Hey JessLynn... I am so sorry you're in such a tough place right now. I would be really frustrated if people expected me to just move on from something so hard. Post here anytime you want. Self compassion comes and goes. But you can do things to feel more compassionate towards yourself. I always refer people to Kristin Neff. Her website, her book, and her self compassion exercises on her page. http://self-compassion.org/category/...ses/#exercises I there are a lot of ways we can generally be kind to ourselves too. It also helps to know and find people who are naturally compassionate to be around.
Thanks for this!
