I can tell you what not to do, from experience. Don't become a functional alcoholic, and don't start sticking your dick in crazy. And oh, is crazy gonna be all over you. They can smell your vulnerability, and it excites them thinking of all the shit they'll put you through that they know you'll take in your fragile state.
I didn't have it at the time, but I've found church helpful dealing with stressors later in life. Funnily enough I remember walking past a church after my father died and thinking to myself "I never believed in it before, why start now?" But eventually life brought me even lower and I found great comfort in going to mass every Sunday.
Regular exercise also helped. Join a place with some community, like a martial arts school. Something with regular classes and a regular roster.
