    Avoid people at all cost, usually go out somewhere where I can be alone. Sit in a cafe, watch people :D

    I normally cry and I go really quiet, I don't do anything at all and I don't talk to anyone.
    Or I go sleep, I feel better the next day.

    Sit on my bed and try to calm down - if it doesn't work I have a glass of freezing water :)

    I sleep.
    I used to sleep out on the roof but we've moved house.

    Or I go out - sometimes it helps to get away from it all

    Hot fudge covered brownies are the best comfort food. A powernap usually helps to calm me down as well.

    There is an incredible new area of psychological research called "Mindfulness" which is an exciting combination of meditation, self-hypnosis and sound scientific principles, that has shown to be extremely effective at reducing stress.

    I'm not normally interested in such wishy-washy ideas, but this has significant evidence behind it.

    Also i'm keenly interested in bio-feedback as a treatment for stress. This involves using equipment to monitor the bodily signs of stress, then systematically training your body through your mind to release and relax.

    I also wanted to say that if there is anyone here who is stressed and really wants someone to talk to, that they should feel free to contact me. I'm a trained clinical psychologist who is just about to begin supervision and enter the field, so i should be able to answer any questions and at the very least be a sympathetic ear.

    Yeah, I agree with the post saying listening to music.

    Listening to soothing music and just singing is great!
