What keeps you grounded?

[EminencE]

alot of us have different stresses to deal with whether it be school, work or personal love life...

so my question to you is.. what, or who keeps you grounded when you're stressed out?"

when you're about to do irrational things, who (or what) keeps you from doing them?

that would have to be my cat

i live by myself with my cat named Bella and she is my everything

sounds corni but i thought i lost her one time and my world came crashing down then she came out from her hiding spot :c-tard:

other one would be my best friend mayra- she doesn't put up withmy shit and when i need a reality check she is the first one to let me know

Music, my friends, and being able to vent on the in-tard-web-net.

Music... depending on the issue that arises, different music puts me in different moods.

Creative Outlashing... I don't draw as much as I used to, but I used to draw a lot when I was stressed, art that isn't meant to be seen by anyone else but the creator.. same goes for writing.

Sitting outside my window... I used to sit on my roof when I was in my other room. It was a good place to 'escape' to, where I could think.... except for those times I almost fell off my roof..

Screaming/breaking things (OHHH LIMP BIZKIT!@~!)/taking it out on inantimate objects through violence, ie. punching walls and whatnot. Could be expensive.

Close select group of people I call my friends and loved ones that take my shit even when I'm a bitch and they should shove me in a blender and throw my remains in a ditch and urinate on them. Uhh yeah.

there are a lot of people/things that play a huge role in helping me deal with shit.. but of the most influencial, I'd have to say:

my boyfriend plays a huuuuuge part in helping me deal with stressful and sometimes, what feels like hopeless situations. even hearing his voice or smelling his scent is enough to put me in a better mood. he's always there to make me realize how special I am and never seems to stop believing in me.

then, there are 2 of my best friends whom I've known since I was 10. they're great for bitching about stuff, as well as those very serious heart to heart moments. and they're awesome for letting me see things in a different light when I'm too deluded to see it for myself.

then, there's my music. depending on the music, I can go from being totally depressed to happy and cheery in moments.

I would have to my friend Nicole aka *SparkiE*.
She always knows how to make me in a better mood and shit..

i'm too lazy to stress out or do irrational things...

smoke a joint and forget about it.

[starsprite]

My dancing...helps me through everything.
and my best friend Michelle.

I rarely ever get stressed or angry. I can only remember 2 times in my life where I've ever been angry and the few times I do get angry, I get incredibly angry but I have a habit of just breathing it out. like relaxation type meditation. I'm a really hard person to anger.
I don't bottle up my anger either. I don't dwell on a lot of things.

anyways, to keep grounded, I punch things, often as hard as I can, bruising my knuckles for weeks...
I practice karate,
read/write poetry,
meditate,
run till I'm about to pass out.

[~lazee_grrl~]

my dog..she's always willing to go on a walk with me~...

and my friends...that i vent to~

[cinist]

being cold and numb to everything i hate

[Forgettable]

I don't really get stressed

though every once in awhile, I do get angry/frustrated.
for those times, Hardcore, Booze and Videogames (all at once in my fortress of solitude) take the edge off.

[Ragga_Wh0re]

my writing keeps me grounded and my best friends Alicia and Jordan and my niece :) and music of coarse and drugs

[yoko*]

I think that numbness is the only thing that will help me through anything any more..

so from now on, the emotional switch gets shutdown.

[Miss T]

I have a really close guy friend who's the only thing in the world that can keep me grounded. anything that goes wrong he can make it all better even if all he does is play his guitar for me.
