People say there are a lot of methods to calming or getting ones self to relax.
For me one of the biggest ones is music , I just love it I’m a fan of many different genres from oldies to rap to heavy metal to country. It always made me smile after a bad or extremely stressful day. It saved me many times emotionally or days when I just felt like breaking down on the inside. Just pop on my favorite white headphones lay back and just relax.
Another one of my habits which i true hate to admit it cause i’m aware of how much harm it can cause is cutting. Most of the time with my pocket knife or a disposable razor especially on the days that i just wish i would disappear. Though I am smart enough not to do it on my arms, I honestly have a lot of scares some will heal and I know a lot wont.
Sorry if it seemed like i was writing a sob story there for a minute.
So what do you guys do to release pressure?

For me it is musterbation 🙂
roflmao at least you are honest
Thanks for the compliment
lol XD
Music, but like every way to make the pain go away its temporary, why bother…
That’s true. Although i believe in the saying that certain song lyrics can b e consider as powerful.
Why bother? Son you don’t feel shit all the time
Whatever works for you 🙂
Sedatives and/or alcohol. Cutting or burning. Sleeping pills.
hope things get better for ya.
Sounds weird, but I like Ramen noodles. I know it’s weird, but it’s my comfort food. I also listen to music, and he’ll musterbation is good too. ????
its not weird. X3 I like ramen noodles too cooked or uncooked lol X3
Yes! I knew I wasnt the only one that thought uncooked Ramen was good. :p
lol that was pretty much part of my main diet my first semester in college. X3 back when i was first terrible at cooking it in the microwave
I listen to music. Whatever I’m feeling at the moment. Lately, I’ve been listening to my favorite song, ‘The Poet and the Pendulum’, by Nightwish.
I haven’t listened to that song in forever X3 me I just got done listening waking the demon by bullet for my valentine.
Alcohol no longer meets my needs. Besides. I am allergic to it – I break out in felonies.
I used to leverage my pain medication and take extra when I needed to be sedated but my HMO has clamped down on early refills so I now get less than I need for pain and nothing extra to play with. I’ve used guided meditation and self-hypnosis (not very effective) and when desperate I’ve used Valerian root extract – it does have a calming effect but only if I take a lot of it. It tastes horrible unless you mix it with something else and I have only found one brand that sells an honest extract (Herb Pharm, Amazon sells it).
Cutting isn’t satisfying for a number of reasons. I guess in reality I don’t have many options beyond gritting my teeth and cursing God. Pretty sad…
hmm I have never heard of valerian root extract before. hmm I used to use pain medications when i was younger to try myself to force myself to pass out that was until I got caught and was told if i got caught doing it again i would be sent away to the nut house. Guess that scared me straight lol. hmm I hope things get better for you. If you ever need someone to talk to. I’m here.
Noodles? What’s wrong with pizza? They’re like giant, cheesy tissues you can cry into AND eat. Win win.
lol X3 nom nom nom
I don’t release pressure, I let it consume me.
I listen to music almost all day that I’m awake so I play what fits my mood. Weed or LSD usually makes me happy too. Alcohol makes things worse which sometimes is what I need.
