Meds help me overcome the feeling. I wish something else did, but no, not for me.

I *can* distract myself by posting on here and Reddit, though. I like to let out my feelings whether people respond to my posts/threads or not. I know that some people at least read it by clicking "hug" or "thanks" on my post, and that really makes me feel better, as I know that some people don't post because they don't know what to say.

I also like to take walks and just talk to people about things I'm dealing with, or I talk about random things to distract myself.

I think the best thing you can do is find (healthy) distractions if you can't find ways to overcome the negative feelings. But if you have an awesome therapist or find useful advice on the internet that helps you work through your struggles, then definitely go for it. Can't hurt to try imo
