Here are some weird things I do when I become overwhelmed or stressed.
1. I've been known to put cheese in the cupboard instead of the refrigerator. I've also put cereal in the fridge and have started to put the milk in the cupboard.
2. I suddenly lose everything. The other night I took money out of my husbands wallet to pay for parking the next day. I could not find it ANYWHERE the next morning....I was sure it was going to turn up some place odd...like maybe the refrigerator...but I found it in my bag later on that day.
3. I become increasingly messy when I'm stressed...my books get spread everywhere...I have a million note cards spread throughout the house...AND THEN I get really stressed out about being too messy and go on a cleaning spree when it is time to go to bed.
4. My thoughts become consumed with what I'm stressed about...I think this causes me to be increasingly nerdy. I've even started taping myself reading my notes and listening to them as I drive to school and run other errands.
5. I've run up the stairs at least three times in a row...When I reach the top of the stairs I forget why I was going up there...then I run back down and remember...and then I reach the top and forget...it's a vicious cycle!
6. I think about chocolate chip cookies.
7. I dream of running away and quitting school:)
What do you do when you are stressed?
