For me, after losing so many people in a very short time, losing myself in a quilt project actually became my therapy. I cried along with many stitches. Then quilting took me to a "happy place" til the tears stopped. Quilting can be more than putting pcs. of fabric together. It also helped me sleep since I'd force my mind to think about my project & where I was in the process instead of the sadness.
Don't know if this is the kind of thing you're looking for but it worked for me.
Congrats on finishing school. Been there. Took me 5 yrs. to become a 2 yr. RN having to begin by taking one class at a time. Thankfully I had a very supportive husb.
