I believe my illness sends me a depressive drop so I have an excuse to retreat. It isn't a successful strategy but my mind seems to think so. I would prefer gobs of morphine-based substances but I'm not crazy enough to pursue those sorts of sideshows. I wind up tolerating the discomfort in solitary so to speak and find myself sleeping as much as I can until the cycle passes.

Usually my first go to is to sit down & analyze what I can do to make it less tough. Then talk it over with my supportive friends for other ideas.
Then I distance & do things to distract myself & let my subconscious mind process the thoughts & ideas. Horse back riding or just working around my farm or cleaning the house or painting or playing with my animals are distractions that definitely help. __________________  Leo's favorite place was in the passenger seat of my truck.

It depends on how tough. Moderately tough...hopefully it happens when I have some money to spend. I go shopping; see people out and about and get some walking in (while I shop)...buy something nice. I remember to take good, even breaths. I take extra medication. I eat chocolate. Drink espresso. Used to lie in bed and read, but I haven't found a book worth reading in a long time.

When times are rough I spend it with my daughter and partner. Both will help lighten my mood. Make a big pot of tea - not coffee because its caffeine can worsen anxiety. Watch the fire lit with logs, roast chestnuts in a pan over logs, making sure the nut skins are slit first. And do repeats of my breathing exercises. That always helps lighten the mood.

I shut off the phone and potter about in the greenhouse.
