Anyone ever heard of the band Blue October? I normally listen to much different music than them, but they are one of my favorite bands, and have helped me through a LOT of stuff in my life. Check out Independately Happy, Breakfast After Ten, Chameleon Boy, HRSA, or their full albums. Loneliness and isolation is one of their main topics. Also check out Beck, cuz his music is so damn happy! Heeeyyyy, My Sun Eyed Girlllll.....
I'm a musician so I rely on music a lot. Also i meditate, Zen Meditation, it helps to clear the mind, concentrate, among other things. It can help face things that you otherwise cannot face or come to terms with.
I also play games to lose myself in them, or write. Write all kinds of things, mostly lyrics for me, but also freeform poetry, writing, and haiku!
