What do you do to cope when things are too heavy?

[Rainork]

Honestly, I'm just interested to know.
For me, a have a multitute of coping methods that I use and it will often depend on how bad I am.
My most common go-to is playing piano (in a really bad depression stage I would just sit and play the same song on repeat so I wasn't sat in bed crying- kinda feel sorry for my roommate at the time), I will also journal to try and work through things I'm feeling.
When I'm functioning a bit better; i will go for long walks, paint and write music.
And, in my less healthy days, I get drunk so I can feel 'something' (:

What are some of the things that help you cope when the weight of the world is crushingly heavy?

Honestly? I just sleep.

I'm not sure if it's a coping mechanism, I use it as more of a temporary shutdown, it works well enough.

Smoke weed and binge eat junk food I think are the main two for me.

I feel this to be fair, I slept for nearly 24 hours straight last week because when I woke up, I concluded I'd rather not be and went back to sleep again.

I'm sorry to both of you that this is your way of coping- I also do the same but was trying to keep my post a lil more positive I guess.
I hope you can find other ways to deal with the shit of this world

I stare at walls or something. Feed myself stupid stories about own apotheosis. Pretend I don't care about things. No normal helpful copes you could use unfortunately

Pretty much nothing. Try to think of other things.

I just push it down and then sleep or play videogames
