How do you cope / treat yourself?

[fedup1982]

When you don't know what to do and you're dealing with intense feelings, what do you treat yourself with to help cope?

My favourites are tea and coffee, very sweet with lots of milk. In coffee I go even further sometimes and have hazelnut coffee with Irish cream.

Other times I listen to hard house or hard trance music.

Other times I just sleep for 12 hours lol.

Idfk how I could ever get a job with the amount of "coping" I need to do, I feel guilty treating myself

I feel the same with the coping. It's the reason I have to die. I'm too much of a burden.

I'm sorry you feel that way. But if you feel like a burden, chances are you're doing everything you can to make it easy for people to be around you. I bet you're a nice person who understands what it's like to suffer and so want to minimise what other people experience like that out of compassion. You're a human being capable of good things. Your life as value. You have value. You can also have a purpose, being destined for greater things. So it's ok to treat yourself. If you feel guilty, try treating other people too, it can also help you feel good. Smile at strangers. Do some volunteering. Help elderly neighbours with bags. Anything like that will help you see that you can have real purpose and that you shouldn't feel guilty for little pleasures
