butter seems to help lol.

if there is any seriousness to it, my serious reply is that i write.
or, somehow otherwise i create, or destroy, whatever gets the emotions without hopefully harming anyone. breaking something of little value can help

writing a song or a poem or even a letter to someone that you never intend to send. they can all be pretty helpful. hope this helps.

I'm stuck now in my shame and guilt of my PTSD. I am self-harming to try and cope and my TDoc wants me committed for several weeks. I don't how to resolve my fundamental facts to a new resolution that will allow me to move forward.

WheN I get stuck... depends on/in what? Emotional/PTSD stuff? I range from painting to self-harm. Other stuff, just keep moving till it's over. I don't know how to explain. I'm sorry.

When I am stuck, I stop struggling because it only makes it worst. I then focus on self care by praying, lay down, rest, eat and of course cry. But then I sometimes journal and watch tv and pray again.

It depends on how I'm stuck. If it involves any kind of problem solving I should try to check: whether the problem I'm trying to solve is the actual problem, and then check whether there are better options I haven't considered yet. Sometimes I actually explain or imagine I'm explaining the situation to someone else. That helps me see it more objectively sometimes. But, I'm still learning to remember to do this.

Also, if I'm stuck on a task and can't get unstuck I sometimes change tasks for a while.

If I remember, I pray.

All of these techniques are useful to me when I remember them.

i don't do anything. i just wait for it to change and hope it gets better. is that wrong?

Tryna, you have some good coping techniques. That’s great!

Thor, I am sorry you have been struggling. I hope that things start improving for you. You are a good person.

Leo, I do a little painting too. It is a good coping strategy.

Rose, great coping skills. Your right sometimes struggling can make it worse.

Beryl, grat advice, it’s good to re-evaluate and see if we really have a problem.

Rroo, waiting for change is good. Everyone has their way of coping.

Thanks everyone. I like to evaluate the situation to figure out how to resolve it or ask others for how they would resolve it like here to get some ideas.
