Can't shut down as there's a process running. Have to complete this task first!

I've managed to learn how to "just relax". Not sure if it will work for someone else, but it works for me:

If I need to relax I just need to hit the gym for an hour or two doing intense exercise. When I get home after that, I'm so tired that the brain needs to operate at 100% to just stay awake until dinner time. Keeps it from thinking about other stuff... sometimes.

That sounds like overexerting yourself as an avoidance mechanism rather than “relaxing,” but hey if it works for you more power to ya

I wish I could relax on my own. Unfortunately I'm still reliant on weed for that.

I know this is a joke, but spamming the power button isn't the way to force a shutdown. You need to hold it down until it powercycles, though this is equivalent to removing the power source and can corrupt data and damage older hard disk drives.

When someone is panicking they don't always thinking straight. Also pressing it once will often cause a prompt to appear asking if you wish to turn off the device.

How does one actually relax when constantly extremely stressed out by basic daily tasks? Asking for a friend
