What Do You Do When Your Upset?

[MusicalFreedom]

I eat.

I eat a fuckhuge amount.

Comfort food. Oh yeah

noooooooo dont do that

its unhealthy and will catch up on you in later life

unless you're eating apples

apples are good

 

[Fenra]

I tend to hop in my car and just drive randomly for a while down some country roads with chillout music playing... its not exactly a cheap solution, my petrol bills are crazy but it works

 

[Bluebacon]

I tend to smoke a cig (not healthy I know, but I'm planning to quit in the near future) and listen to some power metal. I just cant stay in a bad mood with power metal, its too fast and upbeat!

 

[Spacelord]

I post on internet forums. T_T

 

[Fingerprint]

Me? I go into my room close the door, put a chair underneath the handle, put some music on - normally certain Counting Crows, Goo Goo Dolls, Bob Dylan songs, etc. - and lie on my bed staring at the ceiling, not talking to anyone.

That seems to work pretty well.

 

[The Rockerfly]

Rage quit XD

 

[nova18]

I make jokes.
A lot of jokes.
The more stressed I am, the more jokes.

You should have seen me when my house was burning down, fire pun after fire pun.


Also I smoke.
Which isnt why my house burnt down before you ask.

Game or sleep; preferably the former and preferably with friends. A good friend can pull you from zero back up to awesome in no time. I used to go for walks but I found that gave me too much time to think about whatever was bothering me. I prefer to just shrug things off and move along. =)

Upset like in crying?
I can't recall the last time I cried. Honestly.
Do something I enjoy doing, I guess. Like playing games, or maybe read a book.

Kind of like a certain Chandler Bing?

nah not actually crying, but feeling like crying or just feeling really low

Depends on what has upset me. Usually though I just go out and blow £50 on Jack Daniels down the town, then try and fight somebody, then stagger home by 3.

Ah, then I listen to music. Usually helps.

 

[Mr.Squishy]

Sulk, mostly. That or play Rock Band. Or hurl abuse at unsuspecting idiots on the internet... though obviously not on The Escapist because we don't have idiots here.

No idiots on the Escapist? I wish. You obviously haven't seen any posts by kukul or Anonymouse, have you? They're...less than friendly.

 

[Mr.Squishy]

I...I got no idea really.
I used to go for a walk or just lie down on my bed and relax, thinking, but now I just can't seem to think straight or relax properly.
Which sucks, because i've been feeling down lately, and when i get down i get either very depressive or snarky/mean

I think I need to talk more to people...but my friends have problems of their own -sigh-

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

I don't get upset.
Well, I do, but I ignore it so hard I might as well not.

 

[Cylem]

I cry. I don't get upset very often, but when I do I always end up crying and watching the Discovery Channel next to the fireplace while playing my DS... maybe with a snack. Nothing like massive overstimulation to calm the nerves.

 

[Fairee]

Depends how upset you mean. First of all, when I start getting down, I get people to distract me, or I try to distract myself with music etc. But if I get worse, I just have to let it run its course. Which is really unpleasant.

 

[iJosh]

Break stuff. Like every other manly man.

Other then that. Ahh, Listen to music in my room.

 

[Tullio]

Depends how upset. Minor things are solved by blatant tyranny on Rome: Total War (Put them to the sword!). Major things, I work myself into a red-fog fury until my friend calms me down

 

[Christemo]

play a game or find some music that calms me (some of the WoW themes, nightwish, all kinda stuff). or i play a violent game until im calm.
