I replace it with getting fucked up on endorphins from sport and exercise. Which is probably just a healthier way of still not having your head straight, so maybe I don't know how to handle it at all.
Different sport for different kicks. A bit of stimulating adrenaline with the rock climbing or motorsports. A bit of the tunnel vision endorphin overload with footy. A bit of the relaxing (don't ask me why) flush with calisthenics. A grounding feeling with hiking.....with an extra kick when it's -20C outside.
And then swimming in the lake just feels so daaaaamn goood.
If I wasn't athletically-inclined, I reckon I'd have hit a serious rock bottom years ago and may have not even made it this far.
Yeah, some sort of exercise is so important for recovery imo.
