I just realized this -may- belong in the off topic thread, even if it is about coping methods. Eeeek, sorry!

I'll leave it. Some people could find these things as coping methods, so it warrants its own thread, in my eyes.

As for me, I do a few things for fun, such as listening to music. That helps me cope. I play video games when I'm not going through an episode, and watch classic television shows on DVD when I am and am not going through an episode.

Comic books are a big thing with me, too. I have about 3000 of them. I enjoy super heroes, but not so much super hero movies, though they can be good. I prefer an old fashioned comic book over a modern day comic book, though.

As for music, it's mainly classical, though I do like other forms of music.

I also enjoy watching automobile racing, non-nascar. I like Formula One, WEC, WRC, Blancpan, IMSA, and I've been wanting to check out Rallycross, but never got around to it.

Yes yes.

Music is a huge part of my life. I listen to music from the moment I wake up until right before I go to bed. I listen to all sorts of genres and I'm always on the hunt for new music.

The Sims 2 is also a huge part of my life. It has been a coping mechanism of mine for a long time, and I can't see my life w/o this silly game. I play other games, but mostly TS2. I even have a blog where I post my game pictures and share stuff I have made. I have a lot of followers, and the Sims community is full of wonderful people.

I spend a lot of time on YouTube. I have 2 favorite YouTubers, who always make me laugh, and it's very helpful for when I am feeling down. I also enjoy watching one of them in particular for their video game playthroughs.

The Sims heckin' rules! I have thousands of hours in those games, mainly The Sims 3 and The Sims 4. I own them all, and all the expansion/stuff packs, except for Sims 2. How many of the expansion and stuff packs do you own? :3

High five, Tyler! :D

For The Sims 2, I have all of the expansions. I have 2 or 3 for The Sims 3 and only the base game for The Sims 4. I never really got into 3 or 4, but I love 2. And getting it to work on my new Windows 10 PC was a bitch!

I watch PewDiePie. :) I think he's hilarious. Although he doesn't play as many games as he used to, but I still go back and watch his older video game playthroughs. Watching him play Ao Oni was particularly hilarious.

I usually hit the gym for fun. Lifting weights, etc. No cardio, that makes me sad :lol:

Vagueing out on pinterest, youtube, etc.

Reading too when my brain is "slow" enough for it to actually sink in. Also, if I'm not too slow or depressed for it to sink in too.

Playing with my bunny. She's freaking adorable and it's incredibly relaxing just watching her bounce happily all around my room, or having her come up to me for pets and cuddles.
BP 1 and other fun stuff.
