I don't eat when i'm upset either.

I lost like 5 pounds in one week that way.

I'm like that too. I lost a lot of weight in the summer cuz of that. I just can't eat when I'm worried or sad. Just the thought of food makes me sick.

me too

let's see....i guess i have already spilled things about me on other threads, so it doesn't matter...
I
listen to music
read
talk to friends
eat...well, when i am depressed, i either eat constantly or don't eat at all. it's strange...it varies.
cut
plan the killing of myself and/or make an attempt
sniff my scented highlighters
think of smoking or drinking but never actually do it. i could never get away with it. damn

When I'm going through a rough time....meaning alot....

I spend hours talking to my friends. They can relate. It makes me feel less alone. Sometimes talking to them and listening to their problems makes me feel grateful for my situation.
Blasting my music, and listening to the lyrics in depth, gets me every time.
I dance 7 hours a week. It puts my mind on something else, and getting a good workout makes me feel better.
Sleeping. When you wake up...its a new day!

I talk to people I know understand. Usually they bring me up, at least a little.

Thanks ya'll who're there. And my non-internet friends who don't read this too...

boy crazy cass over here turns to me for advice and i give her the worst case scenario and it pisses her off until the worst case scenario doesn't happen then she's happy.

When I have the time, I like to meditate; it gives you time to think, and mellow out.

It also helps to talk to friends about whats going on, and reading.

I don't do much when trying to cope with myself.

One of the very first things I do when something is wrong is to take a shower, then take a nap. I've got a (warning: excessive use of alliteration) surround sound stereo system hooked up around my room, and a floor to ceiling shelf overloaded with books, therefore I read quite a lot...

If things are really too tough, I take it out on my other personality. To explain, I've got some strange variation of that multi-personality disorder shit, and my doctor says that I can apparantly control that through my writing... I've got a character I write about, that I usually torture and traumatize, and etc., and that just makes me feel so much better. Taking it all out on her. Is that good?

I take walks all the time. I live in a gorgeous little townhouse at the top of a hill that just goes straight down to the ocean, and it's a beautiful view. There are little parks and creeks surrounding the area, lots of wildlife. And it always soothes me.

And, of course, I call up my best friend, and talk her head off. Literally. But not necessarily about my "problem", whatever it may be at the time... actually, most of the time, I don't talk about that. I used to be part of the Debate Club a while ago, and I love arguing. Usually about religion and politics... It seriously gets me normal again.

I guess you could say I forget my problems after a while. I don't think that's good; I should really change that. But, oh well.

about 9 months ago my whole world as I knew it came crashing down on me. My girlfriend broke up with me, and I found out that all the friends that I thought I had were actually only friends with me because they were friends of my girlfriend. What's more, in my first year of university, I was really fucking up at school, which hadn't happened before. Since then, I have renewed friendships which I had before I left them for my girlfriend's friends, and I am starting to do better at university. It's been tough and it's still a work in progress, but I think within the last two months I've realized that getting dumped was the best thing that ever happened to me.

Reno, worst case scenario did happen

but since i gave you a heads up, you could have kind of sort of expected it right?

um...nevermind.

Hindsight is 20/20

tell me about it.....when i check out chicks be-hinds, trust me my vision is 20/20.

to cope woth my life... i justy keep thinking things will get better. I mean so far nothing al the wonderfuk has happened for me... but.... hopefully something will change.... stupid life.

Wow, I should've found this thread much earlier...
I think I should take medication because I can get pretty fucked up sometimes. I've decided that I just have problems relating to a lot of people. I'm different, and I've accepted that, but sometimes I just get lonely and sick of myself.
I have good friends, but I never see them. The "group" of friends that I do have aren't the nicest people and I've tried to detach myself from them. I just don't know where to go.
I guess all I can do is wait for college where I can meet new people.
So that's that. Here's what helps me cope with life:
listening to music
improvising on the piano
singing on the stage
meeting new people
having a good conversation with someone
writing
dreaming

Waiting for somethingto change is not cool. Never works.

but its easier than try to force something to change. but things will be different someday... i swear.
