| Dealing With Stress... Watching the weather channel most of the day on hurricane Katrina's progress I have found myself becoming stressed to say the least. I found myself anxious and not able to sit still much today with smoking heavier than normal. How do you deal with stress in your life? Do you sleep and hide?, Take part in physical activity, drink mass quantities of alcohol (LOL), take a long drive somewhere, etc. I honestly might do all the above mentioned, LOL.

| I'm sorry you're stressed about the hurricane. I have been thinking about those who may be in the path. to deal with stress I smoke a lot of cigarettes and eat junk food. Both are horrible, but it makes me feel better.

| When I'm stressed, I take an extra long walk with Otis, or I hang out with my boyfriend because he always makes me laugh. |

| When I'm stressed, I hold Yoda, and pet him and play with him and look at him. He makes everything better! I've also noticed that looking at Yorkie pictures is rather relaxing, as is taking a nice nap. I'd advise against driving while angry or stressed, especially in traffic! |

| I tend to stress easily, and I have a hard time dealing with it. I should be on meds, but I don't want to take any just yet. I try to breathe deep, focus on nonstressful things, read a book that I know the ending of, so no surprises will stress me. Play with pups and with my children. Relax by the pool. |

| Sometimes I take the healthy way and go workout extra hard like last night. Other times I become a hermit crab, drink mass quantities of wine and eat horrible, but delicious comfort foods (last weekend). Then there are the times where I sit and give my sweet Merlot a massage while telling him all my woes! I figure whatever works, as long as it get's you unstressed!! |

| Stress Sucks! I'm a high high high extrovert but when I get stressed I want to be alone, be quiet, and not talk about anything. I usually get in my favorite jammies, crawl into bed with SImon and Hallie, drink some wine, turn my phone off and do nothing! |

Yorkie Lover Donating Member | For me, either walking with the girls, taking a nap, or working out seems to help me...but then there is always chocolate, which always helps!! Sometimes a long hot bubble bath is great....

Donating YT 14K Club Member | I don't watch the weather channel unless absolutely necessary! LOL! When I'm stressed as I've been the past few days, I work in my yard. We have one of those pools that you blow up the top ring and add water...WELL, since my pool has been gross since my Vegas trip, I decided to drain it...it's 4 ft deep...scrub it and refill it again...weeded all of my flower beds and trim the edge of the sidewalk with scissors...since I can't get my hubby's weedeater to work. But it's all good now...he finally bought the string for my weedeater!
