I rarely get stressed out, but when i do - the only two things that work are physical exhaustion (buy a punching bag if you feel aggressive/confrontational while stressed, much better than punching the wall) or a beautiful pair of eyes to drown in.

One of my favorite ways to de-stress is watching progames of BW but now it seems that BW is the main cause of my stress Today.

Being an introverted anime fanatic myself I know where you're coming from when you try to cope with stress.

Relationships are just too much of a bother, getting high and drinking doesn't really help either even with friends. You've got a pretty good list already, I can't really think of anything to add to it. Usually you can figure out the best way to de-stress yourself based on what you like doing the most.

For me it'd probably be watching my favorite comedy anime and having a good laugh. During college I would go out for long long walks in Boston by myself while listening to music. One of the most relaxing moments I've had in my life doing that. I can't really describe why, but it's just so great to walk around and let your worries drift off while you take in the scenery.

Heya Never,

This may not at all be an option, but have you considered moving back home? You feel like an outsider in Korea, don't speak much of the language, have no intention of learning, and worry about fitting in. So... dunno if this is inappropriate to ask, but what keeps you over there? I was under the impression that you weren't doing your old job of photography for the BW community anymore?

Since you seem to be stuck in a rut, perhaps a big change is in order?

My experience with stress is that it is almost all self imposed. For instance I don't think you can be stressed if your mind is blank, like in meditation. To be stressed you have to be thinking about a lot of things that make you stressed. The things people are mentioning are activities that let them forget about the things that stress them out, but I imagine a lot of them quickly fill up with stress again once the activity is over. What you have to remember is that the stress isn't real, it's just in your head. If you can forget about it by distracting yourself, you can make it disappear by just forgetting about it any other time.

I suggest becoming organized with what you want to be doing with your time. Organize your thoughts too. You're only stressing yourself out.
