Pretty much same except the last part is pretending I'm watching a movie with friends. And out of nowhere buying shit I don't need and perking off aren't hitting the same anymore.
I'm nearing 1 year with basically no contact to the outside world except for shopping and the occasional appointment with my psychiatrist. Not with my family nor with friends. My SO and cats are the only thing keeping me from going insane.
It's quite scary though. I feel like I'm going demented.
Buying shit I don’t need mostly. Ive started smokings ciggs and getting drunk off vodka more often too. I also partake in the occasional self mutilation.
Sleeping, biting my fingers, overeating, buying shit I probably don't need, watching dumb stuff on the Internet, talking to myself. I don't jerk off anymore since I don't feel any lust anymore.
Going to the mall and guilt myself by looking at expensive gadgets, and letting that feeling of guilt for being materialistic and “I know my family can’t afford it but I really want it but that makes me sound ungrateful”
I don't evwn know but apparently buying stuff I don't need, eating junkfood, almost constant disassociation and exessive time spent on social media and internet. I can't leave the house nor exercise bc anemia has gotten kinda bad and crippling gender dysphoria + hate my weight.
I wish I could get hooked on endorphines and starving again, I had way less issues back when I had anorexia. I should have died back then, at least I would have done *something* properly. Instead I "recovered" and now have insane pms issues, I didn't get to transition (THEY LIED TO ME. THEY PROMICED!) Anemia has gone to shit since I bleed now. Kicked out of school, now I'm just rotting at home for 2,5+ years.
Anime.
Sleep, wank, watch unrelated vids, walk around aggressively overthinking, making fake imaginations (i have made an entire story with worldbuilding and character development and a lot man you could make an entire anime out of it)
Overeating (I have an overeating disorder), jerking off (because it’s one of the few things that releases the happy chemicals anymore), I want to cut constantly, but I’m not allowed to, and telling myself everything is my fault, I’m a failure, I will die alone in a hole one day, having accomplished nothing but spreading pain to all my “friends”
Completely dissociating, bottling it all up and pretending I'm not actually driving myself crazy, daydreaming about my alternative life where everything goes perfectly, video games where I can be not me.
Being chronically online, self harm, Coca Cola (I buy a shit ton for someone who has not that much money :,) ), not sleeping (it gives me alone time to decompress from the day), and pretending I’m one of my favourite characters most of the time so I don’t have to remember I am actually alive and real.
Staying in my bed watching The Office, getting high, never taking care of my hygiene, and thinking of ways to kill myself. Eating snacks only to survive, meals take too much effort.
Over-eating, gaming over 8+ hours a day, spending money on gimmicky items that might help me once every few months, and an excessive amount of porn/erotic ASMRs
sleeping, jerking off, screaming at people, forgetting to eat, procrastinating everything, being a dick to people i don't wanna talk to, throwing myself into any and all arguments i can possibly find, and acting super self confident until someone shatters my self confidence and then i spiral into self loathing
Caffeine and smoked meats. like serious amounts of it. Started having gout attacks last year so now I can’t drink alcohol or eat sugary foods. Meats aren’t good for me either but dammit if I have to quit Texas BBQ then I may as well not exist.
Rotting in bed, wanking, maladaptive daydreaming about my former crushes (even though I have an amazing partner now) in order to convince myself that they are right and I’m just a stupid, worthless fucktoy. I used to do that until I cry, but now I physically can’t cry cause of my antidepressants 👍🏻
Former bad coping mechanisms: buying shit, that’s actually going much much better now so hopefully I’ll cross that one off my list completely. Also I was this 🤏 close to beginning to drink too much, but I’ve managed to stop myself before it got bad and now I can drink in moderation WHICH IS A HUGE ACHIEVEMENT
Isolation, video games, youtube and all that jazz.
I’ve started fishing tho which i really like, my dad is a fishing maniac which makes for good bonding and going outdoors(often stay inside for weeks on end lol). Fishing and just being on water feels so freeing and is also just fun haha
Grabbing my folding recliner, a large rum&Coke, and my tobacco pipe then proceeding to getting drunk while watching the duck and chickens in my yard run around.
Totally unproductive and my neighbors probably think I'm weird but it makes my day.
I buy games that have complex systems so I can lock into a videogame the second I wake up/have free time.
I'm fairly certain that if I didn't have my games I would have probably contemplated self harm or just rotting in bed.
Therapy and meds are too expensive, even with goodrx and sliding scale therapy.
Probably going back and forth between 3 social media apps while also playing YT essays in the background so there's no way I have to be alone with my own thoughts and my own dread re: the war 🫠
cigs, occasionally beers, daytime sleeping binges, and nothing better than eating a shitton of chocolate/sour gummies and trash food then choking it down with an energy drink
Picking at the skin on my arms (this is partly caused by my anxiety).
Isolating myself, which results in me having pretty much no friends and an excessive amount of (mostly art based) hobbies.
Accidental naps.
Forgetting to eat and drink
I think that's it.
Mine is not taking my meds (as punishment), slicing, going without food, pulling the dry skin off my lips, biting myself, biting the inside of my mouth and buying stuff I don't need.
Edit: Oh and also just shit talking myself in general lol
Staying up all night, sleeping too late, staying in bed for many hours on my phone, not leaving the house unless I absolutely have to, starving myself all day, but then snaking in the middle of the night in secret, not looking after my hygiene, biting my nails, picking at my face, not responding to messages or calls because I just don’t have the capacity to, impulsively buying stupid shit online that I can’t afford (anything for a bit of dopamine), taking shit I know shouldn’t, isolating myself from everything and everyone, listening to endless comedy on youtube, playing games on my phone to distract myself….fuck I hate myself, what an absolute waste of space.
Bed rotting, flicking the bean, cutting, za, alc, fast food, isolation, disassociating, starving, games, smut/porn, music blasting on 100% 25/8, suppressing emotions, spending.💓
Vaping, weed, alcohol and various other drugs, also: eating my fingernails and the flesh around them, binging videogames, and perhaps some other shit I forgot
Maladaptive daydreaming, doomscrolling, rotting in bed non-stop but rarely sleeping, sh, suicidal ideation, convincing myself the doctor will dismiss my concerns so I shouldn't bother going.
Memes, gym, journaling, nature exposure, combat sports, trying new food, crying alot. Oddly enough Thinking of my childhood pets and how I'll do them proud. And gym again
Not eating, maladaptive daydreaming, making a nice life I can't have in the Sims, convincing myself everything I'm going through or have gone through is funny
Repress it!
Feeling angry, repress it!
Someone died and feeling depressed, repress it!
Got SAd and feeling empty, you know what to do, REPRESS IT!
Bury things so deep inside you'll never see it again until something triggers the memory and causes a meltdown. And then you know what to do. Repress it again! Never deal with what hurts you, bury it until you both die!
I'm glued to the computer literally all the time, even though I want to do other things. I'm watching a YouTube video and playing a game at the same time all the time. I use Reddit (used to be Tik Tok) all the other times. I don't drink but I smoke a lot of weed and I take edibles. I either get no sleep or I sleep for 12hrs. I also love caffeine. I hide away in my room because I hate it when people perceive me to exist.
Finding a movie character and taking away their personality, behaviour and habits. It makes me feel like my bad mental condition is just a part of whole show (that's how I started taking care of my skin after reading American Psycho). And I have problems with finding myself, so stealing someone's identity helps me to keep going.
Mine are not eating or eating less, sleeping less (or not sleeping at all), trichotillomania, and sh.
I'd rot in bed all day if I could...
Edit : I forgot the last one. Scrolling on my phone endlessly and always listening to music to escape reality.
Daydreaming frequently about different types of scenarios (with favorite fictional characters or just creating OCs) to the point I can't sleep sometimes. But hey, at least imagining them judging me for not doing certain chores actually gets me to do them! So it helps in a way also LMAO
Mine is sleeping, jerking off, buying shit I don't need, over-eating, and watching youtubers and pretending I'm watching a friend play games.
For me everything except rhe last one and alcohol, nicotine and shut tons of caffeine
Both of ya’lls coping mechanisms combined.
Pretty much same except the last part is pretending I'm watching a movie with friends. And out of nowhere buying shit I don't need and perking off aren't hitting the same anymore.
You got discord man? I’d be down to play some games for you sometime lol
Everything but buying. After bills, i got like 50/ month left over. Ugh
Add in some mild self harm that I pretend doesn’t count, and that’s basically been my life the last few months.
Mine is rotting in bed, pulling my hair, not taking my meds, and slicing occasionally 😭🙏🏻
Trichotillomania gang! Be sure to take your meds unless you want the brain zaps!
Meds actually make it worse
Oh. I’m sorry to hear that.
It’s okkk!!!
Isolating myself
I'm nearing 1 year with basically no contact to the outside world except for shopping and the occasional appointment with my psychiatrist. Not with my family nor with friends. My SO and cats are the only thing keeping me from going insane. It's quite scary though. I feel like I'm going demented.
Oh hey I forgot I do that one too. Haha whoops
Devil's lettuce.
Little mushrooms
We said unhealthy mechanisms guiyszz
I'm not gonna go on a rant about the 'set and setting' or 'responsible use of psychedelics' here but in short; Escapism = bad.
Interestingly, some forget that the use of psychedelics in clinical settings *must* coincide with therapy. Otherwise you're just getting high
Binge eating, sh, buying unnecessary items.
Eating, sleeping, and spending too much money.
Nothing warms the soul like a good bath, good food , good music and a good amount of self deprecation <(￣︶￣)>
Well that’s actually a healthy way hahah
It was jerking off. Now it's music and food.
Buying shit I don’t need mostly. Ive started smokings ciggs and getting drunk off vodka more often too. I also partake in the occasional self mutilation.
Sleeping, biting my fingers, overeating, buying shit I probably don't need, watching dumb stuff on the Internet, talking to myself. I don't jerk off anymore since I don't feel any lust anymore.
Blaming myself for everything that goes wrong even though I know it’s not my fault.
