Greatly depends on the intensity of the walls crumbling.
A lot I can manage through walking, music, bizarrely coming on here.
anything more then it’s friends who know I only reach out for certain stuff when it’s needed, but I also do same for them.
if it’s really bad, my best friend that I grew up with, she has been with me from the start and me for her. We might not see each other for 8 months, but we will and have cross the world for each other.
after that..
Blackened skies haunt my dreams,
Nightmares that are just too real.
Droplets of blood
Seeping through my cuts.
1 cut, 2 cuts, 3 cuts and then more
Waiting for your words
To tare me all apart.
Another ****** memory.
Snow white scars line my wrists.
Blood red tears line my cheeks.
Safety pin bandages cover my arms.
Long restless nights of pain.
I don't know what I'm doing,
Scaring my arms and legs.
I don't know what I'm doing,
Hiding away from the world.
I'm a lost cause,
We've known that from the start.
I'm a messed up guy.
That's never going to change.
I like adrenaline-pumping things. I don't get to skydive that often even though I have a friend who is an instructor for tandem jumps. But something remotely working towards that is my ultimate stress relief like bungee jumping or, in my specific case, skateboarding on a vert ramp. If I can't do or prepare myself for all such things though, I like rollercoasters.
Allowing myself to feel it rather than burying it like I want to. Like other emotions, pain or sadness remind us what we have lived through, or what we have survived. And so I allow myself to experience it.
And when it gets to be unbearable, I use a listing technique to reduce the anxiety and bring me back to the surface.
Say it out loud:
Grab my special stuffed animals and hide under my weighted blanket.

How are you today?

Piano. I notice I play more when I'm stressed and it relieves my anxiety.
-------------Meditation works for me. It calms me down where I can now think straight. A good workout does the same. I would stay away from alcohol or drugs though... they may numb the pain but nothing productive comes from it.

Depends on why and how far I’ve slipped. It be either drinking a few fingers of whiskey to fall asleep for a while, to reaching out when I’m on the edge of oblivion

You're at the end of your rope and can't take any more, time to step outside take a walk just somewhere to calm down and tell yourself you can do it
I get in my truck and drive to a place on the ocean that I have been going to since high school.
Listen to music that will make me cry so that the walls are not the only things that are crumbling.
Talk to my wife.
Or talk to my mom.
That's all I have... but it's enough.
