What is your day to day life like?

[mentalhealthfighter]

Do you work?
Have any hobbies?
How do you cope with being suicidal?

For me, I'm a NEET, I like reading and going on social media. I cope with music, food and contemplating death.

Wake up at 530am, go to work, bone home around 3 or 4, do a chore or two, watch TV or read, go on my phone, then go to bed and do it all again the next day

I work, but my hours are getting cut back due to lockdown (i dont know if this is a good or bad thing to be honest).

I used to have hobbies, but now I simply can't enjoy them due to my depression.

To be blunt, i don't cope with being suicidal, it's eating me alive.

The majority of my day is sadly spent on my phone and fighting suicidal thoughts

I'm unable to work due to my health. I spend most days doing household chores, grocery shopping and walking the dog with the odd video game thrown in there when I feel like it. I don't sleep very well anymore and even When I do I have horrible dreams regularly

My biggest coping mechanism has always been music and I spend a lot of time with my airpods in. This forum has helped a lot recently and not only did I find my method and the contact I needed here but I also found a friend here too

Wake up between 6pm and 7pm

Lay in bed for a while, check my phone for any discord messages while I was asleep. My cat will notice I'm awake and come to the bed for attention. I pet her for 15 to 30 minutes and then get up.

At some point I'll brush teeth and take a shower to wake up. If I don't have food I will ride my bike to the store and get something to cook, and 1 to 3 sugar free energy drinks. If I have stuff at the house but no energy drinks in the fridge, I will just make coffee that night. I'll cook food, sometimes I only eat 1 very big meal or sometimes 2 medium ones.

I play old school runescape all night, or do a 5 hour session of studying/doing homework before playing. I have lectures on mondays and wednesdays in the afternoon, but my other classes are just online with no structured lecture.

Somewhere between 5am and 8am I will lay down and either watch youtube subscriptions or anime until I fall asleep.

I do not work anymore because I live a very privileged life. I don't have many hobbies but I do enjoy writing, I am collaborating on a goofy story with a woman who lives in Prague, she is my longest internet friend. I have been coping by once again just imagining a future after school where I have the things I want in life. I also cope with my videogames and other media.

wake up, browse internet, sleep

 

[oliviahurts]

Wake up in the late afternoon. Brush teeth go to the loo. Check computer and phone. I usually make coffee and sometimes porridge.
After that it's variable, I either watch netflix/youtube, or talk to people online, or read.
At lunch, my mum comes over and we eat and either do a puzzle from the newspaper or talk about her work.
After she leaves, I occupy myself in varying ways or have a lie down. I don't shower most days but this would be the time if I was going to.
Then I go to my mum's for dinner, play some spelunky, do some more puzzles or finish a puzzle from earlier, then watch a tv episode.
When I'm back at my flat, I either do some more of whatever I was doing in the day or do preparations for the nights self-harm.
And then I either hurt myself or I don't, then I go to sleep.

My days are long and depressing. It frustrates me how I have to exist as I was perfectly fine not existing before I was forced to live. Every day is a repeat of the previous day. I do not enjoy anything but I do things to distract myself from my thoughts and to pass the time such as watching TV shows. I mostly just look forward to sleep. I feel ill a lot of the time. I cannot wait to be free from it. Life does not appeal to me at all, it is a struggle. Even doing small tasks is tiring. Sometimes I go outside in nature a bit.

My day has been very depressing too. I suffer so badly from sleep troubles that I just want to kill myself. Looking for a buddy in nyc so we can go together

 

[Debbie Northampton U]

I can't work due to my social phobia and headaches, so I get up, if I have a headache, I will stay in bed half the day and rot. If I've no headache the highlight of my day is going to the shops. I don't see anyone really so spend my time alone.

Wake up, cry, go to sleep.

 

[avoid_slow_death]

Wake up, and almost everyday my first thought is despising I woke up. Go to work and lament how horrible my life is, go home, watch movies and sometimes cry myself to sleep. Rinse and repeat.

 

[Makko]

I live two parallell lives. My body lives one life that consists of nothing but obsessive grooming and working, while my mind lives an unrelated life that consists of nothing but obsessive dreaming and fantasy.
