As crazy as it sounds, I use work as an escape.
I have a full-time job in IT, and I do freelance work for a variety of online sites.
Cleaning can be very therapeutic too once I get going.
I like going to our local greenhouse - even if I don’t buy anything. Just wandering around through all the different plants is nice.
Netflix and mindless TV are usually good, except I can’t watch certain things if I’m in a bad place - whether it’s too happy or too sad.
I was just mentioning to someone else here that I like Shameless on HBO. I’d watch it anyway, but I really like how they handle the issues with the couple of bipolar characters they have. They’re so matter of fact and accepting of it all - while still making sure treatment is handled - I’d love for it to be that way in our house.
