come on... school's back and there are a lot of things in our minds... how do you cope up with stress? depression sinks in and takes over and we're back in the same dump... yeah... it sucks, right? so, i was just wondering... how do you handle stress and what do you do when you feel down?

I watch anime ^_^

I'm playing with my pet, my cute cat. Animals can help me to reduce my stress in work.^ ^
meow

scream out loud towards my pillow or eat chocolate.. muahahaha...

yeah... but what if you don't have any anime videos around?

I just kill...

If you don't like it then just mind your own business. If you want to know how I kill...

Forget it...

Me? Well, I dont have school stress, never really did. However, WORK stress...oooooh yeah.

I watch anime, throw in a good FPS or log into MXO and go kill people, light up a few cigs, make a wallpaper...hell, when the weather`s not obscenely hot and Im not sore from work I even go walk the dogs.

The school year has apparently not begun for our university over here, which will probably take - oh about 2 and a half more months before registration is complete, if I can recall. **Checks her watch** Yes, that is affirmative.

In any case, and back on topic, the usual thing I do to handle stress is pretty much to sleep it over, which works nearly 95% of the time, but evidently if that doesn't help out much at all, I normally grab a plastic bat made out of styrofoam and furiously smack the heck out of an antique television set, though it hardly makes a scratch. I know - it's funny to think about it, but hey - sometimes it works.

I never have to worry about being completely stressed though, especially as of recent, even though there are tons of paperwork and things to be done in store for the future. Being stressed isn't something I evidently take much into consideration, apparently since I don't have much anxiety or stress at all and I get things done and pushed out of the way, in a routinely fashion. Besides, fun is all I need to get back into the happy times, you know. Yaya! **Tips her hat**

i usually cope with stress by writing out a plan or making a mental plan in my head of things that i need to do for school or work. it helps me feel like i'm in control and that i can pace myself to get things done in a timely manner. but sometimes i'm stupid and i just procrastinate and put things off because i can't deal with my stress at that time...like i'll just watch t.v. to get my mind off of my problems. my fave t.v. shows are a great escape for me...

just sleep or stare the wall.........

Stress, I will go out and take a walk, of coz will eat ice cream in the same time.

My first instinct would be to sleep, take a long warm bath, or just lie down on the couch, watch tv, or eat ice cream.

I either start draiwng or writing. That usually helps to calm me down. Or take a long hot shower in the dark.

Minitokyo!!! ^^ Haha...or video games...
But there's only so much time for those. I'd also sleep, but usually I'd just do some leisure reading when I'm too stressed to sleep... ^^

i sleep.. go in a deep slumberzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzz

it's either sleep or watch anime.

I just sleep or surf the internet

Listen to music : fast music (pop, dance, anything rhythmic).

Anime or video games works me.

I sleep, play DDR or another game, or ... I use photoshop.

I don't go back to school until August!!! but I just either sleeping or listen to some music!!My favorite music to listen to when I'm stressed is Linkin Park I don't know why but they do help!!!^__^

Playing video games where you kill people. Good enough to fix everyone...if you can kill them Go get a stress ball
I go to some place where it is relaxing and quiet like the forest, watch anime, kill people (games)
I wanna bike to the beach!
