I'm having a low mood kind of day and sort of want to talk about it, but I don't know how and who to even talk to about it

Would writing it down help? I often find it's useful to process feelings with a pen and pad of paper by just writing down lots of stuff about them. Sometimes this is prior to talking to someone about it and just helps clarify, but often it's enough on its own.

Thank you, that's actually a really good idea! I don't always want to burden friends/family with it when I know everyone is having bad days at the moment, but writing it down could be useful.

For what it's worth, I find that often people mind being "burdened" with your problems way less than you'd expect - being complained at feels like hard work, but talking through someone's problem's with them is often less so, and is a positive part of the relationship.

Also frankly it's sometimes really nice to have problems to think about that you've got a bit of emotional distance from.

This is very true! I like helping my friends when they have a problem/need advice, so I'm not sure why I see it differently when it comes to sharing my own stuff.
