Long walks with my mp3 player. Nothing else really does it for me other than I try to keep a diary too sometimes, unleash the fury on paper sort of thing every so often.

Yeah, I love taking long iPod walks.  I keep a music journal where I write songs, poetry, guitar notes or just ramblings meant to inspire what I write.  Working out, breakdancing and hitting the heavy bag are other ways I deal with stress.

So I go in my room and sleep it off, or blare music.

But most of the time, I take advantage of it and express it through writing, drawing, or sometimes when I blare music I sing it off.

spontaneous mental combustion.

I cut.
       

As a general rule, though, I try to find something soporific - music, food, boatloads of exercise - and will myself to get better. I'm a determined person, so it really doesn't weigh that heavily on my emotions, and eventually my mindset turns into beating myself (when it comes to exercise - for example, x seconds for a lap of _ metres).

I then completely forget about what was bothering me and end up doing it in my routine.
