How do you handle stress or pressure?

I have several ways I deal with stress or pressure. All of which are self-destructive. If the stress or pressure is minimal, I overeat, mostly carbs, until I am numb, and fall into a food coma. If the stress or pressure is more intense, I withdraw into myself and hide in my room. Sometimes sleeping for days. If the stress or pressure was from something I did wrong, I punish myself in many different ways, which are too personal to talk about here. I don't deal with stress or pressure very well, and since it is almost a daily thing,I am not a very healthy person, but I'm working on it. 🙂

@WildMountainRose Life is tough but we handle ourselves the best way we can, especially as we get older because the stressors change. It feels good to have a positive outlook to put it in better perspective
