Activities to cope
There are many ways to cope with pyromania.
A few activities one can try that are relatively harmless are:
- watching fireworks
Be it watching videos, or watching them at any events near you
- watching chimney fires
There is always, if you have it, a channel on tv just for a chimney fire, there are plenty videos on YouTube for just that, and if you have one yourself that's even better. Of course this can extend to bonfires and campfires as well.
- watching candle flames
Safely lighting candles in your own home is a very easy accessable activity. Tea lights and other candles are pretty inexpensive and easy to find at dollar stores along with lighters and matches. I recommend scentless candles.
- watching flame art
There are many videos on YouTube around artists who involve fire in their craft, from flame eaters to charcoal artists or match artists and more.
- burn paper scraps or old homework
Safely burning small bits of paper or papers that no longer surve a purpose to you like years old assignments, preferably doing so over an ash trey or better yet in your backyard, and watching the flames eat away at the paper can be fine.
- igniting a lighter
I mentioned this one in a few previous posts and it's one I do frequently myself, turning on a lighter and watching the flame it creates. Be careful not to ignite it around anything flammable and if you try touching the flame do not let your fingers linger on it long, a short motion over or through the flame is relatively harmless. Though the slower you are and the more you linger a surface burn on that spot will show up. So be very careful.
- watching fire on the news
There are (sadly) always reports of house fires and forest fires, you can always turn on the news and see if there's a report that day or search for old recordings of such online.
- the gas stove.
This one only works if you have a gas stove, and it's one I urge you to have a lot of caution with. But turning on the gas stove and watching the blue flames on the burner can be alright. In fact you can cook something with it like popcorn or eggs if you feel like it. snack bonus!
- hot coals
Hot rocks, hot packs or anything that heats up if you don't have access to hot coals can be fine. While none of it is actually fire, you do get to feel the heat and warmth of something and for some this can be an okay fix even if temporary. Please be very careful with what you put in the microwave or leave out in the sun.
Are there any activities you do? Do you have a favorite?
What other ways do you cope?

can i request a minty with some brain damage positivity?
Everyone’s brain works in its own unique way, and that’s completely okay. Just because someone thinks, feels, or learns differently doesn’t mean they’re any less special or capable. In fact, those differences are part of what make each of us amazing in our own way! 💖
