      This one is great cause everyone’s face would light up as you bring in the pizza box. Their glossy eyes fixed upon the revealing of the most perfect food. Suddenly all their smiles turn to tears and frowns as they see you ruined it with the anchovies. Sadness and the stench of nasty fish now fill the room.

    Depending on the situation. Simplified, obviously:

    • If I can actively do something about it immediately or soon enough “<myname>, you know, you can do it and it will really help you”.

    • If it is more on emotional basis “<myname>, I love you / you are important / I know it hurts / I understand — what would you like to do?” saying this type of stuff often and since I can remember, made me respond automatically, whether it is something simple like “I would really like to have an almond ice cream today” or “I am watching the movie tonight / going for a walk” etc or more advanced like “I will do X, Y and Z — in this order”. Having a self-checkup as a tool is really helpful.

    • If it is a more complex situation — firstly comes a quick energy level check, followed by looking for the simplest part of the problem as a hook to get the ball rolling or a solid rest (passive or active) to restart the system.

    • If it is a really overwhelming / prolonged thing, any form of contact / consultation, either with partner, family, friend or a professional.

    It’s easy to get up and march down the street. At the end of the hood are dozens of acres with natural sand trails and a creek.

    Or, I throw a kayak or canoe on the truck on get on the water.

    Toons. Vidya games. Choons. I guess card games on computers too. Old electronics. Going outside and touching grass. Simping over Europe (as a Moroccan who despises Morocco). Sleeping. Collecting literally anything I could think of. Ponies no, I abandoned those long ago.

      As long as you are responsible with it and not harming yourself or others then I don’t see anything wrong with having a drink or two to help relax.

          As long as it is not habitual and you’re not hurting anyone there is nothing wrong with indulging a bit from time to time.

          Right? The problem is, sometimes I’m like, “Wow, do I drink too much” but then I’m like “Naaah, I drink way less than (insert the name of an alcoholic you personally know here)”, but sometimes it still feels like I drink too much anyway?

    When I’ve been horrifically depressed I took a roll of toilet paper and wrapped the dog in it. It made me laugh until I cried. Dog was like “guess this is life now”.

    I wander. I can walk to a Boston subway stop in about 35 minutes. I often just hop on a train and get off at a random stop and just explore.

    I’m literally on a train right now for this very purpose.

      I can relate. I’m a huge fan of public transportation. I love exploring different places using a public train. One of the things that I liked doing with public transportation was to intentionally make myself get lost.

      I was once robbed on a public train from Jakarta on my way home to Tangerang after visiting my friend. Since then, I’ve become more careful not to take a public train to places that seem dangerous or unsafe.

    I recently got into making desserts. I end up with something I can be proud of, get to share sweets with my friends & family and satisfy my sweet tooth all at once. With $10 worth of ingredients and zero experience you can whip up a basic batch of fudge in less than 15 minutes and put pretty much anything else you want into there.

    Eating something, drinking some water, getting as much sun as possible without getting burnt. Those three will take care of most of it to be honest with you.
