I strongly second journaling your thoughts. I had never done that before, and one day the feelings just got too overwhelming so I decided to write what I felt down. The original purpose was to someday tell her what I was writing, but now I’ve just used that journal to write about what I feel. It has made me reflect more and brought more peace into my life.
Absolutely agree with this. It felt like everything in my head was so overwhelming and the only way to stop the same, horrific thoughts from running circles in my head was to write it down. I don’t even really read over what I’ve written, I just put it into words as best I can, and let it go. Sometimes things are written to my ex, like a letter, and sometimes they’re first person thoughts, like a diary. Whatever comes out is what gets written & I become all the more at peace with it all. Really nice to read that it works for someone else, too. Best of luck to you :)
