When I faced the same questions as you, I also felt as lost as I imagine you are feeling. When you don't know how to process and deal with things, I basically use two ways, or maybe three:
1) Talk to someone about it, and someone who you can talk to who listen, not just politely, but actually listen to what you say. If you don't have any friends like that, seek out a professional.
2) Relax into your body. If you are not used to this it may take some practise. There are things like body-scanning, yoga and meditation directed towards body awareness and/or breath, which leads into #3
3) Focus on your breath. Also can take some practise. Relax, feel how your breath feels, observe.
Do this on a regular basis and you will gain more intuitive skills on how to deal with yourself.
