What do you do to numb yourself?

[nihilism44]

Lately, lots of food and alcohol. Anything that brings me a small, short-lived dopamine rush.

I go out late at night and smoke weed and drink beer in a park, and listen to music. Best on a clear sky where I can see the stars.

I drink, fantasize or self harm.

Alcohol and anxiolytics. That combination numbs me good.

Video games and music. Although I don't enjoy them as much as I used to.

I go into "robot- mode". I start going for a long walk in the forest, listening to music while doing breathing exercises. I walk until I reach my robot- mode, and no one can hurt me, or make me feel anything bad.

I just feel empty most of the time anyway. I spend most of my time overthinking everything and other times I try to distract myself from my thoughts such as watching TV shows. Most of the time I just look forward to sleep. In a way it is like I have already died.

I spend lots of time doing "not much" - YouTube, podcasts, music. I actually just enjoy the background noise, I'm not actively watching or listening.

Lately, while putting a plan together, I've actually felt more at peace. The need to be "numbed" has lessened significantly. I've actually been able to socialise, with the aim of getting shit ready to go when it's time.

Videogames, music/playing guitar, self harm, sleeping.
