how do you personally, deal with stress, trauma, anger, fear and paranoia?

I use meditation…it’s pretty effective.

I write it all out, or I read. The writing lets me vent and reading let’s me escape.

music. or be with my friend who i like and me and her just talk about anything and we clear our minds with everything. and try to help each other out.

I excersise it calms me down and it releases any pent-up emotions

much respect for that method. i could never do it. my mind is always racing. i can never slow my mind an concentrate on one or two ideas and relax the mind. how do you meditate? ( you as in you personally ) if you dont mind telling

Well, it’s not a simple process…I had a really hard time focusing as well in the beginning, but it’s just something you learn to do with practice…I find a quiet room and a comfortable position help, and just…relax…

Honestly, as lame as it is. Let it out. Cry, punch a pillow, throw socks at ur mirror. whatevr gets u thru the hard times! its best not to take ur anger out on other ppl no matter how sad u r!

i tell my best friend everything, so i basically let it all out to her… and if im alone i usually listen to my ipod and try getting my mind of it

i go for really long walks or runs and take it all out right there by myself. or i get a really good book and just keep reading til i can’t keep my eyes open anymore. it takes me away from reality.

Metallica, violent video games, and sparing with my best mate.

After a bad day at work, lots of Metallica very loud.
When my g/f broke up with me, lots of Metallica very loud, and my friend and I beat the hell outa each other. When my mom died, lots of Metallica very loud, and my brother and I slaughtered each other in Soul Caliber.

And when it all gets to much I disappear out to my best mates house for the weekend.

“throw socks” Have to remember that. Knives put holes in the wall that are a paint to patch……
