I listen to music, read about revolutionary movements, daydream about alternate timelines where the world is a utopia, play video games where I feel like I have power, and in control of stuff (like, for example, idk… fighting monsters and other evil things in open world games), sometimes write poetry (but I never share any of them lol, they just stay in Standard Notes).
Basically: escapism.
Most days, drugs of some kind. I go for walks every Sunday with my camera though and take photos and spend the week editing them too. I also try to take short trips too. It’s pretty cheap if you sleep in your car and just explore the town looking for photos to take.
Things are looking really bad, but I try not to let it hold me back. I’ve already spent a good chunk of my life paralyzed by anxiety, so I’ve learned to push past it.
