I'm doing a last second essay, post how you deal with stress.
If you don't post often post your gender.
avoid it
I tell myself what ever happens I can handle it somehow.
I find a way to handle it.
No matter how much stuff i have to do, i put it till the last minute. Work fast, do great, and then am relieved.
I guess its a pattern.
music
or just eliminating the cause of stress if possible
I stopped caring. Seriously, once I started mellowing out on things that normally stressed me out, I became a new person. I started realizing how much shit did not matter. There was a long time that I was dealing with all of that...
thats billy mays...isn't it?
1. listen to music
2. sleep
listening to music hardly ever works, but it lulls me to sleep. and by the time i wake up it usually takes me an hour or two to realize how shitty life is, and things such as my day sucking become trivial because i can't remember how it sucked.
i bitch and complain then go and listen to music
I kind of have an existential worldview and don't typically consider things beyond what they are in the current moment (which is not to say I have no regard for consequences and the future but this is not the place for a treatise on it)... this results in a lot of apathy and a lot of passive observation, and I can honestly say that I am almost never stressed. I have felt it, though, in the case of major life events and dramatic interpersonal emotional things and such, and generally I just calm myself and mentally distance myself from the conflict (light meditation), assure myself that it doesn't matter (which it usually doesn't), and listen to music
Listen to music or play Burnout
I very rarely get stressed. When I do get stressed, it's usually other people making me aware that I probably should be stressed. You know what works like magic? A good cry.
YEAH I SAID IT.

and then puff puff
vodka lol
Usually do something competitive, like play a sport or something
It seems to just fade off me
I listen to music
Old solution: self abuse and panic attacks
New solution that doesn't work: stay up late doing "fun" things on the internet, just sort of sitting and letting time pass by without actually getting any rest, depriving me of sleep and making the next day work.
New solution that works: organize fucking everything I have to do, not give myself any free time and just do everything, playing piano, constructing sets for plays, talking to an old friend, sitting on the ground and singing / talking to myself / listening to music / writing until I feel better, get out of my school clothes...
I wouldn't need these many methods if I didn't have so much pressure that I embrace, and pressure that is put upon me.

Oh hey I love that one
Homicide. The death screams of a man just flush the stress right out.
i don't really get stressed.
probably because i couldn't handle it if i did.
I never really used to, but the last six months have been pretty heavy.
If I ever get too flummoxed, I usually just go for a walk to mellow.
Manly determination.

Also listening to relaxing music and napping.
