1. Share your story with someone. Often it helps to put the sadness into words.

2. Try to detach and unplug for a while.

3. Respect your need for space, and a period of low stress.

4. Allow yourself to feel all the negative feelings.

5. Take care of your body and your physical needs.

6. Treat yourself with kindness, and invest in self care.

1. Instead of attacking yourself for how you feel, and demanding that you change, and “improve” who you are, be compassionate and caring and kind towards yourself.

2. Remind yourself this struggle is NOT something you chose. It’s something that’s unwanted, and is hard to fight against.

3. Don’t look to other people to help, and bolster, you. They also have their struggles, so their help is limited.

4. Our feelings are affected by a lot of different things – and that affects our thinking – so our thinking’s often wrong!

5. Feelings often hit us for no apparent reason – so if we’ll just be patient, we may find they’ll change again.

6. Remember you are loveable and truly valuable. Don’t listen to your feelings, and the lies you hear them speak.
