feel all you need to feel first then try to find pleasant activities that will give your brain something else to think about. therapy probably helps as well. and i hate when people say this to me but time heals all.

Feel your feelings without judgment. Spend as much time with people who love you as possible. Make a list of things that bring you happiness/peace/comfort and try to do them.
Above all, be exceptionally kind, gentle, and compassionate with yourself. Remember that you won’t feel this way forever. There is a beautiful future ahead. You’re on your way 🫡

as much as you can - allow yourself to feel the pain. don’t judge yourself for however you’re feeling. keep busy and devote time to yourself but forgive if sometimes you still gotta stay in and sob. build up a beautiful life while grieving at the same time - and eventually you will realize you’re now as fully engaged with joy, pleasure, & passion as you once were with heartbreak !!!

I’m always telling everyone to go to therapy!!! It’s out of love 🫶
I suggest it because at some point in your life you learned feelings NEEDED to be over there. Yeah, you’re going to have to learn how to feel them, but I’m gonna assume that the distance comes from some kind of trauma. You can’t learn how to be in your feelings if your unconscious or body is going to think it’s unsafe. Again, there is a reason you learned how to do that. Maybe it’s obvious to you or maybe you’re like uhh mossyelfie you’re WRONG. And maybe I am, but an irl therapist can be helpful to figure all of this out and guide you 💗
Also (from personal experience) there’s a good chance the feelings feel so big because they’re at a distance and they’re not being heard. They’re like babies, they get louder when they’re ignored. They’ll probably chill out when you start learning how to express them.

my personal mantra is “if everything’s cringe, nothing’s cringe” and it sounds so silly but it really has helped me. also i spent my teenage years burying myself under 16 layers of irony, so now anything i do out of genuine interest and curiosity feels like taking a breath of fresh air cuz i don’t have to justify it with pretentious or apathetic attitudes, it is so freeing

probably not the pinnacle of healthy recs but i needed to quit soda and spicy water has helped immensely. some meals just can’t be had with plain water.

Drew and Enya babbling about nothing and everything has changed the chemistry of my brain forever through unhinged podcast episodes that either feel like staying up late at a sleep over with friends or like fever dreams no in-between… but they do have shorter content as well on their individual channels
