". The sentiment is well understood, though others have pointed out metal knitting needles are exceptional pain-inducing killing implements.

And every now and then, I have a slothful, spoiling myself rotten day. Wake up when I want, eat what I want, play on the internet for hours, go out and blow a chunk of change on something I want but wouldn't usually allow myself to get, maybe take myself out to a movie.
