With all the bad stuff that’s happened in the past, all the bad stuff going on in the present, and the forecast being full of terrible stuff in the future, now’s a great time to look for new ways to get through all the bullshit. What are your weird, unconventional, or non-traditional ways for coping with things when times get tough?

CW death, general sadness

It sure as hell ain’t healthy, but playing RuneScape helped my through the deaths of a couple people who were very close to me (in my life for ~20 years, from childhood). It wasn’t a good coping mechanism to sit in front of my computer for hours but it helped me not think about the hospital room where my best friend died.
