1. Laugh at yourself.
Really let yourself have it. You probably have some self depricating jokes that are itching to be freed upon the world. Just really let loose. if you cry, cry. Don’t worry about it.
2. Let off some steam by cleaning your space.

Is there any change you can make in your life to add more nice social interactions that can happen on the regular? Perhaps a change that would create distance from the negative ones? Can you move things around in your life so that you get rewarded on a regular basis and still move towards your goals? Often when our environment is better, reaching our goals comes a lot more naturally.
