Dealing with stress from work.

I punch the living hell out of my punching-bag or run a lot to relieve my stress.

Ever since I was a kiddo, my blood pressure (bottom number being the vital one) was always a little high. In childhood it was due to weight, but I lost the weight and it shifted toward stress-induced. Despite how I "relieve" my stress, it's like heavy, dirty baggage. No matter what I do, it's still there and it leaves a mark on my life. I recently had it pointed out to me by a buddy that my hands shake a lot, and he said that it was caused by "internal stress", or rather stress that you bottle up.

Working out typically helps a little, but not incredibly. Unfortunately, it's about as good as I can do. I'm a workaholic, so work is always on my mind. Irregardless if I read, eat, sleep, or whatever, it'll remain on it. The only way I can ease that is to work out at 110% and wear myself out to the point where resting is the only thing on my mind.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
