How do you relax when you're very stressed? I've been drawing. It's been therapuetic. What do...

Well all right, the art is back! 🙂
I pass out and get needed rest.

I watch things on YouTube, I might study, draw, and sometimes even cry, and then I feel better. But mostly I try to get out of that mood and think positive. I think your outlet of drawing is very good and it's very beautiful. I enjoy writing at times, as well.

It depends on what is stressing me, but removing myself from the source is my best way. That could mean a walk, a ride out on a bus or train on my own, having a coffee with a friend or just locking myself in my home with my favourite YT travelogue presenters. Sadly, my former delight of reading is no longer an option as my concentration levels are reduced. That's also why I can't just get into the car and drive for pleasure.

Woah that's really cool. It'd hurt my hand after a while I think lol.
Playing with my kid always soothes me. Or listening to calming music. Maybe smoking some weed

Awake time: I go to YouTube and dial in one of those 1930s/40s music sites, the ones that go for a few hours nonstop. Then project it to follow me anywhere in the house. Mostly upbeat, happy songs. AND find unemotional tasks that require some concentration or focus, like do the laundry, wash the dishes, etc. I always have a stack of those tasks waiting for the next time I feel stressed :)

Time to sleep time: I also go to YouTube and dial in one of those thunderstorm, heavy rain sites, one with a black screen. Then turn out the lights and find a pleasant sleep position. Works every time :)

Get to the meaning of whats hurting you...mumble talk to yourself give yourself the space to hash it out so to speak, and make big rules for yourself, like dont do anything too quick or any kind of forceful...and then pull out the brushes or walking shoes or some kind of good ideas.

Have a variety of hobbies.
Spend time with your family.
Spend time with people.

Get up fifteen minutes earlier, make sure you leave the house tidy. Make sure the washing up done!

Leave work at work, or in a room at home.
