Past couple weeks have been too much for me to handle, I’m not super okay, and I need something to get my mind off of some stuff. What you got?

(yes yes, therapy. It expensive. What you got?)

    Mine would probably be interesting activities on the computer (gaming for instance).

    But when it comes to bad feels strong enough I cannot escape through gaming, then I talk or write about said feels.

      Something genuinely useful I’ve found in this respect, that you sometimes see folks recommend, is writing one’s situation out, their feelings, some mix of all of that, in a throwaway form. So, open a notepad file on a computer, hammer out some lines, thoughtfully, incoherently, for however long and let it sit for a moment or two; review it if you want but ultimately don’t save it, close the window/file, and maybe it will have helped a little.

      It may help even more if it’s some pages from a physical notepad or something to write them out by hand and crumple or tear them up to toss out if one’s feelings are more angry or upset.
