tinktronik Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 I guess that's the question. What ways do you all use to distract yourself from stressful situations while they are out of your control? I guess you could call them coping mechanisms.
BlindRage Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 I want an answer to this too *patiently waiting *.......

paleblue Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 sometimes i'll go and look at puppies. sometimes window shopping. sometimes i'll walk around in circles or on a bike path. sometimes i just engage myself in chores and things around the house. it might only be a temporary distriaction, but its something!
worlybear Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 I have found listening to specific hypnosis cds (controlling stress) very helpful- in fact I have yet to hear the end of the CD as I fall asleep!
valdeetz1 Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 I've ran up my charge cards at the mall on a lot of new clothes- sales ftw! No worries, I pay them off next month in full. I felt good while shopping, and am glad I have a new wardrobe, but...eh it was a double bladed sword in a way. Not looking forward to those bills even if I can pay them in full DX
