    I like to take any emotion I feel, push it deep down inside where it belongs, and then let it out by using misplaced humor or yelling at the TV

    My F'in theme song. :(

    Yep. Sleep away reality. Escape into my dreams.

    • Drink away my feelings.
    • Stop eating (I overeat when I'm actually content, not depressed).
    • Curl up and nap with my cats to excess.
    • Stop taking care of myself. Showers are for people who give a damn.
    • Kinda start neglecting other people around me.
    • Walk excessively (we're talking 3+ hours at a time)
    • Obsessively clean.
    • Get angry.. really angry. Explode on people who don't deserve it.
    • Live off diet of no-sugar sodas and wafer cookies.
    • Play Skyrim and/or Minecraft.. even though I've played them multiple times before to completion.

    When I feel like the odds are stacked against me I head down to Costco and buy a rotisserie chicken and eat it in the car with my bare hands.

    I log on Facebook and look for sanctimonious relatives to have an imaginary debate with. And I destroy them. Then I realize I'm lightheaded and haven't eaten in awhile.

    Oh, I forgot to add:
    • Copious amounts of binge shopping on Amazon for stuff I don't need.

    When depression hits me I often lock myself in my room and cry. Sometimes over nothing at all! And cry for hours until my face swells up. Not cute. Or I smoke too much pot and forget a whole 24 hours. (Don’t do that kids, bad idea). I will binge eat HORRIBLY for hours on end which is how I got to be 210 pounds at my highest weight (I’m only 5’2). Now I’m 163. I mean I’ll shovel food in there. Anything I could get my hands on. Or well, I used to. Not anymore.
    Depression sucks! Brings out the worst in a lot of us.

    I go the range and then after I get depressed because I blew too much money on ammo. Then I go home and get out the guitar and play until my fingers bleed.

    Ive driven twice to the Smoky Mountains (7 hours) and hiked for a couple days. But maybe that wouldnt be considered unhealthy. Ive also ran all night and let the pain out in the middle of nowhere.

    Archery!

    Its funny. I bought a couple of 9mm pistols because the ammo is cheaper hahaha. I should take up archery again. I used to have fun doing it.
