how to manage stress

Mastering Stress Management: Stay Cool, Stay Calm Life can often feel like a whirlwind of responsibilities, deadlines, and expectations. In this fast-paced world, stress has become an unwelcome companion for many of us. It lurks in the shadows, ready to pounce when we least expect it, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and drained. But here’s the good news: stress is not an invincible foe,…

reading this fic and ... a character was upset and went to their FWB partner for sex, and the partner unilaterally turned them down like they were being noble, declaring sex is not a healthy coping mechanism??? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??? SEX WITH A TRUSTED ESTABLISHED PARTNER IS A GREAT COPING MECHANISM???????????

like guys. whatttt in the purity culture nonsense. Bad sex-related coping is "seeking out unsafe sex, being deliberately reckless" or "sex with untrustworthy and unkind people" or "lying to someone to get sex" - those are the unhealthy things... NOT SEX ITSELF.

I wanted to continue my previous poll ('What Is Your Biggest Issue Right Now?' Mental health had the most votes, but budgeting/finances and employment were pretty high, so I'll have separate polls for them and link them below. For 'other', comment below. I love hearing your input! :)

Ways I cope with trauma as someone who is not ready /unable to open up about it to a professional

-art. Making vent art. Or edits aka “traumacore” stuff. It feels like im not keeping it to myself which is a relief. But it brings emotions to the surface which can be triggering.

-music that reminds me of the trauma. It doesn’t have to be about the trauma specifically. Songs that remind me of my old mindset. Songs that remind me of the dynamics I had with my abusers. Songs that remind me that they will get karma one day. It’s comforting and helps me release anger.

-writing. This is the most recent tool I’ve been using. I’ve written about my trauma before but this method is using creative writing. It is not uncommon for people to project onto OCs, which is what I do. Writing out their mindsets helps me process how my trauma affected my mental health. I didn’t intentionally do this as a coping skill; I just wanted to write. But writing down my OCs thought processes has helped me.

-talking to other trauma survivors. I do this rarely but it helps to vent on subreddits like r/CPTSD. This account is also helpful, and I find that giving advice to others makes me feel better.

I say this with the deepest sense of hatred imaginable, fuck this article

It kills me as in I find it really funny when fics call it "a mask" when Karamatsu tries to act more confident than he feels, or even when he's upset but doesn't let it show

Its.... emotional self-control. He may not be using the skills that a psychologist would love to see for processes of emotional self-regulation (at least not obviously+it's a gag anime) but it's not unhealthy and it's not exactly masking? It's quite literally developing skills to remain functional regardless of feelings

Compare 18!Krmts to adult Karamatsu. It's obvious which of them has a higher degree of agency, self-sufficiency. They are both stressed out by the events of the movie, but where baby Karamatsu flounders, adult Karamatsu manages to act even as he has moments where he introspects. He's able to use the responsible, rational braincell when he's with Osomatsu, and when he eventually speaks up about the regrets plot he explains the situation effectively.

Shout out to both of them for having so many scenes where they simply observe the situation and think about what to do. 18Karamatsu with visible apprehension, while Karamatsu looks cooler — During the movie is likely because he already knows what'll happen but during the sick dad arch he's more detached. You can quite literally see him meditate and process his feelings on the inside.

What's going on in that head of yours, blue man?

its absolutely hilarious to me how much of coping skills involves feederism as a kink considering how much i personally hate eating

how to not show weakness, especially crying lesser. I'm a very sensitive person and prone to emotional outbursts that are very inconvenient. how do I control my feelings in a healthy way and look unbothered to people?

~🐠

Hi love. Being a very emotionally expressive or sensitive person is not a weakness. Having the ability to feel and express your emotions is a sign of empathy. However, I see how being emotionally dysregulated and not being able to control crying spells will negatively impact your life. Consider reframing your hyperemotional states as misdirected emotions rather than as a sign of weakness.

By this sentiment, I mean that you should absolutely validate your emotions and desire to cry when your feelings are hurt/a situation triggers an emotional response in you while recognizing that there is a time and a place to express these emotions. Instead of trying to get rid of these emotions as something "bad," validate these feelings and tell yourself that you can cry about the situation later at a more appropriate time.

Like everything else, it takes time, practice, and learned discipline to master emotional regulation. So, don't beat yourself up if you slip up a bit on your journey. Learn from the experience, and show up every day with the intention to display your emotions in a contextually-appropriate way without assigning shame or blame to your visceral responses to different situations.

Hope this helps xx
