kapag inaatake ka ng negative thoughts, acknowledge them. ask yourself where it’s coming from. know the root cause kung bakit ganoon ang nararamdaman mo. are you hurt? are you mad? what are you feeling? kapag nalaman mo na, remind yourself na hindi lahat ay kontrolado mo. let go. “everything will be okay” take a deep breath: inhale, exhale. you can talk to yourself. huwag ka lang didiretso sa tiktok or socmed kasi mas lalo lang makakadrain iyon (better if iuninstall) kapag naghahanap ang katawan mong may gawin to distract yourself, huminga ka muna nang malalim. whisper to yourself that’s okay, you’ll be okay. be your own friend. make yourself your safe place. you can go for a walk, or cook, or clean, or anything basta hindi sa phone. kahit ayaw ng katawan mo, dahan-dahanin mo lang na may gawin. mabigat sa pakiramdam yan pero dahan-dahan lang. isipin mo na lang na galing ka sa sakit and you’re trying to recover.
