The best way to calm down

[Nicola]

When you're stressed, upset or mad, what do you do to calm yourself down?

I'm just curious to know how other people deal with it.

[MrGazet]

Write down in a diary.Helped me alot tbh :)

[Shar]

I listen to music to relax me :)

[FlyingJesus]

The term "calm down" doesn't usually apply to me because I'm generally not a hot-headed person, but if I need to change my mood to something more upbeat just stick some psytrance on and have a full on mental dance, pretty much always does the trick

[Catzsy]

Probably have a moan about it to somebody you trust and tell them it's just a rant to get it off your chest. It helps me.

[Sharon]

Talk to people about it on HxF or listen to sad music

[dirrty]

sleeping, **** or music tends suffice positive mood changes :)

[Keri?!]

Music, all the time :)
Especially stuff I can relate to.

Although if I'm angry, I start to hit things, I know I shouldn't but yeah

[Hollie]

i usually go somewhere by myself and think it through or listen to music to calm me down :P

[Meree.]

I either listen to music, or talk to someone who I know understands how I feel.

[Nixt]

I tend to rant at someone or go for a run and push myself, hard. Exercise is a really good reliever of stress.

[buttons]

go for a walk
hate talking to people, feel like i'm putting all my stuff on to them. walking + music (l)

[Richie]

I very rarely do exercise but if I'm angry and i exercise it tends to make me feel relaxed or just really be alone and listen to music

[Rozi]

music n sleep.

or just deal with whatever's bothering me.

[jackass]

Beat someone up.

Nah, I do weights/pull ups. :)

[Smits]

Punch a wall

Play guitar for some time. I can end up playing guitar for hours if I'm that annoyed at something.

[Smits]

If its more than a little bit of anger i'll workout.

[HotelUser]

Either do something to distract myself, like code something, listen to Hans Zimmer music, or just think about things coming up that I have to look forward to :)

Breath in and out like this

[wiktoria]

I go to my room and listen to music :)

[Special]

Think about good things happening, like tomorrow, next weekend or next month. Anything positive really :)

Music helps me a lil bit

[leah]

sometimes i go for a run

[kuzkasate]

I can flip very easily and a tiny tiny little thing can really piss me off a lot. What I do is, just sit by myself for some time and think of ways I could act. I narrow it down to the best possible answers and pick one that I will benefit most from.

[Melsia]

Usually cry, that's how I deal with most things :P obviously not in public though!
I also listen to happy music, eat chocolate and sometimes ride my bike - I think exercise is a good way of calming down.

[dbgtz]

I let it build up until one day I go psyco. Usually though this "meter" of anger is "reduced" by listening to music, smacking something which will not feel it or by sleeping.

[Shar]

go and slit irl

[Meanies]

sleep.

[Stryderman]

Usually go off on my ped or in me civic and go to my cousins or if i cba to drive then normally double up on ****

Interesting to see how everyone else deals with it :)

I tend to sleep or jump around a bit to lively music.

[Abbie.]

i can go through through stages where im unable to eat because ive gotten so stressed, last time i lost a stone and a half, so obv im not very good at managing to calm down lol.

[[Chris]]

Well.. Usually - I just listen to music.. The music i listen to - Metal, Heavy Metal, Metal-Core ect.. Its 'Shouting' music or 'Screamo' But that seems to get rid of the anger.. Like.. Sort of shouts like you want to I dont know.. Its weird :s But yeah..

Music

[Becca]

I usually write it down, then scream into a pillow. Or tell someone, makes me forget it.

[matt$]

Go on xbox and take the piss out of high pitched ppl.

[Volumise]

Go on xbox and take the piss out of high pitched ppl.
might do that one day..


i jst scream or you could always punch things, gets rid of all the anger

[Jamesy]

Find some work to do, stick on music loudly, read a book, veg infront of the telly. Anything that avoids entering into a conflict really.

[Soy]

i cant i usually just break something when im angry

i seem to go ape ****

[Swearwolf]

moan a lot. to myself or whoever, then sit n play loud music

[Blue]

I try to turn whatevers stressed me out into a joke, or listen to music :)

[Mathew]

Er.. I'm a generally calm person and it takes a lot to really anger me. I've never really been properly mad or upset, just because I either accept something or decline it and walk off.

If there is someone being stupid at school though, I'll just moan about them to my friend for a couple of minutes and I'm done :P

[GoldenMerc]
