Haven't tried this method yet, but what the heck. You snooze you lose.

I did this when I was a teenager and it was surprisingly effective at helping me get out of a depressive period.

Instead of barking I would drown out the negative with a small, pre-thought up, positive sentence about myself. When I caught the negative thoughts, I'd drown them out with it in my head.

Drown that which effects our mental state. Got it.

It worked for God

i do it with little songs or like jazz scatting (lol).

But it doesn't help for nighttime lying in bed (especially if my partner is asleep) - so for that I use the method where you consciously check in and stop moving and relax each muscle in your body as granulary as you can - toes, heels, tops of feet, ankles, calves... all the way up to head.

People think I'm weird because I meow randomly but I am actually weird because I meow to interrupt thoughts I don't wanna have

I randomly start singing swear words, but I've learned to do it quietly

All of Hyperbole and a Half was great.

I hope the author's doing okay. From what I understand she was struggling with some pretty severe depression, which is why she stopped posting.

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 10 points 5 months ago

I think she's just smart enough to not live her life in the public eye. Her Wikipedia entry shows she pops up every once in a while, most recently in 2020.

If they can’t handle me at my worst (insufferable), then they don’t deserve me at my best (tolerable)

[-] clearleaf@lemmy.world -5 points 5 months ago

I don't get how someone can worry about this when they're in a relationship. There's clearly nothing that wrong with them if they have living proof of the opposite standing right there.

A love relationship is different from a work relationship or a friendship. They require different skills, functions and have different stakes.
