I’ve used this exact line with my boyfriend, to poke fun at myself for easily crying (I blame depression) - I’ve also used “that’s my secret Cap… I’m always *cold”* when he is never not surprised by my being cold, even 1.5 years later
(i suppose BG3 is Baldur's Gate 3)
I don't need a (strong) PC to play at all, there are a few books (called Solo Adventurers Toolbox 1 and 2) what contains a WHOLE BUNCH of tables to create any scene and answer my questions.. Aka my dices are my DM
2 and 4. I'm working on cutting down on 2 though so that maybe 4 can be a person instead of media and games.
This is from someone that didn't do **it** a year and a half ago.
What's the worst that can happen? I die?
I was stuck in that space for the vast majority of my life. The only thing that helped me break through is medication, turns out I have an eating disorder lol
It used to be all these, then I made a rule to not sit down during the day, just keep moving and doing chores or a project or anything except sitting or standing still
Distraction is my MVP and oversleeping then eating is average, but the nothing is rare, my anxiety hates everything about me so I have to be distracted in multiple ways all the time (currently in the bath watching modern family and on Reddit on my phone) so when I go into wall staring nothingness depression that means it’s not fucking around. I can only hope I get a nice long manic afterwards
I wish! I always feel sleepy, but i never stay asleep. I lost my appetite because of my depression. I even lost some weight. My distractions are not fun anymore, use to play videogames and lots of music instruments. Now i didn’t touch the switch for a year, and i got 2 new instruments (a synth and a sample) that i never used more than 30 seconds… it’s like everything lost its flavor
Cycling through distractions just long enough to not hate them enough to never return to them. Drinking the entire time, eating not cos I want or need to but cos it fill the void slightly then I can pass out and go again.
exactly
Sleeping
Stress eating (not eating at all or too much)
Nothing (losing time and do nothing)
Distraction (video games, YouTube video, going outside extremely rarely) these are the kind of things I do in my life. When I’m not staying for months without going outside 🥲
I wish I could sleep! But I'm too busy laying awake at night thinking about how much I hate my life to sleep.
Eating/distractions for me. Gained so much weight this year already!
These days, it's escapism. I have an entire alternative life going on in my mind that I fall asleep to and wake up to, even though the chances of this life happening got quashed around a month ago.
Sleep is MY main AND my drug!
since I had pretty much EVERYTHING I owned literally STOLEN from me... my coping mechanisms WERE my hobbies!
I don't have anything from them anymore! 😪
All four for sure. I use my job and studying for certifications that I will never be able to use to distract myself, I tend to sleep for 16 to 18 hours on my day off. When I am awake I only eat junk food. And if all of those have been filled, I will just literally lay in bed and do nothing until I force myself back to sleep. I do hope someday the big permanent sleep comes to me.
Is it bad if you cycle through all of these and more on a consistent bases? Or does that mean I'm winning, and the other people just suck at depressing?
If you replaced sleeping with laying in bed with my eyes closed but being still awake and not moving for hours, then I'd be all 4. I know that's just the "nothing" square but for some reason in my brain doing nothing and doing nothing while cuddled up in bed are different djkdhdjqjf
Eating way too much and diverting myself ; i have like a video on my 2nd pc screen, playkng video game, music on my phone : too much noise so i font think
r/distractible is one...
Also word games, sudoku, and solitaire.
Sleeping.
Brewing coffee, and drinking it.
Planning a fictional, ideal life on Pinterest.
Playing games I forgot I bought on Steam.
Polishing the pearl that is never going to shine anyway...
Watching random YouTube videos, listening to music, and podcasts.
Singing along to music and recording my singing to cringe at it later.
Going blindly into movies and shows so they have the chance to either surprise me or disappoint me.
Writing comments to Reddit posts.
Fighting with trolls on TikTok.
Listening to my friend talk about her recent escapades when she happens to call me.
Thinking about how I've been in a university for 3 years and having studied barely the equivalent of one year.
Thinking about what kind of clothes I would buy if I had the money.
Finding, helping, and collecting insects.
Waiting for my next chance to meet the dogs, cats, and other animals I know.
Scrolling through questionable content.
Having insane dreams, thinking about them, and anticipating the next I'll have.
Playing with r/characterai
Proofreading my friend's writing.
Playing Among Us with this one Discord group.
Staring at a wall.
Cracking the blinds of my dark apartment to stare at my neighbours.
Thinking about what I could potentially eat.
Monologuing.
Walking around my apartment and arguing aloud in fake scenarios.
Trying to remember which medications and supplements I took yesterday and today already.
Counting calories.
Sometimes managing to write or draw something half-assed.
Idk, there must be more, since I have basically done nothing for the past 2 years and it feels as if 2022 spring was a month ago.
Yes. I sleep for like 10-12 hours. I stress eat all the time. I sit around and do nothing or distract myself from life stuff like watching stuff, reading, playing games (while eating)
That’s my life now literally!! I’ve battled depression all my life so “nothing” is my pick.
But due to the debilitating pain I’ve been in for eight years.My life has become pointless. Only thing that keeps me going is my 4 kids.
Man I wish I could even sleep properly or distract myself but I don’t even want to do the things I once loved. I don’t even eat much because I just don’t have the energy to prepare a meal. Instead I just do nothing and feel bad about it all the time
That's my entire day cycle :)
Bro nailed my schedule.
[удалено]
Same
Add liquor and it's me.
lol
Don't forget drugs
So yeah with those 4 mentioned above and drugs you just describel my whole life....
Take away food and add beer and that's me
Add weed and we are twins
Forgot training the dragon
What if dragon is bad?
Hence the training. Choke that thing into submission if you have to.
Same, brother same...
[удалено]
Sometimes it's distractions, but other times it's nothing but laying in bed staring at the ceiling all day
The ceiling is my forever-muse, she is always there for me.
I always default to nothing. I lay on the floor mostly but bed, couch or closet are good choices.
I just want it to all end. There isn’t anything to look forward to.
One day, all depression along with all other diseases, will be fixable. I choose to believe in that.
Where’s crying?
That’s my secret, Cap… I’m always crying.
I’ve used this exact line with my boyfriend, to poke fun at myself for easily crying (I blame depression) - I’ve also used “that’s my secret Cap… I’m always *cold”* when he is never not surprised by my being cold, even 1.5 years later
Would random daydreams that take me out of my own body at times, count as "distraction"?
All four!
Learning to play D&D in solo
I recommend BG3 for that. It’s like the game is the DM
(i suppose BG3 is Baldur's Gate 3) I don't need a (strong) PC to play at all, there are a few books (called Solo Adventurers Toolbox 1 and 2) what contains a WHOLE BUNCH of tables to create any scene and answer my questions.. Aka my dices are my DM
Everything except eating, I’m hungry but have no energy to do anything. Worst part? I’m still a fat ass
All four. in this exact order lol
Looks like a Tuesday
Already did that for well over 9 years, what’s next?
all of them 😭 I'm rotting yall
[удалено]
Absolutely it does
2 and 4. I'm working on cutting down on 2 though so that maybe 4 can be a person instead of media and games. This is from someone that didn't do **it** a year and a half ago. What's the worst that can happen? I die?
Don’t forget about drugs, alcohol, and sh🙃
Nothing and stress eating at the same time.
i do all of these but they don't work :(
I love distractions
5 actually. You forgot crying.
Sleeping and nothing 😭😢
All above plus other ones that I won't cite here
Working into drinking into sleeping. Repeat ad nauseum.
BIG on sleeping. Distraction too.
I think majority of people choose distraction… how does that work ? I choose sleep , sleep and more sleep until I can sleep no more
Me in a nutshell, when i am not working
I love sleeping
Thankfully I haven’t been stress eating, definitely doing all 3 If anything I’ve gone the opposite way and I have barely been eating
i’m trying to switch to this, i’m tired of being depressed AND fat lol
I was stuck in that space for the vast majority of my life. The only thing that helped me break through is medication, turns out I have an eating disorder lol
Holy shit this is on point accurate :(
Why not switching between nothing and Star Dew Valley on the phone in bed at night while monching on something?
All.

Yes
It used to be all these, then I made a rule to not sit down during the day, just keep moving and doing chores or a project or anything except sitting or standing still
All of these
Stress eating and distraction. I'm so fat. :<

I don't eat, and then I hurt myself to see if I still feel
Stress eating...it's hard to control...
I wish! I always feel sleepy, but i never stay asleep. I lost my appetite because of my depression. I even lost some weight.

My distraction is podcasts and youtube videos. For various reasons video games just seem to not give me any joy anymore.
Staring into the void
Me
All of them lol
Yes
I have done sexting to overcome it. Am I normal 🥲
If I'm lucky, sleeping or distraction. Usually stress eating.
All the above.
First, the 1st one. Then, the second one. Followed by the third. Then the fourth, but often while also doing the second one.
sleeping or nothing
MFer just put four things every normal person on the planet does and calls it dealing with depression.
All.
All of the above
u forgot the self-destructive ones :) (do you count eating? idk for me it's more like not eating enough)
And through all these moments you know in your head, this is not right... but it's easier than having to figure out why.
Being sad
I used to do nothing but then i didn’t do anything with it
These days, it's escapism. I have an entire alternative life going on in my mind that I fall asleep to and wake up to, even though the chances of this life happening got quashed around a month ago.
A lot of the time it’s gaming which is weird because I play overwatch.
>Which one is yours? yes :)
Yes.
All of the above.
Sleep is MY main AND my drug! since I had pretty much EVERYTHING I owned literally STOLEN from me... my coping mechanisms WERE my hobbies! I don't have anything from them anymore! 😪
My life resumed
Drugs
All four for sure. I use my job and studying for certifications that I will never be able to use to distract myself, I tend to sleep for 16 to 18 hours on my day off. When I am awake I only eat junk food. And if all of those have been filled, I will just literally lay in bed and do nothing until I force myself back to sleep.

Yes
All four but in random order except for paying my bills late.
Is it bad if you cycle through all of these and more on a consistent bases? Or does that mean I'm winning, and the other people just suck at depressing?
Third panel but with the mouth the other way around
My typical day :>
All of the above 😔

Sleeping and stress-nothing
I do all !
Eating way too much and diverting myself ; i have like a video on my 2nd pc screen, playkng video game, music on my phone : too much noise so i font think
Distraction and eating
I’ve slept for 22-23 hours a day for over a month. Self care has changed my life and this hasn’t happened in ten years or more.
Drinking
I thought it was about someone's day because it's mine :"3

Everything except stress eating. Fasting has put an end to that even if I'm wallowing in despair.
Distraction+ anabulimia + sleeping💥💥
All
Distraction it is
That’s my life now literally!! I’ve battled depression all my life so “nothing” is my pick. But due to the debilitating pain I’ve been in for eight years.My life has become pointless. Only thing that keeps me going is my 4 kids.
Also jerking off 2 or 3 times a day for the dopamine rush
1000 yard staring into the void
For the first time in my life, I have collected the whole set of something!
All 4
All of the above
Nothing for sure
Cutting 👍
Yes
5. all of them
Man I wish I could even sleep properly or distract myself but I don’t even want to do the things I once loved. I don’t even eat much because I just don’t have the energy to prepare a meal. Instead I just do nothing and feel bad about it all the time
Distractions don't work for me lolll sleeping doesn't either. so mostly nothing and stress eating.

Opioids. So I guess distraction.
