I remember that usually there's enough to justify my keeping on in the end. Whether it be simple pleasures or looking forward to certain events, no matter how drastic or little, all I need is the fuel to keep my fire going. It's difficult and nigh-impossible to maintain optimism at a constant level, but if you engage yourself in the world that you want to be a part of, then go for it. If you have anything to look forward to, even better.

I dont? XD

I can get really off my rocker at times honestly, but I manage a lot of the time and have gotten a lot better at it.

But usually when life is crazy, I resort to gaming, music, writing, obsessing over characters, and just retreating to somewhere less stressful until I feel Im capable of properly handling it and finding a good solution to it. Either that or wait till I can get to my next therapy session so my therapist can "reset me" as I like to think of it.

Cos sometimes I kinda just get stuck in a frozen state where Im constantly locked in the "coping / calming" down phase and cant get it to doing things productive until someone manages to talk to me about my issues in a way that my mind feels freed and emptied again.

Plus I firmly hold on to the faith, belief, and idea that time will pass no matter what. So even if its crazy, torturous, horrible, and you cant keep up with it, time will push past it anyways. The shit will end eventually, maybe youll fail and walk out with wounds and/or punishments or maybe youll somehow manage to pull it together to walk out woundless, but time continues. Youll get freedom and relief from whatever current craziness comes usually within a week or so of whatever occurs

So if I find I cant do anything to fix it or I cant get myself to do what I have to, I remind myself of that, and accept that there is a chance Ill end up failing horrifically and will have to deal with that, but accept that itll happen eventually. It calms me down sometimes XD

Not how I do it.

Who does it for me.

You'd be amazed how hard it is to remember your troubles when having a conversation built entirely out of memes with someone.

By reminding myself of what Life is really worth for. People close to me, various interests that I possess and other forms of distraction. By indulging in them I feel my stressing going away. Enjoying Nature, listening to Music, watching Shows, playing Video Games, reading Books, exercising / practicing, etc. You get the general idea. I bring up the fact of my improvement in overall. Whenever I'm down or frustrated, looking back at my personal growth really helps. It makes me willing enough to keep going !!!!

Cuddles. They instantly calm me down.

If I can't get a cuddle, then driving off somewhere on my own to reflect helps.
