Music. Meditation. Playing games. But doing that is temporary.

Meditating helps me a bunch! It gets easier the more you practice and you can teach your brain to go into a meditative state which sounds amazing for my persistent thiughts

I’ve started with witchcraft and honestly, it’s basically just spicy psychology lol. It helps me to take a look at everything and give me ways of coping that mean a lot to me

Go to the gym, get out of my room. Socialize, have plenty of water, do things I enjoy (watch anime, play video games, draw, read webtoon)

Drawing, I used to do art therapy a lot and found it really helped. Of course, drawing was already a hobby for me beforehand, I just turned it into a coping skill to help get my mind off things
