What Actually Helps?

[Bigpink]

For me, it's Friday night, playing my guitar, drinking some red wine.

 

[stygal]

Sounds good!
Love people who create stuff or have musical talent.
I just chill on here a little longer and then turn on Netflix.
Maybe one day I get myself to give drawing another shot.
Every distraction is a good way of coping.

 

[Bigpink]

Would not go far as to say I have talent! But I love being able to play along to some good music. Ameriolates the gloom for some fleeting moments.

Bottle of wine on a Saturday night and some music.
Needing an item of furniture and wandering around the local neighbourhood only to find exactly what I'm looking for dumped in a back alley (sounds odd, but happens regularly).
Walking in the countryside and finding new and exotic plants someplace they just aren't supposed to be able to survive.

Restful sleep, being alone and silence.

A week off of work and a bottle of tramadol.

 

[Pookie]

Coma.

 

[Sherri]

Xanax to take the edge of. Been tampering it though.

 

[Soulless Angel]

Bottle of Rum, Photoshop and music and more rum

 

[MindFrog]

Good music and a hobby you enjoy. It's so easy for me to get obsessed by something, that everything bad drifts away. I just focus on that thing until it's done, then i'll go back to feeling dreadful.

 

[signifying nothing]

Throwing things away.

 

[CoalmineCanary]

Music
Nature.

Funny podcasts.

I like Theo Von, Tom Segura (Your Mom's House), H3H3, Sad Boyz Podcast.

Holding bottom of shirt out over the stove top or open oven door.

 

[Weary Soul]

Focusing on others (and trying to help where I can). This helps me to get out of my own head and the memories that torture me.

Binge watching a show that I can really get into, which, now that I think about it, also gets me out of my head.

Od on benzos, otherwise nothing

Is it even fun though? I took a lot of benzos and I don't even remember the high. I would just blackout and would wake up with food in my bed.

Think it perma-fucked my memory.

Yeah that's kind why I use them, they just make me go to sleep and feel drowsy
I don't get any euphoria high from them unfortunately

 

[SpinTop555]

I think a lobotomy would help, just for myself personally though.

A whole lotta alcohol or a lovely big pile of benzos should do the trick.

Mindlessly playing the piano sometimes helps.
Having a bath and just silently screaming into the water.
Crying so much that you feel completely drained after.

 

[Kat!]

Music and sleep. Your solution is pretty good.

 

[signifying nothing]

Holding my breath.
Lying on the floor.
Doing something differently.

 

[Ghost2211]

Gaming, movies, snacks, and weed.

Forgot one:

Foot massage (self administered).

Yeah you can get the sleep from a lower dose though.

It seemed fun at the time- almost like being drunk with no nausea.

When I was doing them I wondered if the average person could remember what happened the past week, but couldn't remember if they did! Still wondering, lemme know guys.

cigar, coffee, cello, it's a one day at a time thing.
i've been thinking about recovery, it's hard to see anything
much love for the guitar and wine, i miss those days.

My family here, work and a few drives by myself with loud music.
