If you are unable to share certain thoughts or feelings with any other human in any meaningful way, how can a person manage this in a healthy way?

Both psychologically sound and proven methods as well as personal anecdotes are welcome.

Please assume sharing is non-negotiable which precludes close friends, family, and/or professionals.

I personally feel like it can't be done in a healthy way. It'll probably be manageable, but I personally think humans are so social that "healthy" is only possible if one is able to share their experience.

    Yes I was quite afraid, or maybe just somewhat prepared, that a healthy solution is not possible.

    I guess I should note that a minimization of pain is better than nothing. So I’ll take any ideas that are healthy-adjacent at least.

    Understandable :) I guess the closest would be to read/listen to experiences of other people feeling/experiencing the same thing as you, which certainly do exist.
