What always calms you down when you’re really stressed out and upset?

What methods do you use to calm you down when you're really upset? Does it always work and if so, is it instant or works over time?

Valium 😄 

 

I've built up a huge tolerance over the years from taking more than I was supposed to so it doesn't always work anymore.  Sometimes I go for a walk or a swim.  That usually helps at least a little.

Pets always have a way of getting you to relax that they use instinctively - I have had 5 different sets of dogs since I was kid and it's something I always noticed.

Being overly dependent on drugs isn't good for your body over the long term. Maybe give yourself a break from it for at least a month. On the other hand, walking and swimming are pretty relaxing activities that I also like to do when I'm stressed.
