(Vote): Something completely different than the two choices i mentioned



Just like many of you, I have to deal with school, life and work. Some people, like me, like to get all that stress out through some physical/verbal manner and then go do the task that needs to be done.

Others, somehow, manage to deal with stress in their own "nice" way and finish the job without needing to get all that rage and frustration out of their system.

I'm doing this internship, which i think is pretty stupid ( dont really have any other choice but to do it), and I keep getting: "stop ranting. i need you to look at this internship in a positive manner. don't focus on the negatives. just keep going at it."

For those of you that are curious, i basically have to go door-to-door at 9am in the morning (8am today...) and try and get people to get a free paint estimate on the weekends.

I'm a pretty pessimistic person in general, and I know my perspective is never going to change. It's hard to get me to see the glass as half full when I'm saying "but I drank half of my beer, so there is only half of it left." It's just been the way I've dealt with stress for the longest time, and it's (unfortunately) worked for me my entire life...sort of. The results I get aren't the best, but at least I get shit done.

How do you guys deal with stress? Do you think you'll ever be able to deal with it in a different way?

i am not voting because I don't want to disturb that perfect balance.
I tend to just listen to music and think positive to not get overly depressed.
I am a very pessimistic person as well but it doesn't mean I can't live my days happily

Releasing anger via some kind of physical or verbal means has actually shown to cause you to hang on to your unpleasant emotion far longer, as well as decrease your ability to handle stressful situations in the future.

Stress is something I have been fighting with a lot lately as I have been in the process of recovering from two broken legs for 10 months now while I fought through complications and infection. Now I'm trying to start my first term at college and adjust to new living conditions while trying to be the rock for a dad recovering from cancer, a best friend who is bi-polar and has relapses that cause him to become dangerous and be hospitalized, a brother in jail(he is in the hole at the moment) and a grandmother who is slipping further into dimentia and alzheimers and will soon have to move to a home because we can't continue to care for her.

Had what was close to a mental breakdown a few weeks back dealing with everything. Weed has been my primary functioning tool, as it was the only thing that really calmed me down. But recently I have been trying to reduce stress in my daily life as well, and I would suggest doing the same if it's something your struggling with.

I should've included substances as part of the rage option or as a 4th option lol...

Some people go through way more stressful things than I could ever imagine myself going through, and that makes me feel bad for being so stressed out about something as stupid as door-to-door marketing. I'm sorry that you have to go through that all that shit =(

I'm actually pretty surprised there's a majority of people who feel the need to physically/verbally deal with stress if those are honest votes.

I can see that being the case with anger. I've blurted out spiels of cursing at least a few times, always in private though.

In most cases, for stress it's just the gym for me and trying to stay optimistic.

Meditation is one of the more peaceful ways of letting off steam and to warp your way of thinking, decreasing negative thoughts to make space for positive ones.

Each person has their own way of dealing with stress, but coping mechanisms can trick us into thinking that those are the methods most effective for us individually, while in actual fact they are detrimental to our health

I try to avoid stress as much as possible. Sometimes when I am too stressed from something I "have to" do, I just give up and let it fail. The consequences are usually less dire than that of working under too much stress.

I jog regularly; if i'm well rested it turns into sprinting laps. Try it, you will be amazed by how effective it is.

Feeling guilty for being stressed was one of the biggest obstacles I had to overcome when I tried to deal with it.

I come from a military background, and many of my friends have seen and done some terrible things. I would always compare my experiences to those of someone else and tell myself "if they can deal with that, what I'm doing is nothing."

I had to finally realize that what they did or what they saw doesn't matter. It only matters what I am going through, and if you can't accept it you won't change it. Never judge your stress relative to anyone else, and absolutely do not feel guilty.
