What would you do to occupy yourself in solitary confinement?

?

 

[carac]

Exercise the body, exercise the mind

Exercising the body is pretty straightforward, just find out what exercises I have access to e.g push ups, jogging on the spot and try to make a routine.
Exercise the mind would be things like trying to recite stuff, personally I like to make up stories so I would probably spend a lot of time inventing stories in my head. Maybe try some "mathletics"

 

[psp3000]

daydream and talk to myself and sleep

but maybe the talking to yourself thing is a bad idea because what if they admit you

 

[Hollowman]

Chew through my arm and try to bleed out asap.

 

[LostinCyberspace]

Honestly, maybe nothing. Just let the insanity in, and see where it takes you.

What does insanity feel like?

 

[LostinCyberspace]

What does insanity feel like?

I'm not sure, but one time I experienced an altered state of consciousness and it felt like I was going to die, like I was leaving my body.

It felt kind of scary, I still have nightmares about it.

 

[nofunclub]

I think I would sing (quietly if there were others in cells around mine, or even mentally like I do at the dentist ). I'd just go artist by artist, album by album, song by song… maybe I'd think about movies/tv shows scene by scene if I could remember any. But my memory for tv and movies is nothing compared to music hahaha

 

[Tortured_empath]

Meditation

 

[monday?]

sing

 

[H.O.Xan]

My entire life feels like this anyway. I'll just do wut I've been doing

 

[brainwormz]

What does insanity feel like?

Hard to explain and not universal. Wild around the edges. Like an aura sharp and jagged and always shifting thoughts echoing and looping jumping around with loose connections. Idk does any of that make sense?

 

[outatime_85]

Depending on the size of said cell:

Burpees

Push-up

Dips

Squats

Sit-ups

Knee-ups

Running in place

Meditating.

 

[Hodius]

probably exercise

 

[trashprincess]

Can I have paper? I like to invent games in my head. This could be the opportunity to finally make them a reality!!!

 

[ANONYMOUSM]

sleep

 

[Freyja13]

sleep

Moi aussi

 

[sammiechzxv]

Think

 

[Rocinante]

Sing and play rhythmic patterns with my hands by slapping my legs

 

[bluebus]

Lot's of exercise and physical activity. I would also try to keep my mind occupied- have meaningful conversations with myself, recite poems and songs, do simple math problems and riddles, and write stories/poems (if I could write them down I would, but otherwise I would try to remember them in an effort to keep my mind sharp).

 

[Unattainable666]

write a book and think of a way to get out

 

[Ruma]

Read,if we're allowed books! If not just let the craziness take over.

 

[Jealous Blackheart]

My mind palace is quite rich. If my physical needs were met I'd shut out the world and live there.
Maladaptive daydreaming. I have a pretty potent imagination.
I've spent so much of my life alone that it really wouldn't be much of an adjustment.
Breath work for meditation and physical activity like the responses above as well for when the restlessness sets in.

 

[ikn0wthatiknow]

Beatbox

 

[sserafim]

Honestly I think that I would enjoy solitary confinement. It would be nice to not have to see people or interact with them. I could just be at peace with my thoughts, all alone in solitude

 

[sash]

If no-one comes in then it would be a safe place. I'd try to clear my mind and think of good things images, sounds, smells of the few good memories. Maybe even make some up. Also some good music going on in my head. oh and replaying some games I've enjoyed in head

 

[Homo erectus]

Should there be hallucinations because of sensory deprivation in solidarity confinement? It must be scary. But one may try exploring extrasensory perception, if possible.

 

[hevlalab]

Try and do a backflip and hopefully land on my neck and die. If not, then ouch

 

[OverBeforeStart]

What would you do to occupy yourself in solitary confinement?

That is a really good question. I have absolutely nothing. I am slowly going insane, please shoot me

 

[R_N]

Push ups and internal dialogues prolly.

It would be the best time to try meditation and going blank but I am addicted to stimulation.
