    Well, i'm a little stressed out right now. And i'm listening to my music but it's not doing much. Would watching some MLP help? Or any other ideas on how to relieve stress?

    In terms of MLP, Fluttershy's Lullaby?

    Otherwise, get some aromatic tea and in just inhale the steam slowly. Cigarettes work wonders too, but I wouldn't recommend the pharmaceutical variety; they have lots of cupcakes-grade scary stuff in them.

    Another thing that I hear helps a lot is exercise. Maybe try just going for a quick walk and collect your thoughts. You can even listen to music while you do so.

    Playing violent video games works for me.

    Stress is a subjective thing; people do different things to relieve stress.

    What I like to do is take a walk and listen to my MP3 player while I walk. I also enjoy talking with people whom I care about regarding anything that may be stressing me out. I sometimes eat a little more when I'm stressed, but that's not always such a great thing. When all else fails, I have to agree with Double Rainbow "Dash:" sleep will usually alleviate the feelings for at least a while.

    These are good coping mechanisms, but if it is a chronic issue, I do suggest maybe seeking some help from a therapist or psychologist.

    When I'm stressed, I listen to something dynamic and powerful, like Ride of the Valkyrie or Night on Bald Mountain. But it doesn't work unless you move with the music. *Does the hand thing* DUNNNN...DUNNNN..DUNDUNDUN DUUUNNNNN DUN DUNNNNN!!!

    Or stretch, that always helps me, as well as deep breathing.

    I've only been under high amounts of stress, I went home and passed out somewhere, once was in my bed, and the other was at the bottom of the stairs.

    I find this guy's music is great for stress, but it's not something everyone's going to appreciate haha

    As for other methods, I've found playing video games, mainly like puzzle or more calm adventure games (or something like TF2 if you want some mindless violence) can be a great way to relieve stress.

    If your going to relieve stress, most easiest way I would think about would be a simple nap / rest / sleep.

    -TF2 + Stress = More Stress, especially if you keep dieing.
    -Food somewhat makes it worse, but it may help.
    -Release you stress on forums, somepony else IRL, etc...(?)
    -Sleep = Simple, easy to do, just do it.
