When you are stressed, have had a bad day, or worked up about something, what helps you releive yourself and settle down??

I clean. Cleaning does something to me to help me work out what it is that is bothering me. I crank up the music and dance while I am cleaning and usually when I am done all is better and I am ready to talk to someone.

I eat lots of sweets and smoke a lot of cigarettes. :mrgreen:

I stay on my PC .. read something interesting online, watch some of the series I love .. spend time with my dogs

Oh, dogs... Dogs always make me happy

Eating Sweets and smoking lots are not good ways to relieve stress. I know, i am a smoker and tend to smoke more when I am stressed. Also, just thinking about sweets makes me gain five pounds. Reading, writing in forums and spending time with dogs are good ways to relieve stress, but for me, I need a more active approach before I am ready to sit down and talk about it. Keep on doing what is best for helping you relieve stress.
Being women, we definitely need it.

I shop and eat my comfort foods. I also go to salon to get my hair done :wink:

alot of times i yell at some one usually the hubby, i yell about the situation and he listens and after i feel better

i vent on the blog Or i just wait for it to pass... Sometimes i write recipes on my recipes site or if my bf. is home i make sure i fill his head with my stress problems

I'm really stressed right now, my comfort foods doesn't work, so last night I cried it all out.
I felt better today but I still have do be a busy bee because if I'm busy there's no room to be upset
