What do you usually do when you're upset?

I'm upset... I mean I was upset few hours ago. My sister's unique but annoying way of asking favors and my friend's firm "NO" to my constant request blew me up! And it happened simultaneously, can you imagine that? Worse, it's Ash Wednesday (the beginning of the liturgical season of Lent for Christians), and I went to church with a heavy heart. After the mass, I was feeling okay, but the "call" to loosen up my nerves resonated and there I was ----- driving around the town, dropped by my favorite steak house and gobbled down its famous cheese burger, and off I went shopping! Whew! Perfectly combined catalysts for a broke week ahead, huh! As I'm witing this, I'm feeling better... but I'll see what happens when I get up tomorrow...LOL~~~ I hate being upset, but yeah, it's one of man's natural responses to everyday stressors. I just have to be more patient and not expect people to be what I want them to be! I wish I'll develop a different way of relaxing, other than eating and shopping...sigh! What about you? How do you lighten up when upset?

We have a lot of different way of relaxing or lighten up our heavy feeling when we are upset. What you are doing is something i want myself to do. Imagine, upset yet eating in a steak house with a cheese burger and all? After that, a shopping spree? Geezz, I wish I could do that. Anyhow, it is indeed difficult to expect people to be what you want them to be. Some things are beyond our control, and that's one of them. I wish everything will be okay tomorrow, especially your EP Fair lol.

I haven't answered your question yet. Whenever I'm upset, I usually listen to music or go to sleep. Sometimes I watch a movie that I downloaded, or just look at the wall with eyes wide open. Very boring, right? That's why I wish to be like you when I'm upset.

Yes, that is correct "OUR EP FAIR" . Were you talking about looking at the wall? Or the entire things I'm doing, like watching downloaded movies----or worst yet, pirated videos? Haha.. With regards to your figure that it explained everything, I BEG to DISAGREE. You look better and better each time. Is it because of "KR"? Opps, i won't tell more. Happy mylotting.

Hahahaha! Correction please, OUR EP Fair! Indeed, some things are beyond our control, thanks for that! Your way of relaxing isn't really boring because I sometimes do some of them when I'm sad. Don't be surprised by the eating drama coz my figure explains it all, lol! Goodluck to us...

When i am upset, i jsut try to be me and myself . I love to walk alone in places without too much noise or where there are water falls . I love to listen the rain . I love to be alone when i`m upset and i wanna be happy again . In a few hours i`ll be happy again, but sure, this really depends on the level of the problem . When i`m upset i fell just like i`m in a game, and nothing really matters too much for me in thouse moments .

Hello, delkar. I love to take a walk too, or be alone not just in my room but in the house. I feel like I need to talk to myself, pamper myself even just so I can regain my "lost" moment of being happy. Thanks for sharing.

Lucky computer, 1anurag1, coz you consider it your bestfriend! I envy you that you can still study when upset...wow, that's strange, at least for me! Anyway, we all have different ways of quieting down when upset. Thanks for the response!
