And it's a nice feeling.
I did find certain things that helped bring down my level of "Aaaaa!" -ness, and I'm wondering what you guys do when you need to de-stress. Do you eat better? Worse? Do you shop? Meditate? Go for a run? Call a friend? Watch a bad (ie. good) movie? Change your thinking? Move to another country?
How do you survive those bumpy work (or life) times?

A LONG hike. A run. A drive at night with a friend to a place where the lights aren't too bright to see the stars. Really any kind of getting outdoors in a non-city environment is the way to go.
Singing loudly and/or crying hard both work wonders too!
Yoga, red wine, and a good cry!
Hmmm, two votes for good cries! :)
Yoga and salad. And dancing in my living room in the dark :) I just did that ;)
I think it depends on what caused the stress: I run in the rain, dance in the dark, long hot shower, eat a comfort meal - mac and cheese the real stuff, buy myself flowers and yes the cry. Sometimes I do all of the above at one time, sometimes it's one at a time...
But I wholeheartedly agree with the cry, it's the perfect form of catharsis.
Ooooh, good ideas y'all! :D
-walk in the woods or a stroll near the ocean, away from the crowds and chaos of the city
-aforementioned chocolate
-chai or hot cocoa
-a hot, scented bubble bath
-a hug from someone who cares
hugs are teh awesome!
