Been seeing a lot of content on Lemmy and google that has me feeling sad, y'all have any tips for distracting yourself when this happens?

I haven't found anything more effective than having an in-person support network (friends, partner, etc). No woman is an island ❤️

Oh yes, a support network. I would love to talk it out with them

All joking aside, I do have supportive friends that I talk to pretty much every day. Its just that, y'know, life loves to get in the way of things. It's either a college paper they need to write last minute, or a family gatherings, or even just a depression nap. I don't really know where I was going with this, but I guess all I am saying is that I can't always be with loved ones. You are right though, they help immensely.

Oh and about partners, i'll get back to you on that one.
