What do you do to make yourself feel better after a tough day?

thattequilagirl

Long bath?

A drink?

Sex?

Two of the above options aren't open to me right now, and I'm a ball of anxiety/stress.

What do you guys do?

Sometimes I just take a couple of Nurofen Plus and then watch some awful television shows while drinking tea and eating Cocoa Pops.

Which two?

Play "jump on daddy's head" with my kids.
....they came up with that one but there's hugs at the end so all good.

Beer and PlayStation.

Miall108

Playing a game of "hide the sausage" with the wife normally tends to lift my spirits

TerrorFirmer

A drink and watch something stupid like Family Guy/Rick and Morty. Then comfort eat rubbish food.

pickarooney

Peanuts, beer, an oul film and a hug from the kids.

Big Nasty

About eight bottles of decent beer

Aint Eazy Being Cheezy

Everyone's gonna think I'm taking the piss now..

I smother myself in baby oil, stand in the hotpress and pretend that I'm back in the womb.

The_Valeyard

Load up a computer game and chill.

I like all of the items on the list. They can even be in any order, although it's good if some strong red wine is near the beginning. One may also include a firm massage and a good long sleep. Aaaaah!

(and tomorrow will be better)

Retire to the man cave for a spliff, beer & some mellow tunes.

anothernight

Either a cup of tea and a few squares of dark chocolate, or a glass of rosé wine.

Stick on a boxset, preferably with some treats.

Go for a spin on the bike or long walk in the countryside if the weather is good.

Stick on a big fire, a good book, nice glass of red.

Often the most effective thing I can do for anxiety or stress is get in the swimming pool and swim laps until I'm so exhausted I can't think.

If that's not an option, I find a book that can help distract me or binge on a tv show or movies.

I feel for you.

Super-Rush

I have a good chat with herself. Never fails.

Xaracatz

Read a book (well - an eBook).

I almost go online by default, but then it's searching for interesting things, moving through topics, getting bored or else too awake. A good book can just take you out of real-life thinking zone.

Ooh, I like this one. Can't tonight but I can plan it for tomorrow.

OMG this is so true. Going on swings in the playground would totally destress me!

If it's stress in work, I love coming home to warm pjs, either out of the drier or left on the radiator. Have a nice shower to wash the day off. Take my time with lots of nice body moisturiser. Into clean underwear, warm pjs and fluffy socks. Back downstairs for cuddles on the couch and Netflix, no lights on, just a nice candle and the glare of the tv. Sometimes I'll have a glass of wine, sometimes I won't bother. That's my favourite way to end the day.

To be honest smoke some haze

Aongus Von Bismarck

Sauna, clay face mask, mindful meditation, the occasional glass of wine, a really good book.

Hugo Stiglitz

Pizza and a ****.

cherryghost

Video games, some music and a tasty shteak

thattequilagirl

Think I'm going with bath, face mask, Netflix and an early night!

Bottle of wine and laptop..wishing horrible things on whoever ruined my day.
