I know exactly how you feel. I second the notion to keep yourself distracted, zombied, or alone... I don't know how to cope otherwise, myself. :/

Video games are my first go-to when I feel like that, as well!! It keeps your brain occupied, but also (depending on the game you play) it increases your motor coordination & your reflexes! FPS games are notoriously helpful for that, but also stuff like Guitar Hero. : )
