When I was really sick, all I did was stay in bed trying to rest. Afterwards, when I recovered, I spoke to people I trusted, called people and talked about my sadness. That relieved me. I see that going through this matter alone is worse, it's as if the mind imagines many things that in the end won't even happen. With this I mean that I got it out of my insides in some way and if I couldn't talk to anyone, I could write it down by my own hand on a piece of paper.
Open world games like Skyrim are a good way to pass the time, but there is a limit to that. I find it relaxing to play at my own pace in those games.
I forgot something, what I really lacked when I was sick was company, a hug, someone to lean on.
I hope I have helped you in some way.
Greetings, a hug, be well.
