when i‘m in those holes i usually find that i need to just ride it out, but to make riding it out more tolerable— i try do the little things that make me happy that i usually don’t do often. eat an ice cream cone, read in the bath for two hours, buy a new perfume, write a letter to a pal, be tender with yourself. it’s easy to stay down when you feel like you should be getting over it, so try not to pressure yourself. let it happen the way it’s going to happen and remember that life is good and then sometimes it’s bad and then it gets good again. take joy where you can get it, and don’t be afraid to tell the people that love you that you might need a little extra love for a while. good luck, buddy. ❤️
