Realizations. To be honest, I use this forum as a way to reflect the worst parts of myself. When I respond, usually a lot of it has to do where I have been or where I am now. But when I'm able to put it into the words of advice for other people, I can find special meaning in it for myself. Most of my comments actually have a stronger message for me than for the person they go out to. They make me remember the good, the bad, and the stagnancy that seems to pervade my life.
But other than that, just connecting to people and keeping moving is the best thing that I've found to help. Even if I'm doing terribly in most areas of my life, if I can find a way to do good in one, I'll feel a lot better.
