If life is becoming hard to deal with, you might find it helpful to start writing creatively. Coming up with stories about other people could be a good way to escape from your own reality for a while. It could even be that writing about yourself in third person is an easier way to work through things than just writing down how you’re feeling.

If you really want to challenge yourself, you could write it out with pen and paper rather than typing it out on a computer!
