What do you do to calm yourself?

[Gilbertson12]

When something makes me feel scared I like to right about it. That somehow makes me feel fearless.

Also I like to think about my death, i don't why i feel so calm when I think about being death.

I read you.

Deep breathing, go outside, draw a bath.

 

[psychoticxerror]

Listening to music, being in nature, cuddling with animals, journaling. I like this thread a lot

 

[VIBRITANNIA]

i like to listen to music that reflects what i'm thinking. sometimes, if i'm feeling up to it, i'll take a walk and admire the nature around me.

Music and movies. Have a warm bath helps me too.

 

[muffin222]

I love music

 

[leiche]

i smoke to some chill music or watch something funny like south park series or anime. also i'm in the process of writing a book and that calms me down to. when i listen to some screamo music, i sing along to lyrics and shout it like a psycho, that also reduces my stress

Gaming mostly, but thanks to being home due to covid guidelines I can burn though a 40 hour game in a few days. It sucks when you play games faster than they can make new ones.

I also read reddit, this forum, or the news. If all else fails marijuana and a good snack.

Either I cut myself, or I play video games.

 

[Lost in a Dream]

I listen to music, play PC games, and watch videos that involve storm chasing or detailed weather forecasts.

I drink. I know it isn't healthy but it takes my mind off it. After I drink I can usually watch TV or play games and it makes me feel a bit better.

Musicals or instrumentals calm my mood when having the impulses, but sometimes the urge is too strong that the music's will also add fuel to the ctb meter

I go out for walks for about an hour or two. I try to go into nature with water present. I also do CBD oil now. I wish I had this long ago. I like long drives but that's not always practical. Take a shower and tell myself its going to be Ok wether I CTB or not. It doesnt work every time but I keep trying anyway.

 

[Moonbounce]

I either turn on my music or meditate. Neither work particularly well, but they sometimes keep me out of my worst headspaces. Walks are nice too, but I live in suburbia so no nature hikes so calm me down, just loud noises and densely packed housing. But it works I guess.

 

[Superdeterminist]

I remind myself that I can just down some SN if I need this to be over. And if I can endure some bitterness and nausea, I can be free.

 

[LONE WOLF.]

Valium!
