What do you do when stressed?

[jalapeno_pretzel]

I'm not talking about the traffic is so bad stress, or work is extra busy stress. Like overwhelming stress over potentially life changing situation?

I know some that are still able to eat. For me, my appetite completely shuts down and I really almost can't eat.

What do you do to stay sane when all you can do is wait for answers?

Generally I shut down like that too, sorry this is happening right now.
For food I have a microwaved potato or a scrambled egg, to prevent stomach damage there have been times that is all I have had 3 times a day. It is soft and bland and enough to prevent the serious pain that comes from not eating, force yourself because the pain makes it so much worse.

I go to Mass every day, support meetings work too, maybe there is some kind of support for the stressor?

I listen to Harry Potter audio books over and over in my car, audible has them and the story soothes me.
I watch these guys

For TV I aim at the most pointless nonsense I can find
