Maybe easier said than done but if you haven't tried it before give it a shot and you may thank yourself later :)

I like to bake, because then you can eat your sadness when you're done.

...or, I suppose, gift them to someone else, because that feels good.

I’ve considered doing this to tame my mind. I’m gonna do it tomorrow

I second this! I find cooking soothing and meditative.

I'd concur. I used to bake when I got upset and always found that soothing.

So glad someone else does this! I use this one all the time. I start by envisioning the grocery store trip for the ingredients and by the time I’m cooking the meal in my mind I’m usually calm and can sleep.
