Breaking point...

[The Amazing Lee]

...Obviously everyone has their own way of dealing with pressure and stressful situations. I just wanna know how well you cope with boiling point and far you go before you break.

I admit, I'm pretty strong and I don't take things to heart as much as I should...so when it really gets TOO much and I pile things up and leave them all boil till the very last minute, I just end up on the floor, in a mess, left to let that primal scream escape.

Not the best kinda situation to be in, but hey everyone's human and everyone gets upset every now and then.

So what's your breaking point and how well do you cope with stress?

and what stressful situations have you been in that you have with well/not so well?

 

[Mee]

Honestly, I can't remember ever being pushed to my "breaking point." Not alot of stress in my life.

 

[Golgo-13]

Everybody thinks they're strong, Lee. So you saying your strong is not a very good assessment of whether your truly strong or not. Your bias, as am i about myself.

 

[Warhammer]

Never been pushed to my breaking point, but it does happen to everyone, eventually.

 

[Speedball]

I'm pretty head strong.
I've only been pushed to my breaking point a few times, mostly because of my brother.
I think I've "exploded" on one other person.

 

[GunBlade]

I think my breaking point would be murder. I'm a bit of a weakling though, I just hide it well.

 

[Warhammer]

I'm a very compassionate person.
I don't like getting mad at people, whamming ****es, or going beast mode on people because I feel bad.

Yeh, me too. I don't think I've ever screamed on someone. I tend to avoid people when I'm pissed off.

 

[Hobgoblin]

I'm more head strong than I used to be. I once dropped out of college for a year due to manic depression. That was after fighting it for nearly a year, and it was definitely a breaking point. My mom died last year and I've been under-emotional ever since. I dont know, life just went on. Does that make me evil?

Well, I wouldn't call myself the strongest, but I do cope with some situations better than others.

But I do admit that I bottle things up until they can't be bottled up anymore.

Sometimes I think I'm a closet depressive.

But hey, life isn't all about happiness, I just need to fight against everything unhappy.

 

[Kyalesyin]

I'm too laid back about a lot of things to really need a breaking point. Most stuff just slides straight past me and doesn't get to me. When something does though, I can normally calm down before I blow out.

I can never see an explosion coming though. Whenever I do have a massive blow up and smack someone, I'm the last person to see it coming.

 

[Assassin]

I hold it in from work, school and stuff but when my sister would say something stupid I take it all out on her or my mom. I feel like **** afterwards but hey, atleast my blood pressure goes down.

 

[heypapajinx]

usually the only time that i break down is when i haven't gotten enough sleep and then all the stresses of the day start piling up on me.
usually i put on some old sad bastard music, cry and smoke cigarettes, drink a bottle of wine, and then take a hot shower and go back to sleep. it's good to do that at least twice a year i think.

I'm just like you. I'm the most laid back person ever. Which is probably why I'm so lazy.

I wouldn't smack someone though.

Same except i don't smoke or drink wine.

I used to be more stable when I drank loads of alcohol...but I've given up on that

Lazy? Yeah, that sounds like me.

I do hit people. Thats my biggest problem. I have a stammer. Its not too bad when I'm talking normally. When I get excited it goes away altogether. When I get angry, it gets worse. So bad I can't talk. When I can't talk, some ******* always tries to pull a funny.

I've normally put them on the floor before I've realised what I'm doing.

Its a vulnerability thing. They find my weak spot, I lose it, they get hurt.

really!?
you used to be MORE stable but gave up on it!?
but wine is good for the heart.
so it's good for your mind AND your body.
why would you give up something like THAT?!

I used to be a jittery mess if people hurl abuse at me...but now...now I just ignore it and try not to act scared, even if I know the person who is hurling abuse is most probably carrying a knife.

Well, I dunno if I was more stable but to be honest I used to drink to get drunk...not to enjoy the rideand enjoy the taste. I still drink just not binge drinking.

I don't really need to anymore. I've grown up.

haha!!
i've "grown up" and i still drink.
i think it's one of lifes pleasures.
but it is true that drinking solely to get DRUNK is a sign of immaturity.
drinking should make you relax and laugh more easily.
make you less uptight.
not puke all over your friends sofa and then be to blitzed to help clean it up.
ahhhh youth.:heart:

 

[The Amazing Lee]

Yeah. I mean I used to drink White cider which is basically what homeless people drink cuz it's so cheap and gets you drunk quick.

The nightmares of them days are flooding back.

But now, I'll buy 3-4 beers, sit in doors and enjoy the taste. Or I'll go to the pub and have a couple. But not too many.

 

[The Amazing Lee]

Although I used to go to the pub and drink up to 9-10 pints of beer.

 

[Kyalesyin]

See, I don't jitter all that much. I just let it slide. They don't know me. Its not personal. They'd say the same thing to anyone else.

I'm probably a little to ballsy for my own good, since someone can be pointing the knife at me and more often than not I'll still just bait them. I can't ever back down from a conflict once I've started it. Much as I'm laid back, once something starts, I have to finish it.

As long as they don't make me stutter. They make me stutter, they end up hurting.

 

[The Amazing Lee]

Haha, oh dear. I used to be scared of going out though. Now...not so bad.

sleep is the best way to deal with stress, sleep and hunger

let your natural instincts of necessity deal with your abilities to require something optional.
