Personally I get real mean to myself and call myself garbage. How about you?
Disengagement.
If I can physically disengage, walking away from the situation, I’d do it. If not, I’ll mentally disengage. Enough times of this, I’ll just default to it: not giving a shit because apparently, no one does.
If I must engage in it anyways, maybe I’ll return to it once I’ve calmed down. If I must do it there and then (so, no time to compose myself), I’d do minimum I can get away with.
Eating junk food mostly

Oh ya, good distinction. Mostly work stress on my end elicits that reaction. How about you, which one impacts you the most and how do you respond?
Depends on the level of stress. At small to medium amounts (beyond background levels) I stop responding to texts from anyone other than my best friend and partner. At high amounts I stop thinking or doing anything and just pace or rot in bed
Well we know what people do under stress and it’s a lot of bad shit.
What are some healthy coping mechanisms? Say a top 10.
I’m a fan of mindfulness and gratitude practice. Also, physical exercise! Nothing like working up a good sweat when I’m mad at myself to feel better after.
Mental regression is the main one

I eat too much then feel guilty about it, including stuff I shouldn’t eat that will make me sick.
Do you like Huey Lewis & The News? Their early work was a little too ‘new-wave’ for my taste, but when ‘Sports’ came out in '83, I think they really came into their own – both commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He’s been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this, ‘Fore’, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is ‘Hip to Be Square’, a song so catchy most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics – but they should! Because it’s not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it’s also a personal statement about the band itself!
I get the strong urge to slam illicit opiates into my veins. But I can’t do that anymore so now I do dif breathing exercises.
Oh that’s so real. I’m like six years clean of opiates - it does get easier, but occasionally my veins get itchy when I get really stressed. Normally relationship stress.
It absolutely depends on the kind of stress and how much im feeling it
Get away and music bathe back to baseline
Fetal position and cry
Mine are all unhealthy but I think my stress is quite high. It was drinking way too much… not it’s having a drink with junk food, staying up late 报复熬夜, and being outwardly anxious
