What calms you down when you're crashing out?

lots of edibles, maybe putting a finger in my ass

>>81618463 (OP)
jacking off or listening to really loud music until i get sick of it

>>81618463 (OP)
tears
and time

Crying, but that fucks up your face

>>81618463 (OP)
Time and ejaculation. Also watching people suffer does a lot for my mood

Eating, watching hentai and gaming. They all are probably an unhealthy way to deal with things though

>>81618463 (OP)
Laying down and doing deep breathing exercises.

I've never done THC but I think weed would make it worse from what I've heard. I would try psychedelics but I feel like weed in the long run would retard me.
>>81618535
I could never jerk off in a bad mood. Same with drinking. Best I could do is try and put myself in the mood by imagining cuddling, but my mind likes to play tricks on me.
I'm male just in case.

>>81618463 (OP)
Drinking some green tea

>>81618463 (OP)
Smoking cigarettes

>>81619170
for real? are you actually for real? maybe i need like a gallon to affect me. maybe a simple cup just isn't enough. always thought tea was fake.

Zyns, weed, caffeine, running

Yes when I have bad anxiety it noticeably calms me down and helps me relax. The opposite of coffee due to some kind of caffeine sensitivity problem I've developed.

>>81619509
huh... i guess maybe i'll give it another shot, see if it works this time due to placebo osmosis (aka hyperempathy) since it works for you.

>>81619563
It's more than placebo. Tea leaves have l-theanine in them which relieves stress.
I buy a blend of green tea with lemon in it and I don't add any sugar to it but that mainly affects the taste.
I hope it works for you, it's really helped me. It's cheap enough that anybody with anxiety should buy some and try it. I was very skeptical but I wish I tried it sooner.

Crying help me a lot

>watch the moomins on YouTube
Pastels, soft music, nice characters
>clean my living space
Gives illusion of control
>pet my dog
He cute
>cook something
Illusion of control also I am good at it so reinforces self esteem

>>81618463 (OP)
walk to the beach and throw some rocks into the tide, see some wildlife, it isn't about you

>>81618463 (OP)
Nothing anymore, in the past talking to certain people always helped.

>>81618463 (OP)
Crucifiction

>>81619694
got the moomins went fucking crazy for me when i first joined the service and i binged every available episode in my rack. good fucking times. i remember all the characters. what pleasant pacing and writing. my favorite character i think was the witch with 12 PHDs because that reminded me of the engineer from TF2.

>>81618463 (OP)
journaling or posting about it here or with a chatbot so i can see how stupid and bitter i sound. it really does help to see it written down

>>81619700
this reminds me, what will i do when my oldest, closest, single only friend one day passes away? or I pass away, of course. my god, it's horrifying to think about. you hear people tell stories about their parents having died and wishing they spent more meaningful time with them, but if I lose him, god... what will i even do?

>>81618463 (OP)
Nothing. My brain keeps telling me I don't deserve peace and prevents me from feeling it.

>>81618463 (OP)
music mostly. that or going for a walk while listening to music if shit is really bad.

bottle of scotch and 12 beers

>>81619942
Same bro what the fuck is this FUCKASS human condition I don't even give a fuck anymore I hate this shit

>>81620525
I don't know. I keep hoping I'll hit some kind of breaking point where I tell my brain to go fuck itself and let myself enjoy things.
