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

[–] Dark_Blade@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year 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@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I exercise my left arm quite frequently.

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.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Fuuuuuck I checked 5 of those boxes 🤦🏻‍♀️

[–] MammyWhammy@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year 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.

[–] duckington@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Holy this one is a deep cut

[–] aircooledJenkins@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At least 3 of those are not bad things.

[–] Spimble@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] aircooledJenkins@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Yes, I trust you, internet stranger.

[–] Eccentricity19@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Acer@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] Falmarri@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey. I don't like weed or alcohol

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

May I interest you in heroin and promiscuity instead then?

[–] vulnerability@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

a bit of lsd too... mmm

[–] queerly_hot@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

this is painfully real

[–] Frenchtoastfan@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Why pick only one?

[–] Vorticity@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] RealFknNito@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year 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.

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.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[–] Andvari@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

masturbating is good for your well being.

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] djsaskdja@endlesstalk.org 2 points 1 year ago

[–] Norgur@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

[–] Thteven@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

I prefer DSBM instead of BDSM.
