     OP - December 15, 2010, 09:04 PM
    how do YOU deal with it?

    do you smoke? drink? cry for release? punch stuff?

    Are you good with stress, bad with stress, what do you do when you feel all caraaaaazy compressed like a jar of mustard you really wished was more full so you could make yourself a sandwich. Do you like mustard?

    Tell meeeeee

    I envy those who genuinely thrive under stress.

    When a stressful situation just hits me out of nowhere, I usually go into denial and escapism and inevitably fail at whatever I'm supposed to be stressed about.

    Though when I can anticipate a possibly stressful time coming (mainly exams), I do what I can to prevent getting stressed (get all OCD about my scheduling, revise way ahead, feel superior to everyone else, avoid risky relationships, and run non-stop like Forest Gump).

    Do something else.
    Really.

    Even if it's boring, it will eventually lead to yet another thing, and end up with something interesting enough to take (some_ of the stress away (if not the problem). And come back later to the problem - without the stress.

    Of course it doesn't work so simply, but the point I'm trying to make is that some/many stress-causing problems might look in a different light (that is, you may have a little more bearable perspective) after your mind was given some time off it, assuming that's possible at all.

    I do something special on Friday afternoons. The rest of the week I hang around with the gang, we ride our bikes on the pavement, set light to our pubes, steal, lie, break things, smoke fags down to the butt, draw nobs on models in SKY Magazine, punch people and sometimes we cruise into the McDrive-in of McDonalds and order a McSpunk shake, then we call them McCunts and McPetrol bomb the McFucking joint. But on Friday afternoon I go with my friend Gavin the fleabag! I never tell anyone where I am, sometimes I say I'm going to see my gynaecologist, then no one probes me because something smells fishy. My special time with Gavin is spent pressing flowers, prancing, playing doctors and nurses, mending things, listening to The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway by Genesis, crying, playing blow football and sometimes we go out to the back garden with no pants on and jump over the garden sprinkler. When I'm with my friends and I see Gavin, I blank him.
    Too fucking busy, and vice versa.

    i just sit down and work. i suppose i 'thrive' under stress, but i dunno, it depends on the stress. if it's stress from working then i just chill and deal with it, if it's emotional stress then i suppose i thrive but in a different way, as i work to get it off my chest rather than to relieve it.

    I usually pick one of these at random: Fresh air, punching inanimate objects in a controlled manner, chill with friends, exercise, listen to music. Or just drink. Tongue

    Other-- combination of Options 2, 3 and 5.

    I perform really well under stress.

    If I have control of the situation, I take leadership and get shit done, though frequently having fits of anger where I throw shit around or punch things, and during such times I'm frequently prone to panic attacks when I have down-time and try to relax. But the job gets done.

    If I don't have control of the situation, and nothing is harmed by freaking out, I freak out. If there are consequences to freaking out, I simply shut down my emotions, become icy cold, sleep a lot and perform mundane tasks. I learned that during my first arrest.

    So it depends entirely on what the situation causing the stress is, but I generally find a way to deal with it.

    Stress isn't a problem for me-- depression is. The former can motivate me but the latter only paralyzes me.

    I deal with stress in a way i find effective, if a situation arises that is stressing me that i know can be dealt with, i maintain the mindset that im actively working on the problem and eventually it will be through with that alone is good enough to chill my stress. On the other hand if its a nagging stress that i know can't be dealt with in a timely manner i am prone to punch and break shit and let emotions get the best of me.

    Ahhh, the holidays. Stress free temporarily.

    though, i was just taking a nap--i had a vague dream that I got my test back and i got 71% (the horror, i know ~_~) and i woke up and thought it was 5 am dance good stuff. So yeah, when im stressed i have weird dreams where the equation of something is running through my head and im doing random math problems subconsciously.

    I have ptsd and if I get triggered, stress can really take me places that are
    very dangerous to go. A little bite of a magic brownie, and I
    turn on the tube, laugh, reassure myself it will be okay, and sleep like a
    baby, with NO nightmares.  Stress brings on serious nightmares for me,
    then when I wake up freaking out, I can't go back to sleep.
