What do you do when you get stressed? I usually draw, or play with my hair...try to watch TV, or not think about it.

I go to my happy place,or I take 10 or 15 deep breaths.

Um, there is no way I can relieve stress and then I just completely lose it at random times. Trust me. I have permission in a majority of my classes that if I feel like I'm going to lose it, I can just walk out for a couple of minutes.

I somtimes play on the computer to take it all the way off.

There is, I think, one thing. And that's play or compose music, I guess. But lately people have been trashing on me and my music so I've been off of that. The only 2 instruments out of 11 I really play is saxophone and guitar.

Probably music. Being able to play musical instruments have its own advantage, very efficient in relieving my stresses since I don't have anything else better to do beside working with my clients

Without stress my life would be empty, :lol:

, I just read, draw, play video games or watch a DVD....or listen to music.

It depends what kind of stress. If I'm stressed when I'm working (schoolwork, that is) then I usually talk to someone about it. Share my stress out a little. If I'm stressed because of parents I sit in my room and listen to music. If I'm just stressed in general then yeah, either music or I take Archie out for a really long walk.

At school, a couple of my friends and I now go on "Deep and Meaningful Walks" where we walk aimlessly around the school discussing things that are worrying us. It helps a lot.

watch my favorite movie or show
