stress relieve

It keeps getting worse. I harmed myself today but I couldn't even do that properly and I feel like a failure. Is there a way to relieve my stress? (except drugs)

I relieve stress by (in no particular order)

- Beating on inanimate objects that wont easily break (bats & balls feature in this but it can be anything)
- Strong exercise, long enough to get that endorphin high
- Something completely distracting (a really good movie/TV show/book, something you get emotionally invested in)
- Sitting quietly, closing my eyes, and repeating a mantra , 'Im just a stranger in this world, I've got a home on high, so far away'*

*this is just a song lyric I found that helps me, not an eternal truth or anything
