Everytime I feel like crying because of pressure at work,I buy ice cream. When I hate my boyfriend or we had fight. I'll buy lots of Ice cream and eat them all until the pain is gone. but in exchage I can speak because of tonsilitis. Weird but I just can't live without my Ice cream. It's my pain reliever and stress reliver.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that ice cream is my pain reliever, but I don't know what I would do without it, too! I really like the ice cream with Oreos broken up in it. It's just so good! I like to mix it at home, though. Tasted much better that way.

I like ice cream but I wouldnt say it is a stress reliever for me. It just tastes goood. I eat it when I am happy or sad or when I am in a neutral mood. I just eat it because it tastes good really.

Hello. That's very interesting. Yes, indeed, ice cream gives the cooling sensation. That's how it gives the relieving and relaxing effect to the mind and body I suppose. I do take ice cream once in a while when I feel a bit tired and want to be refreshed. Yes, that works very well. Though I don't take ice cream every day, I keep a bucket of ice cream in my refrigerator.

briyana hi welcome to mylot. I think you will find a lot of us mylotters who love ice cream too and I bet a lot of us use it to relieve stress also.. Its so good and chilled for a sore throat and tonsilitis is really a sore throat.ouch and ouch again. I once a year or so ago had a strept throat and it was so painful only cold water and cold ice cream stopped the pain. Of course because it was a bacterial infection my doctor had put me on antibiotics as well but the cold water and the icecream were all I ate for several days and of course I took the medications too. boy was that painful.

I like ice cream a lot but it's not worth for me as an stress reliever. Also in winter I don't enjoy much eating cold things. What works for me is chocolate. Seems that the things that help us when we feel bad are always sweet!
