Hi Richard thanks for reaching out.
Coping mechanisms are different for everyone, I would say that the best way I cope is to find something I enjoy doing, to try and have that escape and that time where I'm not thinking about the struggles that I might be facing, or the pain which I'm in.
I don't want to pry, but I hope that you have a good support network? - this forum is a fantastic place to help with that and surround yourself with like minded individuals who share common interests and are able to support one another.
Please reach out if you need too.
Best wishes.
