Picking. I'm pretty compulsive about it. Can really fuck things up if I'm nervous about an upcoming social event, as I end up with a puckered face, making it worse. Idk why I do this, a lot of times I'm not really even conscious I'm doing it until after the fact.

Depends on the situation, initially usually anxiety or panic but again depends on the severity and how equipped I am for the response of the situation in question.

Disengagement.

If I can physically disengage, walking away from the situation, I'd do it. If not, I'll mentally disengage. Enough times of this, I'll just default to it: not giving a shit because apparently, no one does.

If I must engage in it anyways, maybe I'll return to it once I've calmed down. If I must do it there and then (so, no time to compose myself), I'd do minimum I can get away with.

Eating junk food mostly

Masturbation.

Cannabis

Well we know what people do under stress and it's a lot of bad shit.

What are some healthy coping mechanisms? Say a top 10.

What stress? Work stress? One thing. Social stress? Another. Geopolitical shit? Third response.

Migraines. At least it's a good way to get away from the stressful situation, because I don't have a choice unless I want to throw up and I will look so bad that people immediately believe me. So... thanks, migraines?

Depends on the level of stress. At small to medium amounts (beyond background levels) I stop responding to texts from anyone other than my best friend and partner. At high amounts I stop thinking or doing anything and just pace or rot in bed

Pacing back and forth.

I eat too much then feel guilty about it, including stuff I shouldn't eat that will make me sick.

Do you like Huey Lewis & The News? Their early work was a little too 'new-wave' for my taste, but when 'Sports' came out in '83, I think they really came into their own – both commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this, 'Fore', their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is 'Hip to Be Square', a song so catchy most people probably don't listen to the lyrics – but they should! Because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself!

Mental regression is the main one

Fetal position and cry

It absolutely depends on the kind of stress and how much im feeling it

Flight. But when flight is not an option, raised blood pressure

Mine are all unhealthy but I think my stress is quite high. It was drinking way too much… not it’s having a drink with junk food, staying up late 报复熬夜, and being outwardly anxious

Depends on the stress, if its just a tense situation I try to keep my eyes open, think about the events unfolding and the options available to deal with it, if there is a need to deal with the situation. If its anger related stress, I get a rush of energy and feel the need to get up and walk, this allows me to let the steam off. If it becomes too much to deal with, I tend to retreat back into myself, take as little place as possible, lie down if possible, my brain usually can't stop thinking but doing something autonomously (doomscrolling or anything else) helps.

I yell "BACK UP!" regardless of how close anyone might actually be to me.
