Stress!

im putting stress and worry in the same category- when im worrying about something it stresses me out... being a pre vet student atm is really stressing me out... along with trying to find a job and thinking of what i actually wanna do with my life etc....

whats been helping me is cleaning/organizing (something i used to HATE doing as a kid), watching movies.... i can also watch tv shows for hours on end (esp CSI, Law and Order SVU, House etc... i just cant watch an episode that i've seen with in the last month... .idk im weird like that i guess) and finally playing with the kittehs. I love watching the cats get into mischef and just being goofy....i think i was a cat in a past life... :rolleyes:

of course an alcoholic drink helps de stress too... every now and then tho... :D

um, I like to play with my balls..............:P, sorry ,couldnt resist:banana:

So we fish every chance we get because its slow and boring just the way I like it. Sorry just saw a chance to vent. lol

I had a friend that did that. He was always under stress from being out in the gulf all the time and barely seeing friends and family. Great job but very lonely from what I understand. I hope you have lots of music, movies, an Ipod, and a great internet/text plan on your phone to keep your sanity :)

My stress relievers are my animals. If I am feeling stressed, I go and check all the animals and top up every single water bottle, spot clean, organize the animal room, etc. If I am feeling really stressed I get a nice shower and put on the most comfortable pjs I own and climb into bed with my cats. All four usually come running over to cuddle and we make a big kitty cuddle pile. :D

Meditation*, video games, cooking (which I've recently got back into, and love it), walks (especially at night), and music. Not necessarily in that order, it depends what 'type' of stress I'm suffering from.
