    I drink to shift my mood or to calm down or to stop obsessing about whatever is bothering me.

    Make random choices and force myself to deal with the consequences, to distract and/or punish myself. Give myself another problem to deal with basically.

    Don't eat when I hate myself, or feel like I need control over something.

    Used to smoke a *kitten* ton of pot (until I started to get paranoid) and (not at the same time as I was a stoner) take sleep meds and pretend I was sick and sleep for days...one week was the longest I spent in bed drugging myself

    I eat copious amounts of food (mostly sweets), I withdraw and hide from people and the outside world.

    This is me. I'm never going to drown my sorrows in apples or oranges (I wish!) It's usually whatever tasty, yummy, orgasm in your mouth sweets I can find. :blush:

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

    Totally. Retail therapy is way too easy online.

    I watch Dr. Phil and think "Hell, at least I'm not like those people" and I feel all better.

    I watch C-SPAN and think the same thing.

    I'm coming down from my weekend marathon endorphin high, lack of sleep due to soreness, and post race calorie gorge. Today is going to be difficult
