What do you do when you are sad?

Doomscroll, binge eat, cuddle my dog

Nap so I skip more of life, eat something that is chocolate, masturbate, maybe cut. If none of these work, I just want to wait and suffer or hope something makes me feel better.

Just wallow in my misery.

I do most of these as well. Particularly the chocolate, though that's a result of child neglect more than anything since I didn't learn how to cook when I was a kid, so I've gotten used to eating snacks (particularly chocolate) as a way to immediately get rid of hunger rather than eating actual meals.

I shut off my phone. I lay on the floor. I jump in the pool with all my clothes on. I run until my right foot gives out, it's almost always my right foot. I scream into a jar, then curl up in bed and sob, while I pretend I'm back inside my mother's womb. I cut off all my hair in an effort to avoid cutting into my own skin. I text people I shouldn't. I get on the train and don't get off until they force me to. I write in my journal. I write on here. I get high on weed, I get low on weed. I eat until I'm sick, then vomit until I'm empty. I dance like a maniac convulsing uncontrollably. I lay beside my mother, sometimes my father as well; in-between them, like when I was a child. I read. I use my guitar, I sing sad sad songs. I look at old photos. I read old diary entries. I make my bed in unusual places; in the garage, in the dryer, under the dining room table.

Sleep,idk why but just thinking about all the sadness just before/while sleeping feels good.Especially considering I am way more sad in the night where I am alone with my thoughts.During the day tho I just take a small walk and convince myself that this is the way of life and it helps a lot.

Contemplate the inevitability of death. Just sit and feel myself ever so slowly but relentlessly approaching death. Listen to sad music. Work. Pray to God to please let me die. And remind myself to keep it all hidden inside.

Cry or disassociate to the point I'm not even sure what I did all day..: was probably playing area or 2048 on discord who knows

Depends on why I'm sad. Everything I do is a distraction for being sad or torturous to do lol.

If its grief, I don't want to think about anything. Games, shows, drawing.

For pretty much everything else, I write. I push all my problems onto my characters and have them deal with it instead.

If I'm sad because I'm creatively burned out, I just kinda stay sad until I'm no longer burned out.

EDITED: oops I forgot weed. Though to be fair, it doesn't help much when I'm sad, just when I'm anxious.
