Rec'd on 😃 How to stay happy during the holidays

i relate a lot!! take the pressure off of yourself; feel, deal, heal is my best advice. its esp more difficult depending on your family dynamics but ultimately it's just another day, wishing you the best :- )

my thoughts on the subject

first of all, such a shame this had to happen in your life. i can't even get close to imagining the pain this separation might've brought you. anyhow, the tips below might be useful for you (as they've been useful for me) :) 1. allow yourself to connect with your body while you're feeling low. the physical sensations that are contiguous to these emotions might help you identify 'em whenever they emerge. 2. allow yourself to live with such feelings/sensations while they last. letting them sit with you is easier said than done, but that's the 1st step to self soothing 3. find ways to soothe yourself while those feelings are sat within you. it's like "ok, i'm feeling (bad feeling), let me concentrate on that, let me breathe, my thoughts are prolly gonna be contaminated by it, hence why i shall not take said thoughts into account" and many other strategies that only you will be able to pull off, as you know yourself better than anyone. 4. always remind yourself that feelings, no matter how intense they might be... how ever engulfing, suffocating, enveloping they might be... are deciduous. 5. the role your friend played in your life might not be occupied as of now, and it might not be ever again... but trust the proccess. you'll grow around that shard of your life just fine. i'll sincerely wish for your wellbeing. :)

Don’t be hard on yourself

feel all you need to feel first then try to find pleasant activities that will give your brain something else to think about. therapy probably helps as well. and i hate when people say this to me but time heals all.

TIME

It's ok to griev, it's ok to be hurting and it's ok to simply not be ok. Take the time to process, allow yourself to feel what you need to feel, take the steps to better yourself and to grow, we can learn from everything we experience, the harder and more challenging the experience the more we can learn and use to live a healthier and more positive life
