Ok... I might have a problem. I think my self care is making worbla swords/daggers.
These are the reasons why... (just pictures of them tbh)
Sad... you build your comfort OC's rapier.
Feeling lost, you build giant sewing needle sword.
Feeling angry, you build your Lady Knight OC's infamous dagger.
Feeling grief, you build a memorial dagger and fill it with symbolism for those you've lost.
It's not the same as actually forging like you would as a blacksmith/swordmaker... but I guess it's enough of a forging process that it helps calm me. So if you ever needed a sign to go forth, and like forge your sword; this is it.
GO FORTH AND MAKE WORBLA SWORDS. (Or whatever prop weapon makes your brain happy)
