Loose myself in music. Arrange to meet up with a good friend and work our way through a bottle (or four) along with loads of ciggies.

Thats what I do when im depressed.

Well, minus the ciggies now.

Giving up ciggies is a good thing...allegedly Feel for ya

Have also heard that using alcohol to relieve stress and/or depression can bring you down even more...I justify it by telling myself that spending time with my friends is reliving my stress and the alcohol just helps to loosens the lips

I usually do yoga or if I can get away from what is stressing me.

Ese's picture just stressed me out. That's horrible.

I've become pretty good at not letting things stress me out. I had to in order not to get sick since stress makes my Lupus flare up. The main thing I do to deal with stress is to avoid it all together. I don't get overly involved in other peoples lives and try to keep to myself.

Of course, stressful situations still come up from time to time. Especially at work. Here are the things I do to alleviate the stress:

Meditation
Exercise
Comedy
Imagine I'm being falsely held in a Turkish prison. This works because I then feel my problems are relatively small compared to that.

don't judge me

Way to bring the thread down, Ese!

Puzzles and coloring work for me.

I vent with all my coworkers at work or at my meetings. It works for me.
