Life Style : Being Happy

Hello everyone. Today's topic is something that is something I hold close to myself. This only happens to me for a few months and I know there have been people who is going through with what I am struggling with for a much longer period of time. My objective in this post is to offer advice on how I am dealing with this issue. Everyone is different, so the way we cope with it will vary. 

For my story, I already did a diary post for it which you may click here for.

Remember the things that make you happy.

That is something that is pretty easy don't you think? When a person is sad they tend to forget things that make them happy. Negative emotions tend to stick around longer than positive ones. Find new things that make you happy if the ones you thought you like before doesn't work anymore. Go outside and enjoy nature or just do window shopping.

Do something you always wanted to do.

Do something that you have always wanted to do but haven't commit to it yet. I started this blog and a YouTube channel because it has always been on the back of my mind, but I was worried about a lot of things that could happen if I started one. It won't hurt to start on something you long to do for a while. If you want to dye your hair random colors, go for it. It would keep your mind off the topic during the process of dying and the excitement of wondering how it'll turn out.

Find someone to talk to.

It's easier to cry with someone than to cry alone. When you're with someone they would offer encouragement to continue living while when you're alone all you feel is pain. Since my university has a campus psychologist, I scheduled an appointment to talk to her. The first appointment was about an hour long and I cried 99.9% of the time I was with her. I opened myself up and told her about what was going on in my life that's stressing me out. On the paper she gave me that ask me what I want to talk about in our sessions, I wrote I would cry for no reason. She told me I had a lot of things to be sad about. That made me realize, just because something that sounds minor now, maybe something else to others. You are just coping with it so you can survive, but opening up and talking to someone helps. They would support you and its possibility heal what is bothering you.

Know that you aren't alone.

There are others out there that is struggling with the same thing you are. They understand what you're feeling and understand the pain. Connect with them and you can help support each other. A lot of things in life isn't fair and it didn't happen to only you. That's why there's support groups out there you can find on the internet that come together to talk within the group who understands the struggle.
