I've never been a person to read through other people's experiences of an event to help gain clarity into mine but I started to now. I've been reading other people's experiences and expertise. I've listened to other people's experiences and feelings going through similar things.
I found it helpful. It's comforting to know that there are others who have gone through what I have. Their experiences, advice, jokes... it helps me push through all of this. I know what I write doesn't make sense but it's the best feeling in the world when I wake up in the mornings with awful dreams and thoughts and think about a story or an event or an experience someone shared with me.. it makes me smile. i can tell myself, it's a new day. What's done is done, live in the present, and look to the future.
I know it sounds cheesy and corny when I say it and it's a lot harder than it sounds but I keep repeating it or repeating some other cheesy corny line.. and soon, i'm laughing at the stupidity of it all and I'm in a better mood. *sigh*
