Default How do you handle stress?

I'm learning that I get BAD headaches when I'm stressed out. I'm starting to figure out that whenever I get stressed/pissed, I get a BAD headache that makes me want to throw up. When the stressful situation goes away, my headache goes away. I think it has more to do with my neck. I can't relax my neck when I'm stressed and I'm pretty sure that's what causes the headaches.

I had a friend who would throw up for days when he gets stressed. It got so bad that he had to take butt-pills to prevent him from puking so he could eat. I guess I should be happy with my headaches because I'd rather not puke for days at a time.

How do you handle stress?

It depends what kinda situation your in.. Yelling or punching things works. Start going to a boxing ring and going all out on the bag with yelling like braveheart. If your a blue collar worker you can explain to your co-workers that you have to yell out on occasion or you can have some physical or heart problems associated with stress.

I work contruction so I can beat ---- with hammers and drill big ------- holes with oversized drills. I don't get that pissed/stressed at work though. It's mostly at home with bills and money and other ----. I just need to win the lottery.

Aleve and tylenol PM get me by. The shittiest thing is waking up with the same headache you went to bed with.

Dude, take a trip out to the mountains and just chill with a 6 pack. Best stress relief is nature man

Or cranberry juice, if its that kind of stress

Punching bag, or do what I did last week, I had a metal rod and a pile of cardboard boxes and I just let loose on all of them. So much for packing that day

And honestly, if I get really angry at people in general and don't feel like flipping out I go and work on one of my cars. Very good stress reliever

I get 1 day a week off and I don't have the energy to take a trip to the mountains. :P It's like 115* outside right now and I'm not about to be out in that ---- any longer than I have to. Not sure what you mean about the cranberry juice though. I do drink plenty of juices.

I would end up stabbing myself in the gut somehow and get stuck with a $2500 hospital bill and be all stressed out over that. :P
