what calms me

what normally keeps me calm is listening to music and singing it gently, the music may seem like not calming music but it’s the type that can feel real and that I can understand emotionally and philosophical.. as well as talking to people about my problem, even if it might make them depressed.... it might be because I’m selfish and not needed in the world, you may say otherwise but I hurt people and annoy them, I may seem nice but this is the internet... it isn’t always real, it can trick you, lots of things here are fake... like my emotions a lot of the time.. I hide my pain alot which builds my depression but it makes me seem nicer and I can get people to like me but a small and minor thing can release that depression which pisses people off cause they’re like “you get depressed over that?” or also like “your life isn’t that bad” but it builds up and up, and those people don’t understand cause nobody is like me, even when people try and comfort me it doesn’t work cause they use what they’ve felt before... not what’s going on with me or what I’m talking about, nobody understands what I say which could mean I’m different from the rest of the world, being to deep that others think I’m an idiot because they’re taught that “if you don’t understand what others are saying they’re probably wrong” and that pisses me off cause I know that life is harder than what it may seem but we make it easier with more comforting things and different thoughts on emotions... I did say I was into philosophy, well here you go... a philosophical paragraph, depressing to normal people cause they think it’s sad or funny to pricks or just nothing to the people who don’t get it... or.. to people like me you get it and can help yourself off my words and I could do the same but so far, nobody like me.... still searching for the perfect partner for me but she won’t show up in my life, I’m waiting but stopped the search when I knew it won’t happen

RE: what calms me

I don't know how you feel yourself, but personally I have had many issues with anxiety in the past. I take medicine for it and it helps me loads more than I ever thought it would. I've been in and out of hospitals for years and years and I've seen people who are sick and I know that sometimes it doesn't seem like it but medicine with the right kind and dosage can do wonders. Thank you for sharing your story. No one is here to judge but only help. If you ever need someone to talk to I'm always here.

For me, breathing sessions (1min-4mins) at a time. And Meditation. I'm probably doing it wrong but just me attempting to meditate helps me. That said, it's been awhile so I have almost forgot why I even wanted to try meditation.

And Music.

Have you tried Yoga? It's not only meant to keep you fit but also helps to release your stress. Taking a hot bath also helps to relax your muscles and thus could change your mood.

I do meditation twice a day morning and in the night. It really calms me.

Just let go off of negativity. Be positive and everything will be fine.

For me it's music and food.

Listening to music and having my favourite Soup is the best feeling in the world.

RE: what calms me

Sharing your problems with your closest will certainly take load off your mind. At the same time the mental agony or depression that you are going through, unfortunately you yourself should try to overcome. No one is 100% happy here. All have some problem or other nagging them all the time. You are not alone in this. I hope you will try at least some of the above mentioned solutions. I would go for yoga and meditation. It certainly has the power to keep your mind calm and peaceful. Medication should be another option if matters get worse. Be positive.

I meditate routinely and it helps me evacuate unwanted thoughts from my mind, supports body relaxation and provide soothing visualizations to stay focus.

Sometimes If I am hyper active, I try to have pretty solitary time and relax to recharge myself and gain all strength.

RE: what calms me

If I am feeling stressed, I have found a few different outlets help, based on the type of situation I am in. For most of the major stuff, I walk off the stress. Sometimes this takes no more than an hour; other times much longer. If I can't get out to walk, enjoying the outside away from noise can help. The last thing is usually is dependent on the situation, but for lightly stressed scenarios, I have managed to calm down my mental state, by either playing games or watching movies.

RE: what calms me

If I am feeling stressed and want to unwind, there are a few different activities that can help my mental well being. One being is going to our local beach to do some fishing. I love connecting with nature, listening to natural surroundings and collecting my thoughts into one section of my brain. Sea Fishing is very relaxful!

I don't really know how others might see this but what calms me down in any kind of situation is money. Just send me money and once I get to see the credit alert, I'm 100% alright immediately.

Mediation is something that I have really trying to get into and it's not connecting for me. I always get distracted by the things that are bothering me which are really pressing.

Meditation is something that has made me calm and controlled my anger as well. Started with once a day and then continued it twice a day after a month.

Good cold weather actually do the trick for me as well especially when it's too hot in the day for me. It's why I love winter season so much.

I have actually tried to get into meditation on more than one occasion but I always seem to lose focus whenever I'm doing it.

This is where monks thrive very well. I wish that it's something that I can do for myself because it's something that looks soothing when you see those that are doing it.
