I'm not sure about you guys but everytime after I did a long painting session, intense creative writting or extreme grammar corrections... think I can feel my brain like it's just overload itself of being cooked like a typical CPU without a fan.
I've kinda hate that feeling, especially I'm pumped to continue on something creative...
Maybe I should write easy going humourous writing to calm the brain cells down? any suggestions?

I can't understand how you get tired out by extreme grammar corrections. For me, correcting grammar is the most fun thing to do!
But I do also get that feeling. What I like to do is pause every so often and cheer myself up with comedy videos or similar. I love sitcoms and the like. A good laugh gives meall my energy back.

At least you have a quick understanding how the English language works while I have to figure out how it sounds right and not act like a total ass. Yeah, same here with the comedy vids but also I've tune into my playlist to keep my energy up. Btw, a good night sleep and a mug of tea made me feel refreshed now...

Can't beat a hot squash though. That knocks me out like a light.

don't worry, in australia, we have a few shops that specialised all types of tea. I kid you not. They have a BIG collection.
Anyways what is squash?

I don't drink tea. ¬_¬
Whilst we're kinda on the subject of relaxing, does anybody know any good tips for dealing with chronic stress? I've been suffering with it since January/February, and now I'm really starting to feel the burn. For a while it was just trouble sleeping, now its migraine, tension headache, chest pain, heart palpitations, recurring nightmare, and my complexion has gone to hell. Good tips for stress relief would be pretty handy, because I swear, I'm just about ready to crack.

Well that sounds serious.
I once studied psychology, so I'm qualified to pass off two-bit opinions as if I know what I'm talking about.
I'd recommend confiding in friends (or one good one), going on holiday if possible and seeing a doctor to discuss if this problem is becoming depression or a nervous disorder.
The absolute best thing to do is to understand exactly what it is that's at the route of this stress and to deal with it. I imagine that's a lot harder than I made it sound.
Talking about the problems can stop this from getting worse and make you feel better. From personal experience, I highly recommend a few counselling sessions. This isn't helpful for everybody, but for some it can work wonders. When you're at Uni you ought to be able to get it for free from the campus counsellors.

You guys are my confidantes, you know? Some of the stuff I've told you guys has only been discussed with one other person.
I actually do know, exactly, what the source (or sources, rather) of my stress are... which is why I'm so desperate to finally get away to Brighton. 200 miles away from my stressors.
I may well look into counselling at Uni. Until then, I just need to find some outlets that are slightly less self-destructive. OD'ing on Rock Band, wangsty poetry and unhealthy obsessions with sharp objects don't seem to be helping me.
I keep reminding myself that I only have to cope for another 75 days... but its a pretty daunting prospect...
(I feel so freakin emo right now)

(I feel so freakin emo right now) ;D (Now I'm going to go from overblown to patronising. Ready yourself.) If you know what the route is, that's a good thing - that's half the problem solved! The counselling is definitely worth a shot. I had a pretty severe depression at Uni and really lost it. A few hours talking while a guy stared at me and nodded - and some antidepressants - really turned my life around. But it was mainly the guy nodding. 75 days isn't so bad I guess. The thing to focus on I guess is that things'll get better after that. And that's rather nice to be considered a confidente! I'm am happy about that. EDIT: Also - sleeping pills, if you're not on them now. Fixing your sleep patterns could help with the day to day stress.

Rascarin, try to concentrate that there's a light at the other side of the tunnel and try not lose yourself into the negativity. Also some art therapy help too.
Hang in there /hug
