How do you deal with stress?

I get stressed too from my job; I work as a cook, so stress builds up fast. Well what I usually do is listen to some music, watch some tv too and drink your favorite beverage. Hopes this helps.

I tend to run to food when I am stressed usually sweet and chocolate. It is a bad habit but at least I am usually not that stressed out. I'm sure I could find a better way to cope but sweets taste so good.

It may be weird. But I found that fusioncash and other sites like it have helps to keep my mind off of unnecessary things. I guess there are more benefits to these sites than we know!

I go for a walk (while listening to music) ...it really helps

I second the above.  Going for a good walk while listening to music definitely helps.  So does working with my hands (for me, anyway).

I remarked not long ago that I wanted the T-shirt that says, "I knit so I don't killl people."  Someone who overheard me remarked that her grandmother had had five children; she used to quilt in the summer and crochet in the winter--and her grandmother said  this was the only reason all five of her children had reached adulthood.  So--there's something to this business of keeping something in your hands as often as possible.

I dont always deal with stress the way I should.
However, for the most part I deal with stress by
talking about it to my close friends. I also read, take
walks and talk to God. Sometimes, I try to relax but
that is one thing I have a hard time doing.

I surf the web, listen to music, drink water, exercise...

My doctor prescribes medication for me. If it wasn't for my doctor I don't know how I would deal with my stress.

Nawwww I don't think edging the grass is weird.  My husband is a landscaper and when he's working he'd his least stressed.  It's practically like meditating for him.  I used to decorate cakes and would loose all track of time.  I would walk away feeling NO stress...I moved out of the bakery department when I blew out my elbow and before even went to work I was stressed...It was crazy. I haven't really figured a new outlet that's allows me to release as decorating did.

Cool, when I'm stressed or sad I go out and buy myself something and I feel much better, of course if I have no money well I have no other destress solution.

I tend to do an incredibly exerting exercise that burns all my energy. I actually found out that I can push my limits this way as the stress gradually turns to adrenaline that I convert into energy.  It's actually a great exercise motivator.  Otherwise, I would simply force my mind to think of nothing and just let time pass.

The way I deal with stress is listening to jazz. It seems to soothe the mind and the soul. It's a good mood changer.

My favorite way to beat stress is talking to my friends. No matter what, they will find some way to relate and we laugh about it.

Clean, or darken the room... throw on some Ozzy and mellow out!
