Acceptance isn't a coping mechanism. Acceptance is a possible positive product of having working coping mechanisms. I have nothing that could motivate acceptance.
You can use acceptance as a way to stop fighting what is and that can be a coping skills. Humans cope. You don't have to be aware of your coping skills to have them.

I'm saying acceptance is something you have to arrive at, not something you can order yourself to do.

Some things I still actually enjoy:

sleep, (short) funny YT videos, masturbation, music, my like 10 kinds of food I eat over and over, talking to like 2-3 like-minded people, sometimes playing a pc game (when in the right mood), SS&reddit&insta(for memes), drawing&reading, watching a show/movie, walking in nature when nobody's around, cleaning...in that that order - because sleep is still #1

You can bring yourself to acceptance even at the whims and throws of your mood. I have. I am. To some level or another at least.

Would you be open to sharing some of your art work?

Accepting my situation?
No.
Well, sometimes...
But acceptance feels too much like a betrayal of reason.
I hope I can stumble on it in the future though. Even though I can't picture it differently than just deeper apathy. But maybe, someday, I'll trip and fall in a nice hole of real acceptance.

Greek. Learning Ancient Greek has saved my life. It's precisely what has kept me motivated during the last 7 or so years, but especially the last 2. I've devoted most of my time to it. It's a shame that all the effort and time I've put into it will just go to waste...
