How do you relieve stress.?

[Laura J]

Greetings, 
So how do you relieve stress when you've had a bad day, or are in a Bad mood.?

Hot bubble baths are good... Or sometimes when I'm angry, frustrated, sad or dealing with some other negative emotion, I find putting on my headphones and listening to some similarly themed music loudly while wandering around the house helps me work out my emotions. Sometimes going for a walk is good for sorting out your thoughts and feelings. Just being alone with your thoughts.

I lean on all of you like my life was at stake. Which it is.

By doing anything that breaks the cycle. Doing something that I enjoy or being with someone I like. Looking to distract myself and to help another. To exercise, to rest, to read, to listen to music, to kayak, to swim, to lie on the beach, to garden, to work on a project, to watch sport ... to spend time with you all...

Safe travels

the best thing to do when in a bad mood is to find some music that matches the feeling and listen until it starts to dissipate.
can't really interact properly with people in a bad mood, it's impossible. i'll want to kill people just for existing if i don't withdraw soon enough.
masturbation and sleep (10 min is enough) also helps. kind of resets my brain.

but the only thing that really fixes things is to just stay away from people for long enough.
how long depends on how badly stressed out i am.
take the time to feel myself and be alone with my thoughts.

I go full transition presentation and get on forum. In the car, lots of trans phone time.

Prayer...

Action movies

Sex.

I used to relieve stress by doing copious amounts of masturbation daily, another way to relieve stress would be to have lots of sex and violence in my dreams as a form of outlet.

Playing video games, sewing/creating outfits/plushies, drawing/sketching, listening to music, daydreaming, therapy(!) and spending time on the forums here have been recent effective ways of managing stress for me. Like Pikachu, I do love a hot bubble bath

oh, last friday i went to a hiphop concert to relieve stress.
saw a poster on my way to the pharmacy to buy something, and wondered what kind of play would be called "gode ord dør sist (good words die last)". turned out it wasn't a play at all when i asked, but couldn't help wanting ro hear some real local hiphop by people who call themselves something that positive.

their songs gave me enough strength to get through yet another day of ridiculously bad conflicts. it was even worse than "over there", and i couldn't even snap at anyone because i'm on the leader board of that organization and thus very legally responsible for any idiocy that certain members will commit in the name of this organization.

i don't get how people can call themselves christian when they do as shady things as those ones have.

and yet another way to relieve stress. ranting to friends who may be able to understand, and are supportive even if they don't.

It's the people. That's a big part of it. Drives me nuts. They miss the whole point of why he came.

I will open a Christianity thread later.

The best stress reliever ever is to do a brief overview of my past life as I strip naked in front of the full length mirror and consider the extreme changes to my physiology and realize that it's only the surficial part, that there is in fact so much more in terms of internal changes. By this time all stressful mental images are usually gone. Then I hop in the shower and run it hot and long, in spite of my age I'll have to admit to indulging in some rather exciting auto erotica, then if any stress persists, I can cry out loud like a baby in the shower with the water and exhaust fan running only God can hear me and it's soon gone!

Any heart pounding exercise will do for me but a vigorous hike is my most frequent choice theses days

[Whisper]

becoming sarcastic and critical
yell (rarely)
throw stuff (my own)
sex or self sexual release
taking a walk

Abusing an SG with the overdrive turned up as far as it will go and sound good and dark riffs just improving. Two or three hours and the stress just falls away. Don't even play anything specific. I got stuff written down that one day I really need to put together.

Motorcycle rides.
Spinning (yarn.)
