I listen to music, read about revolutionary movements, daydream about alternate timelines where the world is a utopia, play video games where I feel like I have power, and in control of stuff (like, for example, idk… fighting monsters and other evil things in open world games), sometimes write poetry (but I never share any of them lol, they just stay in Standard Notes).
Basically: escapism.
I ride my bicycle. The cyclical nature of the movement is meditative, and I have the freedom to ride as long as it takes to get my headspace cleared up.
Maladaptive daydreaming and substance abuse
Most days, drugs of some kind. I go for walks every Sunday with my camera though and take photos and spend the week editing them too. I also try to take short trips too. It’s pretty cheap if you sleep in your car and just explore the town looking for photos to take.
Things are looking really bad, but I try not to let it hold me back. I’ve already spent a good chunk of my life paralyzed by anxiety, so I’ve learned to push past it.
Running 30 minute intervals is great for dealing with a variety of negative emotions. Plus you can lose weight, sleep better, have a more attractive face, manage stress better, have better orgasms, get more smiles from the opposite sex, all from f***ing RUNNING!

Lots of physical training and also escapism. I guess training is also a form of escapism in a way too.
The company of friends, which includes my dogs and cats. Other people, of any species, are comforting and provide something else to focus on.
I also do a lot of reading these days.
Bad memory. It’s built-in and non-optional.
I tell myself everyday is a gift and that working for either a better future for Myself or future generations.
Thinking about God’s judgement. 🤷
