Stand On Mountains
Virtue alone is nobility.
The Jakobo Prompt
.___Preface!
In case you were wondering, the reason that I don't have Week 1's prompt and Week 2's prompt is because I simply hadn't been a part of them when they were announced. I've always been a late starter on things; this seems to be no different.
But I'm starting now, and that's all that really counts.

Here's Jakobo's journal. [ x ]

.___Prompt!
Quote:
How do you replenish or recharge after an exhausting emotional situation?


.___Response!
[content edited]
In general, I deal with stress in the worst way. I bottle up all my frustration, irritations, rages, and angst all into one big hate-filled rant. Once I rant it out, I usually just go and fume over it, thinking about all the things I hadn't gotten off my chest yet, and that I need to rant about, and some thing better to say back as a retort.

But after something exhausting, I just cry. I feel so weak when I just go curl up somewhere and bawl my eyes out because I know that other guys probably just go bust their fist on the wall or whatever. But after that, I get the most restful sleep I've had in a couple of weeks.

Then the cycle continues. xd

My friend busts his knuckles against the wall to relieve emotional pain. O:
I smacked him once for bragging about it. D(

I'd rather everyone curled up in a corner and cried than leave ugly, unnecessary scars on their hands. When you cry, you get it all over with and you feel good. When you hurt yourself in any way like that, you leave scars, you keep hurting for day, and you're reminded of it every time you see the scars.

But that's just me. Constructive instead of destructive.

It's hard to destress effectively. I actually did bottle things up a lot myself, and it took a while for me to find a slow release for the emotion so I didn't go explodey on people. ^^;

I'd agree though, the sleep after is awesome.
