Video games, youtube, hulu, work, etc are things that are real and I used to use alot back then when it was actually effective. Now I cant even play a good game without thinking about ctb.
Dreams and fantasies about what I want to be in the future used to help me alot, now they are just petty mental dilemmas fueling my needs for ctb.
For some odd reason an old crush from years back has never left the inner levels of my mind and it seems that my brain uses the thoughts of her as a quick dopamine hit, this used to work but like the others it also fucking failed aaaaand to make it evem worse this coping needle fix is spiralling me further & further into ctb!

Sports art and trying to get "fun" and a woman I used to lile but now It just anxiety all the time

I wouldn't call it coping. Just going through the motions, filling up time as I wait for the right time. I know it is coming. I can feel it, feel the pressure of its advance in my chest. It is like a memory that is about to happen.

I live my life from a sofa. Used to love to read, write my blog, cook and so on. I still cook a bit but strictly for subsistence purposes. I go out for a couple of support groups and therapy and have visits twice a week from my carer. I always have YouTube or Netflix documentaries on in the background because silence is uncomfortable for me. They're always on dark subjects like prison, homelessness and mental illness. Rather than depressing me these things cheer me up lol. It doesn't help to hear about normal people's lives, just reminds me of what I'm missing out on.

Actually I feel like I'm doing time on Death Row. I remind myself that I can still leave the house and am technically free. It helps me to think of myself as either a prisoner or a kind of ghost in limbo who has already passed but whose body unaccountably remains. This would explain a lot.

My online bf helps me a lot, we text several times a day and he cheers me on.

These aren't exactly ideal coping skills/activities but benzos, drinking, chain-smoking while reading the works, poetry, and biographies of people who successfully CTB'd.
