What's your escape?

[DusK 1,264]

I use video games. Whichever I play is dependent on whatever mood I'm in at the time. When you're in another world, it's easy to forget about your problems in this one.

[Lucky Bolt 35,063]

Driving empty back roads....alone. Whenever I’m feeling stressed, sad, angry...etc, I take my truck out and just drive. No destination in mind. Just roll the windows down, put on some music I like, and its like I literally escape all my problems for a while.

Yeah...my truck is the only one who has seen me cry.

My escape is these forums and making music. Whenever I feel sad, angry, or anxious, I'll be writing lyrics and browsing the forums.

[Early Sunsets 2,106]

That depends on what I'm trying to escape from. Sometimes I'll lie in bed with the lights off and think about whatever comes to mind, and other times I'll just listen to music and try not to think at all. Either works, it just depends on how I'm feeling at the time.

My primary escape is sleep. I love sleep. I can sleep for more than 12 hours if I really want to, just because of how relaxing it is. It's so nice to be able to take a break from real life.

I don't dream, either. I just sleep.

[Floppy Snow 279]

It has always been books and video games for me.

Listening to music is my antidrug

[A Small Bear 60]

Meditating, listening to music, reading, deep breathing exercises, smoking weed

Those last two tend to conflict

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,444]

Several things but how well they help me escape depends on my mental state.

Video games, music, watching videos, food, walking when the weather isn't hot and humid, looking forward to something, stuff like that.

I wish Indiana would get on the ball with this. I really think this would actually help me a lot.

Mostly music for me. I know no one really cares what my music taste is and what I listen to but it doesn't stop me from doing that very thing.

[Splashee 28,563]

I almost always go on long walks, because it brings a lot of oxygen into my brain, helps me come up with solutions to many problems. It is a great escape from everything, and it pays off.

I wish the whole country would get on the ball with it. Policy isn't determined by popular demand though.

My escape is travel, driving at night or creating art. If I’m really in bad shape and need something that will rescue me from the depths of hopeless despair, I turn to ballet. It has the ability to change life into something pure and perfect.  

[ZiggWheelsManning 10,245]

Video games on Steam and YouTube.  Being I don't tend to travel energy  

[EpicEnergy 23,218]

I go to video games to escape reality. If they don't help or I need something else to do, then I'll listen music while browsing the internet.

[Splashee 28,563]

Reminder to self: I need a new escape

[Tao 7,733]

I have a few ways:

• Camping
• Hiking
• Books
• Video Games
• Reading
• Writing
• Walking
• Day Dreaming

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,161]

It's either talking to people I care about, or else it can be classical music.

[ZiggWheelsManning 10,245]

The usual amount of Star Wars gaming and being on MLP Forums  

[Starlighty 948]

My escape is either video games, movies/tv shows  or doing the dishes/cleaning while listening to music. 

[BritishBrony2012 805]

Video games, music, anime, fictional characters, movies, comedies, series, Star Wars, sleeping, my cats, internet/youtube, reading, writing.

[Xada 371]

Video games mostly, with roleplaying. I also draw ponies on occasion.

[Snoopy Fan 225]

My escapes are video games, YouTube, and these forums.

[Blizzard Wizard 4,961]

When I was a kid my escape were books and daydreaming. Years ago MLP and this forum become my escape.

But thinking now I'm finding nothing. Instead of escaping I'm seeking support of friends and digital detox.

Evening with book, vinyl music and tea without the internet is the best so far.
