SOURCE: SCIENCE DAILY PSYCHOLOGY FEEDTITLE: Drinking to cope with stress may permanently rewire your brain
URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/06/260626030437.htm
Using alcohol to cope with stress when young may permanently alter the brain, making it harder to adapt to challenges and increasing the risk of returning to drinking later in life. Researchers also found signs of brain damage associated with early dementia, suggesting the effects can linger long after alcohol use has stopped.

All That I Might, a poem
Morning comes.
#accomplishment #copingMechanisms #Depression #experiment #inspiration #live #poem #Poetry #selfAware #time
Here i lie,
To myself,
About my day.
I'll get things done,
I have a plan.
To achieve,
What i may.
But I'm pretty clear,
With honesty,
I wont do
All that i plan.
Ill end my day,
Wishing hard
That i had
Taken command.
Perhaps i will
Pretend to
Go back in time
And do it right.
Start again
Right now, here,
Get up. Achieve
All that I might. -

**God is the emotional anesthesia humans use to tolerate chaos.**
When the world feels unbearable, people invent a cosmic parent to soothe the panic. It’s comfort, not cosmology.

Hi, I (Allēna) am back in front and low-key panicking…
I know that the people who know me will probably be like “what else is new” but I’ve honestly been so hung up on the fact that it’s been ten years since Xavier died this month that I forgot that all of the albums that I wrote and recorded in the wake of losing him will also be turning 10 as well until I saw a video of my Painter Guy headmate playing my arrangement of “Heroes” by David Bowie on a piano he found in the hospital we go to??? So that’s kinda fucking me up.
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUvyJXxl9de/?igsh=MWFlYTdtcTY4MnJkZQ==
I honestly didn’t think I would live this long. I know a lot of people when I was 18-19 certainly didn’t think I would live this long (I was a hot fuckin mess and it took me years to get out of that tailspin) so while I’m none too happy about having to figure out how to promote a metric fuckton of albums on what is soon to be the ten year anniversary of their release, I am also trying to be compassionate toward tiny grieving past Lēna and keep in mind that I didn’t have a blessed clue that I would live to see 28-29, my depression was so goddamn bad and I was constantly trying to blot myself off the face of the Earth and writing albums instead of doing worse dumb shit. As badly as I want to go back and kick Past Lēna and to some extent, Past Eight in the ‘nads for writing and recording music like they were running out of time in 2016-17, they really didn’t know what the fuck else to do and had just lost Xavier. So I can’t really be all that angry. That being said, a bitch is fucking tired and I don’t have anything close to a promotion strategy for any of this shit. I don’t even have regular access to a piano anymore.
So yeah. There is all of that to contend with.
Wish me mother fucking luck.

Panmodal Aphantasia is not a shield. It is a structural vulnerability that guarantees a divergent form of suffering.
It defies the purpose of a coping mechanism because it amplifies pressure.
It defies the purpose of a defense mechanism because it enforces exposure.
To call #aphantasia an advantage is to mistake the inability to scream for the absence of pain. https://open.substack.com/pub/cristinagherghel/p/the-failed-kiss?r=6bmg7x&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false#MentalHealthResearch #SomaticTherapy #CopingMechanisms -

CW: Mental Health, Codependency, Gaslighting
After doing the work in #therapy to recognize #codependence, #anxiety, #depression, and bad #copingmechanisms, is anyone else out there #triggered just by being around folks who haven’t done the work?
Just got so frustrated with my over bearing, codependent mother-in-law for not listening to my husband and I and she had the nerve to tell me I needed to calm down. The #gaslighting will not be tolerated. No ma’am.

CW: Mental health, autism, anxiety
Few hours later, with watch that's almost the same (just "coral reef" colour instead of "coal black" or whatever they are called), and my mind is actually much calmer. So much so that I felt happy about reading a really cool manga and enjoyed it.
It's so weird to "suddenly" have much clearer mind.
And yes - I feel really silly about that. Also because in the middle of the day I discovered that using my hairband on my forearm to "simulate" the feeling of a watch actually helped in significant way (not completely, sadly).

The most challenging part is the intense sadness that overwhelms me! It's like a searing, burning pain in the center of my chest, spreading outwards and making it hard to concentrate on anything else. #MentalHealth #EmotionalPain #CopingMechanisms #HealingJourney

Many should try to stay away from their traumas but also learn how to deal with them through situational conditioning and be able to focus the upset without spiraling and be able to direct it in a healthy way
Coping mechanisms help every party except the abuser
If someone is purposely hurting you can focus that right back at them

CW: Self image and worth: childhood trauma and coping as an adult.
5/5
So, I guess how I cope is by teaching my son to not be like those men, including his grandfather.
I cope by withdrawing. I date so rarely now that I don’t even know if I remember how to do it.
I cope by telling my story to whoever will listen in the hope that it helps them see what that kind of behaviour does to young women and girls.
All I’ve ever wanted, even at 13, is to be loved and to have someone want to spend time with me. When the only way you feel you can get that is through using your body, it leads to a lot of very unhealthy ideas around self image and self worth.
Try to be kind to yourself and others, and see the whole person. Because all of you deserves to be loved, not just your body, and that goes for every person of the planet.
