Things that Cope your Stress/ Depression

Hi NokiaN70...Usually when I am feeling stressed, I have to do something to take my mind off the situation and concentrate on something else. A good shopping trip helps. Probably just more so the walking around. Getting on the internet and playing games or talking here on mylot helps a lot. I would say getting on the computer is probably what I do most. I tend to blank out everything around me when im on here..I try not to resort to eating, because usually afterwards you feel like crap for doing it. Another escape for me is to swim. I love the water and the freedom it makes you feel. Its very relaxing and refreshing. Definately, if I had an indoor pool, that would be the answer! I think I should have been born a dolphin!

when am depressed /stresses i would like to eat chocolates and like to watch old classic and ever green movies...to come out of it...

yeah eating is my thing as well as smoking. but i try to not to deal with certain things because i am a person who don't deal well with stress and depression well i suffer from pmd

I center on my breathing, and you are doing this if you sing, in order to sing you must control your breath. I try to quite my mind, because that is where the stress comes from. no matter what is happening around you it's how you react that allows the stress. Good question

I look for different ways to relax. Sometimes it's watching tv or movies; sometimes it's listening to music or spending time outdoors. Relaxing with friends is good. Depression is another matter. I look for the source and then it dissipates once I have awareness of the situation.
