What keeps you sane?

[Zap Rowsdower]

I find that a murder here and there does the trick quite nicely...

Actually, after thinking, I don't know what. Due to this realization I have decided to go mad. Say your last goodbyes to most people in North Eastern America.

The fact that I'm made of awesome. Really, I've got no reason at all to go insane. Unless of course you count a slight superiority-complex as insanity.

But, alas, even I get a little bit sad now and then. Then I play with my cat, listen to some good music or watch something funny. And remind myself how fucking awesome I am.

Metal music, whether it be speed, power, thrash, industrial.
Also my friends (my Escapist friends too )

 

[WittyName]

Knowing that even though my other half has left for Uni, I can still text/IM her whenever I have time.

It may sound sappy, but it makes me feel better knowing she's not as far away as I think.

 

[SimuLord]

I live alone, I don't watch TV, don't listen to political pundits and/or talk radio, and I've got a light at the end of the tunnel---in 613 days I'm moving home to Boston to start my life for real (yes kids, you too can be in your mid-thirties and finally figure out what you want to be when you grow up!)

Every married woman I went to high school with wants to set me up with her single friends when I get back home, too! My friend Louise, a schoolteacher, says "I bet my younger, gorgeous coworkers would love a guy like you!"

So that's what keeps me sane. If I felt like I was gonna be stuck in Reno for the rest of my life working shitty call center or casino jobs, I'd have killed myself...and people wouldn't be like "how could he do that?!", they'd be more like "least surprising news I've ever heard." This place is nicer in Fallout 2.

 

[Azure Sky]

Me? Sane? You make a funny. =3

OT: Probably the shear weight of my willpower, but that just leads to a different kind of twisted. ^^

 

[Zirat]

My happy pills

They gave you pills? Im still stuck with the shots!

Anyway, on topic though what really helps me is the ocasional venting I can do on this site, and others like it. Not a naturaly open person so internet anonymity really helps that fact out. Also some creative writing I get to do in the RP boards are pretty helpful
And then there are some animals I am tasked to take care of, things seem a lot simpler when you are caring for other things...

 

[RatRace123]

Abso-frickin'-lutely nothing. I revel in my madness, REVEL!

MWA HA HA HA AH AH AHA AHA AHAHAHAHAHA!

Abso-frickin'-lutely nothing. I revel in my madness, REVEL!

MWA HA HA HA AH AH AHA AHA AHAHAHAHAHA!

Want my Xbox Live gamertag then? It'd fit you a lot better than me.

 

[Julianking93]

Writing music. I would be a complete mess otherwise.

You write music? I did not know that.

Indeed I do. Not necessarily well, but I do nonetheless.

Well that's cool. What do you like to write?

 

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

I think it's the other way around.

My sanity is secured by absences...absence of abuse, caring about the small stuff, or unalterable mental illness.

I live a comfortable little life...

 

[thenumberthirteen]

The Escapist. Good for a laugh and I can discuss the games and geekdom I can hardly go into with my friends or co-workers.

 

[YouBecame]

At the moment my career. Which sounds nuts because I can get really irritated sat at my computer coding it up. But since I landed my first baby steps into my grad job, having such a constructive step in my life really is a boon.

Also I took up sport again in a big way, like 4 times a week. This gives me something to look forward to. I've gotten back into goalkeeping in football, which has been awesome, gotten back into fencing which I have missed dearly and started playing silly sports like space hopper polo.

That's what keeps my spirits high at the moment

 

[gl1koz3]

I don't think I can go crazy. I'd try for a moment and get bored, and move on to the next thing.

 

[KefkaCultist]

I have no sanity left. My mind and world is a chaotic, delusional mess.

actually, I listen to music and punch things. Oh, Escapist helps keep what sanity I have left too.

 

[Plastic Muscles]

My Insanity

Wait... What?

But in all seriousness music in general keeps my sanity.

 

[zombiestrangler]

An almost Zen laziness about life in general.

 

[LightningBanks]

I can barely stay sane at home, any other time the daylight and my friends I guess. It cant be all too long before Im either cured of my depression or go over the edge and do something I regret

 

[Section Crow]

Music mostly, can't keep a good song down

the first sign of insanity is sanity
