Title: Unhealthy ways of coping with stress
Post by: abu_jafar on September 14, 2014, 04:30:44 PM

These coping strategies may temporarily reduce stress, but they cause more damage in the long run:
   Smoking
   Drinking too much
   Overeating or undereating
   Zoning out for hours in front of the TV or computer
   Withdrawing from friends, family, and activities      Using pills or drugs to relax
   Sleeping too much
   Procrastinating
   Filling up every minute of the day to avoid facing problems
   Taking out your stress on others (lashing out, angry outbursts, physical violence)
