Drive. Bake. Music. Singing along to certain songs on full volume can be cathartic.
If I'm really stressed I talk to a few people. I can Aspie vent all of my information overload at them and they know and understand why I am doing it and let me be.
I've started going for a run again. Yoga takes the edge off but I find I have all this nervous energy residue. Sweating it out of me is effective and allows my oft chaotic mind a chance to calm. |

"Apart from sex and wanking, how do you handle stress and other negative feelings?
I have lots of answers, but a surprising recent one has been writing fiction. I'm finding it therapeutic. "
I don't get stressed really, I've had jobs termed as ' a pressurised environment ' and I never felt pressured but I find the ocean very relaxing and the sun and chatting to people  |

Exercise, I've found taking what worries me head on and standing up to it has worked well for me, putting myself in situations I'm out of my comfort zone etc |

For me, there are varying levels according to the stress I'm experiencing.
Low- take a walk, distract myself with a film
Moderate- journalling or exercise, preferably running
High- talk it out with someone who will listen with no judgement or agenda.

At my worst I used to get out the pens and pencils and zone out doodling and colouring, this also helped me stop drinking (alcohol) as I was so focused on the task at hand
Now it’s a mixture of music, reading or having a laugh with my kid - the best medicine   |

Music is probably my number one method. Have a bubblebath, drawing, watching reruns of drag race....I could go on!
I think it's important to allow yourself that distraction sometimes.
Also a handful of close friends keep me sane and let me rant and vent to them when I need to  |
