Unhealthy Coping Habits

When I’m depressed I like to listen to the saddest music I can find until I’m so depressed I’m ready to eat a gun.
When I’m physically traumatized my entire body shuts down and I will nap for hours on end.
When I am stressed or overwhelmed I will binge eat garbage.
What are some of your unhealthy coping mechanisms?

You need more hugs.
Also i will drink myself sick, refuse to let myself just lie down and sleep and spend hours on my phone, causing me to be late, adding even more stress1 -
I'll procrastinate and eat mindlessly3
-
When I don’t feel good, I eat garbage. Delicious garbage like raw cake batter obviously, but it’s not unlike a dog eating grass to try to make itself throw up.2

When I’m sad..
That actually never happens. I’m apathetic as *kitten*.1 -
When I'm not at work or have to drive, I drink way more alcohol than I should.
When I'm bored at work, I spend too much time on MFP.2 -
I go to TJ Maxx and Marshalls a lot to distract myself from negative feelings2
-
I just cry, no matter what because harming myself, won't help myself!2
-
I keep a folder of screen shots of the meanest things ever said to me via text and read them over and over.6

Eat and eat and eat. Which is why I am here3

Oh god that would kill me
It’s the worst, but it gives my therapist a lot to work with.

Hookers and blow (code for computer games and beer)7

I'm a very emotional person so I usually lock myself in the bathroom and cry. I have also used alcohol to cope with depression, anger... I've noticed I don't really use food as comfort anymore but I replaced that with alcohol so it doesn't make it any better. And music is my therapy when I can't drink.1

When I feel lonely and depressed (and very drunk), I pour my heart out via uninhibited text messages.3

Yes to all in the original post. I will also run for hours a la Gump to numb the pain.1
-
*kitten*, eat my feelings, and shop.3

Repression until you crack/explode is my unhealthy coping mechanism.

I sit in my garage with a package of cream puffs, eating all except for 2, even knowing I have a party coming up. *kitten* those guys.3

Lately I've been falling back into eating sweets and hella nuts.
In the past it would be a bit of everything. Party hard, get into mischief, eat too much or not enough. Smoke too much fun grass every day of my waking hours. Sleep 14 hours a day. Listen to the saddest, most depressing music.

I will either not eat or binge with junk food
Depending on the night I’ll go out with a friend and drink my emotions away
None of those are good and I’ve been good about changing them
Haven’t done any of that in months1 -

All of the above, but no gun eating.1
