I've taken notice a lot of people have trouble dealing with stress, pent up emotions/thoughts, etc.
I thought it would help a lot for people, who already know how to deal with it, to share their methods so others who might have not been told so, or attempted so, can try it out and see if it works for them!
Or of course, just to share because sharing is always great.
Personally, I let out stress on videogames.
My pent up feelings/thoughts usually are discreetly put into a piece of writing, usually a short story.
Anyone else care to contribute? heart

Running or physical activity. Nothing better than lifting weights or running when you are angry or upset. I also escape into reading, video games, or watching TV. To try to get perspective, I go and walk in a nature center or park. Just being in nature relaxes me.

This may seem like a weird way of doing it, but I usually just forget about whatever it is. sweatdrop sweatdrop sweatdrop

Music.
I listen to a lot of postive, uplifting music to get myself out of the stressful mindset. Bif Naked's "I Love Myself Today" is usually put on repeat.

I Have about Three-Four Ways, they Are...:
1. Forget about it,
2. Play Bloody/hard/Fun/Any kind of Video game that matches with my Pain,
3. Play Rock/Sad/Old Music,
4. Do my Father's Favorite way; Smile, it can always get worse.

I read. To be more specific, I immerse myself into a fantasy and pretend the world doesn't exist. smile

for me i like to read, write, listen to music, or meditate. if im sad and depressed its usually music. the song darlin' by avril lavigne tends to lift my spirits and make me stronger. when im mad its writing. i write poetry of what im feeling which is why most of it is angry and sad. after i do that i will try to get my mind off what ever it is i was thinking about which is where the reading or meditating comes in. and if that doesn't work i go to sleep and let my subconscious deal with it for me.

Reading all these, they aren't entirely helping me.
I listen to music to let it aborb whatever negative feeling, but thats apparenlty not the healtiest way.
Excersize tends to make it worse since if I have negative emotions I can't physically deal with it (I freeze, paralyzed, too deep in thought as the mind is over the body, so therefore I have to fix the mind first)
Going and clipping fantasy (Sometimes there not really happy thoughts) worlds and daydreaming I tend to do no matter what state I'm in
Writing a story nobody will read is depressing and I dislike writing by hand, therefore the story is just in my head (Read above answer).
I tend to attempt to forget about it though I never seem to fully forget about it and even if I use logic and try to reason with myself that my negative emotions insignificant in the end it'll come back to bite me and alter my behavior in some way.
I figured Meditating might work so I can control my thoughts, but I wonder if that'll just repress the thoughts and just come back to bite me again alot. It takes dicipline and i figured that would be a good practice to learn and be healthy in general
I may not sound like a healthy person, I'm too stubborn for a therapist in which the fact that I can lay out my problems before me and try to reason with myself is enough for me to prove I don't need one. I'm just figuring there is no real way and I'm a very unstressful person in the end and avoid all stress at all cost with these methods, but in the end when I face an emotionally stressful situation (Which I'm not good at dealing with emotions) I tend to handle them worse than others.
Anything I can truly do? Because so far I just plan to live with myself which I don't think myself is a terrible thing either. I have a normal self esteem.

It takes a lot of people some time to find the right way to cope with it.
As long as it calms you down without compressing them even more, it's healthier than not dealing with it at all smile
For listening to music, instead of finding one of positive feeling, have you tried finding a song that fits how you feel and singing along?
Whenever I write, I usually put it somewhere that people CAN see it. Usually posting it up on an online journal of some sort. Or one that supports creative writing.
Sometimes people who need a therapist actually, in fact, could be helped by just a good friend willing to listen.
Anyway, it's kind of like a talent. Some people find theirs right away, some people take ages to figure it out.
Living with yourself isn't necessarily a bad idea, as long as you don't trap those feelings even more while doing so.
Sorry if this doesn't help at all >.<

It does to a degree. I mostly listen to music on how I feel because listening to postive music just puts me in a worse mood (But listening to music based on how I feel just reminds me to feel that way and increases it, yet it does get me into some sort of acceptance with myself). The posting stories doesn't sound like a bad idea. I have a special someone to be my therapist if needed (He's actually going to be a psychologist ironic enough). I just don't want to go to a proffesional to help cope with some life (I'm paying him while I tell him sob stories that he doesn't care about and what I naturally don't and shouldn't whine about in the first place) I figure the feelings will be trapped in forever since sometimes the damage is just done. But now that I'm thinking on this particular part I think I just found a way to do so. It's a bit embarrassing though. Ok so basically my way that i know for sure that I deal with emotinal stress is crying. I do it very rarely, but when I cry over something (in general just myself) even though it fixes nothing in life it's an odd stress relief . It's a way of mentally forgiving myself in which you think I could just think 'I'm sorry and I forgive myself' but forgiving yourself isn't always that easy and there is always some sort of regret.

Yeah, a lot of people get the feeling that their therapists really aren't listening.
It's good that you have someone you trust there for you when you need them!
Crying's a great way to let it out, some people will say it's unhealthy but I'd disagree anytime. Sometimes it won't come out in any other way, and crying would let it out in the rawest way possible.
It feels even better when the crying is done on, or near someone special. 3nodding
