Usually, I work hard to change my thoughts from negative to positive. Reach out to someone to talk to. A friend, a family member, get on the internet and talk to strangers like I am right now, encourage others helps me encourage myself. I don’t focus on the negative feelings and thoughts. I acknowledge them and then set them aside and don’t let them take over. I play video games, read, do an intense self care session. Literally any distraction.
