Hi Helcat,

I use writing and music therapy personally. I like to listen to “Smile” by Nat King Cole. It comforts me. I also recommend the following:

Have self-compassion for feeling this way. It’s not your fault.

Tell someone. Anyone.

Ground yourself in your senses.

Add some spiritual component (whatever  your faith is, it helps).

Have a list of reasons to live ready to go whenever you feel this way.

Talk to yourself like you would a best friend. What would you tell someone else going through it?

Instead of giving up, surrender instead. So instead of wrestling with your thoughts and life, just surrender.

Get out of your head. Do something that you like.

Hope that helps!

Sarah
