What comforts you?

[Ghost_Queen]

I'm a stuffed animal type of girl, I have 12 and I comfortably sleep with all of them in my bed I was watching Scooby-Doo with my nephew in the morning and he liked it

[Ghost_Queen]

I love taking walks! But it gets so hot around this time of year that if you don't wear light clothes and sunscreen you are done for. Oh yes those memory cards, I remember telling my brother to burn them because Ben drowned was inside them

[VibrantFox]

aside from my dog i've come to find more comfort in places than people so even tho i haven't been in more than a while there's still something especially soothing to me about the ocean. if anything it reflect a lot when i'm gaming coz i'm usually finding myself drawn to seaside locations if there are any and staying there otherwise it's hunting down decent ambiance videos with recordings of it

[Ghost_Queen]

Fluffy friends and a good movie or TV show sounds like the perfect way to spend some time.

[AmazementComics]

Oh my God yes! It used to be a struggle for me. But I bought a memory card off eBay that stores 2053 blocks of data. It’s made my gaming experience so much easier.

@Ghost_Queen

I actually 100% completed Mario Sunshine. Fantastic game, but also very underrated. I would say my favorite game is Mario Kart: Double Dash.

[Ghost_Queen]

OMG yes the ocean is so pretty too bad I'm scared of it but yes I understand. It's so calming

[Ghost_Queen]

I completely forgot about that mario kart! Oh the memories, I would always put Daisy and Luigi together because people said they were a couple XD

[cherrystark]

In some way I understand, sometimes we just need that pressure and to drown out the noise.

Yep. It gives me a sense of control when I have to do something that makes me uncomfortable.

I have converted all my nieces and nephews to Scooby Doo. They ALL love it and their parents blame me. I regret nothing.

[AmazementComics]

Nice! Yeah Koopa and paratroopa helped through the Grand Prix mode. Good memories .

[vapidink]

My rabbits, Supernatural (this one got me through a bad bout of depression some years ago), music, baking, and games. Especially FF15 because the open world is very relaxing to explore and I spent so much time fishing. Oh, and fanfiction. I could read fanfic for hours and it's a great distraction.

[XiuLyn_12]

Hmm, I've never thought of this. I only need to sleep to comfort myself, haha!
I always feel a bit better once I wake up. Sleeping constantly when you're down is probably not healthy, though.
At one point, I missed a lot of things in reality because I slept early and took naps every day. I wasn't depressed, just didn't feel the happiest.

[abigaillmartin]

Also that I made my characters out of perler beads and me and my little sister and cousins play with them.

[MaxFF]

When I feel depressed, I usually have to bust out the old SNES and PS1 era JRPGs to comfort myself. Usually some Final Fantasy between 4 and 9 or Chrono Trigger.

My grandma was taking care of my great grandma who had Alzheimer's, and apparently surrounding people with alzheimer's with stuff from their past helps them feel more comfortable. My grandma interpreted this as 'make her watch shrek every single day for the rest of her life' my grandma said it was fine because great grandma forgot every time she watched it so it was like she was watching it for the first time every time. My grandmother ended up watching shrek with my great grandmother over 2000 times before my great grandmother died

[abigaillmartin]

Awwww that’s so sad because of her memory loss but also very sweet. I lost my grandmother a few years ago and due to personal circumstances I couldn’t see her often so I’m glad you got to be there for her in that hard time.

[Shanny8]

Watching any good anime
Working on art that I'm really amped up about
Homemade chili
Baked soft/chewy chocolate chip cookies
Staying warm under the sheets/blankets on cold rainy nights

Wallowing in despair

Seriously though, when I'm feeling down I actually do find it comforting to just dwell on how down I am and letting the emotions run its course. Sometimes it leads to inspiration for my stories, and then I can feel comforted in knowing I have some emotionally resonant stuff to write about XD

If I try to distract myself with nice things, I just find myself unable to enjoy those nice things so I might as well save those nice things for when I'm in a better mood and able to enjoy myself

[LunarScyphozoa]

Soup, coffee mixed with hot chocolate, and sewing little plushies

[ShidoDraws]

Papaya salads, they are my comfort food. I guess it could also be anything spicy. Probably because it makes me feel like I'm still a child cause my mom would always make papaya salads for me as a kid. Though I could never replicate her recipe. Haha!
