Ways to Unwind

Hi All, I am new here and i thought since my first thread was just me introducing myself i would start another that was a little more constructive.

We all have really bad days where everything seems to go wrong and each person has a way to unwind and regroup in there own company. Whats urs?

I usually find going for a drive, listening to loud music, watching a happy film or even meditating when my mind is really active can help me calm down a bit.

I wish I could drive but I'm only 13 :roll:

Sometimes, I organize things, strange but it helps me. Listening to music also seems to help me a lot.

However if I'm feeling very negative, I sometimes write an IM to somebody complaining bitterly about a certain group of people (usually people with confidence haha) but then I never end up sending it. Still, it makes me feel better.

Me too - i have to find a way to focus my mind.
I like to listen to music as well and watch funny or pleasant movies, so i can have a bit of a laugh and get myself in a bit of a better mood. I also exercise - just on a treadmill - it always makes me feel better afterwards.

I learnt this thing few days ago. Grab a pillow and start screaming in it. get everything out of you in that pillow, curse at any person you ever wanted to curse at. Cry if you could. That really helps me!
I learnt it from Lilo & Stitch movie, i really liked it.

I'm too repressed to even do that - might force myself to do it at some stage to see if it does anything for me - sounds delightfully cathartic.

i am definatly gonna try exersize, i need to loose the beer belly anyway. the shouting into a pillow idea sounds good to, but my pillow has never done anything to deserve the abuse i would give it.

I listen to my favourite music, read a book, write in my journal, go out for a walk, play games on my computer, or I watch TV.

i wish i would have recognized my social phobia when i was closer your age.. you still so have so much growing and learning to do. T_T that's probably about the time my SP/SA was triggered, i started dressing all gothic and drinking and smoking weed.. smoking weed had by far the worst effect on my condition, and i wish i would have never even tried it, let alone smoke it for five years :?
