It’s so hard to talk about mental health because it feels like no one gets how you’re feeling, and you fear they may judge, belittle, or try to fix you.

They may try to come up with solutions, whether it’s medication, therapy, life changes, more self love, etc.

Let negative thoughts go 1. Challenge them in the moment. 2. Silence your inner critic 3. Recognize triggers. 4. Break down the emotions and triggers that arise.

For some people, it’s being able to pick back up with their hobbies or listening to a breakup song without crying. 

Choose what you think is best for you, whether it’s isolating and allowing yourself to feel every moment, or whether it’s being surrounded by friends and loved ones who can help you get through every moment.

Take it minute by minute until you can take it hour by hour. And maybe at some point, you can start taking it day by day.

Detachment helps you get over someone and process the loss. Detach easily by cutting off communication, limiting fantasies and false hope, knowing your worth and incentivizing your growth.

• I exit quietly when effort declines.

• My nervous system deserves rest.
