Answer

usually i'll just lay down and try to calm myself down. sometimes i'll just watch youtube to take my mind off of things or just play a relaxing game or listen to music. like from time to time i'll play gta if i feel frustrated so i can just drive around the city and clear my thoughts (since i can't drive irl lol). sometimes i watch vargskelethor's windows xp full stream if it's gotten really bad. if i'm not at home or don't have access to the internet/my laptop though it's a lot more trickier.
