Discussion What have you been doing to cope with everything?

[SoulWhisperer]

I literally play games and chat online all day, do the bare minimum and try to contain the trauma and depression as much as I can, although it's difficult. I don't see a goal in my existence so I simply do what I like till I can leave the scenes.

I don't really do anything. I have anhedonia so it's rare for me to enjoy things

Stop motion, however it's been getting difficult because I find myself getting more and more tired of everything.

Lyrica would be my drug of choice and next it would be Codine.
However given that Codine is regulated you need to have some discipline.

For awhile there i as experimenting with a rotational set up to keep my tolerance down.

Monday- Kava tea.
Tuesday - Kratom Tea
Wednesday - Beer
Thursday - HHC
Friday - HHC
Saturday - Codine
Sunday - Lyrica

Repeat.

But the problem is that taking something everyday, eventually make you want to take more.
and suddenly you find yourself on a days long bender. and that then creates a viscous cycle of having to take something all day every day just not to feel sick.

Also having to buy Lyrica on the street is just shit.
As local addicts begin to put two and two together,
and soon your getting asked by them if you
have anything. even if your just out minding your own business.

Or someone doesn't have any and refer you onto someone else
and your either getting overcharged or robbed.

So personally i love Drink, Kava, Kratom and HHC as their all legal and you dont need to associate with dealers and addicts.

You mentioned Lyrica. I'm prescribed 450mgs per day for insomnia and my severe RLS. I'm curious how it affects you I had no idea you can buy them on the street. All it does is make me tired. It's definitely not a particularly enjoyable drug for me.

looking for work, planing travel and CTB, and dreaming about life with a crush I can never have

 

[pomcustard]

Escapism is my entire life. I take edibles and get lost in daydreams with music. I much prefer the reality that I create in my mind.
Also, I'm taking time off next month to travel and see my favorite artist live. It's the only thing keeping me from ctb at the moment. It's both terrifying and exciting to be in the real world for a while.

Enjoy your travels ! I'm glad that artist has helped you stay around. Must be a pretty good artist

Honestly same

Stop motion, however it's been getting difficult because I find myself getting more and more tired of everything.

Oh hey that's awesome! I love stop motion! Do you post them anywhere online?

I don't really do anything. I have anhedonia so it's rare for me to enjoy things

Yeah same. My psych had a hard time getting me out of that. I ended up never getting out of it and stopped seeing that psych because nothing they did ever helped.
