I dunno, but I think I'm starting to feel sick from an external source of stress. I can't stop the thing that's stressing me though.

I dunno, but I think I'm starting to feel sick from an external source of stress. I can't stop the thing that's stressing me though.If you've accepted that you can't change it, then just jack off a lot (or get laid, if possible) and forget your troubles.

Do you need to see a therapist, or do you just need to figure out ways to relax?

It's not me that's the problem. It's a problem I have tried to fix over the months and I cannot fix it. And I have enough problems in my life than to deal with this annoying problem.

I've been through this before often. I've actually been close enough to where my doctor thought I had a heart attack, but that's a whole different story. What I did to get rid of the stress was spend a lot of time with my friends, the people who care about me the most, and have lots of fun (bowling, laser tag, video games, etc). Your friends should know how to cheer you up.

Good luck with whatever is on your mind though. Try not to think about it too much.

Well I'd really like to get away. Hang out with friends and such. Problem is, I have to stay home and babysit the brother. Which is the whole problem itself.

Think of silly hypothetical questions than go around asking people them, the resulting conversations should be funny and interesting, and you'll get to see things from new perspectives... I'll start you out and hijack the thread:

Who would win in a fight; a man with a sledgehammer and peg legs, or a man with a foam covered nerf bat?

I concur. :D

Just grab a gun, and then shoot a pillow. If one pillow dead doesn't help, shoot another pillow. That always works for me.

Whenever I feel all stressed out I do one of three things.

1. Close all of the curtains & blinds, light a bunch of candles, and play the cello.

2. I cook, and I cook a lot.....

3. Beat the stuffing out of my punching bag, or practice my weaponry on dummies.

If you can do either of those, then do it, because it always seems to work for me.

I'm never stressed, I'm way too apathetic to dwell on anything or becomes stressed.

However, I find blowing things up is good fun and can cheer anyone up.
But you have to have access to a big open space for this.

When I’m stressing over something (which is rare), I simply consciously acknowledge that it isn’t accomplishing anything and the feeling subsides. Everything’s gonna be all right, and if it isn’t, I can deal with it.

The best ways I've found for beating stress:

1. Making love.

2. Driving in a Car Race (amateur, vintage class). Most effective when I win.

3. Neutralizing the object/person causing me stress by laughing at it/them. Takes away it's/their power over me.

4. Smoking a great big fat bowl of weed, preferably Wheelchair Weed

5. Dancing

6. Martial Arts

7. Finding somewhere far away from anyone a screaming my head off for a few minutes

yay for apathy!


and i agree with New Fubaria... when you feel stressed just light up a nice joint and all your worries will float away :)

Music, good music always helps...

You could get some of your friends to write to you or drop by...

Good luck :fluffle:

There is a form of martial art called Chi Kung

It is absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend this.

Reject your source of stress.

Yeah, this can mean walking out of some situation, leaving people behind and spending a couple of months living in a tent in a forest. Meh. Sometimes you just have to.

There was a great little story in the news a couple of years ago, a head teacher at a school here in the UK disappeared on his way to work. His family did TV appeals and everything...he turned up a few days later safe and well in a guesthouse in another part of the country. Apparently, he was driving to work and missed his exit...and just kept going. He just didn't care about the job any more.

Better that than an early death.

EDIT: And I do have personal experience with this, last year I was deeply depressed about a whole load of life circumstances, and near the deadline of a project I was doing, handed in a two-page letter of complaint instead. Things got better. ;)

I agree with tactical grace. Just let go of the thing that's bothering you. I did it and life still sucked big time, but in a better way, because i finding new ways to do things. Things will only get better if you take action. Waiting never works.

Martial arts in general were always relaxing for me that may be a possibility


I personally do not get stressed out much over anything … it is a strength and a weakness lol

Make a few jokes. Strike up a conversation. Read a book. Those are my suggestions.

See this? This is damn good advice. This is exactly what I would have said if I were nearly as coherent as Tactical Grace.

Well, ok, I would have included more rambling tangents. But what Tactical Grace wrote is much better. Go reread that.

I can add one thing that I can hope might help a bit more; if something is stressing you out to the point where it's making you physically ill, absolutely nothing you can do to remove the stress (as opposed to deal with the stress) can possibly be any worse than putting up with what's causing the stress. It might feel worse at the time, but it really isn't.

Anyone who follows some of my posts will know my solution. Drink alot and have alot of sex, til the stressor goes away.

You wana know some good ways to cure stress? My personal favourites...

1. Pillows are evil, they must all die in various and humerous ways. i.e, buy a rocket (you know the ones, comes in 3 pieces with a take off stand and such, about 5 feet tall...) Duct tape pillow or efegee(sp?) to it and press the go button.

2. Cookies are evil, chew them to death.

3. Get the Simon and Garfunkle CD out and play it real loud. Calm music, but ear bludgeningly loud will confuse your brain so much you may die.

4. Get drunk and go to your nearest church for confession.

5. Enjoy other intoxicating substances...

Be stressed on my ultimate vacation week? It would be such a shame!
