3800 What do you do when your stress hits the wall.

[98 TGP TOY]

Well im a fairly laid back and relax person for the most part. I dont usually get stressed out....practically ever. But its hitting hard this semester. With 17 credits, homework due weekly in every class, and a part time job, i can feel my shoulders tightening. This next week I have two test, a quiz, and three hw assignments due, while I also have to put my car back together, so I can drive home that weekend to see my girl. Not to mention that I dont even leave campus till after 10pm on the average night.

I usually do a little mind over muscle relaxation when im laying in bed that usually ends up knocking me out. Do any of you guys/girls do anything?

My other favorite relaxation technique is tearing through the gears and curves in the gtp. But that hasnt been possible in over a week...im having withdrawal.

I actually do think im going to have to use liquid muscle relaxers this next weekend. A buddy of mine is turning 21 on thursday, so we will have to test out his new found freedom :drunk: :drunk: :beer: :cheers: :blow:

close your eyes, count to 10 slowly, take in a breathe exhale. then count down from 10, take another breathe exhale and ope your eyes. your mind will clear up and you will feel better. plus its not addicting. although razzberri Absolute mixed with lemonade..is the cure for everything

 

[superchargedgp]

zanax or vicadin

hittin the bong always does me good not really much of a drinker

I'm glad to see no one here is an alcoholic...

Talking about your problems is sort of a stress reliever, also. You're already practicing some methods, I see.


Other than that, Bacardi-O with some V8...

Yea, I guess I should have put....No alchohol allowed . Im only 20 and I cant drink alcohol....its the law . But I wont be smokin notin.....thats not me. Working on my car next week will help also.

 

[sgtp]

shit, this is a car forum and not a single post saying going for a drive relieved the stress..... I needed some relief the other night so hopped in the gs and teared ass around chicago breaking varoius traffic laws. Theres nothing like replacing stress with adrenaline with a little aggresive driving

one thing I noticed after a while was every cab I lined up with after hitting the surface streets seemed to want to race. I taunted one and got him to squeal the tires past me, while he had passengers in the back. I thought that was kinda funny................

The big problem is that everything needs to happen fast, and you only go one speed. Frustration sets in, and you get stressed. As unpopular as it is to say this, drinking makes it worse. Go sit somewhere and slow down, look at something that is trivial and study it like when you were a kid. It really helps to forget all the dead lines you have. Drinking, only takes time away from the crap you have to do, and the hangover time is totally a waste. I like to go fishing when I'm stressed. I don't even need to catch anything, I just go somewhere nice and kick back for a bit.

 

[suprchargdgtpgal]

I just tell myself that if I just do one thing at a time I'll be OK. But since I have an anxiety disorder, I take medication, so I don't stress out to much.

 

[staceyyearsich]

Sometimes I just drive around in the car listening to music or I go to the bar and have a few 7&7's.... it depends really

[98 TGP TOY]

Yea, I usually drive around in my car and listen to some type of rock....but I cant do that right now.

I've mapped out a schedule for myself next week so that will help, but all that has to happen is something going wrong with working on the car. And we know thats a very possible problem <_<

Alcoholics admit they have problems. :lolsign:

Besides, Ive had no reason to hit that bottle in awhile, and the reason I did before was retarded.

HAPPY ALEX!!! I SAID IT!!! :lolsign:

 

[imported_Theautoguy]

I kick the dogs and yell at the wife and then blame it all on my boss!



Seriously though, I make the time to disappear into the garage and do anything I can think of to the cars, wether it's detailing, repairs or modding. It ALWAYS works for me!

I pound holes into my heavy bag in my basement. That way when I go out and drink the rest of it down, I'm not a beligerent bastard...

 

[cpk71]

I also like to drive to release some anger also,another one of my favorites is the driving range hittin a couple hundred golf balls tends to do the trick very well.

 

[HUNTERDOG]

As much as I want to say drink, thats not it for me. I love to grab the kids and go out for a bike ride around the neighborhood. There aint nothing like being a kid with your kids. By the time we get back I forgot what set me off in the first place.

 

[98 TGP TOY]

OK a bunc of different things.....so I guess these are my options

Drink
Smoke
Breathe
take prescription drugs
drive car
listen to music
go fishing
do one thing at a time and take medication
work on the car
beat up a punching back...which i happen to have downstairs
driving range
OR knock up my gf, wait 9 months and play with my kids....

Thats a lot of different suggestions, I cant afford half of them right now, but hopefully Miss TGP and I will get some quality time together this week
