Lootequiette: Pmann's Totally Original/Unaffiliated Thread

[Deleted member 1306910]

Look at some of the best selling albums of all time.

Michael Jackson’s Thriller
The Eagles Greatest Hits
Pink Floyd’s The Wall
Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours

Those are popular. And they don’t get much better than that.

Aww, I don't care what you say, you love me. *beams*

Nope. You’re popular.

It has been a while since I’ve posted here, which is a shame because this thread is fun.

So I had kind of a stressful week. Now, I’m not asking for your pity. I know so many will be compelled to send me messages checking on me and making sure that I’m okay. I assure you, I will survive.

I find myself laying back and retreating a bit when I get stressed. I don’t get less productive. I just don’t want to be bothered. I need me time. And that’s not a euphemism. I just want to be left alone.

But that leads me to my question. How do you handle stress? Do you shut down? Do you need to be around people? Do you have a specific activity you like to do? Work out? Retail therapy? Drink? Heroin?

 

[Deleted member 6568729]

I cry. I vent to my friends. I might have a few drinks and smoke a little. I pretty much never want to be left alone. Being stuck with nothing but my own thoughts? <shudders>

Not always well. There have been times I've shut down, times I've melted down. I'm not proud to say I've had some straight up Bobby Knight moments. Figuring out some things through therapy definitely helped. How past trauma can effect how you respond to present issues. Cognitive behavioral therapy and coping methods have helped.

Depends on what the problem is too really. Work shit I generally just put my head down and plow through. I can definitely be practical about realistic solutions.

I either get louder here or don’t participate.

Do you shut down?

Essentially

Do you need to be around people?

Nope. I need alone time to recharge

Do you have a specific activity you like to do?

Read. Drive. Garden. Text with people who are low maintenance.

Work out?

Sometimes long walks. Yoga.

Retail therapy?

I window shop on Amazon

Drink?

Bourbon and wine are for fun not coping.

Heroin?

 

[Love_Is_Blonde]

Yeah I feel similarly to MM. I have to stay busy. I’ll clean the fuck out of something, cook, walk, read. I want to talk with friends but at the same time I don’t want to bring them down, and also I have a hard time putting my feelings into words when I’m upset.

I need time to recharge.

Happy to see this back

I’m better at dealing with stress on my own, but that’s not to say I don’t value care and support - I just don’t tend to seek it out. I usually start by shutting down, but quickly move on either fixing it (if it’s fixable) or exercising until I’m thinking more of my exhaustion than stress. Sex helps too - not just in getting my mind off it, but often times something about the intimacy can put the stressful situation into perspective.

 

[Dribble]

God
Grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change
The courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference

When stress becomes more than just stress...I am failing to recognize I can't change everything.

 

[aussiegeekygal]

I'm pretty stoked to see this thread back. Makes me miss chainey boy.

Sorry you've been so stressed, dude. Have you tried masturbation? Word is (according to pervs here) masturbation is a great stress relief. I wouldn't know, of course. I'm a saint

I can get dysregulated quite easily and the best stress relief for me is making sure I get enough rest, food, water, movement, etc. My job can get pretty stressful and I've started working out as a way to keep the stress at bay. When I'm hella stressed, sometimes I just need a good cry. And a joint. That helps

 

[hotwords229_A]

If I’m stressed I have to assume it’s because of people, so no, I don’t need to be around them.
I‘m a go for a walk, mow the lawn, build a monument kind of guy. Give me a project to keep me busy.
Stress usually turns to anger pretty quickly with me too, so I like to vent—also better when people aren’t around.

Nature relieves stress. Go to nature.

Unless your stress is based on a bear trying to kill you, in which case nature is not the solution.

 

[hotwords229_A]

I was also thinking that when I do get stressed I notice that my lower back starts to hurt. I guess that’s a tension spot for me. It could also mean I slept weird, or sat for too long. But usually stress.

Does anyone else have a physical sign that stress is creeping up on them?

I wish it worked like this for me. But when I'm stressed I don't even think about sex and I don't even remotely have the capability of getting aroused. Even for solo play. It's a bummer.

Getting the right amount of sleep is a HUGE help. You're more oxygenated and have energy. Exercise is great too. I need to make way more time for that.

My shoulders and neck hurt and get really tight. And my feet hurt. When I’m not stressed, I’m all pliable and stretchy. When I am, I feel like I’m 90.

I don’t come here. I usually do something low key and chill out. Repeating the mantra of “this too shall pass” and “life is pretty fucking good”. Or it will be. Eventually.

If you’re in hell, you might as well keep walking. Sitting still ain’t going to get you anywhere.

Or herion. It’s safer than fenty.

My left eye twitches. Super fucking annoying.

My neck and shoulders hurt. That’s where I hold my stress. No bueno

I once worked as a sexual masseuse. All pro-bono of course. Doing the lords work I was.

 

[Dribble]

I wake up after a couple hours asleep...and lay there...exhausted...for the next 3 hours...wishing I can turn the brain off. I realize I am actually falling in and out of sleep. But it isn't restful.

I've had similar symptoms from stress. I get a burning feeling inside my left shoulder blade... I assume it's because I'm sleeping poorly? but then again I always sleep poorly and most days have a sore stiff neck.

I have also dealt with ED due to stress.... First noticed it around 25yrs old when I was working 6am - 7 or 8pm 7 days a week with a very demanding boss. I worked like that for 14 months but the ED only surfaced the week before a major deadline then went away after. I was also drinking 20+ cups of coffee per day and only sleeping 4 hours at night...... anyways, it manifested in 2 opposite ways. I either couldn't stay hard longer than 30secs OR I would stay hard for 2 or 3 hours but I could not cum. I know it sounds nice, but several times she would get just tired and sore and we stopped...... I was very aroused and we still had fun. But it bothered us both a lot.

I took a few days off and we spent 4 days making up for lost time and improving our combined confidence!!!!

No sleep, a ton of coffee and a demanding boss? That will kill a boner for sure!

 

[SixShooter14]

yeah. And to make it worse, my gf at the time was quite....curvy but like so many folks, she insisted she was "fat" and "ugly" and that I didn't find her "attractive".

It was a very difficult time.
