Stuff you do when you're stressed/annoyed

[Fierce_LiNk]

Work was megashit. Listened to Songs for the Deaf on full blast on the drive home. Definitely changed my mood from annoyance to rage.

 

Another good one is just to pick up a guitar and strum.

[Blade]

Chuck weights around...

 

Eat a load of crap.

 

If i get stressed gaming wise it normally involved chucking the controller across the room. I also headbutted the wii u gamepad the other day whilst playing Tekken with frustration.

 

Just storm off...a regular occurance after watching Sheffield United

I think one of my major problems is I have no real go-to activity for when I get enraged. I guess whenever I get stressed I kind of default to doing the most productive thing I can within my immediate surroundings. Like I'll just go do the washing up or start tidying up.

 

Whenever I was drawing comics back in the day and something was stressing me out, I'd save a copy and totally sabotage/deface the image. No forehead would be without a gigantic wang and characters would have entire conversations using a variation of spellings of childish profanity.

Don't you mean the other way around? Unless were trying to Hulk out.

When I enter rage mode, I usually let it out by punching or throwing stuff, which has resulted in stuff getting dents and scratches, and I'm always embarrassed afterwards that I let my temper run off.

 

If I'm just in a bad mood, I often sit down with something pleasant, like some hot chocolate and a TV series. It usually helps.

[Grazza]

If I'm feeling too intense I go for a walk - as long a walk as I need to calm down.

 

On the very rare occasion when someone's annoyed me directly I'll just give them a piece of my mind, and that's the end of it.

[Jonnas]

Take a bath. Vacuum the floor. Fold some socks.

 

Basically, any activity that doesn't require much thought. Let me vent for myself and avoid interacting with anybody.

[Beast]

Right, I'm just going to be that guy and say wanking and porn!

 

Okay, now that's out of the way, when I'm stressed or annoyed, I go running, jogging, play Just Dance on the Wii, weightlift, play squash or play videogames or listen to music or do the above when I'm in the mood.

 

Usually, the thing that helps the most is driving. No destination, just driving anywhere. Love driving a lot.

I'm sorry, but I think we have to get married.

 

When I'm stressed, my Compulsions kick in. I usually start with a little tooth brushing...about twenty times a day, hand washing say twice or thrice as many times as I go to the bathroom.

 

Or a nice run.

I don't handle stress very well these days and have never been good at dealing with anger/annoyances. Recently, it has led to having anxiety and/or panic attacks which is super helpful when you've got to give presentations.

 

Definitely doesn't help that I bottle a lot of this stuff up until it starts to leak out/burst out everywhere, although I'm not worried as at most it'll probably just result in me curled up in a ball in the corner crying my eyes out

 

Pretty much just settle in and listen to a couple of hours of music in the hope of relieving stress and it works most of the time. I've tried to write/draw but that just frustrates me and makes it worse. Probably should do something a bit more proactive than that like go out for a run or, you know, deal with it but that'd require a bit too much effort on my part

[Dannyboy-the-Dane]

Oh, yeah, and regarding stress: If I'm really stressed, I tend to shut down, meaning I get nothing done. I can literally sit and just stare into empty air.

[bob]

Luckily i don't get enraged like I used to, but i remember that English homework used to get me so worked up i would snap a pen.

I do this too. Along with chuck things around, smack walls etc

[Oxigen_Waste]

I get high on weed and watch Baraka. Never fails.

Hmm, sometimes I wonder if I feel perpetually stressed/annoyed, because I can't think what I do 'when I am'. I guess If it's due to home, I'll go out maybe? Or have folks round? Sometimes I'll game. Or come on tinternets and occupy myself(which is a large part of my existence anyway), through socialising(ie social media or here). All of which will be done with a beer, probably. I'm not sure I really get so annoyed/stressed with something that I need to do something to get over it, I just kinda try to focus on doing what I would normally and thinking/realising how whatever it is isn't really big enough of a deal to change anything?

[Josh64]

I often get annoyed or stressed over things but barely ever get angry, in fact I can't remember the last time.

 

When I am stressed I tend to just revert back to my 15 year old self - listen to Scatman John/play Super Monkey Ball 1 (I always desperately crave that game when drunk as well, I have no idea why) or... well that's about it. Not much then, which is probably why I always just end up being awake for ages haha

 

Maybe I should start punching walls etc too? :P

[Murr]

I have a beer. Well not when in work, but when I get home. Either at the pub, or just a can at home on the sofa. Not like on a mission to get hammered, just a pint or tin will do it.

[EEVILMURRAY]

Play Minesweeper/Freecell.

[MoogleViper]

I'm annoyed far too often to be able to do anything about it.

 

I even get annoyed with people, when I'm on my own.

 

I'm sorry, but I think we have to get married.

 

You're just a forum slut, aren't you?

If I could, I'd be pressing my man-parts on everyone and everything.

You definitely can.

 

Go on, try it.

[The Bard]

Stress and annoyance are different though. I feel as if I'm persistently annoyed at something or another, but I handle stress really poorly. I just get a bit depressed and end up starting into space, or if I'm stressed in company the opposite will happen and I get quite hyperactive and make a lot of jokes. I think it's a response to fear.

[Iun]

Play Minesweeper/Freecell.
