Best strategy for coping on a particularly stressful day? Do you:
1. Go into the washroom and cry.
2. Bottle it up and drown in a bottle at home afterwards.
3. Snap back at whoever/whatever is pissing you off.
4. Call up someone and cry/rant
5. Any other suggestions

5. Look at current job postings and the low pay being offered. Usually snaps me out of my misery pretty fast.

Oh my! Way to go with the reality check 😂🤭

It's usually number 4 for me as well. Sometimes I just need to turn the filter off and let loose. I'll even journal about it if I don't have anyone to call at that moment, I just need to get my frustrations out there somehow. I usually hit the gym after work so that also helps relieve the stress of the day

I am wired differently than most. Coffee calms me down. It doesn't matter if it's hot or iced.
I found another quirky coping trick. I take a post-it or any scrap piece of paper any write the first letter of every word I wish I could just blurt or shout out in frustration. If someone saw the scribbles they would have no clue.
Example...I will do this for the sentence above: isststwhnc. It allows me to release any steam and frustration so I don't have to bottle it up or burden someone else. Probably just another way my brain is wired odd.

No 4 is usually so therapeutic especially if it's someone you can let loose with and just air all the frustrations without filtering for political correctness

I try not to snap but TBH occasionally I do. Most often try and get out for a minute and go for a walk to decompress. Have been known to decompress with a glass of wine from time to time.

4 for sure or 2 but with a yummy snack/treat as a reward for putting up with people instead of a bottle
