What is it that you do when you are stressed in order to keep your head on straight?

I adult color. It sounds crazy but it is very relaxing. I have over 500 jell pens!!

I watch Science related videos on Youtube. Or I may even watch someone else play video games on Twitch. Pertaining to the latter, folks always ask "How can you sit there and watch someone else play? Wouldn't you rather play it yourself?" There's a certain amount of stress involved even in playing video games, so my way of enjoying my form of entertainment, while also decompressing, is watching others play the games I like.

I put on the music and weave... chainmail armor and jewelry. The patience required (and time) along with having to focus precisely on the details helps me forget about everything else.
Being 100% disabled from a broken neck and back (along with the other spinal cord problems), the constant visualization of that day I was crushed, the thoughts about "If I only..." or "Had the driver only turned off the truck...", "Why did it happen to me?"... weaving jewelry or armor takes so much focus that I forget about these things... until I can no longer sit upright to continue... then it's laying down in bed... listening to music.
