How to deal with stress?

[bte]

I've been stressed out lately with my personal life. Just wondering how people on this site deals with stress. Any suggestions are helpful.

Ganja
Oral Sex
Vodka (very cold)
Call of Duty or ArmA2
Will Farrell movie

Basically distraction, intoxication or both.

Alcohol, masturbation, thinking up way to kill all the people i dislike (you ought to try it, it's very therapeutic...just don't put it into practice)!

not ignoring the stress factors, but actually thinking them through. whether its considering the worst outcome and how youll be able to deal with it, or realizing how you will go through with it.
it all depends on the situation...no idea what youre up against

Ok warning this is serious advice as opposed to my usual everythings a joke... etc and shit like that

The above is basiscally CBT, good advice. "cognitive behavioral therapy"

It is extremely worth looking into this and helping yourself deal with stress, anxiety etc. The mind is very powerful but you can help yourself, sure drugs,drink and other distractions seem to help and are more fun but they are not really the answer, nor really is being prescribed legal drugs, they have been proven less effective in the UK which is why the NHS vastly increased the amount of CBT trained people in the system via the Primary Care Trust. It helped me a lot. I realise you guys do stuff differently but I would assume this method is popular over the pond as well

Meditation - it's free and doesn't necessarily require any equipment.

Find a tranny on CL and fuck the shit out of her....betwen the search and all the bs before you found someone, the stress is gone, you just want to stick it on her
But you can listen to music too
