I'm full of nervous energy - anyone know how I can relax?

[HEyHEY]

? Any tips are appreciated.

1. V & V (Vodka and Vicodin) always works for me.

22. Doesn't vicodin contain acetaminophen?

That combination can kill you, no joke.

[Deep13]

24. My vague recollection...

...is that Vicodin has ibuprophen while Tylenol 3 has acetaminophen. Can't be sure though. Anyway, opiates + alcohol = really bad idea.

[Susang]

26. Nope

Vicodin has acetaminophen, sometimes very large amounts. It cam be very dangerous to your liver to mix the two.

2. Pot? Wine? Hashish? Vicodin?

:shrug:

3. I got nothing. I'm completely screwed myself

My body thinks it is about noon, or something. x(

4. It's 8:30 at night here!

7. What are you still doing up?

I told you sleeping in would come back to bite you in the ass.

[billyskank]

I slept for a couple of hours

then total wakefulness came.

17. Speaking of screwing oneself

that usually relaxes me.

5. Find something to occupy your

hand?

[HEyHEY]

6. The remote?

[yvr girl]

9. Umm...

I've heard there's something even more entertaining than that.

[HEyHEY]

10. I know

But, I'm trying to save up.

8. A cold brew, a AC...and a nice book nt

11. First, have a drink of water

Focus on each swallow. You have to slow down and get into he moment. Observe your energy. Walk around a bit, and notice how each step feels beneath your feet. Observe the rhythm of your breath and your heartbeat in relation to your steps. Take note of every movement.
After you're a little calmer, try meditating while sitting or lying down.

Peace. :D

12. Ibuprofen does it for me n/t

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

15. Wow...you're a lightweight.

How many do you take?

[KT2000]

16. One

a wimp to the core!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

18. Wow...I take 3-4 if I have a headache and I only weigh about 105lbs.

I just have a naturally high tolerance for most things. So did my father. Meanwhile, my mother is just like you.

Of course, I'm highly sensitive to weird stuff like any sort of chemical cleaner. I guess it balances out.

14. The other day when I felt like that

I shredded sticky notes.

Then I paced and drank a cup of coffee. Bizarre, but it helped.


(edited to add...careful with the coffee, though. I drink a lot of it so it's more like hot chocolate)

[arwalden]

19. Well...

... masturbation always works for me. (As long as there are no guardian angels or ghosts of dead relatives in the room with me.)

[BlueIris]

20. It may sound like a completely ridiculous idea, but--actively try

NOT to relax. Give in to the hyperactivity for a while. Some authorities (read: one psychiatrist I like) feel that when there is nothing you can do to fight your normal (read: not illegal, immoral or unethical) but undesired impulses, the best thing you can do is let them run their course.

21. Masturbation is always good

[pagerbear]

25. Yes, take matters in hand.

[wickerwoman]

23. Come beat my coworker to death with a giant plush beaver?

Please, I'm begging you.

[HeardOnTheHill]

27. Running?

Going for a run always works for me. And if you're at work, you can just take a short walk outside to clear your head.

28. Apply to the temples as needed...
