I dream about buying a bit of land somewhere ruralish, building a small home, having animals. Nothing fancy. Just away from people and away from the noise of life.

I would love to do that. Off-grid and totally self-sufficient. It would be challenging to set up but so worth it in the end.

I pretend I am a robot stuck in a human world that needs to blend in by acting overly human. An example, I felt down so I put my phone and stuff away and got some food at a noodle place. Since I had no phone to bypass time I instead marvled at the chefs putting together a meal for me and made sure they got hyped up by me watching. After enjoying a meal that I watched with so much anticipation I let those guys know that damnnn that food made my day! It makes an occurence like just going to eat food a lot less boring dystopia and a lot more human!

Something about working until your muscles get that numbness to it.

The rest of the world aside from what you’re doing just melts away and you reach a point where it doesn’t matter.

And hey it’s good exercise.

I know that I might get a loooot of hate for this ,but the people that understand traumour and anxiety might understand or even just people that are respectful but anyway,I get into the headspace of a dog ,I don’t know why it helps but for some reason the more relaxed thought process and not needing to care about anything slows down my non stop racing brain allowing me to actually sleep ,I understand people are now going to hate ,but it’s what I do to feel happy so if your a decent person please don’t hate on me …

I'm the exact same way. I like to make really ingredient/process intensive meals. It's so gratifying. Even if it's something I won't eat, cooking for my parents during the pandemic has been so satisfying!

Late at night, I take my bike and ride to my old elementary school that's now a public park. I sit down on the same bench I've always sat at, and I start recording.

I've found that talking my problems out, or talking about anything, just helps me to escape. Some of those audio logs I've listened to countless times. I catch myself thinking "wow, I actually said that."

Maybe someday I'll post them online, or preserve them as a memento to the times I've lived through.

I can tell you right now, if I never started making those logs I wouldn't be half the person I am now.

Me, too. I imagine all the people I would give money to and how happy they would be...and the free vet clinic I'd set up and all the shelters for unwanted animals I would build that make them feel at home and not in a prison. Simple, I know, but a person can dream.

I find a cozy, somewhat isolated section of a trail or creek and smoke a cigar while listening to podcasts. Can't say it's the healthiest habit, but it gets me outdoors and makes me less anxious.

I am a flight simulator hobbyist, and I escape by delving into the simulator.

For over 10 years now, when life gets to me, I make an escape by perfecting my flight sim world, not much unlike a model train enthusiast creates dioramas in their basement.

Aircraft modelling, sound engineering, environment textures such as the sky, ground, water, and trees, buildings, airport details, there's always something to tweak and work on and improve to make actually using the simulator for simulating just a bit more fun and realistic!

But my favorite part of it all is AI traffic.

Myself and a team of other enthusiasts have worked for years now to "back-date" the AI traffic in flight sim with schedules and aircraft going from the late 90s and early 00s all the way back to the 30s in some instances. We can choose what year we want to fly, and with a week or two of work on installing schedules, we can fly in that year in our flight sim. Currently my project has been 1998, and this has been so incredibly rewarding!

I live by and love my flight sim. It has always been there for me when life is too much and continues to be there for me when I have free time. Nothing else like it on this planet 🙂

That sounds awesome. My dad had a model railway (NEVER a "train set!) and the biggest restriction on him was space. Must be nice to know that you're never going to run out of room.

You really need to try lucid dreaming, it takes time but is the best there are several books you can read them for instructions and you can do anything in your dreams on your own command. It's pretty cool tbh.

Go free diving. You have to leave absolutely everything behind at the surface. Quiet your mind, calm your body, and meditate while you sink into the weightless and peaceful embrace of Mother Ocean. Plus you can get super close to all of your gilled friends.

Or rock climbing (real climbing outside), similar concept but not quite as immersive.

Pictured: scuba diving. Free diving is going down without a tank, for as long as you can hold your breath. I prefer scuba, where you can hover in the environment for 20+ minutes at a time.
