What do you do to unwind? Do you get stressed out easily? How do you like to relax?

i open my window and scream. i wonder if those lil boys who ride scooters ran away home crying.

LOL!

so that was YOU!

you should scream out your window, it makes me cry

I yell at people when I need to relax... Especially Gwen.

teh heh 😛

Funny replies 😛

Okay, well, personally, I try to get as far away from people as I can when I get stressed out because I tend to have this thing called a "hair trigger" as far as my temper is concerned when I'm stressed. So usually, I go in my bedroom and shut the door, and do one or all or any combination of the following: burn incense and candles, listen to a cd which reflects how I'm feeling (Marilyn Manson still does it for me when I'm in a really angry mood...don't worry, it actually makes me *less* angry. lol)...but usually I put on relaxing music like DMB or "Rock Spectacle" by the Barenaked Ladies (suprisingly, a very mellow and well-done live album!). Anyway, to avoid snapping at people when I'm stressed, I try to avoid them, and if I can't avoid them, I just don't talk.

I become quiet and try to stay away from people too! But, for some reason it bugs them when I am quiet and they try to get me to talk and then I have to hit them and it becomes really ugly...
so, then I open a window and scream!

OK...so, it is all true up until the part where "I have to hit them"...

I meditate, burn incense...listen to music, unless even that makes me feel sensory overloaded...when that happens, I take an aromatherapy bath by candlelight and sip a glass of wine as I recline in the tub!

Stress is an every day thing for most..so, I try to be realistic...eat healthy, (lately that is!), drink plenty of water, exercise regularly and all that other jazz...
I love yoga and used to do it regularly, but, for some reason, I let it slip away from my daily routine...I really need to reinstate yoga into my life...
Then maybe my sanity will return!

when i'm stressed out i contort my face into something that looks like a monster and start saying "grr" all the time while pulling at my hair. I'm serious. Sometimes though my subconcious comes in and i kill people in my dreams. humor always helps.

LOL Gwen! Humor does always help!

yep... i'm always here at dxp when i'm stressed out... which is why i'm always here.

Interesting answers everyone!
