Escapes

[Chauntecler]

I find myself needing to escape life for a few hours each day, as I'm sure we all do.

What is your escape?

I like to play video games and watch anime. Get absorbed in a good RPG or well-written anime with great characters. It's actually helped me with my new medication, as when I'm escaping, I don't notice my symptoms or anxiety.

Great thread!

Believe it or not, I've never played a RPG in my life; ever. Someday I would cautiously try one, I suppose if I get faster internet lol...

I still enjoy my old games (not online) such as driving games and some of the classic video games (simulation of course)

Mostly my escape is sleeping and having vivid dreams (hopefully not nightmares - of course)

Just thinking of another good escape that I try to use when I'm alone (which is most of the time) - "Self Talk" <- Just be cautions when 'down' because it can turn further negative and counterproductive to healing - Our minds don't always tell us the truth. I try to use it when I'm "flat" in my mood(s) and see where it takes me (hopefully to a real place & aware of where my negativity stems from and hopefully prevent an future attack of anxiety, or a crash/tank in the mood)

Word games. Not the one we play here (that's fun though) I'm talking about Scrabble type games. They use some part of my brain that just makes me oblivious to everything. I can sit there rearranging letters trying to find a word for longer than I think is normal!

I also find stupid games like Candy Crush Saga a good escape but they inevitably make me lose the plot. I'm not playing any atm for this reason but every now and then I get totally hooked and can play for hours.

I took up bike riding, which is cool. It's a fun way to exercise and really passes the time.

Any of the big ones you think might be true?

I could talk for days about conspiracies, but then again, I am quite a cynical person lol

OH yeah! And don't get me started about Roswell haha

I think there is much truth in most, I really think that they are all there to distract us away from the true big evil plan. Just when we think we are on to something - the real one will sneak up and bite everyone in the ass!

[JustaGal]

How about Walt Disney the pimp...doesnt get more dirty than Disney

Interesting. I try to avoid them, mainly because they do my head in. There's probably a lot of dirty secrets out there we're not told.

What do you think the big plan is? Some kind of banking conspiracy? New world order?

Says you're in London. I'm probably only a street or two away. Put a pot of coffee on. We'll get this stuff solved. ;)

Awesome :D I did not realize haha. I'm in Bexleyheath, Kent. So Greater London if I am not mistaken. I'm a noob when it comes to direction over here, since I only moved here from Belgium three years ago.
If you are not to far, you should come over for tea and maybe some Belgian waffles or chocolate haha :D

I live near the Olympic site. Near the big shopping centre. That's not too far, actually.

You should be careful about offering people waffles and Belgian chocolate on the internet. You're likely to have hoards of people turning up at your door trying to get some. :)

MKUltra / Monarch programming, sex slaves for high officials, New World Order agenda......

I spent way to much time on it! I am not now. Yes, new world order - but some things are just too obvious, I think there is alot of smoke and mirrors. Im not paranoid about it, I cant doing anything anyway.

Burning incense helps me zone out. I like reading sufi poetry as well.

Play Guitar its the only time i don't think of anything and my mind is blank and just play. Sometimes i do some photoshop stuff basically anything that is creative is a distraction

I try to keep up with my music. I recently got back to writing songs after I took a break. I find creating music to be very engaging for me, especially the recording process. If I'm not writing or recording, I play video games to keep me occupied.

I also find exercising to be a great escape. I run six days a week to keep the tension at bay. It works great for me.

[Zena]

I like video games, computer games, art, music, and literature.

[chelle]

Listening to music is a very good way to unwind. I love RPGs and computer games, its fun and it reduces stress.
Gardening is my favourite, it brings nature a little closer to me. :)

[superchick22684]

Listening to music, yoga, computer games, trivia games, crafting/making stuff (pottery, basket weaving etc.) and reading (so easy to escape into a great book!)

The internet and a quiet park.
