    teprometo got a reaction from Singledwish123 in how do you get rid of stress?   
    Long-term, finding a therapist you trust and whose style works for you will do more to improve your mental health & ability to deal with stress than anything else, so long as you're committed to the process and doing your homework between sessions. I went to therapy because other people told me to a few times, and that never helped, but as soon as I decided I needed some help on my own, it started me down a path that has made me a much more resilient person.
    But that's a long process! So for the short term, adding in mindfulness around time management. Scheduling in your self-care and leisure time makes it feel a lot more intentional and restorative. What I mean by that is, if you're a student and have a big paper due, you may find yourself doing leisure activities as a form of procrastination, which will just stress you out more. There's a big functional difference between scrolling social media for an hour when you "should be" researching vs. having 60 minutes set aside on your calendar for a face mask and an episode of your favorite show.
    I spend a lot of time in the gym, but until recently, nutrition has been a huge question mark for me because I don't like cooking and just feel overwhelmed and exhausted by the idea of having to feed myself. Then I discovered minimal-cooking meal prep, which has changed my life. If you're in a situation where you have to prepare your own meals, I'd recommend trying it out. Start small by just making lunches or dinners for the week. On Sundays, I set aside 2-3 hours and get breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack ready for the entire week so I don't have to spend ANY time worrying about food until Saturday. I hadn't realized what a stressor that was for me until I got out ahead of it.
    Journaling is good, as is just letting yourself have a nice cry in the shower. The main thing, though, is being kind to yourself. If you have a habit of negative self-talk, replace all of that with love and encouragement so that "Why am I so lazy?" becomes "We've got a lot going on right now, but let's get a little work done on this project," etc. Just try to be on your own team.

    Due to my sleep cycle being messed up, I've been awake at the right time enough times to get that avatar and then find out you can lose it ? But thankfully I got it back later.
    I am very pleased to say that I got the Draik - Escape from Meridell Castle last night. I can't seem to get past level 3 no matter how hard I try, so I've been trying to get on the high score table on the first of the last few months. Each month I've been bumped off, but I made it with a score of 250 at last.

    I just learned that the Opera browser doesn't give the "are you sure you want to refresh" prompt, and Dice-A-Roo suddenly became possible. I didn't even notice I got it, since the jackpot was tiny. Now to try refreshing some more for the Neomail Addict av.
