I'm 52, and was diagnosed with ADHD in my 40's. I have a LOT of coping strategies. I have 24 AirTags on various things. (Once you get past 15 or 20 it can get kind of weird.) I don't put anything other than drinks in my refrigerator drawers, because if I put something that spoils there, I'll forget about it until it goes bad. And of course everything is on autopay. One vital tool I use is checklists (because I read Atul Gawande's "The Checklist Manifesto."). #ADHD #CopingStrategy [1/2]

Any psychologists here that have an option on whether #depression can be a #CopingMechanism?

I mean constantly occupying my mind with my own mental issues instead of global issues seems very tempting right now.

Good news, millennials! You can dissociate AND craft at the same time! Two coping mechanisms for the price of one! Really maximise that coping strategy! And be productive at the same time! Knit yourself a jumper! Forget the horrors! What's not to love?!?

And I’m sorry the unfortunate trauma and tragedy happened. The longer you are unprepared for awful people who are compulsively contrarian with unprocessed trauma and a desire to hurt, the longer we all can’t have nice things. I’m sorry to be the one to break the bad news.
