Discussion What unhealthy coping strategies are you using?

[JadedBeing]

For me it's definintely doom scrolling. It makes my mind go quiet. I hate it tho. Started Smoking again too.

 

[NearlyIrrelevantCake]

Drugs [weed and fucking with my prescriptions to get high].

Food binges.

 

[𝐘𝐨ñ𝐥𝐮]

Smoking, drinking and gore. Fuck I hate myself

 

[Sheepskin]

Drinking, isolation, sexualizing myself, oversleeping, binge eating. I guess also my barely provoked anger outbursts are kind of a coping mechanism, but a really ineffective one, since they always leave me feeling like a piece of shit that you have to walk on eggshells with afterwards. Of course the other ones also aren't very healthy, but at least they don't instantly make me feel worse

 

[shampoo sniffer]

Bingeing junk food, isolation (not 100% out of choice, it must be said), oversleeping

 

[sorrowfullyliving]

Doom scrolling and SH, especially when I feel overwhelmed.

 

[ElevenNine]

You know how just before suicide, ppl act a lot happier and better? Well, that's what I'm doing. Just the act of thinking about suicide makes me feel better, because I know I won't have to endure this forever. A strange comfort.

 

[Ashu]

Being married.

 

[nobody_oac]

There are times when the depression crushes me. When I am pinned down by unbearable sadness and unstoppable weeping. In those moments, I pull out my trusty pocket knife and cut myself.

The physical pain draws just enough focus for me to pull it together.

 

[Forever Sleep]

Comfort eating. It's making me more fat and miserable as a result though. Procrastinating. Late starts working. Neglecting everything domestically I can get away with. (I hate chores.) Isolating.

[perishsong]

Binge eating, gooning, doomscrolling, video games in excess, sometimes drugs.

Sleeping way too much, doom scrolling and spending an unhealthy amount of time here on SanSu.

 

[Tiny Little Tree]

Procrastination

I think it started the first time I tried writing my letter and was some sort of defense mechanism. It slowly applied to more things like I ought to try this food or I should finish these projects...

 

[darkizz]

Eating...which makes me hate my body more cause im fat...which makes me eat even more cause im down...

 

[Irisse]

Same :( I eat when I'm triggered or anxious.
I also doomscroll and oversleep.

 

[darkizz]

I also doomscroll and oversleep.

Oh yea i also do that qwq. My screentime is on another level.

 

[kazatte]

doomscrolling, oversleeping, drinking, probably more but those are all the notable ones i can think of

 

[relapse]

Isolating, doomscrolling, starvation and recently again self harm. Can't say any of it is working

 

[corpse]

Self-harm and starvation.

 

[markimobzzdeasui]

Isolation, smartphone/internet, PMO and junk food

 

[kissmegoodbye]

ive kinda picked up sh again.. but mostly i just isolate myself or shut down and i know it makes stuff worse its just hard to stop.. when i get seriously depressed sometimes i cant move and my brain feels "foggy" (best word i can think to describe it..) and NOT shutting down is just physically impossible.. : <

 

[starboy2k]

ooohhh where do i begin

•doomscrolling
•porn + daydreaming about sex
•binge eating
•bedrotting
•maladaptive daydreaming
•suicidal ideations
•drugs (if I have the money)
•alcohol (if I have the money)
•fucked up sleep patterns
•internal crying
•wasting money at the grocery store (the only place I can afford to go to because of food stamps)
•staring at the walls

 

[Emerita]

Smoke crystal meth mostly

But is meth really unhealthy?? I mean it's gluten free, sugar free and vegan!! So, even those with dietary restrictions can enjoy their meth!



We even got some kitty litter in there!! Fun!

Don't do meth

 

[ichc]

Drinking, recently started drinking again (like literally this week) and for a fact I never drank, but things got really terrible to the point I tried it out. I'm addicted now and I can't go through days without drinking. The feeling of being numb is addicting as hell. Shits hard especially as a lightweight, convinced I'm gonna die of alcohol poisoning at this point.

 

[Forveleth]

Eating myself fat. I am officially obese. So that is cool, I guess.

 

[Mira Gaga]

porn, stress eating, smutty fanfics, books, pills, codeine, sh, suicide attempts, doomscrolling, thinking about killing myself or others, drinking myself to sleep, spending unhealthy amounts of time here on SS(not that I don't like this site or whatever, I love it)

 

[FoxSauce]

I guess, insulting myself or sometimes i feel im not allowed to cry. Kinda weird

 

[onyx559]

Drinking, cocaine, isolation and a good ol
x-acto knife

 

[broken serenity]

Pretending I'm leaving for vacation soon and I'm watching the world burn in the meantime. Which usually involves walking and skating around, laughing at normies in my head.

Otherwise drugs and the Internet.
