I need an outlet.
Exercise gets out built up anger/rage/frustration for me, but meditation stops it from building up in the first place. Listening to music lowers my frustration/rage levels, but making music helps me resolve whatever is causing the frustration/anger for good. Video games release my anxiety, and writing helps me resolve anxiety permanently.
Good for you to have that figured out. That’s amazing
I’m never sure if this will make sense to people, but here in a CPTSD subreddit this may make sense to you: Life did not afford me the option not to figure out the coping mechanisms I just mentioned. The alternative to figuring those things out was death or something similar. I’m stronger for what I’ve learned, but the brutality of the processes that forced me to find those activities and know how to utilize them to maintain my sanity has harmed my view of life itself.
This is well-put.
