How do sane people cope with stress, frustration, lonelynes and shame? I haven't found a non-destructive outlet for those emotions. I usually eat or pick my skin. Help me

Weekend drinking
Sex with spuse/partner
Driving like an asshole with the car full of your spawn
Home repairs, slapping stuff with a hammer is very therapeutic

Exercising, hobbies, food, recreational activities.

Drinking seems pretty destructive, so dismissed.
Sex with spouse is a great idea, but the reason i'm so lonely is that he's in military, so this one is impossible too.
Not going to risk my kids life. Dropped.
I built up a lot of ikea furniture lately. It's pretty addictive. But now my home is full and my budget is used up. I might have to look into building something myself. Good suggestion! Thanks

You ARE going to cheat on him. That sounds like the outlet you're looking for.

In my teens I got fucked up a lot, made risky choices, and fought. In my twenties I threw myself into grad school, but when the stress got to be too much I'd go to bars and brawl. Eventually I started playing music, drinking less, and by 30 I'd stopped with the fighting. These days I just spend time with my wife, my friends, run, lift, and play music.

Don't eat that candy, it's shit.
I'm pretty drunk right now. I went from being a non drinker to doing this like once a month...Not going to lie, I'm not happy...but can definitely go back to not drinking ever once life gets a bit more better.

Where do you live where they let you do this? I hit a guy at a bar once because he was talking shit. He just stood there dumbfounded though and the bouncers kicked me out.
