Writing helps me a lot, when I do it consistently. I mean, any form of communication, really, is helpful. When I can communicate, I am OK.
And not only that, but I had to find a specific format that works for me. Writing in my journal, to myself, doesn't help one bit. I need an audience, so I blog anonymously and post about it on Facebook to get some response from those who care to read.
Lately, I've been writing in letter format to an anonymous friend, inspired by The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and I'm finding it's giving me more space to express myself than writing to no one in particular. It's also allowing me to be more indirect with my feelings, which makes them way easier to express.
And music too. Playing music, singing, listening to it with others can do wonders for me sometimes.
