First thing that helped me was realizing that this is, in fact, a stressful and sad time in my life. I had to come to grips with all the feelings i felt first and then look for positive, healthy ways to combat them.
Work in an exercise routine (probably the best contributor to my mental health), plan things that you can look forward to (makes all the work you do worth it), smoke a bit of that herb (we all got our vices), but most importantly, learn to appreciate the little things. Try and find a peaceful moment of clarity each day. Continue to put things into perspective and remember to count your blessings regularly. IMO, life can always be worse. As a wise man once told me,
This is 100% great advice. Enjoy your vices (in moderation of course), exercise and realize life is short, enjoy the hell out of it.
