What are your coping mechanisms?

Both an emotional and a physical outlet. They can bleed into each other, but I cope through calm self expression which I channel through my writing. Plus exercise for that pent up release of physical energy. It can be any creative endeavor, but release and working through emotions is crucial. Don't just isolate or repress.

Just on the tail end of a dialectical behaviour therapy course. Loved it. But i exercise too. Been out for a 1.5 hour walk earlier. That helped too.

Humour, music, a safe space and lil tools of self regulation I go through

Humor

Music
humor
social media movies

Music, cigs, being outside.

Music

Same plus ghosting or explosions of rage tho the latter are more rare thankfully

Music, coffee, coloring

Swimming and aerial gymnastics, which I do everyday anyway, but they both keep my mind focused on what's real and what isn't.

Smoking
Eating
Silent lucidity

Humor, daydreaming, reading, music, eating

I use the prism of humor

Sleep, avoiding, snacks ...not very healthy ones...

Humor and lots of music, dancing. Coffee is a must

Hot baths and 🍷

Withdrawal, the farther the better!

I make poor financial decisions.
