When you feel a bit overwhelmed by what life has to offer sometimes, it is good to go after healthy escape-mechanisms like writing, outings, book reading, networking etc. Someone once said......being less dependent on others and never loosing self respect can help handling life in a better way.

For instance, try visiting a place(alone)......you haven't been before. A place that has things to enjoy, like a park, museum, art gallery etc. Ask questions to the guide who might know a lot of information, but has no one to share the knowledge. Thus you both will enjoy the time. Be sure to go with a map and a fully charged mobile! :)
