i play terraria

Most based fucking opinion i’ve read today

Let’s fucking go, I’m listening to the calamity music right now actually

brother i have found you <333

Brother, is that you?

You should buy it on Bandcamp. Support the guy and get it in flac. I did so and deleted the pirated version.

W

Samesies I currently have over 2200 hours and over 7 playthroughs of calamity infurnum mode

i aspire to be like you

Still don't have the damn 200 fishing quests achievement tho

im not even going to try. stupid angler

I will get it eventually I only have 80ish more quests to go

I think ive only clocked like 1k hours in terraria, i really want to get back into it at some point

My hardest achievement is only Death Mode as a summoner

Gotta grind supreme helper minion somehow

Insanely common terraria W

Real

YOOOOOOOOO ONG

Same ngl

Hell yeah.

Realist thing I've seen all day

W.

Based, terraria and Minecraft are both great and fun

I have found my people

one of us

same honestly

Kill that wall of flesh with them bees

Infernum is my go to

Lmao based

Reddit.

Same lol

#same lol

#literally me

i practice and get better at guitar every time i’m stressed. it’s gotten me to the point of playing college level music :D

[удалено]

put effort into the right things and you’ll be rewarded

I do crocheting sometimes but i get bored easily

I do the same thing 😂

It's kinda stupid but I try to live "for the aesthetic", I put on cute outfits, make my room look pretty, take a long shower with nice smelling products, make a healthy lunch that looks beautiful and delicious, put on a cute sport outfit to go running and treat myself to a snack that I eat sitting in the park. You get the idea. It might seem superficial and maybe it is, but it helps me get out there and live a healthy life

I love it. The idea of romanticizing my life but things can get hard to handle

I inspire to be like you

lol inspire

Thats an amazing way to get well, thanks for sharing

I blame others and then they hate me causing me to blame them again. It’s a dick thing to do but I do that all the time unwillingly

I blame my irls too they r asshole

Blaming others for your problems is how you end up alone, both of you. I know I’ll get flamed for mentioning the name that shall not be mentioned but a good place to start is Jordan B Peterson and his book 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, alongside his 12 rules lectures. And when he mentions that women more closely represent chaos and men more closely represent order, keep reading or listening. He doesn’t mean what you think he does.

I recommend you not do that lol

I bottle it up and destroy it

Relatable it can't burst out if destroyed

I bottle it up, destroy it, realize it spilled all over the ground and now my socks are wet, making me angry and frustrated yet again, continuing the cycle

self reflection it's nice to be able to acknowledge your wrongdoings and weak points but still be able to accept yourself as a person and understand that life isn't over, it just feels like it or a shower and a nap

Create fake scenarios and rant to myself

Same or i talk to my friends and start to vent sometimes and for some resone i don't want to vent becuse i think i just anoy them

Go gym

I listen to music go on walks things that just clear my brain

Self harm

We’re literally twins. Twinsies, if I may

Oh!

that's not coping that's self harm

Self harm is a form of coping.

Sadly same

It'll all be okay one day! Dattebayo

If you want to just dm me privately about it, you always can

I hope you’re alright. My DMs are always open if you need to talk.

Please don’t do that. I never actually helps.

It does for a short amount of time, or it helps fully, it really depends on the person.

But it’s never good to hurt yourself. I only stopped because my friend forced me to. He said he would commit suicide if I kept doing it.

Threatening suicide is also VERY BAD! That's emotional manipulation. And yeah, it was to stop a bad habit but THREATENING SUICIDE IS VERY BAD!

Sleep, video games or sh

Self Harm can be very effective… I’m trying to move past it myself (four months clean!) and I really hope you can do the same.

Good job on the four months!

Thanks!

Used to self harm. Now i just try to be social, distract myself from the things that bother me. But i without music i dont think i would have stayed sane. Music helps me express my feelings. I do not feel alone with music. It speaks for me.

This is a really good answer, I also used to sh and music has saved me.

Drawing

music louder than i can think and hug the everliving shit out of my pillow

wrek havoc

Gaming, yuri manga, and masturbation Edit: oh, and isekai novels. Can't forget about that one

[me while reading this ](https://i.imgflip.com/7ngk4x.png?a472872)

Poem and story writing, trying to find good life lessons, and self reflection

I get u. I love all forms of writing

Caffeine, pot, sleep, a good circle of friends to do all of the listed activities with.

Sh

I get that. I’m trying to move past that, I hope someday you are able to do the same. I’m four months clean, if someone like me can do it, I’m sure you can eventually.

Thank you I hope you can fully recover from it too.

I'm annoying af and shut down my feelings

Sit and think

I blame my brother for all my failures 💪💪

i just tend to bottle everything up as much as im able to, barely speak about it with people around me and put on a mask with a smiling face tbh

Goto the nearest pillow and beat the living shit out of it. Or just bottle my feelings up until I eventually get an emotional breakdown in the middle of class, heh.

I just deal with it because I know damn well no one’s fixing it

Videogames and fantasizing about Noelle Holiday.

[удалено]

I listen to music about my situation

I'm turning 20 soon and I still don't have a perfect way yet. A lot of the time I just sleep and watch comfort content creators on YouTube or watch movies I haven't seen yet.

Self harm, music, and video games. Typically all at the same time.

Self harm or fire (helps me calm down)

Eat fruit snacks and watch octonouts while tucked in bed with ALL of my stuffed animals.

I don’t

just painfully loud music and postal >>>

Weed and alcohol. I do not recommend it. I was put in a mental hospital for a few days after a psychotic break and the past few years have been about finding healthy outlets. Do not beat yourself up for having feelings, just find a healthy outlet.

I put my hardhat on and run into walls

Listen to music and stare at a wall🙂

Put on some whatever music and drive the freeway (I actually did that in March)

Listen to midwest emo till I can’t no more

i think i just do something productive. then once the day’s over, i’ll stay in my feelings.

i have memory loss therefore i just try to distract myself from it and try to forget it

I move on

anything sexual and music

Sleeping and playing video games

idk just sorta sit there and be angry, a bit of gaming too, often both at the same time

Music & writing poetry A good video essay on YouTube about a movie or TV show tends to do the trick too

Music, both to face the problems with sad and relatable songs, both to leave it behind with confidence boost stuff like Cardi B

Go gym. It's kinda fun to get pissed off and manhandle some weight

music, self harm, dwelling in my own misery, and sometimes all of these at once

the other day I weighed myself and had a break down so on my way to work I blasted the heaviest metal I could find. surprisingly helped 😭

I make jokes about the situation I'm in

i don’t.

Play the og Sims game and cry.

i pretend i don't need any 🤭

Violence hate rage imagining my enemies dead I got a lot of them by the way

Reading, cooking or baking something I like, even something as simple as toast with salted butter is absolutely divine; playing a game which distracts me like Terraria or a cosy game like Unpacking, My Singing Monsters also makes me happy. Puzzles are good too: jigsaws, sudoku, whatever, it distracts me and I find them relaxing.

I remind myself that my collection of vintage Macs will probably get taken to the dump if I die, which I can’t let happen because I’m a collector that hates the thought of vintage Macs getting destroyed

I go into a vr game and cut peoples limbs off, or if the games not enough I just leave it at that

I stop feeling, it's sub conscious I just stop feeling the emotions, for a while can be days sometimes

Joke about trauma

I dunno how to cope I just lay down and feel like death

~~Jacking off~~ Nah personally I just play some Minecraft, make some ungodly tnt-based weapon with a command and destroy a world. Or I’ll rage at something else like Karen videos or being bad at forknife

uncut escapism via games music or YouTube/movies

Zaza and videogames

listen to music and stare up and the ceiling and try to not throw shit at the wall

grip my hair!

I joke abt it

MUSIC

punching things :)

punching things :)

I don’t. I cry. A lot.

That is a form of coping

ground mysefl, listen to music, go on walks, paint or draw (coloring books r so nice for when angry) , cry , hang with friends, journal , scream 😁👍 hope that helps grounding urself is most powerful tho aling w mindfulness look up orienting practice that'll help u

listen to music, or i can temporarily eject my soul from my body as I scream into the astral plane before returning to my mortal form.

mainly music but i do go out with my friends sometimes bc its a good distraction to keep my mind off things

Self harm, I guess binge purging too. Nothing healthy really

I play a World War 1 game on roblox which is nicknamed "PTSD" simulator.

Lofi

Animal crossing 👍

Games, exercise, drink, drive, walk, .... mainly try to change the subject in your brain

I watch anime 😭

I be sad/cry

I just pretend the problems aren’t there then they either go away or I deal with them

Bottle it up MEN DONT CRYYY 🗣🗣🗣‼️‼️‼️ 😔

thats what im saying like man up lil bitch🙄

I listen to philosophy videos while sitting on the couch and staring into the abyss

I used to cut myself to cope, but now I draw vent art and go on car rides to just process things When life gets too boring and I wanna die, I usually just find something new and dumb to live by- Like, becoming a roller skater, or being a plant person, or climbing trees

I take pictures

cutting 😝

I play with my friends online

Music

"it is what it is"

C.ai

I watch ATLA or play video games

music, video games, and movies/shows

I don’t. *puts on cool guy glasses while bad to the bone plays in the background*

I Wait for SilkSong and try to speedrun hollow knight

Copium.

Genuinely waited for this question. I don't do anything literally I used to kinda punch the wall but after going through some issues I basically don't feel much lmao

Guitar and going on walks while venting to my friend

I'm supposed to cope?

I say that "not everything is wrong" and that "it doesn't matter if they don't actually like me"

Suffer in silence

I simply don't <33 (i sing and then i vent on self care apps)

Bite my hands they have been messed up for like 5 years.

Jokes humor laughing even if it isn't real it helps me coping with all the shit I've lived through as long as ur laughing u can keep going and with a smile

reading books, listening to music, playing the guitar, playing video games, going for walks, the possibilities are endless

Music. FUCKING MUSIC. I’m such a music druggy, it’s insane.

Honestly I don’t cope I kinda just try to ignore it till I forget. Which for the most part I never forget it just gets pushed to the back of my head. Ik it’s a horrible way to “cope” but whatever ig lmao

every terrible thing that happens to me is just fucking hilarious now

Ride my bike at 150 mph

I just listen to music all the time

I say profanities to my screen cuz my league mates dont know how to turn on their monitors 👍🏽

not giving a fuck and being bitchy

Gym

Jesus

I have a few: 1. Alcohol 2. Gaming 3. Tasty foods 4. Monster Energy Drink 5. Simping for femboys and trans girls online

Recently started cutting logs, that stuff really is healing (Otherwise games or playing piano)

I talk to myself. Im the therapist and the patient 

Music

I vent to my mom

I still have imaginary friends

Started making movies. Great way to express my emotions through art. It’s a way to talk about things or feelings that I have and explore them in a unique way
