@mmKay thanks for all the ideas, especially the one about the creative outlet I haven't really looked into to find one of those before. You talked a little about emotional needs and I was wondering what techniques (if any) there are for developing emotionally and mentally? Those are 2 areas in my life I most want to improve and I haven't found any practical ways to do that other than CBT and waiting for emotional challenging events to take place and then in the moment work on how I respond to them.
