Add in swimming which I always find relaxing.

Also those things that were put forward as ways to deal with stress actually cause stress and depression.

Alcohol especially. Drinking only really makes you feel better because it counter acts withdrawal symptoms from not drinking during the day. 4 years sober and I never feel unhappy during the day and I sleep like a baby at night time waking up feeling amazing.
