Your way of finding temporary peace?

[Memento Mori]

Some ppl need to drive with closed eyes over some highway with 250km/h to feel alive, some ppl need to fuck until they collected all kinds of Hepatitis, some other ppl flee into psychoactive substances to sedate their feelings...

I love downers, smoking weed & popping benzos/opiates, drinking alcohol doesn't help out very often...
Taking a walk at a nice place also gives some energy just for the moment, maybe an 2-3h afterglow of it...
But I can't really find any skills to actually use to calm down and not just feel like a bull seeing a red blanket that tells him he has to leave earth and every second he wastes ignoring that fact will bring a pain that gets more and more intense while this planet continues rotating and generating reasons to feel rarely good and mostly lunatic

Planning out the last day of life in many different versions is also a good hobby lol

What do you do?

 

[ReadyasEver]

Scotch, lots of it.

Apart from using substances - music, nostalgia trips, showering, mundane text conversations with friends, planning ctb, talking to family. These bring me some temporary peace.

 

[leaps]

Alcohol, music, walks, cigarettes

 

[leaps]

mundane text conversations with friends,

That's a good one

 

[Smilla]

Wine and sleep.

 

[mattwitt]

Going somewhere to eat or drink pop, lying in bed, sleeping, taking a shower.

 

[Weeping Garbage Can]

Going somewhere to eat or drink pop, lying in bed, sleeping, taking a shower.

I second this!

 

[Memento Mori]

Damn I would be happy if such easy stuff like cigarettes, sleeping or taking a shower would ease my mind

I'm a natural sprinter but I love long-distance running. The solitude, discipline, feeling of accomplishment and having used your body and mind and of course, the high.

 

[Exile]

Cat cuddles and travel.

 

[Sanguinius]

SH, thinking of & planning to ctb...

 

[21Neberg]

I cut myself very often, and I like to listen to music.

I love being outside, in nature, away from people. I like to meditate there.
I like working in my yard, the physical activity, watching pretty things that I planted grow.
Sadly, I can't have those in winter. :-(

I like to take 2 hour long soaking hot baths in winter. I like to meditate there.
I like being here on SS. I love the friendship here.

I like listening to my favorite rock and roll oldies, covered by people on YouTube.
These people are amazingly good. Some do instrumental covers, some sing.
I have several people I subscribe to, I get alerts when they do new songs.
They enjoy what they do, I enjoy listening to them.
I tell them how much I appreciate their performances.

I like to fix things. When something breaks in the house, I am so happy to be able to fix it.

When it comes time to ctb, I will use meditation to overcome my survival instincts.
I know I can do it. I got the idea here on SS. I have been practicing.
Don't underestimate meditation. When, and if, you can connect with it, it is very powerful.

I also like my kitties - two 19 year old females.
They sleep a lot, but having them near me is so satisfying.

This and alcohol.

 

[stellabelle]

I like to talk with my sweetheart either via text, voice, or video chat. I also enjoy talking with others in a discord group we've created. A cigarette is nice here and there, and so are warm baths.

 

[Plankter]

Memes and sleep

 

[CFLoser]

I reallly like to drink a lot of green tea!!! Like a lot it makes my stomach hurt (that's usually sucks) and then I listen to very repetive music super duper loud while I walk.

It's fun!

 

[daemonblight]

Daydreaming, tv shows, writing and video games.
