Consume art. It helps a lot to read/watch/hear some content that is similar to your experience and resonates with you. Helps to know that you’re not alone and others have experienced/reflected/studied these experiences before. Reading philosophy helps me as well. Might not talk exactly about my situation, but gives the tools and processes to help me think through my issues.

You would think that in this age of instant, free, accessible communication; finding someone to share with would not be difficult. But somehow people care about each other’s problems less than ever. I’ve never found any Lemmy social group that connects people.
