Relaxation techniques[views:11503][posts:79]____________________________________ [Feb 3,2012 10:56am - Alx_Casket ""] This topic came to mind because I enjoy the task of shoveling snow during the winter, and I feel slightly off since I've only had to shovel once. Dealing with snow usually balances out the warmer months, when I garden and do yard work. That mostly entails pulling invasive weeds out from my yard, which I then let dry and use to start fires. This is opposed to my neighbors who use chemicals to kill whatever they don't want growing, then ask me how I get my lawn looking so healthy. There's also riding bmx, hiking, golfing, and looking at pictures of cats, obvi. What does everyone do to relax their mind and body? I'm sure everyone on this site can agree that music is satisfying in various degrees. What else do you find soothing? |

| _______________________________________________ [Oct 24,2012 6:23am - truequintessence_nli ""] Listening to music is about the only thing that relaxes me, that and exercise of any kind. Anything other than that is just something else that makes me anxious, stressed, agrivated and makes it hard to stay sober/clean. :\\ |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 24,2012 10:20am - trioxin245 ""] whats up with exercise relaxing people? I mean i like excercise but it suuuuuucks. |

| _____________________________________ [Oct 24,2012 11:24am - trioxin245 ""] depression is for faggots. |
| ________________________________________ [Oct 24,2012 11:32am - AndrewBastard ""] ^^ yup |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 24,2012 11:38am - trioxin245 ""] everyone gets sad and bummed out, calling it a 'condition' like depression is just making excuses and using it as a crutch. Excercise to be healthier or gtfo. Also on that note, only recreational drugs are real. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 24,2012 11:41am - arilliusbm ""] Depression is caused by chemical imbalances in the brain. It has nothing to do with people making excuses, although a lot of pseudo-depressed FB idiots do. I don't know if you're serious or not, but real depression isn't to be fucked around with. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 24,2012 11:41am - trioxin245 ""] it's kind of like the whole 'its not your kids fault hes doing bad in school, he has a DISORDER.' fuck that shit, all it does is allow the person to avoid being accountable for sucking at school. your kid doesnt have some made up ADD bulshit, he just hates school and needs a smack to remind him not to fuck around. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 24,2012 11:43am - trioxin245 ""] Theyve been telling me my whole life Im clinically depressed. Fuck all that bullshit, life isnt that hard. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 24,2012 11:46am - trioxin245 ""] Im not saying it isnt a real thing, Ive just seen too many people whine about how theres nothing they can do about their shitty life because they have 'chemical imbalances' instead of just manning the fuck up, being accountable, and making the changes that need to be made to have the life they want. If a shithole person like me can do it, anyone can. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 24,2012 11:47am - arilliusbm ""] I've got low-level drepression (dysthymic disorder) and fucking love it. It makes everything negative and makes writing music easier. |

| ______________________________ [Oct 24,2012 1:39pm - ark ""] took a run and a cooldown after work, vaped up and put on champion's league soccer. THAT SHIT WORKED. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 24,2012 2:01pm - Alx_Casket ""] I agree with there being too many people claiming they're "depressed" just because they had a bad day, but true depression is a neurochemical state as aril said. That difference is one of the things I use for lyrical content when writing songs. And sorry Ross, that was a romney thing for me to say and didn't mean to insult you. |
