(+) Yeah! (+)

I need tips, my life has become fucking stressful in the past three days
The computer I'm on seems to be under going breakdown, the cooling fan seems to have stopped working so every once and a while this thing gets too hot and instantly shuts down, the SD card slot stopped functioning so I can't upload my resume for all these applications I've been filling out ever since I got canned.
The weird bumps on my leg are healing but very slowly making me wonder if I should risk going to the hospital and paying out the ass for something that might be nothing
I've got people on my back basically shouting at me that it's been 2 weeks since I lost my job, why haven't I already found another one,ect, because they see all the now hiring signs and think that means walking in and instantly being employed again and there's no process for it
I've ordered a brand new labtop about 200 plus dollars that I'm sure isn't all that great but it has the things I need for the stuff I'l have to do for it, you'd be surprised how many folks demand webcam interviews now.
At first I thought I could use my brother's old labtop he couldn't get into but it turns out not only is the battery dead so he can't use it without the charger but the operating system is corrupted so it won't start up at all and the only way to fix that is taking it apart and ordering some new parts, it's basically a well conditioned hunk of junk sitting in the closet right now

This all sounds like first world problems but they are driving me up the wall and I need an outlet just something to calm my rapidly increasing nerves and deteriorating mental state.

I have lots of sex, TC.

It used to be smoking and beating off.

Now it's just beating off.

I wrote a list of things I remember doing when I was younger that brought joy or pleasure. Things like walking through the woods or writing stories.

I try to revisit those activities as a form of stress relief.

Writing/typing how you feel is also a healthy form of stress relief Ive done.

Venting to friends or even strangers online can also help. Just ensure to preface that you are venting.

Pick up a guitar
Become familiar with the chords: Am, C, D, E, and F
Learn how to play the catchy part of "House of the Rising Sun"
Just play that until you feel confident enough to move onto something else.

Nothing is more soothing than hearing yourself play music. I just discovered it about 16 months ago.

Watching youtube videos about people who are the biggest assholes and being like "At least Im not THAT asshole".

I drink myself stupid.

Although truth be told, my life is relatively stress free these days. I just really like drinking.

You know, I think I can do this one, time to go find a Ted Cruz video

Daydream

The unhealthy outlets are too easy of a routine to fall into. Smoking, jerking, drinking etc.

But its tricky because new hobbies can also bring stress while youre learning whatever it may be lol

shitposting on gamefaqs

try meditation. but it's more of a long term thing, as it takes practice before you really get effective with it.

Play some offline game with minimum stress like American Truck Sim or PC Builder Sim.

Sex for me
