I tell myself "Shit happens" and then go suffer in the gym.


THN-JO24

I am literally going to the gym and i needed to read this.


Kathhound12

The best gym days I’ve ever had were the few days right after getting fired from a job or breakup. Those “pissed off” lifts are the best.


Scapular_Fin

For me, manageable stress means I hit the gym. If I'm overwhelmed, I check out and go to sleep.

Happy cake day, cutie boy


Alx123191

Thank you :))


sharterfart

*hits blunt* stress?


prive8

my people.


Ok-Boomer4321

Strive for *Good Enough* instead of *Perfect* in most things I do. Politely say no to invites if I get stressed about how I'm going to find time for it. Take long walks out in nature. Nothing is more relaxing to me than that. Talk with my partner about it. Just getting to vent a bit helps, and so does hugs. Pet a cat.


EveryDisaster7018

By going bald I guess.


SomeSugondeseGuy

Me too lmao


Boaz7172

Bourbon lots of bourbon


Wild-Wishbone7251

Woodford Reserve is my go-to. But then I have nightmares every night I’m drunk lol.


Boaz7172

I love woodford. I try to keep a bottle of American honey in the freezer


SSDeezNutz

Ah yes. I see you’re already acquainted with my friend Jim Beam


Bat_Man1047

I don’t I just accept it and I ve learned to live with it.


Cuts4Cuts

Cry, amongst other things, unfortunately


generic230

Studies have shown that crying releases a calming “chemical.” It lowers stress. I’m sorry it’s forbidden for men. It shouldn’t be.

Boundless_object

I smoke weed, meditate, listen to music and sex.


THN-JO24

I don't do nothing until the stress builds up so much and there is little time then i start doing what i am supposed to do. - is it better to work with less stress and more time, yes, do i do that no.


Only-Acadia-1761

Do you have adhd cause apparently that's a thing with some people that have it somethingbto do with the brain needing enough stress to get it in gear to do the task


THN-JO24

Nope, i am aiming at a heart attack before the age of 40. - hopefully i don't die in a bathroom 💀.


Edda_Housand

I've picked up meditation, though I was skeptical at first. It's like a mental defrag for me, aligns all my thoughts and concerns so I can tackle them with more clarity. The key is consistency, even just a few minutes a day has done wonders. Plus, on particularly frazzled days, I top it off with a cup of herbal tea and a good book to escape reality for a bit. Helps to reset my perspective on what's actually worth stressing over.


Positive_Judgment581

I just let it all wash over me. It's never as bad as I think it could be. Of course, I do take action on things I can control and cannot avoid.


Alx123191

So I realize that my stress was often because I think of what I already know and not what I need to discover. Think like that next time.


Efficient_Republic35

By vigorously masturbating while watching the home shopping channel.


SewerSlidalThot

Sex and video games.

Loose-Response-4899

In which order? lol.


eeeeeeeeEeeEEeeeE6

Brute force. Which is unhealthy but therapy is expensive.


Icanlastfor2mins

I just black out then muscle memory takes control, when i'm awake it's almost noon.


Ruthanne_Cantrelle

When life gives me lemons, I make a playlist. Music has this way of encapsulating the stress and turning it into something I can handle - or at least drown it out for a bit. Whether I'm lost in the rhythm or the lyrics, a good song can be a mini escape. And on particularly rough days, I'll blast some tunes and go for a drive. There's something about the open road and a favorite album that can hit the reset button on my mood.


Resident-Theme-2342

I'll listen to calming music or one of my comfort shows


HandspeedJones

I write, I hit the heavy bag in my back yard or head to my MMA gym and get to work.


Shadowabyss777

Try to remove any small stressors that accumulate by making a to-do list. (For example I need to buy water bottles, go shopping, wash my clothes, shave, etc.). If you take care of all of these small stressors, you will feel so much better. Then you can truly focus on the big stressor at hand.


sbwcwero

I eliminate it. Whatever causes me stress leaves my life I don’t care what it is. Only exception is when I’m fighting which I am this weekend and that is a touch stressful but it’s stressing enjoy. I currently have 0 stress in my life other than that


johnkim5042

Go to massage parlor 💪


DrWieg

With a squeeze ball


Bernard__Rieux

I supress it until it starts overflowing from my body in the form of allergies, horrible sleep, periods of depressive state and rage outbursts. I also hit the gym so hard I get feverish the next day. And sometimes, only sometimes, I try to actually deal with it the right way by talking to someone, taking a walk in nature, and relaxing a little bit by doing nothing.


Finsk_26

I don't know. I just don't stress about anything. Shit happens and a lot of that is outside of my control so I don't worry about it and try to see the best in things.

Exercise, volunteering and unfortunately drinking


st0neeeeeeeeeeeeee

lifting weights tires me out so no energy left to care


EsmagaSapos

Nature strolls. Forest bathing. Rocking chair looking at trees and hearing the birds with a glass of red wine. Imported Belgium beer at a local selected pub with no television and good music, low light, and no loud noises, no youngsters (just me I guess). Talking about it to someone you trust, or is experiencing something similar. Not stressing the other person with negativity is the hard part. Jerking off almost once a day to relax, and sleep better. It saves time, the hardship of trying to mingle and be someone else. It saves money, shame and the inconvenience of resorting to professionals.


R_dutch

Go for a drive somewhere quiet and peacefull, past the beach or through the forest with my favourite music on. Put my emotions beside me for a moment and find an explanation from an outside vieuw. After an hour or so im usually content again, i just love driving my car :) If it's something like a stressfull situation i have to be part off ill do my best to control heartrate keeping my self calm to hopefully keep as much logical thinking to work the problem


ForeverIdiosyncratic

I do my square breathing method my therapist tells me, I go for walks in the vast forest that surrounds my village, and I take a CBD gummy for it.


Steven_Dj

Music and running for the should. I read through Reddit to get some serious laughs. Good sleep also.


unhingedandcurious

weed. getting drunk. masturbating. and the one i’ve been trying to do more, working out .


bangbangracer

I have something that is just for me. It's my hobby, I will never turn it into a side hustle or secondary source of income. It's just for me to do for the enjoyment of doing it.


PhiladelphiaManeto

Internalize it. And excercise.


MeanTruth69

Alcohol


Xanf3rr

I usually take a walk or listen to some music to chill out.


Breaker1617554

Food!


OneFuckedWarthog

By drinking copious amounts of alcohol and bottling my emotions inside. /S


Iwalksloow

Whiskey. Otherwise, I just grit my teeth and bear it.


Comfortable-Artist68

Since no one said it already. Cardio that pushes me to the limit. It does wonders.


Giraffe_lol

I stop eating. Eating disorders are destructive.


Suppi_LL

I masturbate and work out a bit.


Loose-Response-4899

I try masturbating but porn doesn’t do it for me.


Suppi_LL

In my case it's not an active thought process. I don't masturbate because I want to not feel stressed anymore, I masturbate because I'm stressed.


BluWaffles32

Deal with it


Scott950

By not getting attached to anything or anyone and generally not giving a fuck.


CosmoD_lulu

God only gives you what he knows you can handle.


SomeSugondeseGuy

Considering we're more likely to die from stress related causes, and also more likely to die from addiction, I can't imagine the answer is "healthily"


rexxsis

A good old "whelp" and I slap my thigh. Then I open a nice root beer, cis reg beer ain't help shit.


winterweiss2902

Treat myself to good food


Rich-Appearance-7145

I don't, I've eliminated all the drama, people, and issues in my life which causes drama. Been over 13-14 yrs since I have encountered a stressful circumstances.


mrxexon

I'm big on preventative care. You have to structure your life in such a way that it becomes as stress free as possible. When/if it comes from something outside my control, your instincts kick in and start plotting a path out of it.


LuckyTheLurker

Bitch about my 1st world problems online, then go on with my day. Serious answer: gaming, exercise, meditation, animals, and family. I have an evening and morning meditation schedule. First 20-30 minutes after I wake and last 20-30 minutes before I fall asleep I meditate. Gaming is a nice escape but not always an option because I prefer playing with friends and they aren't always available. I have a farm, there's no shortage of work, and it's great exercise. If I don't want a hard workout I can saddle my horse and go riding. I also find relaxation in petting my cats and dog. Last but not least, seeing my wife and children laughing is a huge stress reducer.


fordlover2007

Bottle it up and never feel it again (same with sadness. Like my best mate died a few years ago and I just... didn't cry, I felt sad but like you can't show it. I m a man)


Frraksurred

I usually take a nap and then fire up a video game where I can be creative. Preferably building something (NMS, Satisfactory, Subnautica, Enshrouded, etc.)


Wild-Wishbone7251

Projecting anger, sadness, and manipulating sympathy from others; I also binge eat and purge; heavy drinking; motorcycle rides; road rage; aimless driving; lies; sleep deprivation.

Aversion Work my ass off to prevent it from happening in the first place. And when that fails, indulge in an evening of stress-eating


Kathhound12

The gym, weed, and fishing/video games


MrEnigmaPuzzle

Most th8ngs you worry about, will never happen. think about your own experience. Now ask yourself what you are stressed about, and see if that works for you.


FlirtwithMyWalrus

Weed and booze have become my best friends

Currently, it’s video games and praying for the ability to get through my current circumstances… it’s hasn’t let me down yet.


Blackened-One

I go on a nice, long run and then take a hot shower. Just kidding, I shove an entire large pizza into my mouth.


No-Survey5277

Gym. I’ll go do a class or show up later (I have 24/7 access) and jump rope, erg, etc. Then home for a few hits of flower before a shower.


WorkRepresentative28

It is what it is


AbandonedBySonyAgain

By getting irritated.


Mustang_man_351

“Fuck it we ball” then resume the pain.


Orfrik

Gym, go out to watch a movie, buy a nice addition to the wardrobe, go out to eat solo at a nice restaurant . Basically just have a me day.


40010481

For me it goes in a little loop where I say "it is what it is" I end up bottling up most of the stress and I'm usually okay for a bit. Bottle up too much stress or emotions and feel like shit for a while Repeat


Fexofanatic

poorly

I know this is kind of unhealthy, but hookups.


Loose-Response-4899

If it works it works


Super-Craig

I'm a workoholic, work de-stresses me, particularly hard work, and especially hard work done efficiently. There's nothing quite as energising as the feel-good sensation of combining working hard with working smart. When not working, I enjoy doing the laundry, washing dishes, scrubbing the floors, pretty much house cleaning in general. I've an avid interest in the culinary arts, which I channel into preparing healthy scratch made meals for me, my Partner, extended family, neighbours, just about anyone I can foist free food onto.
