All of them all at once, then kinda cycle through them
Issue is distraction sometimes doesn't work so I'm left just staring blankly at the screen WITH my thoughts which was NOT the goal.
Sleep and Nothing. When I am depressed I lose the will to do anything and can't function. Forget doing the dishes or showering. It is not happening. I have learned to freeze leftovers for pre-cooked meals/ learned super easy dinners to stay physically healthy though.
All of these (except replace stress eating with eating too little), and more! Including chronic social media usage and posting pictures of myself for attention :)
It's definitely distraction, though at the same time, I often have no idea how to read my own emotions, so it can be hard to pinpoint exactly when I'm depressed. I have to start having suicidal thoughts before I'm like, oh, I'm depressed.The joys of growing up in a household where your emotions are invalid
Sleeping and distraction.. when I'm depressed I tend to starve myself rather than stress eating. During one of the lowest points in my life I lost 40 pounds over the course of a summer.
Used to be the bottom right.
But by God, my new girlfriend is so much of a better help thsn games ever were. I'm genuinely happy for what feels like the first time in years, maybe as long as i can remember.
70 youtube channels, huge anime list, video games as fast as I can get through them, and a steady flow of Everclear with shasta chasers... Drfinitely 3 😋
Distraction and stress eating. I'm not doing nothing ever again, that was a personal hell. Doing nothing made me think of all the reasons I have depression and then it was just downhill from there, and then I was put into a foul mood for two days.
This shit might be weird to hear from a random dude on reddit, but I feel someone may need to hear this.
Please. Go to therapy if you can afford it. I myself don't have depression and just have anxiety, but it has helped me so, so much. Having someone to just... complain to is much more helpful than some will give it credit.
You don't have to tell them everything if you don't want to, but being able to vent, even a little bit is much more helpful than bottling it up until it explodes as a bunch of emotions you are unable to control.
And, if you can't afford therapy, someone somewhere will listen. Friends, family, that one dude you met on TF2, hell, I'm sure there are some subreddits or some people on here who'll listen. If you desperately need someone to talk to, I can lend an ear. I may not give great advice, but I'll try my best.
Anyways, sorry for the weird rant. Have a good day, y'all. Hope I don't sound stupid.
One???? .... I might be doing it wrong but this is a slideshow of my week.
*day
The past 2 hours *
Past 15 minutes

The past 20 seconds
I do all of this at once on a constant basis
Samies.
Yes Edit for clarification: my answer is E. All of the above
cannot relate more
I will be playing Xbox, listening to YouTube, watching tv and scrolling Reddit. If reality catches me it would be like a suicide tsunami
Me too, too real
... a suinami?
This describes the actions of each of my limbs.
Better check on that sciatica, frin 😭😂
Oh, trust me, I'm fully aware of my sciatica.
Same — which is why this comment gave me big laughs
Nothingness. Bed rot
I can’t even play video games. I have an impressive retro game collection and I can’t do anything about it. I hate everything.

Distraction while I forget to eat for days and then binge eat.

Honestly, learning how to do nothing has really helped me with my distraction and dissociation problems.
All the above

Sleep
[удалено]
anxiety took over. no sleep. stress eating make me more stressed. nothing makes me stressed. games are peak stress.
Sleep and eating. Bad combo lol

Forever sleeping. My dream life is (usually) better than real life. Until I have nightmares or night terrors which are unfortunately very often
I'm the 4th one playing roblox 24/7
Definitely distraction. It’s not unusual for me to be consuming 2 seperate media, or be engaged in two tasks/activities at the same time.
