When I am stressed I will usually play violent video games on the X-box and slaughter all things that get in my way,especially on games such as Halo,Halo 2 and Hitman:Blood Money,because when I slaughter people it makes me feel less stressed.

if i dont have the budget to go to the spa i take a shower and use a camomille body wash. i always save that for a not so good day. it keeps me feel okay. i also grab a good cup of coffee and watch a good movie on the dvd. i always watch something funny so i can forget how stressed i am. i make sure i am sitting in a comfy chair and enjoying. i also take a bite of a chocolate if i feel stress

i smoke, a lot. and apparently (at least according to my family lol) i cuss like a sailor LOL! occasionally i give washing the dishes a try, but more often than not i end up dropping things over and over, which of course makes me madder, which makes me cuss, then i go smoke another cig.

Hello friend. When I am stressed, I usually surf the Internet, go to my favorite and quiet dam to relax my stressed mood. Or I sleep without desiring to see anyone.

i used to watch drama but it just gets me more stressed. lol.. i've recently watched a documentary and a study showed that when a person is stressed and watches drama, he becomes more stressful as compared to one that watched comedy because it makes one more relaxed. thanks for your insights! Ü

I will listen to soft gentle music, that does not have vocals or voices. I will go outside where it is quiet to. I love silence, it heals my stress better than noisy areas. Sometimes, I will take a nap, and just sleep my stress off.

I usually go on silent mode when I'm under stress. I'd be oblivious to everything around me like am in some vacuum. My friends at work would easily notice it so they would rather leave me alone which is just fine with me.

I use to manage stress, listening musiq, playing violen and i like chocolates, and i feel i get refreshed after having my chocolates. And best remedy is Meditation, try breathing exercise, it will help you balance and handle stress.
