What are you doing to try and cope with still being alive?

[Sleeper System]

The last couple of weeks have been a really bad spell of depression for me.
Every time I think I find a fresh new prospective... my over active mind hits me with the logical likelihood of events and I'm back to square one.
Some times I feel it really is the mind that fucks you up and maybe any med that can make that voice stfu can help you cope. Still drug free. For now.

I am currently just trying to take things one day at a time.
My appetite is slowly returning so that's a good sign.
I am trying to focus on doing the best I can at my shitty Job.
I want to pay off my car and othet debts so trying to spend less.
I just took a pair of clippers and gave myself a random buzz cut.
My hair and beard were starting to look ridiculous.
I was gonna go get haircut but its 30 bucks now. That is insane.
I have found music and anime helpful again.
A mix of sad and heavy metal music seem to adjust my mood.
A few episodes of anime at night and some advil help me fall asleep.

That's just an update on me right now. Anyone else finding things to get them through the day that might help someone else?

Some of the things that me cope are my cat, music, and cannabis. I'm also trying to eat healthier and get some exercise.

Drinking, eating, vaping... I feel very bad. I tried to give recovery one more try, but it didn't work. My days are miserable Doctors are pieces of shit where I live and wouldn't even give me anything for anxiety and panic.

I simply get up and focus on planning my death and that keeps me coping with being alive for now because I'm being "productive" in the sense I am preparing. I don't have to work at the moment so I'm trying to be gone by this summer so my days I am alive I just aggressively focus on researching and planning my departure. It's how I spend my days and nights leading up to the day of my passing

Exercise. I just started a couple months ago. I wish I had more stamina so I could just dump more time into it. Makes the day go faster than just sitting at the computer and feels better than naps.

Dogs, work, lots of sleeping

I just suffer as I feel like I have no choice, I am trapped in this world as ctb is so difficult for me. All that I do is try to pass the time until I fall asleep, it is the same every day, nothing ever makes me feel better and there is nothing here for me in this world. At least my pain will end one day no matter what, but that thought does not bring me that much comfort as I could be suffering for many more decades if I do not ctb. My life is so depressing and pointless. I look forward to the day that this life will finally end.
