<p>Simple question. What gets you sane when you're falling apart? Just wondering how different people deal.</p>

<p>Also congrats to whomever got into [arbitrary college where they applied to] today!</p>

<p>This website was down for about four hours so not too many people have posted their decisions.</p>

<p>Usually classical music serves as a benefactor for me.</p>

3

<p>Read a book or listen to music. Sports help too.</p>

4

<p>Sleep/dive in the pool/gorge on ice cream/jump rope like crazy.</p>

5

<p>listen to music and skip around</p>

6

<p>I eat uncontrollably.</p>

7

<p>Do something you really like. Like playing WoW, a videogame, watching some good TV. Or if you’re a sporty person, something like that.</p>

8

<p>I try to find counterexamples to rule 34.</p>

<p>I just talk my way through it. I go in my room, lay in bed, and talk myself sane. It is so calming. Or I take a nap.</p>

<p>If you’re really desperate I guess you could “relieve stress” the twelve year old way, if you know what I mean. Assuming you’re a guy. That may be a little off color. Sorry if I offended someone.</p>

<p>^I know what you’re talking about, but how is that the “twelve year old” way?</p>

11

<p>Well I didn’t mean it is the twelve year old way of relieving stress. I mean when you’re twelve, that is what you do as a guy. Most people dont do it when they are juniors and seniors. At least people I know.</p>

12

<p>Wait, maybe we’re not thinking about the same thing. Because I sure as hell wasn’t doing that regularily when I was 12…</p>

<p>… i’ll leave it at that</p>

13

<p>lmao. i estimate twelve every time I refer to middle school. I’m bowing out of this conversation now.</p>

14

<p>Wait, what? <em>scratches head</em> Am I missing out on some ritual undertaken by typical prepubescent males lol?</p>

15

<p>lol

</p>

<p>Right with ya man</p>

<p>this thread has taken a turn for the worse</p>

18

<p>Hardly the worse; it’s perfectly normal.</p>

<p>When it comes to stress relief I usually hop into some new community as I’m doing now. If not that, I usually go for some of my usual hobbies: I’ll play some competitive fighters on the net, translate and subtitle some videos into English, or perform tarot card readings for some friends.</p>

<p>Weird hobbies? Hell yeah, but they’re really relaxing and fun.</p>

<p>YouTube videos!</p>

<p>When I’m extremely stressed, I can’t even think of doing that to myself…</p>
