Hello there
I get what you mean. In the end, no one can truly help us if we do not help ourselves, so all there is left to do is hold on.
And yeah, writing about my feeling does help, and I too do what you do and build up stories where one character goes through the things I do and find closure. It's a way I unwind I guess, and I'm glad you do too! I'll be surly checking out your story!
Thanks for leaving such a wonderful comment. Hope you have a good day! ^_^
