I follow by newsletter. I always used laughter when I was stressed, but since my oldest son lost his fight on Jan 2, 2011 with PTSD and TBI after his time in Iraq, I've had to go on medication.

I don't really have any mental health problems, unless you count stress as one. I help my stress just by reading and doing some hobbies.

I sing. Not having a good voice doesn't matter, and I always feel better after that. I think it's because singing relaxes me, also it distracts my attention from the problem as I have to focus of words and the tune, and to make the tune passable I have to take measured breaths, so that regulates my breathing too.
