I feel sad, what would you suggest I do?
I would suggest that you let yourself be sad for a while. Feel it, acknowledge it, analyse it if you can, accept that it is what it is, and that there’s nothing wrong with feeling it, then try to let it go.
There’s no such thing as bad emotion Darling, only bad reactions.
Brushing it aside can cause you damage in the long run, emotionally stunting you and leaving you easily overwhelmed at the smallest thing. Bottling it up can make it fester inside you, building and building until you blow in a way that’s so much worse than it ever had to be.
Again this can leave you feeling overwhelmed, as your mind now associates the big bad reaction with the original emotion, thus meaning that bottling it up makes you blow a lot faster than before, your ability to cope growing less and less stable as time goes by.
Letting it drive you without restraint is incredibly damaging to yourself and those around you, and by the time you figure out that it needs to change (If you do) it’s already become this big bad monster that your brain has been wired to feed, rather than to control and utilise.
There’s lot’s of ways to turn emotions toxic, sadness included. So let yourself feel it Darling, allow yourself to wallow a little and understand, just don’t let it take over everything if you can help it. And if you can’t get back up by yourself, then it’s always ok to ask for help from someone else.
I would suggest that you find little, simple things to bring yourself joy. Things that don’t require too much brain power. Sometimes that can help you process what you’re feeling, without letting yourself be swamped by it.
I wish you luck Darling, and I hope you feel much better soon.
Have a lovely day/night Darling one 🖤
