(((FeelingSad))) Has something happened to upset you more? Are you ok?

My advice to you is just trying to distract yourself by watching a TV, going to GYM, jogging, painting, singing....I don't know with whatever you can....then little by little you feel better.....
You got to control your mind and not think about whatever is making you sad and upset....and if there is not a particular thing that is lowering your mood...then if you keep yourself busy and active, you feel better....
Thanks for this!

The key is dictraction imo... exercise to wear yourself out so much that you just can't think about anything else.
If possible surrond yourself with people who will just talk about happy things..
One other thing (it didn't work that well for me) but as the saying goes "fake it till you make it"... pretend/act you are strong, happy and content.. until it actually happens

I think one of the big things is... allow yourself to feel the way you do. Feelings can't hurt you... the way you respond to them can however. Do something with that energy. Be creative if you can, whether that be cooking or writing or singing or whittling ( being silly now). Seriously though, learning to deal with those feelings is a healthy way is what I suggest. If you can't then do everything you can to distract yourself till the fire cool offs and you can. In of you can;t do that reach out until someone can help you do the above. If it helps we are here and we care and want the best and for you to be safe.

Hi FeelingSad,
You can cry it out, not by yourself, but cry in the presence of another person such as your mom, or your close friend.
Then talk it out to them, even if it doesn't make sense, you get out what's bothering you, and even though the person who listens probably won't get 100% of it, they're there to listen to you FeelingSad.
Listen to uplifting music, and sing along, and believe that one day these songs will fit perfectly to your mood. Have you heard of fireflies by Owl City?
And when you feel scared and alone, close your eyes and draw a mental image of all your loved ones walking beside you because they believe in you.
I believe you will make it through FeelingSad, hang in there.
Thanks for this!

Crying isn't a sign of weakness. It's a sign of having tried too hard to be strong for too long.
