how do yall brothers stay sane in this society?

[Guile]

Don't resent people, try your best not to hold on to anger.

 

[TheBeigeBomber]

Though I don't know why I chose to smoke sess
I guess that's the time when I'm not depressed
But I'm still depressed and I ask what's it worth?
Ready to give up so I seek the old Earth
Who explained working hard may help you maintain
To learn to overcome the heartaches and pain

 

[GodinDaFlesh]

-Count your blessings
-Have long term goals that you are working to achieve
-Indulge in vices (video games, TV shows, junk food, sex/porn etc. This helps get your mind off of your worries and increases your pleasure)

 

[Ice Water]

There is someone out there in a worse situation and coping breh. Think about that!

Never believe you're in the worse situation and never think it won't get better.

It will if you want it to.

 

[Bless't]

Apathy.
i just be like fukk everything, worry about me.

This... all day, every day.

I'm slowly starting to find things that give me back some personal joy as I've ever-so-increasingly become accustomed to being a cog in the wheel. All I care about is my family and me. Other than that, fukk everything else.

OP, you need Christ!!

When God saved me I found joy in no longer desiring worldly things and the american dream but rather being happy with what the Lord has already blessed me with. I'm blessed and so are you, you just can't see it.

Exercise works for me for immediate stress relief. Venting to friends helps too.

Feels like the more you learn about what's going on, the madder you can get so I limit how far I go into the rabbit hole.

As soon as I feel myself getting annoyed at shyt going on in this world, I tap out for a few hours or days if I have to.

 

[Standing on business]

yeah man, i think i have too much knowledge of the system....now im bitter and angry because i can see the world for what it is...i try hard to just ignore these thoughts but ii keeps eating at me

sadly this happens to all us, and despite how much money we have or dont have we all have some level of depression and demons inside of us

 

[CinnaSlim]

Taoism, Living in the Present. Appreciating the small things, serving others and showing love, gratitude and respect to yourself and others

 

[Heafcliffe]

I feel ya breh. Went through something similar a few years ago (shyt, from time to time, still go through it). I did the following:

-First: Kicked all naysayers, non-supporters and really any mafukka that didn't truly have your best interest at heart (unfortunately, included many family members)
-Stayed active (balled, cycled, visited museums/ landmarks, etc.)
-Ate better and drank water (Clean body = clean mind)
-Allowed myself to go through the peaks and valleys of my emotions. Fighting them made it worse
-Opened my horizons and did different things (i.e. took up art and photography, attending cigar rolling classes, listen to a different genre of music, etc.)
-Focused on someone other than yourself and making someone laugh/ smile (laughter is contagious)

-Ate better and drank water (Clean body = clean mind)

I was surprised at how much better I felt when I did this.

You can't control events. You can control your attitude in response to those events.

Your attitude is about the only thing you really can control in life.

 

[GoFlipAPack]

Jesus, family, friends
You also have to look deep within and believe with God's help that you can overcome any obstacle set in front of you.

Breh I think bc of all the stuff Ive done I feel like God doesn't love me.

 

[Kenny West]

I punch people on a semi regular basis

 

[AceDeuce]

By knowing that everyday I succeed in these white folks world, even if its mariginal by anyone elses standards...im doing a service to myself and other black folks. That, and knowing that for every day I have lived after 22, I beat statistics that said I wouldnt last this long...
