Physical exercise. You'll still be depressed, but at least you'll be depressed and ripped.

[–] Dark_Blade 13 points 2 years ago

Exercise also helps you cope with stress and makes you happier. Get ripped guys.

I’m going to physically exercise my right to lay down

[–] RealFknNito 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I exercise my left arm quite frequently.

[–] ThisGuysNeverSerious 3 points 2 years ago

Only one hand? Rookie.

That one is hidden behind Marge's head

And maybe injured, if you're depressed, desperate, and end up going hard without being careful.

This post personally attacks me

Starving myself isn't a coping mechanism; that's a symptom of ADHD causing me to not remember that my body needs food to live.

but it offsets the binge eating disorder I developed as a coping mechanism for emotional distress

Fuuuuuck I checked 5 of those boxes 🤦🏻‍♀️

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I regularly checked 5 of those boxes for a few years. I just slowly cooled my roll and now I occasionally participate in a few of those things.

Holy this one is a deep cut

[–] aircooledJenkins 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

At least 3 of those are not bad things.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You trust me to do them in a healthy way??

[–] aircooledJenkins 7 points 2 years ago

Yes, I trust you, internet stranger.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

You're doing it wrong if you only pick one.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Shit, I've done literally all of those. At least now I'm down to four.

What makes maturation a terrible coping mechanism? It doesn't hurt anyone including yourself.

[–] RealFknNito 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

While your prostate will thank you, it's an 'unearned' dopamine rush that convinces you that you did something good for the day. It can psychologically reinforce negative behavior and have you get complicit with your surroundings and make positive change harder. But that's true for all coping.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I feel like if that's the case then evolution really fucked its job up (metaphorically)

If masturbation was a negative thing, we likely wouldn't have been inclined to do it. As far as I know, that unearned dopamine rush thing being bad is a bit of a myth.

Wastes a lot of time if you do it a tone. And one can hurt themselves if they do it constantly (several hours a day?) and rub it raw.

[–] Falmarri 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hey. I don't like weed or alcohol

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

May I interest you in heroin and promiscuity instead then?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

a bit of lsd too... mmm

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

this is painfully real

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Why pick only one?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

There are some possible combinations there. BDSM Muckbang Session with a total stranger you never intend to see again let's goooooo

[–] Andvari 3 points 2 years ago

Pretty much me, no bdsm, binging or flirting though. I'm doing good!

[–] UltraMagnus0001 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

masturbating is good for your well being.

[–] tacosplease 1 points 2 years ago

There's got to be an upper limit on how often it should be done though right?

[–] thorbot 2 points 2 years ago

Shit man get some help

5 out of 8, not bad

[–] Thteven 0 points 2 years ago

I prefer DSBM instead of BDSM.
