Stress and how to relive it

I have a stressful underpaid job, i love the people I work with, but the people we serve sometimes don't make our jobs easier, neither do the managers, but all managers don't make a job easier lol jk.  We vent it out a lot in the back room when we can, obviously when it is a good time too. I usually try to punch a punching bag or go Target practice when I can.  Sometimes I go on longer drives home and blare music to help forget how stressful my day was.  The reason for me posting this is if you don't relieve the stress it can either lead to anger, sadness, and of course depression.  If you have a stressful job, do some exercising, to playing games, or even petting your beloved pet. Some times my friends deal with me and let me just spew all my problems to them just to get it off my chest, and I would do the same for them.  I found out a great way to relieve stress is just to go to a friends house, play some games, get a bite to eat, and have a beer (not excessively of course), and have fun.  But every one is different, so find something to do that you enjoy and forget about your stresses.
