Coping mechanisms for stress vary among individuals from "summary" of Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers by Robert M. Sapolsky

When it comes to stress, no two individuals are alike in how they cope with it. What works for one person may not work for another. Some people may turn to exercise to alleviate stress, while others may find solace in meditation or spending time with loved ones. The key is to find what works best for you and stick with it. It's important to remember that coping mechanisms are not one-size-fits-all. What may be effective for one person may not be effective for another. This is why it's crucial to experiment with different strategies and see what works best for you. Whether it's going for a run, practicing deep breathing exercises, or simply taking a break from work, finding healthy ways to cope with stress is essential. In some cases, individuals may turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms such as substance abuse or unhealthy eating habits. While these may provide temporary relief, they can have detrimental effects on both physical and mental health in the long run. It's important to be mindful of these behaviors and seek help if needed.
