Hi MissInvisible, it is really good that you've found some distractions helpful, and sometimes that might be what we need most just to get us "out of the moment".
It can be hard to think about or push ourselves to find distractions when things are hard though/when everything comes at us...........so do you think you could make a list of things that help to pull on if you need them?? Could be list of songs that help/that you could listen to, particular youtube videos, websites, a particular DVD, poems, games, could be that it might help you to write things down, have a bath or go for a walk...............whatever might help you. And then if something on your list doesn't work.............move down the list.........even choose a short, positive or comforting mantra to keep saying to yourself over and over if the negative thoughts are taking over.
But sometimes things can return later can't they?? Take a hold??
So maybe when you're ready you could look at different ways to help you with things e.g. if someone's hurt you then there may be reasons which make it easier to manage...........maybe it wasn't personal/they didn't know what they were doing/they were hurting themselves or had their own problems which caused it????
And perhaps there are things you can do/think which can help you move on e.g. remind yourself they aren't worth it, tell yourself they don't deserve to be hurting you like this/now, remind yourself that if that happens again you can still "walk away", tell yourself what you'll do or what you'll say to them if it happens again..........
And hey, you can always come to us if you want a bit of support!!!
