How do you cope?

Post Reply New Topic

I am at the mall, and I was just thinking. What do many of you do when you cope? Like, if you miss someone or just feel that you need to cope for a bit. I was just wondering...

What I do, I take breaks here and there. From the computer! I lay down, not going to sleep. Unless if I do I guess that I do. I hold a soft pillow tight, thinking of something that I want to hug or hold against. I guess thats what I miss the most.. Am I not alone on this?

maybe a lack of love or something similiar?
seem to miss that to =/

well no, just in general...

If I feel I need to cope with something, I take a walk and that I do at the mall anyway Walking is my favourite stim (lucky for me, its "acceptable" because everyone takes walks)

I cope with dope.

Not so much anymore, actually. But I have found it to be very effective in the past.

i always have my ipod with my headphones, wherever i go, so if things get bad i put those on, always have my cellphone dude so that seems to work if i do meltdown everybody knows about it, but fortunely my bf saves that from happening a lot, hes learned lol

Some of the things I do to cope while at home is to visit Wrong Planet, pace, or look for a good program to watch on tv. To cope in public, I find reciting Psalm 23 to myself helpful.

I do coke off a 12 year old boy's forhead. Not a specific one, it depends from day to day. Really takes away the shakes, man.

not what I meant but ok...

don't understand what that is

he uses a 12 year old's forehead to put cocaine on and snorts the dust off that person's forehead. And he does it to several people depending on the time.

I think he's joking given one time his official rank was 'Huge Hard Cock' before they edited it lol

smoke a cig...it seems that if I lay down people think I am overreacting...if I smoke, nobody questions anything...

I get on the internet, listen to music, go out for a run, or tune in to my favorite parts of dialog from my DVDs.

I jump on my bed and cram my face into my jumble of pillows and blankets, a kind-of fetal on-my-knees position.

Or when my bed's not around, I just find a couch or a soft tuft of grass or something...usually I'll lay on the carpet and roll around a bit.

I freak out if there's no carpet =/ I can't cope without it.

Coping? Who copes?

If I'm home, I sit in my son's rocking game chair. If I'm somewhere else, I use my Zune or text someone or call my friends. If I'm in public, I put on my Zune and start walking. If I'm at home, we have an elliptical machine and I get on that. Put in a movie, watch it. If I'm at work, my boss will let me borrow his chair, which spins, and he'll let me sit and spin and hand flap until I feel a little better.

If I'm in full blown meltdown mode, nothing seems to help but crying and yelling.

listening to my ipod shuffle
playing games on my psp
reading manga or novels
eating lollies or chocolate

stuff like that
