Music is a good way, but video games tend not to be...I enjoy them when I play, but afterwards I feel awful and irritable...

I used to go for long walks, but since my uni is in one of the worst dumps in SE London, i do not have access to nice parks, or a safe/peaceful road to walk around. But long walks helped, even just the fresh air did.

Cry. If things are getting really bad, just cry and let it out and then get on with it. xx

When I am stressed people usually find me playing Solitaire or Freecell on the computer. I find it really helps. Or I go for a walk or kick a football around my garden.

Fresh Prince of Bel Air, My wife and kids . Listening to some good music revives the sould. I find singing (yes i said singing) and dancing does good too.

DON'T!

I cracked my knuckles doing that - it was very stupid and in fact made me even more annoyed. :redface:

hit your pillow! kick and scream on your bed. generally though i agree with the walk, or a cycle ride. something to get fresh air and blood pumping. it clears your brain a little. or just have a long chat with your friends, with a lot of laughing. if i'm stressed it helps if i'm not alone because i will cry. though often crying is the best way to get it out of your system!
