Last week was having a really rough week. My mental health was declining so bad, lots of suicidal thoughts, only got around 2 hours total sleep over several days. Used a mental health day off work to catch up on sleep. It's kind of silly but I found a thing that keeps me distracted enough to push through and makes me happy, if temporarily. I learned about Picky Pads and ordered some off Etsy. I have a minor skin picking issue but I mostly bought it because the pads looked so cute and needed something to distract myself. I can spend around 8 hours or more on just one pad. Don't know if it will help anyone else but just thought I'd share. I get so focused on picking at my picky pad that existential dread is kept at bay at least in the moment.

Rare moments when I'm enjoying someone's company, yeah mostly these moments that my mind let go of suicidal thoughts
In minor importance, when I play a game I really like, but the last time I've felt this was when Resident Evil 4 Remake launched, more than a year ago, so...

I sometimes cope with video games too, though I'm not a huge video gamer. The only kinds of games I can really get into are pokemon and Stardew Valley. But even then sometimes anhedonia gets in the way of me getting much joy from playing video games.
