Go to the beach, paint ball, hiking ect. Something outside that gets u away from life for a few hrs! Youll get through GL Illusion!Comment -
When you're down the only things to do is drink or do drugs. I'd advise a big fat blunt. It'll make you very happy in no time. How old were the people that died?Comment -
drinking and drugs are the proper medication pal. no other way illusion. get it doneComment -
Pot makes me sick, so that's out. If I drank more than my norm I would probably be in a hospital.Originally posted by treeceComment -
Read the bible and get in touch with the spirit of God that's within you, and you will know that the devil is the angel of death. Rebel against all the things you feel are devillment in your life for a while. That way you get some form of revenge on the coward.Comment -
lift and then sleepComment -
Sorry to hear that, bud. I like to write when I'm down. Whether it's a screenplay, novel, or short story, it's cathartic for me. Otherwise, to pass time I like to do something active, usually play basketball or something sports related. Or perhaps go shopping for a new gadget to play with. Anything to keep you mentally occupied...Originally posted by IllusionComment -
Sorry bout the bad news bud. My advice would be to read the bible like TheGreat said. The lord will answer all you're questions.. GL bud...Comment -
go to church
talk to your preacher
go for a walkComment -
Def do something active, i liked the suggestion of paintball. Otherwise, hiking is good, going for a walk. Anything where you can see the beauty of man or nature.Comment -
Sorry to hear about your loss. No matter how I cope with hard times in life it seems time is what helps most, but you can never go wrong with prayer I dont know your religious beliefs but as others have said there is comfort in the WORD OF GODOriginally posted by IllusionComment -
First and foremost, my condolences. A couple things that have been good for myself were to hit the punching bags (heavy and speed) and/or work in the shop area of the homestead on a new project. one is physical, the other physical and mental. over the years I've had to purchase more than a few bags and have some decent/nice/good assortment of furniture. With the furniture I keep it for one year of their death, then give it to a surviving family member with an inscription in a non-normal visible location. It may not "work" for others, but it's how it's dealt with here.Originally posted by Illusion

It used to be I would call my dad when I was down. Now I just drink more.Originally posted by IllusionComment -
Go take those winnings you won the other night back to the casino and see if you can double it. Maybe you will get lucky and win as much as your friend did the other night who was playing there with you.
Now that should take your mind off your troubles.

Well like others have already said, drinking and drugs are your top two choices, but I totally understand why you're not looking in that direction. If I were in your shoes, I'd take gm2022's advice of getting out into nature, but don't just try to enjoy it. If you're in a bad mood that never works. You need to get your hands on some fireworks, homemade explosives, or a shotgun and just go mess some shit up out there. Oh, and if there are quail on the road to get there, then you have to pitch your car sideways and open the door. You'd be surprised how often their little stubby wings fly them right into the car, and watching them flip out trying to get out of your car and back to their buddies is the best entertainment in the world.Originally posted by StraitShooterComment -
Oh, I forgot prescription drugs. If you have any friends with prescriptions for some of the hefty opiates (MS Contin, Oxycontin, etc.) then crush the pill and take a quarter of the powder every hour until you're so happy that all you can do is lay on the floor with a grin, wishing you had the strength to jackoff. In about five hours you'll be back to yourself but with a much happier outlook on life.Originally posted by StraitShooterComment -
I'd say lift, friends, and sleep. Don't get me wrong....booze is the cause and solution to many of life's problems, it may just cause more problems in this area. I lost my mom earlier this week, and I've gone the keep busy and sleep route. My friends will be in town tonight/tomorrow....so I may test the booze theory.
ps. Watch out on the Booze + opiates....that doesn't end well.Comment -
sorry to hear that bro...
Maybe a nice little weeks vacation to a diffrent location would help? If your straped for cash, Go to the closest 5 star hotel...catch a show, get a massage just stuff to relax the mind for a few days.Originally posted by SBR_JohnComment -
Find something that can occupy your time. You know yourself better than anyone on this forum (I would hope) and would be able to figure out how to keep your mind occupied. I'm sure RogueScholar's suggestion of blowing things up would work for him, but might not be practical in other areas or for you.
Regardless of what you do, you're still going to have to end up dealing with it at some point.Comment -
Sorry to hear about your loss. My prayers are with you.Comment -
Go Hashing, look up Hash House Harriers in your area on google. excercise beer an sometimes topless womenComment -
Get out of the house. Get some exercise, clears the mind and lets you think better.
Sorry to hear the bad news.
Stay strong.

Sorry for your situation, Illusion. Hang in there.
My advice is to try to keep your life as close to normal as possible. Weather the storm.
Otherwise, find solace in others close to you. But in the end, it's something you'll have to come to peace on your own and in your own time. In the meantime, just hang in there.Comment
