A ventilation of stress.

Published by Utopia in the blog Utopia's blog. Views: 305

Let's make one thing clear here, the sure fire way to stress me out is yelling. I hate yelling, even if it's not directed at me. It causes my stomach to tighten, my body to visibly shake, and sometimes I'll even start to sweat. For the past little while there has been quite a bit of yelling. You see, my brother is a little on the irresponsible side. He usually stays in the basement and hasn't really ever had a job. Now my brother never brought home some forms and my dad started yelling at him, he started yelling back, then my mom started yelling at everyone. So right now I'm kinda sitting on my bed shaking while I type this, gorging myself on my one true comfort food: gummy bears. Jeeze these things help me chill out quite a bit, I'm not sweating any more after eating some. So yeah I'm just venting my stresses a bit here, sorry 'bought that.

    Sorry? Don't be. Stress is something you need to vent or it'll drive you crazy.
    Unfortunately I'm a little preoccupied at the moment so I hope somepony else will pick up the slack for me. Be well, and I hope everything settles down.

    Thanks, I'm not usually stressed, not even final exams got me worked up like this. And you're right; venting like this did make me feel quite a bit better.

    Yes, well, talking about your worries with those you trust can feel very refreshing so I encourage it. Opening up can be quite a scary experience since that involves doing something where you'll risk getting your heart broken so to speak.

    It's okay, don't be. Sometimes I'm seriously like that but there are some reasons to confront it.
    1. Try taking deep breaths to calm yourself down. You will feel a whole lot better and start feeling fresh and healthy again. (also some yogo might help)
    2. Another way to get rid of your stress is to try and deal with the problem. I know it's hard but think about somethings that might lower the capcity of your stress level, whether you are quite mad or at the bottom.
    I now these tips are basic so please don't judge them. I find people quite mean not understanding what I actually comment. Also, I hope you find these tips uselful.:smile:
    This is an important phrase you need to remember, ''Not everyone is PERFECT.''

    when yelling gets involved, i get so stressed and anxious i yell back. If you start to close in on me in an argument and berate me, i yell because it's the only thing i can do to not cry. Maybe your moms feeling that way? You guys shouldn't feel embarrassed to visit a family therapist if you feel you need it ^.^ *pat pat*

    Thanks for the tips, I understand what you're saying. I usually do the first one when I get stressed like this, I haven't tried the second one... it's a tough one to do.

    I'm glad you feel a whole lot better and FINALLY some person understands what I mean.
    I assure you if you find my tips useful, be sure to use them in them futher on for future stress.
    Don't worry, you aren't the only one who's stress most times, my younger sibling, everyday has emotions and starts feeling hot and mad. Meaning she's totally stressed about something at her social life in Primary school.
    I do too but doing some yogo always helps.:smile:
