Stress

[nailit]

How do other AB'ers manage stress?
I often just shut the door, turn the phone off, light a few candles, stick a bit of 'chillin' music on and bury myself in a book for the night.
Other times, after a particular stressing situation or day, about the only thing that does it for me is a half bottle of vodka or a few cans of super lager...not good!
Curious as to how others on here cope with stress.
Thanks.

meant put this in body and soul, never mind. Chatterbanks as good a place as any.

When I'm stressed the only thing I want to do is sleep, my brain just shuts down.

Wish my brain would Rocky, that why I drink :-(

[rockyracoon]

I'm glad it does as I think I could easily hit the bottle.

[nailit]

That raises an interesting question Rocky, why does one persons brain 'switch off' and anothers go in to overdrive?

If you had asked me this a year ago I'd of told you that 1/2 a bottle of vodka wouldn't be enough. 2 litres maybe. I just don't sleep now until I'm in such a state that I can't keep awake.

Nailit, I'm having a glass or two of red wine, then going to bed!

When I'm stressed, I walk. I put my trainers on and go.

[scorpiojo]

^ me too

Tilly2: If I had such a beautiful dog as yours I'd be walking all the time, with her.

[nailit]

Have looked at Tilly's dog a time or to actually and tried to work out what breed it is. Looks a bit like my ex's dog. I really miss her (the dog that is)

[flump1]

I am a bottler, I bottle it all up and don't cope well at all! It makes me worse but that's just the way I am !

[Tilly2]

You should know she's a Staffie, Nailit. There must be loads of them in your part of the world.

[Marijn]

I don't cope with stress very well. I try to distract myself with something particularly rubbishy on TV, not something I have to give my proper attention to.

[nailit]

LOL Tilly, that explains it. My ex's dog was a staffie/ lab cross.
I cant see to well because ive had a vodka or two cuz im stressed..........

[woofgang]

I deal with whatever or whoever is stressing me.

[murraymints]
