Help need tips on being less aware

[favouriteworstolive]

i'm so like. tired of being aware..??? and like awake. idk how to explain it but i am jsut so tired of being in my body and being aware of everything and being conscious. i usually just sleep when i feel this way but idk i'm wondering if there's anything else that can make me feel like that. when i used to not self harm a lot, doing it made me feel kinda of far away and made me unable to think straight for 30 minutes and it felt very good. idk if this is a stupid question but anyway if anyone knows anything that'd be awesome i know alcohol n drugs r an option but i dont have access to those rn. anywya thanks

Youtube or blasting music really loud work for me

Any of the following might work for you:
Watching a movie, reading, household chores, meditation, going somewhere, making something, meeting up with a friend, doing one of your hobbies

"Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being & walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, & the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right."
― Søren Kierkegaard

I cannot vouch for the walking method as I have not tried it myself but it seems like one of the smartest choices.

Actually, I do remember I used to go on 2AM walks some years ago. If you walk far enough, you eventually feel better.

Listening to podcast helps me. History podcast, Hollywood gossip podcast, etc. Also in social situations I'd be as unlikable as possible - not in a way that actively rude and malicious to people, more like not making an effort - to get rid of the pressure of being "on". I just kinda blend in the background, being an npc

Binge watch YouTube, specifically VODs. I always go for something that isn't serious, and usually very long. At the same time of doing this I also just doom scroll on clothing websites or play whatever simulator games seem interesting then and there in my Steam library.

Been off from cutting myself since April. I have urges to drug myself, drink or do sh again, but keeping distractions to MAX helps reduce it heavily. This includes sleep. I currently can't sleep unless I have 2-3 videos playing in the background. It doesn't matter to me if it is unintelligible.

yeah i've been falling asleep to the same 3 VODS every night it helps a lot for sleep. in my brain, my sh time is like my me time separate from my uh normal me time so i don't see myself coming off that anytime soon. thank you though <3
