What makes you feel better?

[Midnight]

Girls and cars. But any of these are no guarantee for feeling happier. Sometimes it can be the exact opposite. But 95% of the time they make me happier or at least not worse.

Music can invoke alot of feelings but again rarely (if ever) happiness.

A new album.

usually i like to go on long drives listening to whatever, or a walk, or i go running. sometimes the process of food prep is good too, esp if it's something i make a often and can just mindlessly go through the steps or focus my attention on that task. lately when i'm especially in a mood, i try to reach out or do things that'd be kind or nice. it's usually just enough to pull me out of hating myself. although the last one is definitely fueled by intense anxiety that I'm hated.

Porn and music. Perhaps I'll get creative and spare some time for a project in Sony Vegas/Adobe Premiere.

Yuja Wang any live piano

She's amazing, she inspired me a lot when I was still learning piano. These are two of my favourite performances by her.

This forum makes me feel better, gambling makes me feel better because I'm delusional that maybe a good outcome will happen and usually I'm wrong. Painting and photography used to make me feel better, until I stopped both. Taking a day to do whatever I want, like today I went and saw a movie alone and it was blissful. Listening to music, dancing, exploring. It's all helpful in making me feel better but it's all temporary comfort. The discomfort is lurking not far behind.

I sometimes find it hard to fully come to terms with my suicidal feelings because I also have said like this. Where I can really enjoy being alone and in the moment, I never forget it's temporary but it's hard to keep all my feelings like... In the same compartment. I hate having the ability to still enjoy meaningless things, I hate the get I feel when I consider suiciding. Because of this I often have little bouts of years when I'm trying to enjoy something.

Amazing.. Makes me so envious, this is what I was headed for in my mind but I was an idiot child...

Music is the only thing that makes me feel better. Books and video games sometimes, but I find it very difficult to stay focused enough to read or play. And the sense of feeling better is so fleeting. I am the complete opposite of how most people seem to be; someone might think "oh no, I'm sad today but I know it will pass and I will feel better soon" and I will think "wow, I feel pretty good today but I know it will pass and I will feel like shit again soon". Uh, I'm rambling.

 

[Morning Angel]

Honestly nothing.

 

[throwaway123]

Nothing.

Yeah it makes it harder for me too, in a way I should feel good about feeling good but all it does is make me feel bad. I do fantasize about fixing my problems and moving on, it's just highly unlikely to happen. I seem to have a cycle, where even if I'm doing good I always seem to sabatoge my own success and drown myself with a mountain of issues that take years to undo. I'm far better at self destruction than building sustainability.

Same haha :) I would love to play as well as her. But tbh playing piano stressed me out so much, it was a relief when I stopped.

My sex drive. Alcohol helps wake it up a little. I never feel more alive than when I want to fuck someone.
