How do you cope keep living?

[tevati]

Tell me please.

 

[Xerxes]

Finding enough distractions whether working, a hobby, or relationships. They are all temporary and can end at any time.

[TheNorthernSilence]

Distract myself (escapism), wear "a mask" when going outside. Lately I've been crying at lot at home. I just collapse, it's getting so hard.

 

[Sinbad]

I am in pain.. but knowing my end is near uplifts me. Also, I stay busy as much as I can.

 

[funnyvalentine]

Not too well. But books and making music keep me just about alive.

When I still wanted to live, it was my goals and dreams. Living a good life. There were soo many things I wanted to do/experience/accomplish.

But for me I know a lot of those things just aren't possible. And even for the ones that are, or the good things I have experienced, they were far, far outweighed by the bad side of life. So lately those have gone out the window.

The struggle is very difficult every day. I'm on sertaline it makes life slightly better to get through the days. But I still can't wait till this life is over!

 

[MsM3talGamer]

Netflix, gaming and researching suicide methods. Generally I'm struggling. I keep wondering why my life has always been on nightmare difficulty.

I've been caring for my parents for a few years now. Dad died 3 years ago, mum is now palliative. I can't end it until mum has gone. Then that will be my time.

I cope by drinking / substance abuse.
Probably not a good idea, but it helps me fall asleep.
Throughout the day I'm working, which is a good distraction.
But other than that nothing.

I just try to make it to the end of the day when I can finally go to sleep. It's the only break some people get. I feel sorry for those with insomnia! :/

Pretty much sums it up. My distractions and coping are video games and listening to music.

 

[Retched]

I cope weirdly enough by saying "I can die tomorrow" and I manage to get through another day. It is hell in my brain. Pure hell.

 

[Circles]

Smoking pot, shrooms and sleep.

Can trade with me if you want I haven't had a proper meal in weeks I work as a chef and I can't even eat I haven't been sober in about 2 months drugs and booze are probably the only reason I have ctb yet

 

[LostGirl]

During the day, I stay at home, watch Youtube, play some music and games. At night, I go to clubs and stuff to get drunk and numb the pain.
