If you're in the lowest lows what was/is your go-to self-destructive habit? Mine personally is self-harm, something I have been working to overcome since I was a preteen.

I scare myself without meaning too. I usually scrabble around in my pockets for my Phone, Keys and Wallet, and sometimes I feel like I can't find them, even though their there. I get really panicked from doing that.

It used to be selfharm, and it still sometimes is. Then risky sexual behavior. But these days I mostly tend to drink alcohol to cope.

Isolation, I have friends to hang out with but sometimes I close them out for no real reason. Sometimes it's just out of spite, like they'll shut down my offers and I'll just do the same somewhere down the road.

Self-harm. I do it more often when I'm frustrated with myself (or upset in general). It's nothing serious though, just banging my head on my wall, scratching my face or neck or slapping the shit out of myself. Either that or I punch the shit out of the closest inanimate object to me, because fuck them, those stupid little shit bitches.
Risky sexual behavior is something I don't want to delve into, but I think I might be doing it. Does ejaculating to hentai 5 times in a row in under 2 hours every 3-4 days in a bathroom after midnight while trying to make the least amount of noise possible because my family is asleep count?

I’m sure you guys can take a gander in my case. 😅



At the moment my risky exploits are behind me. I only fuck my girl now and express my horniness on MAL instead of expressing it with hook ups or through consuming porn or uploading lewd content (or making it myself).

Ten years ago it was self harm (with main focus on the wrists) and it was possibly going to be dangerous, it stopped some months after when i finally unfriended a disgusting online """""friend"""" who was also informed about it but didn't care, because i was only a username/tool for his projects in his mind, rather than an actual person.
Binge and even worse restrictive eating were never considered because i don't put on weight as most people would while eating the same amount. Gambling, just a single day once again in 2011 and didn't go on after. I always hated drugs and never even smoked a single cigarette even in my darkest hours, and risky sexual behavior... considering who i am, a risk never existed in the first place. Self harm isn't totally gone because when i mess up hard in my job, i slap myself avoiding to be watched by my coworkers who saw me doing this before and are not happy about it.

I hate how hard it is to form habits...
There's so much stuff where actually doing it isn't hard, but forming the habit seems
impossible.
It just makes you feel so useless, like you can't do anything right.
I think the new generation suffers from it the most...
Probably because we have a totally different set of skills than those who came before us.
Thanks to the internet, we're really good at sifting through tons of information really quickly...
But we're bad at doing things that don't give us instant gratification.
I think if science, psychology, and education don't catch up in the next ten or twenty years, then we're in trouble.
But for the time being...
If you're not one of the people who can conquer the problem, you might just have to live with feeling awful about yourself.
Good luck, I guess!

Used to be self harm, drugs and alcohol a short gambling phase and restrictive eating. Now its only restrictive eating and a very very unhealthy sleep schedule which I should really fix. Cant really fix the part with restrictive eating tho, but its fine since I didnt face any grave health issues as of yet

Honestly depends if I am feeling like I am getting fat I'll starve myself for days to weeks trying not to eat.

Whenever I get really depressed I would shut the world off and just avoid people, put my phone on do not disturb, just disassociate at work, sleep all day. Not like anyone will call or message me asking if I am ok or where I been.

I do tend to compulsive work or shop sometimes too to distract myself I guess? Like just buy a bunch of stuff for that quick serotonin or spoil my friends with gifts cause I feel like shit so I don't want people I care about to be sad either.

I did try weed once but didn't do anything for me since I have a high tolerance. Also tried self harm cutting but doesn't really do anything either?

I guess binge eating, but I took care of my mental problems and lost most of my over-weight.

I still like to overeat sweets sometimes, but my lifestyle now evens it out. Still a bit chubby though. :3

I eat nothing during the day and then some evenings/weekends when I'm stressed I binge-eat. I used to cut but it did jack all but deter me from wearing short sleeves. I wish I had the depression where you forget to eat instead of forgetting to stop eating ffs.

Drugs and alcohol. I'm not an alcoholic and I don't abuse it constantly but when I'm around it with friends I just wanna go all out. I love the feeling of being high on something like Molly but I also value being sober so I can make the right decision for myself. It's conflicting and it usually ends with regret.

Around covid lockdowns I abused a lot of drugs. Probably the most I've ever abused.

Having a decent amount of unprotected sex with strangers.

I stopped that after things didnt go well.

Maybe in some way restrictive eating. I had a bit of obsession with sports and my eating habits some years ago and therefore also had some nice abs and all... then I managed to stop, because it has been too much.
But since some time I have an app to count calories again and worry too much about it. I always had a normal body built, but for some time my stomach hasn't been that flat like I wanted it to be, so I startes to use the app to count calories again and do some sports. My basic metabolic rate is ca 1.400, not including activities, so I mostly eat 1.200-1.500 a day + do 25-30 minutes of training.
It's not that obsessive and also not that thoughts- and time consuming like it has been some years ago. Still getting on my nerves somehow, but when I don't do it, I kinda expect myself to become fat. Tho I'm never overeating and not eating fast food, still gain weight quite easily.

I've also drinking too much sometimes, especially when I have been stressed, but now I'm okay with only a few cocktails when going out or one drink at home.

Also sometimes buying stuff, although I know I don't have the money for it. Most stuff I won't buy, but some slipped through.

You give me too much credit. Work implies I profited where I did not. Pure low self esteem move lol.

But I reject the concept of help because I'm a stubborn bitch but I am doing better anyway so I guess it works out in the end.

Torturing myself with negative thoughts. I would put insane expectations on myself, and put myself down if I didn't meet them. Thankfully though I have been feeling much better lately.

From the list, alcohol.. though I am strict about it's consumption, I have in times of desperation taken it in the past..

I have escapist tendencies.. and instead of continuing with what I should be doing I have a tendency of shutting everything down, closing everything out and lay in bed and going to sleep or waste my time escaping into music, videos, films, anime etc.. Sometimes I just go out on long walks, leaving everything behind.. it's not as self-destructive as the ones on the list but it's not nice either..

I cry a lot too, it's detrimental to my health.

I used to be more self-destructive, I'm trying to be more healthful in mind and actions..

I am always eating too much all the time, but luckily I have the metabolism of a horse, so I don't gain too much weight, but I consume too much sugar, something that I should not do since I already have my insulin over the limit and two grandparents with diabetes.

When I was younger, I would press my nails against my skin, bite myself or punch my legs when I was enraged by something.

mine was Binge eating. I have always been eating too much when I was little I was bullied bc of my weight (the dumbest thing to get bullied about imo) the words hurt my feeling that's when I decided to eat my pain away the bullying stopped when I went to middle school (I moved to a different house and went to a different district). I'm trying to eat less from now on but my mom cooking so god damn good
