Hi invisable,

Is your question about coping - with PN, pain, stress...? If so, there are a ton of good articles and ideas out there in googleland. Many/most have to do with distracting ourselves from the bad, and trying to focus on/do something that creates/brings us joy/peace. Helping others is a good one. So is communing with a pet/nature (as have been mentioned). Many people do it by way of a creative outlet - writing, music, arts/crafts, hobbies/interests.

Rather than focusing on what we cannot control, it helps to focus on those things we can control.
