How do you cope up with sadness?

I bought a giant stuffed shark from Ikea and I know it sounds really not that useful cuz it’s not some revolutionary technique but when I’m sad I just cry and hug it and I swear it has made me feel so much ridiculously better than if I didn’t have it and my crying sessions are quarter the length of time. It’s just nice to have something to squeeze the emotions out and then when you let go, it feels cathartic.

Also it’s super soft 🙂 its name is Bubbles
