So, my life is a rough patch. My entire life. The best advise, from experience, I can give you is you got to figure out the "fuuucckkkk iiittttsssss" just use them wisely. Uncle Ben once said "with great power comes great responsibility." Treat the fuckits with respect. If you respect the fuckits, the fuckits will respect you.
Just about anything shitty that comes my way I dodge it. I don't let the small things get me. When it starts getting tough, fuckit. People at work suck? Fuckit? You hold all the power in your own life. You can either let it get to you and bother you and ruin day after day after day. Or you can brush it off with a little fuckit. Life is 85% horse shit. People suck. Life is unfair. Your forced to spend the majority of your existence on this rock doing stuff you really rather not do and you don't really have a choice about it. Once you really learn the meaning of that the fuckits will flow like water. Make the most of the shit. It's like the old saying "When God gives you aids, make lemonade"
I donāt know stuff the last few months has been crazy. Grandfather dying very unexpectedly, losing my friend to some other people at school, and moving to a new state in a few months. I feel out of place at school now and it really bothers me but only in the moment. So thatās where I find a positive in moving I guess, new school
I just think about how whatās going to happen is going to happen and Iāll just have to see what happens. I just canāt believe my grandfatherās gone though I mean I still have 2 great grandparents and his mom only died a few years ago at 97. So why him now
It seems like you needed to talk about it, and that is totally ok. š
I am sorry that happened to your grandpa. Losing someone hurts, but you will get through it. Stay strong! šŖš¾
As for friends, look, I am going to tell you straight facts here. Friends come and go. There are fake ones (fck them) and good ones. The good ones are the ones that stay. No matter how long you guys go without talking, when you link up, shi is still fun.
I hope things work out for you when you move. Hopefully you make some good friends in your new school. Good luck, hun! š
Either physical labor or reading a book. Whichever feels better. Sometimes thereās need for work to focus the thoughts and burn excess energy, other times itās just a rest of the mind and jump into someone else's world for a while. After either comes clarity for me.

I don't hit rough patches but I use to. I just stop intaking negative. Once I started only intaking positivity, everything that came out was positive.
Literally from the day I was born near death experiences and really bad luck have been following me everywhere I go my whole life is just been a rough patch
I don't really cope with it as much as there are things I fear far more and things that are far worse than getting hit by cars or constantly being ill or living in a place that is far being recognized as a suitable living place and the things that are worse than that? Well that fate is two steps behind me everyday just trying to catch up to me.
Basically constantly being threatened with a fate worse than death ironically is the thing that's been keeping me moving
Recluse from everyone, listen to music and go on solo trips.
Sometimes they turn into very memorable experiences.
When I was younger I was going through a depression spell, went for a drive and ended up picking up two hitchhikers from Europe traveling the world using a site called Couchsurfers or something. Was just going to give them a ride to the nearest city but ended up taking them all the way to a National Park 280miles away. Great people, had some very interesting insights about my own state and a lot of great stories, got back feeling a lot better and a really cool story.
That said, picking up hitchhikers is usually not a good idea lol.
Work out, do manual labor socialize a lot, and seek to reframe negative thoughts as they occur.
I find my job doesn't usually distract me away from things that are bothering me enough being a very cerebral kind of job that requires me to live in my own mind.
I usually want to get a vacation from my mind in those cases so I find working out very intensely or doing heavy manual labor or socializing a lot helps me to better distract myself.
I focus on myself then. At least that's what I had been doing when I went through tough times. I focused on building myself physically and mentally. Not to forget to mention that whenever I can help it, I would travel abroad or do things with friends. I also find it important to not ignore or brush aside that which I am going through. To just feel it and give it the attention it deserves. But I never let it interfere with moving on and making plans.
I don't really have one. I get ticked off and fight through it. Hit a lot of rough patches growing up. So I guess I just learned to get angry and start pushing forward.
I get high and do projects. From restoring old furniture to elec/hvac/plumbing repairs to photography and 3d modeling I find something to sink my energy into
