It's been getting hard to handle all of the stress and problems lately, I usually use music to help cope with everything but I was wondering what you guys do?

Not having a life that's collapsing around my ears helps quite a lot.

It means, when I'm NOT in the process of losing my wife to addiction, friends to cancer and suicide, losing my house and my dog, losing my gym of 7 years, and losing all faith in the career I've worked so hard at for 14 years... I'm pretty stable.

Definitely gotta put a vote in for the Shroomery. This place helped me a lot in the dark times.

This usually helps me. It's all gotta end some time. And then we get another chance. I mean, assuming your death isn't pure and utter nothingness or completely hell because you touch yourself. Mine isn't.
I've personally been relying too much on drugs lately myself but that's just because I'm trying to push too much stuff at once. If I weren't a dumbass and could just tone down and step back a little bit on the lifeing then it would be relatively easy to orient my mind in a picture of harmony and not giving a fuck

Post up a pic of your bike please man. My bikes are definitely one of the main things that keep me stable. This one has been bringing a lot of happiness into my life recently:

If I was to make a list, by order of effect, it'd go something like this:
1. Friends 2. Music 3. Motorbikes 4. The Shroomery 5. Psychedelics

Used to be drugs Still is to some extent although now it's more like medication as opposed to hard drug abuse.
Excersize keeps me from wanting to kill people, so that's always good.
Friends are the key though. Good company beats all.
Music is good too

Ah man you got a smoker. I'm gonna be laying my hands on a CR250 soon as I get to Australia, I can't fucking wait. It's been years since I've enjoyed that 2 stroke powerband, let alone the glorious smell and the music to my ears that is 'ring-ting-ting-ting-ting'...
Thanks man!
As for my bikes, I'm facing a really hard decision right now. I might have to sell the Fireblade:

Which I said I'd never do. Me and that bike have been through SO much together. But there's a good £7,000 locked up in that machine and I might need to access it quickly. It's gonna fucking break my heart if I have to, it really is.

Ya something about the 2 strokes just gets me. I love working on them, the parts are cheap, its a very simple engine, they mqke great power if you know how to utilize it. Most all of my riding buddies have gone 4 stroke which is fine but imma stick to my smoker
Damn that cbr is nice, i love the clean look of the white. Im sure that thing is a rocket. I honestly dont trust myself on the road, not to mention trust the drivers around me. Im surei wouldn't have a problem riding one though, im pretty good on 2 wheels.
Juat had a buddy i went to school with die from an accident he was 22 i think. Was with his buddies and he was messing around flying by doing wheelies he came down, got head wobble, hit a curb and was thrown off the bike into a sign post. It cut off his arm and he bleed to death. I knew it was going to happen to him sooner or later. And unfortunately it did

The only guy I've known that killed himself with a bike was just like that. Massive showoff, would wheelie past cops and then fuck off into nowhere, 150mph burnouts, etc. A legend, no doubt, but ended up similar to your pal, fucked up a wheelie and ended up breaking his back on a fence.
That's why I don't do any of that stuff. I like fast, but I know my limits. That's why I don't really ride the Fireblade on the road anymore either. Since I upgraded to a race spec engine it's just too fast off the track. Breaks every speed limit in the country in 1st.
The Duc is perfect for the roads though. Super nimble, buckets of low down torque, and a riding position that feels absolutely perfect. And it sounds like riding on a fucking thundercloud.

Ya this kid was the same way, weather it was with his trucks or bikes or quads or anything he always was pushing his luck but he didnt have the finese to ride like that.
Hmm a track would be very fun. Im not sure if there is any superbike tracks near me but i could see myself having a bike for the track. I always liked supermoto racing, my brother had a ktm 525sx that was set up for supermoto. Now that was a fun bike on the road! I have a dream of building a cr500 af for supermoto/street

My gf is into wood carving. I think its a pretty awesome hobbie. If I weren't so paranoid about flaying my fingers open I would try my hand at it.
Stone and mineral collecting, rock hounding, is more my thing. But there's something about crafting that is so... Enriching. the manifestation of creativity through physical labor and intense focus is priceless.
Sorry I didn't read all the posts earlier.

Friends - hanging out with a good group of friends makes me forget about my problems at work since it reminds me that all of those problems don't exist outside of work.
Music - when I get really pissed off from work I usually listen to angry music to blow off steam. Eventually I just get tired of being pissed off and forget about it all.

Zombie slaying ?
Do you mean some kind of LARPing or playing pretend , or do you hunt and murder people in the woods and tell yourself they were zombies ?
Or are there real zombies where you live ?
What kinds of things do you make ?

Nicotine, weed, music, benzos if it's really bad. I play video games or watch shows/movies to distract myself, and sometimes I just spend a lot of time doing nothing but listening to music. I find that distracting myself with video games is highly effective, perhaps too effective if there's something that I genuinely need to be stressed about.

Video games can be a great escape. For me they are healthy, as they both exercise my brain and reduce stress .
