Does coming to MLP Forums relieve your stress?

[Tao 6,707]

Sometimes when I need something happy to watch,  it does.  Or to take my mind off things!

It's really nice to talk to some pony friends after not having any friends in high school for 5 years.

I interact with my environment once balance has taken place within myself, as for example, avoid using external means as to achieve well-being.

When I find myself, then I can truly experience what this world has to offer. Otherwise there's no connection between all things.

[Nsxile 25,630]

It does most of the time.

[Lucky Bolt 34,914]

Oh absolutely. I often retreat to this place when real life has me down or if I’m feeling lonely or sad....which lately, I’ve been dealing with those particular feelings a lot.

It does for me, as it's relaxing to just sit back in my chair and chat about things online here.

[Early Sunsets 2,106]

Yep, especially because I don't talk to anyone about my feelings in real life. It's nice to get things off my chest.

[Sunamena 426]

Yes, it does!


Chatting is stress relieving for me =3

[Varrack 1,080]

Not really. It's more of a boredom reliever. I only come to talk to specific people

[Jackleberry 1,920]

Kind of. I don't really do much around here these days, but it always fills me with nostalgia every time I come back. ^^

[applesjck 5,601]

Yes, for sure! It's super fun to forget about all of my stressors and just have a good time interacting with everyone here. 

[Sunset Rose 251]

Not particularly. The only thing it really relieves is boredom and even then only to a degree.

[AveryGamerDude 4,640]

Sometimes, but not recently.

[Splashee 28,537]

It definitely doesn't add to the stress. I don't think it takes the stress away though. I am here for other reasons than to find a stress-free environment. Part of feeling less stressed is to have someone to talk to, or to have a common playground, a place to be and feel safe. To me, this place is that place.

[Phosphor 11,522]

No, because I avoid social media/forums of any type when stressed. I use other methods for relieving stress. 

[TBD 17,228]

More or less but it more like reliving my boredom.

[Meson Bolt 2,647]

Sometimes, it depends on who it is I get to talk to on here. Only a few people really get me excited to keep coming back... ( @MapleMoon @Kronos the Revenant @Summer Breeze ). Other than that, it's not very fun. I've had way too many bad experiences with people on this site.

[ShadOBabe 18,984]

Ehhhhhh, sometimes yes, sometimes no... 

[Lucky Bolt 34,914]

Sometimes, but not really as much as other things I do that relieve stress.....

[TheRockARooster 47,238]

Sometimes yes and sometimes no.

[Oblivion 20,265]

Yessss it takes my mind off things!

[Clawdeen 12,109]

It does help keep me distracted from my worrying thoughts

[TigerGeekGuy 4,659]

Yeah, it's pretty relaxing, especially when you get to the sillier threads like Say something Totally Random! or Cursed Images thread. It's just that feeling of community and, dare I say it, friendship that reignites that nostalgic feeling of being a child, if only in spirit.  Really makes you feel warm and cozy inside.

[Astralshy 23,455]

Often enough it does :> Depends also on the day of course

[ExplosionMare 18,007]

It depends on how heavy the notifications are
