I write. I may release myself through poetry or a story, but usually it's just writing out my thoughts; free writing. Then, when I look back I can usually see things in perspective and find my way through it. Music is my secondary battery of defense...

Surprisingly, I am with MzDivine. I log onto EP to de-stress myself.

Infact I just wrote a circular to all my friends on my pte email this morning to inform them of how EP has helped me calm myself down while tackling real life health issues of my family.

My dad had a relapse this morning. Im too far away to assist. Im here now;0)

Thank you EP. Sometimes, it is not only bad things that needed addressing...GOOD things too need to be pointed out ;0)

Sleeping is a good option -- I do that, too.

I do random things, but one of the most effective for me is to write about it. (In a journal or something like that.)

I usually go to the sea - there's a quiet beach nearby - or for a walk in the woods.
