Stress: how do you deal with yours?

[cpvr]

Stressing is something I don't like thinking about, but I admit, I was pretty stressed out the other day because our AC broke again and the quote we received from the mechanic shop was pretty high. And we don't have that type of money right now, but I got over it because my girlfriend spoke to her step-dad and he said he'll try to fix it again.

Play some loud music.

That's one of my favorite methods as well. What type of headphones do you have? Do you blast the music on your computer?

Also, do you think working out helps with stress relieve? @MichaelCrystal

I've tried working out to relieve the stress in my life, but it didn't always work. If I was feeling in a particular bad mood with my self appearance or something like that, or was having stress do to my appearances, I would work out, aggressively. And I usually felt that when I would gain a bit of weight, and then go back to being muscular, then go back into the same routine. I was never overweight to honestly say, but working out only helped out when it came to my thoughts about myself, otherwise if I tried working out while stressed, it usually only made me more stressed about whatever it was. :/

Well, I asked because it sometimes different for people. If I'm mad, I take it out on my body and work out harder. I don't dive into food like I used to because I've learned to control that aspect of my life. Depression sometimes makes me eat a lot more though. I still think of my self-apperance as being big, but I'm trying to lose it. Like yesterday, my girlfriend bought me 3 shirts that were xL, and I weight 3x, but those shirts fit me fine. I was surprised.

Yeah, it's amazing how much you can do that you thought you couldn't do when you are mad, upset, or just generally stressed. I'll learned that you can far exceed what you think you can do if you have motivation.

Motivation is the key to anyone's success though, you're right about that. If you're unmotivated, you tend to be more lazy than others. Have you ever had a problem with motivation?

[MichaelCrystal]

Put it this way, most of my motivation comes from my ex-gf, Rachel. We are separated right now and it hurts, we might get back together than again we might not. It's complicated, but when we are together we always seem to get back together, then she gives me more motivation, she's alot of my motivation.

There's other things that give me motivation such as people thinking I can't do things that I know I can (Sparked the Creation of Maniapets ;D), and other such things
