What are your copes

[311]

I read, listen to music, and play video games.

What about you?

A coping mechanism

Talking to someone I care deeply for. Other than that, nothing really. I did enjoy building legos earlier though.

I'm a lab rat who they created to torture. I was created without any way of experiencing anything other than suffering, so I have no way to cope. I just want out

Unfortunately cannabis still even though it's what got me in this mess. Everyone's on the medical cannabis from the US and Canada here in the UK. Ha I'm a living breathing advert for the mental health affects of smoking it daily for 15 years. Hopefully going to rehab soon. Can't see any way out of this mess if I don't get into rehab!

I probably dissociate kind of a lot, waste time watching internet, I work enough to get by barely. I sometimes take kratom, eat weed edibles. My main drug was Adderall but I haven't taken in about a week. I go to the gym, occasionally hang out with friends, but not very often. I lead a pretty depressing existence mostly. I feel like I have no life and just get by day to day, maybe week to week. Not much meaning in my life, lots of isolation. It's not goin to end well for me. If it's not ctb then I'll be dying on the streets.

Drinking, it gets more depressing each time. I dont know how long I can continue.

Last year I built the Lego Saturn V rocket. 1969 Pieces. Also clever as 1969 is the year man landed on the moon

I think it was £130. You can get a Star Wars millennium falcon but I think that's more like £600. Ridiculously priced me think! Unfortunately Lego is not one of my coping mechanisms. It was something I did when I WAS happy.

Yeah, I noticed they can be really expensive.
I'm sorry you aren't happy anymore

It's ok. I take great comfort from you all on this site so I guess this site is a coping mechanism for me. I hope that one day I'll get to make that millennium falcon. I think it will have to be my reward if I ever get out of this depression

SS is one of my copes. It gives me a purpose and connection to the outside world.

Video games are my core coping mechanism. If I am not overly sick and can get into them the nausea gets lost to slaying monsters and exploring for sweet loot. Rather sadly it has become the only consistent way I can interact with my local friends as I am often too ill to go out places these days. But it is all becoming hollow and harder to distract with.

I used to bury myself in work. I'm now in too much pain to do that.
I used to read a novel every couple days. I'm having a problem with my left eye which now limits my ability to read for any duration.
I'm doing a lot of volunteer work and at least that is fulfilling. Strangely, I find the people I interact with treating me very well, showing me a lot of respect, in fact. Makes me very uncomfortable as I'm used to being disliked.

Alcohol and what i call 'the imagine game' which is basically hardcore day dreaming- its in the same category of food now though as its become more of a drain than a cope. Every coping mechanism seems to become self harm.

Valentine's Day is certainly a day where you need to get all your coping mechanisms out. Unafortuantely I still had to leave the house and act as if I'm ok. I usually cope by listen to music and playing games, but my favorite coping method is a quick cut. It's extremely calming and best of all I can take my little blade with me anywhere I go in my pocket :-)

Reading, listening to music, watching series/films. My favorite, smoking weed or eating edibles, I can only do a few times a month at the most due to work and other responsibilities.
