Depends what the release is from. Depression? I need animal videos and my dog. Anger? Pillow/bed fight/wrestling. Anxiety? Rolling on the ground and doing weird stretches. Overwhelmed? Weight lifting.

Drama movies if I need a good cry

Go to hibernation mode.

My main go to is my babies. They're the main reason I'm staying alive and continue to fight through everything. I love them more than life itself and would never hurt them like that. Just cuddling & loving on them helps sometimes.

My go to for breaking obsessive fascination with dark themed tv and social media is to switch to cat videos, music videos,vocal coach videos. I changed by alarm ring to Everybody Dance Now.

I used to go on shock sites and watch mindless gore for hours until I get bored and feel good enough but then I realized it was unhealthy so I'm currently trying to find healthier coping mechanisms like playing Ace Attorney

I have some favorite movies that I've watched a kajillion times before: Legally Blond, all of the Pitch Perfect movies, Crazy Rich Asians, Pride & Prejudice Kiera Knightly version, Sense & Sensibility Kate Winslet version, the Harry Potter movies, Talking Heads Stop Making Sense concert movie. I also like to play PC games, especially match-3, solitaire, griddlers, Mystery Case Files, Christmas Stories. I like making small format mixed media pieces and also coloring. Crossword puzzles.

I will turn my music up loud and start to cry.....or watch a movie that will make me cry like a baby.

Listening to music and playing call of duty helps me.
