new coping strategy...short story idea?

hi everyone

im wondering if anyone else writes like short stories to help cope with their mental illnesses?

i need some ideas to start me off, i have no idea what to write about but i thought id give this coping strategy ago as i havent had much success with much else

anyone have any ideas on where to start?

i thought about maybe writing an autobiography but alot of things that would be in there are very triggering so i dont really want to start there. im already journalling day by day 🙂
