This was written a tad later than the prompt intended, but I can vividly recall the extreme amount of stress that I had to deal with. And by deal with it, I mean I didn't deal with it, I don't know how to deal with stress, I just let it consume me until I am a giant ball of anxiety for the rest of all time. So yeah. Not necessarily great. Usually I "deal with it" by yelling at my younger brother or throwing my things across the room. I've heard that coloring is supposed to relief stress. It really doesn't for me. I find it enjoyable, but my hands also shake when I'm trying hard to keep steady, and so I end up drawing outside of the lines. And then I get frustrated, and then I'm even more stressed than I was before I began coloring. Sometimes I go for a run, but generally my most stressful moments occur at midnight, when it's too late to run. Also I don't like running, despite the fact that I'm on the cross country team. Hmm. Oftentimes when I find myself in a stressful situation (especially one in which I am expected to do many things in a short amount of time) I take a nap. Which is a great idea, because rather than actually fixing the issues that cause the stress, I procrastinate and end up being even MORE stressed than I was originally. So yeah, if you read this in order to find new ways to deal with your stress, sorry. You definitely shouldn't be taking any type of advice from me, especially about dealing with stress.
