PROTIP: This sandbox is for major revisions to articles. The current article I am working on is Chris and stress.

	This article or section is much like a pair of DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS.
	It does not meet quality standards and is a slanderous mockery of the CWCki's good name. You can help by consulting the talk page and improving it. Also, read this.

This article is out of date. We need information on more examples of how Chris deals with stress and things he does when stressed. We suggest you keep up with the times.

Chris in stressed mode.

Stress is the bane of Chris's existence.

After high school, Chris had to face the fact that he couldn't blame his shortcomings on his autism. Thus, he began to use "stress" as an excuse. However, it's assumed that Chris is probably confusing "stress" with depression or anxiety, refusing to admit that he is in fact, unhappy with his current situation. Given the intensely sheltered lifestyle his parents provided for him well into his twenties, it is highly unlikely Chris ever experienced any form of intense anxiety or pressure that would give him severe psychological and physical effects, apart from his consistent paranoia over getting trolled and, in recent years, the Financhu Crisis. He is, however, prescribed medicine for this "stress". Since Chris tends to exaggerate everything, anything that makes him feel remotely uncomfortable is classified to him as a stressor.

In his prime, under the effects of "stress" Chris typically posted videos without his glasses and talked in a more meek voice. It is during these periods that Chris would opt to remove himself from the Internet for brief period, and then come back feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and given a new resolve to finish the Love Quest. This is most likely due to his autistic regenerative abilities that make sure that his heart never goes below 0% and into the negatives. Chris often cites stress as the reason why he isn't inspired to work on the comics; precisely why inspiration is needed to make Sonic recolors have sex with each other and kill Chris' enemies is not apparent.

In August 2013, Chris indicated through Facebook that his stress is beginning to take a toll on his health. Given his rather unhealthy lifestyle, it's not unlikely.

Effects of stress

One does not need to be a expert physician to know that this much stress has had negative effects on Chris's health, especially since he doesn't have a proper way to deal with it (as discussed below.)

Stress is also one of the primary causes of Chris's incontinence.

Coping mechanisms

Over the years, Chris has developed a wide variety of ways to deal with stress.

Major coping mechanisms

The Sonichu comic

From the beginning of the Sonichu comic, Chris has dealt with stress by rewriting stressful events in his life to glorify him. The Sub-Episodes of the first four issues were based on real experiences that Chris had with security and law enforcement. The initial primary villain of the comic, Mary Lee Walsh, was Chris way of getting revenge on the former dean of student affairs at PVCC for preventing him from soliciting sex. Almost everyone of his trolls that wasn't a gal-pal was rewritten into a cartoonish villain. For years, CWCville served as a place where Chris word was absolute.

Extended hiatuses

Main articles: Chris and the Internet#Attempts to leave the Internet and Saga#Dark Ages (20 March 2010 to 3 September 2014)

“	Fuck you most, and fuck you, social sites like MySpace and Facebook! I'm out.	”
Chris bids farewell to the internet... for the sixth time.

Years ago, it wasn't uncommon for Chris to temporarily leave the internet in reaction to stress. When he did so, he would stop uploading videos and working on the comics for a brief period of time, usually a week.

Chris first major hiatus brought about by stress was after Blanca Weiss dumped him. During the video in which he commented on the breakup, he was visibly depressed, lying on his side for the entire video. He stated that the trolls had made him "crash into slumber" and sighed frequently. After uploading the video, Chris went silent for a week, and it took a Q&A video to get Chris uploading again. Throughout March 2009, Chris had expressed increasing amounts of stress towards Clyde Cash. This culminated in the video "YouTube Finale," in which Chris announced that he was leaving the internet. Although this only lasted a week, it would set a precedent for Chris activities throughout 2010. During this time, Chris, who by then was seeking the advice of Rocky Shoemaker, would announce his exile from the internet three times in quick succession. After the 6 June 2010 video, Chris would not make any more finale videos for a few months. However, on 22 November 2010 Jackie called Chris out on his numerous flaws, causing Chris to leave the internet a sixth time. This would be the longest Chris went without uploading videos at the time, lasting about eight months until the Calling Out videos.

On 7 September 2011, Bob Chandler passed away, and a month later, Chris was arrested on charges of attempted vehicular manslaughter. causing Chris so much stress that he wouldn't upload any videos for two years, and even then he wouldn't resume regular uploads until October 2015.

Minor coping mechanisms

Hedgehog-defensive state

“

I went full Hedgehog Defensive and let my quills keep others back. It Hurts

”

While being kicked out of the 2018 TooManyGames convention for making unwanted physical contact with other event attendees, stress forced Chris to create the hedgehog-defensive state. Instead of leaving the con, he curled up into a ball on the floor and imagined he had hedgehog quills to keep the "meanies" away, eventually being escorted off of the premises by security. He also blamed the trolls and an event coordinator for causing the stressful situation. It's implied that this is a replacement for the pepper spray he used on 26 December 2014.
