Quiz, watching people suffer is not a safe or genuine coping mechanism. Please read the post directly above yours and use more consideration. People use coping skills to manage mental illness, negative emotions and trauma. It is a serious subject and although there may be a place and time for such jokes, this is not it.

sorry if my previous post was insensitive or ignorant
genuinely, i enjoy doing arts and crafts when i'm upset. it's important to cut yourself some slack and remind yourself that it isn't to be "good" but to help you in that moment, so i try to focus on the process instead and see where that takes me -
it's also about something else to focus on instead of what was bothering me

Using your hobbies as a distraction is a wonderful coping skill to fall back on. None of my posts were directed at you, but rather piglin & quiz.
Thank you for sharing /gen -
Maybe take reading into consideration to. It helps occupy ur mind along with building skills on reading and creativity. My personal favorite book series is Invader Zim comics or warrior cats.

Immersing myself in a fictional world like a book movie or show

I need to learn how to cope with my emotions better because I've had a history of splitting pretty badly.. and I'm always scared. I dont want to lash out

Im quite hot headed to maybe take journalism into consideration. Write about how u feel and wut is making u feel that way then try to write positives about urself to make u feel better. Hope that helps.

Effie: I find that verbally processing my emotions and identifying triggers help me ease how overwhelming my feelings can be. It really depends on the situation and the people involved, but sometimes the best thing to do is step away and process. Not always possible though.

sorry about my previous post. Correction: My HEALTHY coping mechanisms are age regression, and I think drawing, reading and listening to music are minor things that I also use.

Thank you, that's a good tip, I appreciate it. I do find that stepping back helps but I am afraid sometimes that stepping back will cause things to get worse or like end immediately, but when i take a step back it helps a lot. It gives me time to think about what i want to say
