Exercise is wonderful for releasing stress and relaxing....I love to run when I am stressed. Also just taking the time to breathe in and out deeply, can really make a big diffrence in your stress levels. ( try it the next time your are feeling stressed and overwhelmed)

One of the best stress busters around is yoga. It directly counteracts both the physiological and psychological components of stress, simultaneously helping you take better care of yourself and change your attitude. The stretching you do in yoga relieves muscle tension. Upside-down poses and reclining poses slow the heart, relax the blood vessels, inhibit production of norepinephrine, and calm the brain. Pranayama (yoga's classic breathwork) slows respiration. As you practice being more aware and mindful, you gain a sense of self-control, equanimity, and peace. Perhaps most important of all, meditation and the teachings of yoga philosophy can help you realize that most of the things that upset you just aren't worth getting stressed about.

It helps me relax, feel happy, feel hyper, get pumped up, feel even sadder. Life is just so much better with life on the background in many different ways.

I go to a hypno-psychotherapist. It helps to have someone to talk to without being judged and getting help in relaxing. Then I de-stress through a hobby, sewing. When I am just about to explode, I drop everything and sit on my sewing chair and turn on the machine. Think also of If they are close by maybe you can call them for coffee or something.

Taking a B-complex vitamin is a good remedy for stress/anxiety.  I don't know whether you consider vitamins and supplements "medicating yourself."  I've also found that finding a task/hobby/activity to really concentrate on is helpful -- relieves you of all of that scary free time when your mind can roam to painful memories.  Try origami -- no joke.  It's good because it makes you use your mind and your hands and requires a lot of focus.  Good luck.

What're you stressed out about? When that happens to me I burn off the extra "energy" by exercise - just doing something to take my mind of the stressful situation! I take walks, ride my bike . . . . I've even ended up house cleaning!

You can find healthy outlets to relieve your stress.  You can take a break from the stressor by pursuing an alternative activity temporarily.  You might try reading, exercise, watching TV, listening to music, or any other activity that you enjoy doing.  You can feel refreshed afterward, and return to the original activity with a new outlook on it.\n\nAlso, don't overlook the possibility of talking it over with others.  Sometimes other people's insights can really help you.

A relaxing massage in a place with a nice ambience - probably a spa - relieves stress the most for me. Try a massage with aromatherapy oils while listening to new age/zen music and once your stress knots are relaxed you will feel blissful!
