What do you do when you're lonely/stressed or both?

Post Reply New Topic

I tend to relapse and get really tired and all I want to do is sleep or cry....and lately I think I'm borderline relapse back into my guilty pleasure.....not good.....

Well when that happens I tend to take advantage of my own 'guilty pleasures'......or I just feel that way until it goes away or I force myself to sleep or something.

I just grin and bare it. Continue with my hobbies or watch something funny on teh youtube.

I sit alone in my room and rock and say things to myself asking myself why no body wants me around and then go to bed and rock and cry until I fall asleep.

Hee hee, that's a very interesting typo. Looks almost intended!

I tend to bite my fingernails or even my fingers, pick at scabs, and other such minor self-destructive things.

Me too......i pick at scabs on my scalp actually.....eww but it's one of my stims.....so it helps sort of?? And I pick at my nails and skin around them....

since i found out that the human mind can only hold one discrete thought in working memory at any given time, i determined that i would chase away any ungood thoughts, and replace them with better thoughts. since it is only one thought at a time that i have to redact and replace, that isn't too much trouble. i will not dwell on loneliness. i will not let other humans make me feel worse about myself, as they who would do such things to me are just stinky barking dogs, AFAIC. but when i feel out of sorts, i am prone to rocking to comfort myself. or i'll go out for a long vigorous bike ride up and down the hills of my local corner of yahooland. or i'll consort with suzie silicone [thank god for modern technology ]. or i'll go onto wrong planet and entertain myself there. or i'll attend to my collection of thousands of old recordings in need of digitization, restoration and archiving onto long-term media. there is always something to do. i do wish there was a lap-sized swimming pool near where i live, i miss just swimming miles of laps, that was a great stress reliever.

Typo? have my typing skills made me look the fool again? D:

You bear (carry) a large load, but you bare (uncover) your teeth.

Noted, vocab +1

swap between epic sleep and sitting up on the computer surfing "stuff" all night and also fbing an amount that us quite unhealthy cant do that this time tho coze the cause of the problem is there waiting for me the hobby's coming in at the end of the feeling bad sorta almost there now.


wish I was one of those people who bake or obsessively clean when feeling upset you know something productive

I tend to get kinda b!thcy & complain about it. I'm hoping someone will reach out to me & become more than a friend so then I could talk to her to avoid feeling lonely & I could get emotional support when I'm stressed

Crank the music, pick up my sticks, and practice until I feel ready to pass out and then read until I do pass out.

Both acts completely blank my mind to anything but what I am doing.

i complain a lot on the forums, see a therapist, put a depressed status update on FB. i try not to hide from the feelings and don't suppress them.

Depends on the severity and what the underlying problem is.

If it's mild, I lose myself in a video game.

If it's moderate, I lay on my back and throw a ball up and down(stim) and play relaxing music.

It it's severe, I shut down for a while, and try to meditate when I start coming back to myself.

If it's moderate and accompanied by anger, I take a long drive in my car, crank someone like this song here as loud as I can bear, and yell myself hoarse.

I'm so guilty of doing this too. haha I hate complainers but for some reason when I have an issue, and complain about it to someone, it makes me feel better.....I should really change my view about complainers....
