I always try and focus on the little things a have control over. I know that may be easier said than done as I also struggle with getting out of sad moods. I love my friends because I can talk to them about this or just bullshit about stuff and I feel seen and loved. sometimes that’s enough. I have also been going on walks recently even though the weather is lame. listening to the wind somehow seems to ground me. hope this helps❤️❤️

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!!

Whenever I am really sad or torn up honestly I let myself bask in it and look at sad quotes on twitter. Though, I always find going for a drive and just letting myself go and do whatever I want in my car or walks! I just love seeing the beauty of nature. Also anything tedious that is creative like hand sewing so I can focus on something else and usually my mind doesn't wander. Hope all gets better!

I’ve been having a hard time lately and I really wanted to abandon the day but instead I’m saying hello to the bus driver with pink puffy eyes I’m letting tears fall freely onto the park bench I’m staring despondently out the sandwich shop window
It’s not about romanticizing your sadness. It’s actually not about you at all. It’s about the unusually colored pigeon and the dad and son throwing a football while they walk down the street and hearing Chaka Khan’s My Love is Alive blaring from a modded 2003 Honda civic that will, even if it’s just briefly, pull you out of the cave.
Allow your feelings to interact with the world. Find reminders of what life was, is, and can be beyond and within these feelings.
Go for a walk, enjoy the taste of your salty tears, and when you’re ready, lay down in the grass until you’re itchy enough to remember there are sensations other than this dull ache. Then buy yourself an impracticality large bottle of water. Maybe go see a movie by yourself.

Being outside and list to good music makes me feel good. Enough said

I used to think the whole “ don’t talk to me before I’ve had my coffee“ thing was just another one of those white people sayings like “ live laugh love“. After drinking coffee for about a year, I understand where that comes from. If someone were to ask me to do something before I have my coffee time, I may stab them ( with insults ofc). Once I have my coffee time, all is well and I may be approached. it’s the little things you gotta appreciate in life.

I recently started going on what I like to call “coffee walks“. it’s pretty self explanatory. It’s so nice to get out and get some blood pumpin, clear my head, and get caffeinate. it’s a great way to transition into the day. It’s definitely much more pleasant with nice weather but you can really do it when you want.
