How to stop being sad?

[LostandFound__x]

I had a very traumatising experience at work.

I got over it for a little while but I had to go back in yesterday to hand everything back in.

Since then I’ve been sad again.

The experience really affected my confidence.

I wish I knew how to stop feeling sad about it.

It’s ok to feel sad. Sometimes you need to feel sad in order to move on. So I say feel sad but don’t let it be who you are. Dwelling in the sadness is bad. In your sadness work out what it is that you need to overcome that feeling. Think about what would make you feel better.
Always remember that without the sadness you can’t feel happy.

Find a way to distract yourself. I like to watch cooking competitions or scary movies for example. Some classical songs can ease your mind a little too.

Do what makes you happy and you won't be sad anymore, maybe what happened is for your own good, we all get sad first because we are leaving something that we got used to but later you will find yourself in a better new place which will make you happier than the way you were 😌

You may need a new job, perhaps see a therapist if it’s really serious! Other than that just take care of yourself and treat yourself like a queen and hopefully it’ll pass again

In your case, try to look for a new place of work if it involves a co worker or someone you see at work everyday.




Other than that, doing things you like doing. That’ll get your mind off what happened

Exercise, sunlight, fresh air, socializing. It works for 99% of sad people. The others just have major chemical imbalance that need medicating.

don't automatically take it personally. I do a lot of dumb shit that I don't take personally because I know it doesn't matter. what matters is having confidence you'll get it right the next time

You got over it before so you know it is possible for you do do it again. It is a matter of wanting it.

I hope you are feeling better? Have a wonderful day/ night… if there is anything I can do please let me know. If you want to talk or just let it all out, I am here for you….

Did you find a new job yet? The novelty and new people will take your mind off the sadness.

[MrGSpotHer]

I don't really do it I just reset my brain and carry on
