I say this jokingly, but at the same time, finding something requiring physical exertion that you can be passionate about can really help to wash away a lot of problems. Like I said, it's hard to think about emotions when you're in fight or flight mode and your choices are sack up or get crushed.

i like what mighty mo has said here; and thou i hadn't thought of his approach beforehand, i had thoughts of my own response...

being MUCH older than you, lad, and having been thru the "rapids" with even more turbulence w/marriage/divorce/chillrens...i can easily, sadly recall being in my 20's yout...

i was "lucky" to have born in the era of the best music of all time: the mid 60's to the late 80's...i thought of this immediately when i read of your sorrow...

long (songs) story short...we had songs back then that could help us grieve to/hold out hope for/and feel like we were kindred spirits listening to songs that had listenable heart-felt lyrics, melodies, choruses that had strings that tug at one's heart and honor an melancholy, sentimental, sensitive persona that enabled me to put my sorrow into poem/lyric perspective...

it awoken my creative ability and helped to encapsulate both the sorrow and the chance to say: i can do poetry...
