I crack a window, and play games, and forget about whatever it is, until I come back to it, and it's still not finished, and I get even more stressful lol

As opposed to...?

As opposed to those pampered college kids who had mid-terms canceled and councelors called in because of the result of the election.. I roll up my sleeves, lace my boots and get up the next day and keep fighting the good fight.

Just to clarify I'm not saying the OP is one of them, I just explaining that when stress gets to me I just chip away at the day.

I escape the world by reading good books, listening to relaxing music (helpmechill.com to start), watching interesting shows (ok, I admit, anime), or otherwise find a peaceful place to rest and meditate.

Also, playing an active sport such as badminton is really good for stress relief.

Some people handle stress better than other though. But I get your point.

Do you really need to make every thread you waltz into political?

Wanna few suggestions? I hear grand theft auto 5 is really fun. Cunning stunts, is all hype. (I never played it just watch) If you not into that, play retro city rampage, is like GTA but in 8-Bits, and have free play where you can do whatever, like free play in games, maybe play just cause, so much freedom in that game. Play with friends or just get the stress out your system on to the video game.

(please tell me someone didn't say porn or jerking yet) :glare:

You could watch some anime, there plenty of good ones for everyone. But for relieving stress, i honestly would go to the fan service variety since is the most relieving of them all. (No i don't mean for the innuendos and mature rated content) i mean cause of all the humor and jokes that come with it that hardly seem to take itself seriously most of the time. Wanna harem? too bad, not everyone is as lucky as some of the anime guys. :P

You could always go online and browse different stuff. "The internet's infinite information super highway is a source of all wisdom, power, entertainment and our Second life as we know it." (I just made that up) but is all true anyway, just trust me, one moment you on your cellphone asking the google android questions like "How do you deal with stress" to asking "What does shoryuken" mean.... Well i find it amusing when the android talks about video game stuff but still is just how i am.

You can always talk to someone, i guess therapist or something, or friend. Lots of people here, try talking to them i guess, never know what to be going on next, GBATemp party doesn't stop. :toot:

Well i mean there is more. Explore a old game maybe you never finish, or feel should have some secret to discover, find some new glitches or cheats. Youtube always works for most cases. :P

I dunno what else to say right now, maybe more will come later.:rolleyes:

I just have arguments with myself 24/7 knowing that I'll never be able to discuss these things with anybody else and that everything that I've ever done and will ever do is a complete waste of effort an that I should have never have tried and should have instead just smashed my head into the concrete like I had thought about doing when I was six years old.

Talking, weed, music. Not in any particular order. I usually talk to strangers. They are not biased and can have good input. Politics and religion I don't talk about much. That just causes more stress.

It's cheesy as all heck, but stop for a moment, and think of 10 things you're grateful for in this world.

Deep breath. What makes you happy? Go from there. Take your mind off what's bothering you right now. Don't let it worry you in this moment. What are you excited for?

Just something that's helped me a few times.
