Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Writing exactly how I feel and what I think helped me a lot when I went through sentimental hardships. Find whatever style suits you, I usually do "rambling" style prose but some people like to write poetry and songs or well-worded essays. Whatever you find the least uncomfortable (it's going to feel uncomfortable but it's worth it).
When you're done with your writing session and have no ideas left you go back to whatever you were doing, and if you find yourself ruminating about it again you start writing asap. The goal is to never lose yourself in your thoughts because your thoughts can echo endlessly in your mind while on paper everything that you already wrote is not worth repeating
