Discussion Coping

[NobodyKnowsssss]

what do you guys do to cope with feeling sad, extremely low and having no motivation ect?

No idea, fill my days with watching crap on TV. I'm still struggling to get motivation etc, it's a difficult one. Sorry can't be more help, however there are many people here with similar issues as yourself.

Usually having to do something makes me move. You know, backed into a wall. Like I am out of socks and have to do laundry. Also thinking of the positive whys of the situation helps.

anything that could distract me from those feelings - playing video games, reading, playing boardgames, listening to music, watching TV/youtube. If nothing works (which is often the case) I just give up and sufffer in my misery. Don't recommend the last one though - Try going to a professional to get help i.e psychologist/psychiatrist.

I'm barely coping right now but used to drink and make music. Then I stopped drinking and started swimming in a lake everyday at six a clock in the morning and excessively exercise/ count calories. Also reading like a madman, 2-3 books per week.

Nowadays a good day means cooking a warm meal, going for a walk in the forest and trying to distract myself with something useful (i.e. read a book or something); I lost my job about a month ago and I still haven't applied for unemployment or for a new job, since I constantly plan on killing myself (I will run out of money soon though). I'm also pretty much isolated where I live aside from my cat.

Yeah the last stage is always fetal position on the tile floor for hours on end.

I just try and do small things, like brush my teeth etc. It's important to never expect too much from yourself and be proud of the small things you are able to do.
Try and find something that you enjoy or lifts you up. Like music, a movie etc.

Eating disorder tendencies, self harm as in cutting but my favorite is sleeping. I tried to drink my sorrows away but that fights with my ED.
