QOTW!
(Question Of The Week)
Stressful situations are a part of everyday life. We each have different coping mechanisms that help us get through those feelings. There is a sequence of things that I do to get over something, depending on how extreme they are.
Of course I begin with shedding a few tears, if it's that hurtful/stressful. I'm not afraid to admit that there's times when I curl up into a ball and cry my eyes out, throw things around, etc...(oh ya, I have that temper although it might not seem like it)
Another thing that helps me is FOOD. It is my best friend, one that will never let me down when I need it most ! Sometimes the cravings are for something spicy and sometimes sweet !
Lastly, Shopping! who can forget about that? As funny as it might sound, it actually does help me a lot. Whenever i'm feeling down and have that $, my hands itch to spend! It distracts my mind, for that day at least until I cool down =)
So my question to you is,
What is your coping mechanism during stressful situations you come across in life?
I'm curious to know your responses! so plz don't be afraid to answer, even if you choose to do so anonymously!

Sadly, I shut down and or eat. But I can normaly snap out quick. Just have to let it take its course.
