I enjoy being in the limbo between life and death and the adrenaline in the moment and after I survived. I tell myself I did my job, I deserve peace, play out full stories in my mind. I still have a normal, function life

Overeating.It's calming. For couple minutes and after I get nervous, because i ate to much sweets.

I'm the same. I think I'm addicted to sugar. I can't even bear the thought of giving it up. It feels like life wouldn't be worth living.

I feel I smoke to give myself a sense of control. A way of kicking back.

I dont believe I can feel ok in the world without it. I don't have any memories of feeling ok, I only have the knowing sense of a time when everything was ok. That time, or place, might be non-existence..

For me it's alcohol... up until my other half died I was keeping everything under rapes, then when he died my whole world imploded at first then exploded and then 18months later lost my son to drugs and there was a3 yrs investigation into my husband's death which I was leading, then lost my grandson, it just hasn't stopped and now it's 10yrs on!!!

Sleeping tablets. Benzos calm the nervous system, not the heavy ones, the mild ones. I'm trying to cut down. If there's a support group let me know.

I'm hungry. I'm always hungry, until I'm so full I'm very uncomfortable. Then an hour or two later I'm hungry again. It's an emptiness that won't go away.

Beer and tobacco 😢😪😪😪😪

For me it's cigarettes. I tell myself that I'm not addicted and that it doesn't cause cancer because we don't know what causes cancer anyway
