Hacker News story: How are you managing stress?

How are you managing stress?
Obviously some of us have more stressful jobs than others normally, what methods have you found that have helped you manage that stress? Now that COVID-19 is a thing, how are you managing that stress? I'm so incredibly stressed. We share desks with another shift at work and have 4-5 feet between desks in an open office, I net about $465 a week (would be 510ish but repaying 401k loan), my 67 year old mother with immune and a myriad of other health issues lives with me, I'm supposed to be getting married in 66 days and my fiance is currently in Missouri living at her parents while finishing a teaching year while I am in Indiana and we don't even know if the courthouse here will be open when we go to get the marriage license next month now. As of writing this I'm 7 months, 27 days, 8 hours, 5 minutes sober and alcohol is my traditional stress coping mechanism which I largely replaced with strength sports but the gyms are closed by order of local government... Will I get the virus from work, will I have a job tomorrow working in international freight, will I have one in a month, will my food prep feed my mother and I long enough if we get confined to home as groceries have been void of staples since Friday evening, will I kill my immune compromised mother by bringing the virus home from work.
