Unhealthy Coping Habits
Replies
-
Shopping is usually my coping mechanism. Because I convince myself that a new lipstick or the "perfect" pair of jeans is going to turn my life around. And if it is my husband who is upsetting me, all the better to be wasting his money on more stuff I don't need.1

There have been many throughout the years that I'm aware of, and probably some that I'm not.1

Listening to sad songs or songs that bring back bad memories or angry music.
Isolating myself, wallowing in sadness.
Useless internet shopping.
Sleep excessively or at least I try to. I tend to awake in the wee hours of the morning for no good reason.
Drive.1 -

I bottle it all up.
My bottled up stress tends to be released in the gym. Music does help reach down into those dark areas and help bring the emotion to the surface.3 -

I thought that said anarchy at a quick glance ¯\_(ツ)_/¯1 -
I'm really good at bottling all the bad up. I either end up smashing the hell outta myself and the weights at the gym or at the bottom of a bottle(or 3) of red.
I also really like shutting down and ignoring things.1 -
Sleeping for days, spazzing out, ingestion copious amounts of nicotine.0
