i usually feel like when something bad happens there's kind of a finite amount of sadness associated with it. so i can choose to get it all out at once or try to fight it and just end up spreading it over a longer period of time, and one of those is much healthier. so put on some sad music and cry

i find that hanging out with friends helps me a lot, like the people that really make you laugh and feel good about yourself. that being said, it is totally okay to wallow in the sadness and feel it, because that is the only way it will ever pass. i would play sad music from a playlist and allow myself to cry for the duration of the playlist, then when it was over i would get up and try to do something else. this helps set a boundary while allowing you to feel the emotions and still be productive. also, find things that you love doing. for me, it was anything creative. making art that reflects how i'm feeling was a great outlet. eat good food, cry, hangout with friends, go to bookstores, cry, go to art galleries, redecorate your room, treat yourself to some new clothes, cry, do some yoga, go on an outside walk/hike, cry. and then wake-up every day and do the best that you can. it really does get better, i promise. sending hugs, you got this!!

sometimes i canβt tell the difference between sadness and depression but usually i make a gut-wrenching playlist with beautiful sad music specific to my situation and then i listen and wallow for a while LOL. but then if it continues past a few days i try to repair my sleep schedule (bound to occur), force myself to journal, leave the house, meditate, do fun things and listen to happier music, etc. cuz i know if you keep wallowing you just get Stuck
