@Flora1 Not wanting to sound sanctimonious but all those things are a recipe for bad mental health if used in the wrong way - normally escapism right?

Of course it's all escapism. It's self medicating. I'd say since I was diagnosed with bpd I've been drinking twice as much as before.. it's fucked up. I'm on a waiting list for dpt and my mental health team say I can't have the therapy unless I stop drinking/ drugs. But my main problem is self destruction and I crave that for some reason. I can't see that stopping. So I'm just a big mess.

 

[Soul]

My cats. The Rolling Stones. Going out in the sun. Trees.

 

[Bagger]

Drugs for sure. MDMA and similar.

Omg I don't do coke anymore but I'd kill for some rn I'd definitely enjoy that

[Csmith8827]

Gaming. It's pretty much all i do these days. I used to read books but my patience for them went out the window. It's sad, really. It's like games are the only thing that can hold my attention span.

Food

 

[Fragile]

i really enjoy food when my gastric issues are not so bad, series, videogames, music, and other distractions. also watching the sunset every day i can.

but the reality is that those things that i enjoy so much will never outweigh the bad stuff that makes me suffer so much, and the good days are nothing in comparisson with the bad years that i've had to endure.

 

[TearyEyedQueen]

Cats, sleep, sweets, some anime...

 

[SawItOnce]

Video games and music used to be my thing until I started creating and developing both.

How do you feel about them now?

 

[orangemushroom]

Food can be really nice still at some points.

 

[mediocre]

Swimming! I just love the feel of the cool water against my skin. It's very relaxing. I also like steam rooms. They clear my head.

I haven't been able to go to the gym to enjoy this for a while because I've been so ill.

 

[Shaqxbb]

This made me pretty happy today. I like to cook. Shrimp spaghetti with a kick (2x minced chilies in it) and tons of butter, Paula Deen would approve.

 

[anchored_astronaut]

two things:

1) my cat, a darling little (well, very big now) black-furred, green-eyed, moon-faced boy i rescued a year and a half ago when he was just a few days old. he follows me from room to room all day and i wake up with him in my arms most mornings.

2) psychoactive substances

 

[Taki]

Talking to people

Good for you, I'm envious. Talking to people just makes me feel ashamed.
