Stress relief aides?

A lot of stress lately, internal,external,personal,family,money or lack thereof.I am handling it by reading favorite books,watching favorite movies,eating sugar free candy,iced sugar cookies from Kroger or Wal-Mart. Essentially I try to ignore all of it by not thinking about any of it. How is that working out for me,you may ask? As one would expect I am gaining weight,getting a sore butt and eye strain. But is the stress better? Well,no I can't say that it is;however,I now have three new things to stress over. Maybe if I keep adding new things to relieve the initial things I was stressed over,I'll eventual have such a long list,all I'll be stressed about is having such a long list and actually forget all the things I was stressed over to begin with.
