Anything that you still enjoy in spite of wanting to CTB?

[Dizzy_Dreams]

A couple of years now. Best relationship of my life tbh. Love her more than anything, hence would never want to hurt her through my actions. Doesn't mean the feelings go away though. Makes me thankfil for being able to talk openly and frank here.

Wornoutlife is the kindest person on here, just so you know.

I like my research enough to stick out life for the rest of the semester despite the stress it causes (though honestly the three weeks can't go fast enough). I also like board games, reading, music, and the outdoors, when I can calm down enough to enjoy them. It's a crying shame to have good things about life and a mental illness that ruins all of them enough of the time to make you seriously doubt whether the rest is worth it.

 

[MaybeSoon]

Drinking, drugs, computer games, David Attenborough, Brian Cox, science, nature. Books. Friends and family but that's slowly becoming a chore as I find myself becoming more miserable around them with knowing the damage I could potentially cause. Sleep.

 

[bloomingdark]

Sleeping and watching anime

I also enjoyed more reading but sadly I don't anymore

Sleep is awesome! You should do a research about lucid dreams! I'm going crazy (in a positive way) and sometimes I don't wanna wake up!!!

I have always wanted to have one! I'll do more research on how! Wow it's so cool you've had lucid dreams

I've actually only had 2 of them with a 100% control but, it was awesome!
If I could do it, you can also do it.
My best advice would be for you to WRITE DOWN WHATEVER YOU REMEMBER YOU DREAMT ASAP YOU WAKE UP!!! Trust me, that will trigger your brain and make more conscious while dreaming!

Wowww that sounds amazing!!! Thanks for the tip I'll try that!!

 

[sourpink]

art, music, nature (overgrown and wild, not curated approved fake nonsense), drugs, fashion, philosophy, .. i dunno, lamenting and wailing verbally and instrumentally is one of the few things that i know i would 'miss', or at least i would be less than ecstatic to leave in this existence.

 

[Moose.000]

My dogs, horror movies, paranormal documentaries, that's about it.

 

[Tree frog]

Love the question. What a great post.

I think I'm happiest when I'm a long way out in the bush hiking and exploring wild places that no-one else comes too. I'm really lucky to live close to a lot of places like that. After a while you forget everything and become part of the bush. It's beautiful really.. Might just stay out there one day and not come back.

 

[Trisolaris]

Kinda enjoy cigarettes and coffee but not really...

 

[lonerclown666]

some movies some games but less and less i cant relate to this world
this world is not made for the antisocial

 

[Deadlyroses]

Music. Getting high and listening to my favorite music. Getting drunk and listening to my favorite music. Getting cross faded and listening to my favorite music.

 

[StateOfMind]

You are lovely!

I think this cheese is making me more suicidal

Research? Are you a scientist or scientist in training?

 

[Tkmiz_Tsukumizu]

Winter, walking in the forests during rainy or snowy seasons. Buying nice clothes. Camping Hiking, Anime, manga. I enjoy a lot of things try to live in an optimistic way... Sucks how it just goes downhill randomly through the years.

 

[BeansOfRequirement]

No.

 

[newave3]

I enjoy eating and sleeping. I abhor everything else in life.

 

[Dead beat dad]

As for me, I really enjoy reading manga, watching anime, learning japanese, playing with my dog and videogames!!

Oh, I almost forgot! I enjoy Saturdays like this one and BOOZE!!!

What about you?

There is a whole bunch I stuff I enjoy doing and if I could actually do them, my interest in ctb would be distinctly diminished, whilst they may not elimate that feeling altogether it may certainly surpress it:
Music (listening and playing), exercise, martial arts, board games, drinking, classic movies, quoting classic movies, the movies of the 80's and 90's (when action flicks had no conscience at all).
Wishing time and space to you all friends and I sincerely hope more of what you love can come your way.
Love and respect

[Chesswiz2002]

Drugs. Especially psychedelics and hallucinogens.

 

[FuneralCry]

I enjoy sleep, it is almost like being dead as you aren't fully conscious. However I am plagued by disturbing dreams.
I used to quite enjoy music, in particular rock and metal but not so much now because of damaged ears.

 

[Carrotcake]

Not really, no. Maybe listening to music sometimes, when I zone out a bit. That is just a little bit less suffering. Closest thing to enjoying something for me I guess.

 

[Thanatonaut]

Video games and movies. It seems there's always a movie I'm like, "Shit. I can't CTB! I wanna see that." Now it's the new Dune, which was supposed to come out last December but now it's not until next October. Also, I would love to actually get my hands on a PS5 before I go.

 

[demuic]

Everything is too much of an effort to truly enjoy. It's just to take up time.

 

[Bat 17]

I still have a lot of what's either residual anhedonia from my depression, or some weird psychological antipathy to the things I used to like when I was a happy person.

But I can still enjoy
- hanging out with my kids
- cooking
- wine and spirits
- coffee and tea
- classic FM
- Italy
- these red bound novels called Vintage Classics

 

[deflationary]

Surprisingly there's a bunch. Most of them are pretty standard and already mentioned, but stuff like music, chatting with friends, reading, movies, exercise (sometimes at least), good food, bad booze, hanging out with my nephew, podcasts, walks, etc. On a good day it's more than enough to keep myself distracted. On a bad day they stop working.

 

[Isisnefert]

Nature, sometimes music, manga, anime, sleep, eat, my cats
