Hey Pandas, What's Your Go-To Self-Comforting Habit? (Closed)

I know this probably won't be popular but I have a lot of depression, anxiety and a bunch of physical issues. I use my medical marijuana. It has always helped me out with a minimum of side effects and usually cheers me up a little. And then it helps me enjoy books, music and specially comedy so much better. I've tried almost every med out there and this covers the most symptoms by far. If this fails...stay in bed.

Making coffee and drinking it in my favorite chair with my grumpy old cat in my lap.

I like to make an entire bathtub of jello and then sit in it.

I knit or crochet. A lot of the time I'm not even making anything specific just doing it for the sheer relaxation of making something out of a ball of yarn. I learned while I was convalescing from an operation and now I'm horribly addicted.

Making up stories in my head. I'm a big reader, and love fantasy, (especially when a little bit of romance is throw in) and I enjoy telling stories to myself as I'm falling asleep. I also turn my music all the way up and pretend that I'm a good singer. I'm not.

Humming/singing aloud. It stops me from losing control of my tears.

Listening to depressing music honestly helps me feel better

I watch SpongeBob, it calms my nerves and just makes me feel better.

It sounds silly but i love stuffed toy animals, i have autism and when i have anxiety i have tiny little stuffed animals in my pockets, theyre very comforting to hold and squish

Ordering food and watching comedy TV series that I pretty much can quote at this point.

Grab the nearest cat and give it a long hug. Make yourself feel even worse? The cat you chose rejects you!

Sleep. A good rest can do wonders

Taking one of my mountain bikes for a long ride. Music in my ears, no people around. Riding my bike is my happy place 🥰

During an argument, it's to completely shut down. I neither speak nor cry, I just stare at one particular spot in a daze and think about something completely random. During sadness, I cook anything I'm feeling for.

For some reason, singing "Happy Birthday" in Japanese repeatedly until I feel better

I find myself rocking back and forth a lot. I've done it since childhood. Sometimes I do it in public and I catch myself and think I must look like a crazy person. Even if I'm standing I tend to sway back and forth.

Any activity that will allow me NOT to think. Doing something mundane, menial like cleaning. Or cooking, baking something that I know the recipe by heart. I like to dance with my broom or mop when I'm cleaning. Stuff like that.

Video games and TV for the most part

Only the frosting on cake. I buy a cake for 2 and eat just the frosting. I always have one in the freezer.

I chant Nam Myoho Renge Kyo and/or say affirmations to lift myself up and raise my life condition.
