So how do you cope?

[leenngs1980]

Listen to alot of music and sleep it off in tears ... if it was ever that bad!

 

[Kodlak]

Music and drinking... which is usually heavily leaving me worse, so not the best choice.

 

[mokes310]

I just sit back and listen to the sound of how awesome I am!

j/k

I usually take time to think about how insignificant my problems really are compared to others and that makes me feel better.

 

[Lullabye]

kill people... in games, makes me feel complete
ro i read a book, im one of those who can completly immerse themselves in a book. its like watching tv, but without the bad acting.

 

[DreadfulSorry]

Mostly I go off by myself to cry for a little bit. I hate crying in front of other people, but there's nothing like a good cry to detox all those angsty emotions. Then I watch something or listen to a song that always makes me giggle without fail, and I'm usually all better

 

[Ultress]

Listen to Radio Head and think about Tom Yorke and his goffy face movements. When it gets bad I ignore everybody and usally give them an F off. Things slow down then too

 

[chronobreak]

I do drugs, and it works. It's a great escape, albeit expensive at times. Also, reading a good book can always distract from any bad going-ons.

Nothing helps depression more then going out, staying active, and being around friends.

 

[Cid Silverwing]

Video games. And comrades on my IMs.

 

[mattttherman3]

I play video games, probably gonna get drunk on valentines day though

 

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

Spend 5 years in denial, then try to sort all of my shit out too fast.

 

[Duck Sandwich]

Kickboxing. If punching bags are unavailable, walls shall have to suffice.

 

[Valiance]

Running.

Been doing it for years, on and off. I'm good at sprints but that's about it.

Music. It used to help, now it doesn't, because I think "Holy shit, how pathetic are you being? Stop it."

Sometimes, just thinking about it, like, knowing you're better than how you're acting. You can tolerate things, and that you've accomplished a few great things. Even if people think it doesn't matter, but hey, it might mean a lot to you.

Just stop and look at your situation from an outsider. It's not always so bad. She doesn't mean everything in your life. It's okay if you do a few things wrong the first time. Hey, be glad you had a place to sleep tonight, you know?

Things like that.

Some people have it worse than you, and some people have it better than you. Take what you have, do what you can, and just realize that most of it doesn't matter much and that you just need to calm down and be happy with what you have.
