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

Porn and knock several out. A bad day is about 5 over the course of an evening. A really good day usually ends the same way. An OK way I'd fire off about 3 live rounds.

Basically, never sit down on the furniture in my place.

If it's a tough day mentally because of work or whatever - I generally find hitting the gym or going for a run to be the best thing I can do to clear the head. Getting some adrenaline going seems to just clear the head. I'd imagine swimming or something would be good also.

If it's a tough day psychically - couple of glasses of red wine or a few nice beers and watch Netflix or read something.

If the weather is ok, I might walk home from work, or go for a cycle. I used to play handball which was an amazing way to relieve stress.

If you're not drinking alcohol or the weather is not good for exercise, I'd agree with the posters above. A bit of manual relief works a charm

I like to watch some casting couch auditions.

A drink. Went to the supermarket for a nice bottle of wine, thinking I'd treat myself after a tough couple of days, but I just opened it now and the sodding cork fell to bits. So now I'm fishing bits of cork out of my very weird tasting Rioja, having tried and failed to sieve it. Still drinking it though.

Go to bed with a pot of tea and a book

The Backwards Man · 08-03-2016 09:01PM

I like to watch young men playing with balls.

marmurr1916 · 08-03-2016 09:03PM

I get the oul chainsaw out.

osarusan · 08-03-2016 09:04PM

Beer/whiskey or two, combined with a book, some music, or some of David Attenborough's nature programmes.

maudgonner · 08-03-2016 09:10PM

On the drive home I will alternate between loud singing and replaying arguments in my head. Maybe some crying.*

Then when I get home I'll lash into the junk food and rewatch a favourite tv show.

*My drive home is on country back roads. I wouldn't recommend this if you commute in traffic. I definitely wouldn't recommend it if you use public transport - that has a way of making a bad day get much, much worse.

I have quite the arsenal.

If it's been a very mentally draining day then I need to be by myself. I put on my favourite jammies and get in to bed. I'll watch a gritty and grim crime series. Most people would be reaching for the comedy but not me. I want to feel those bad boy feelings dammit.

There will also be food. Something warm that reminds me of childhood like a big bowl of creamy mash or fish finger sandwiches or maybe not so warm and then it will be a whole tub of Ben and Jerry's. Before sleep it will be about 20 minutes of concentrating on my breath while listening to the beautiful voice of Ane Brun.

Robsweezie · 08-03-2016 11:32PM

I like those ASMR videos. Haircuts, eye exams, roleplay situations. The whispering is what does it for me. Some of it sends shivers down your spine.

scdublin · 09-03-2016 06:19PM

Go for a nice walk. Nothing better than some fresh air and nice views to clear your head. Then head home, make a good dinner and watch some tv.

That or curl up in a ball in bed thinking about the things that need to be done that I have no intention of doing anytime soon.

thattequilagirl · 09-03-2016 06:27PM

I had a bath, put on a face mask and watched some comedy.

It worked perfectly- I slept perfectly and woke up in much better form.

Boom_Bap · 09-03-2016 06:33PM

In recent times I like getting out for a run with some decent music on the go. I get exercise, I get air in my lungs and takes my mind off the day, or at least threash out in my head what happened that day. It's all gone by the time I've finished running.
The shower afterwards and melting into the couch feels glorious.

Supergurrier · 09-03-2016 06:48PM

Shower
Hop into lazy clothes
Watch tv with the pooch
A nice beer or two.

Wichita Lineman · 09-03-2016 07:03PM

Golf, unless it's dark.

If it's dark then watching movies usually works.

It used to be solpadeine (I have a back injury - it's not just recreational) so I could actually relax. Now I'm pregnant so not only am I not able to take painkillers, I also have no appetite so can't even eat nice food or drink

I live in the bath nowadays and I'm binge watching Buffy on Netflix (desperate times). The only salvation is that in September I will be getting my newborn baby head sniffing fix - there isn't a drug as addictive as the smell of a newborn's head

I'm a pro at that one. Also, picking a fight with someone I love over something pointless :P

Im the exact same .The scenarios that play out in my head after a tough day frighten myself.:D

Casey78 · 09-03-2016 07:22PM

Go for a run.

ScumLord · 09-03-2016 07:25PM

I dress up as batman and physically assault people for minor crimes like littering, or parking in disabled car parking spaces.

CruelCoin · 09-03-2016 09:13PM

Shoot people in the face.

GTA V is a wonderful thing.

daveyeh · 26-03-2016 10:56AM

Head to the local swimming pool and sink a few beers with a spliff while floating on an inflatable ring.

Followed by a good old pooperbate in the shallow end before the police turn up. Bliss.

AppleBottle · 26-03-2016 10:57AM

I usually will order food and eat rings around myself. Then chill out, maybe watch some kind of chick flick.
