How do you manage stress?

Question

Dexius · Accepted Answer

Unfortunately I'm a stress-crier. Just makes my eyes burn though. What I try to do is handle what's making me stressed. Deadline coming up? Work out a plan to get it done without overloading yourself. Stress with people in your life? Ask for time to calm down. Just general anxiety or stress? Escapism for a brief amount of time. Like playing a game or browsing the internet. Writing a story or drawing a picture also helps me sometimes.

I cry under the blanket. Not kiddin'. 😅 That's what I did a day before my first exam at university.
Now, to really give you an advice, try working out, or reading something you enjoy or listen to peaceful music. Breathe fresh air.

A little drug called Lamotrigine. I take it for Bipolar Disorder. But I refer to it as my 'IDGAF Prescription' because I literally stop giving a fuck about stressful things when I take it.

I deal with it in several ways. Sometimes I go to a quiet place to blow off some steam. Sometimes taking a nap helps. Sometimes talking to a close friend can work wonders also.

I walk 4-6 miles every day. I focus when walking and try not to think of anything, just focus and use it for a meditation type period. It helps release stress, plus is good for me physically!

I meditate. Turn off sound on all devices and turn off all screens, close my eyes, and think about something relaxing and calm (I think about waves breaking on a beach).

Idonotgivearatsass · Answer

Stress is mostly a mental state, so if you're good with mind over matter you pretty much alleviate stress from your life without ever getting stressed. I have no need to manage stress because I don't suffer from stress.
