Whether it's going back to work after a long period of time off. Knowing the world or your country has gone to shit. Feeling like your life is stagnant. We all need to cope some to get it through and make it another day.

I personally eat, it's not a good way to cope since it can lead to health issues but it sometimes helps.

I also sometimes re-watch or re-listen to things over and over. Of things that make me feel a little comfortable to watch and listen to again. YouTube videos I hadn't watched in a while, songs I haven't listened to forever or maybe go another few rounds of listening to an old podcast long out of syndication.

I find depression helps. Seriously I hope I will be going to work at some point. I dunno. Fantasize.
