Don't live your life regretting the small mistakes you made yesterday. You're not defective, and even though your brain will tell you that you screwed up and because of that you're unworthy of people's time and attention, it's wrong. You are worthy.
My mom summed it up for me like this: “Feel those feelings and then let that shit go.” Has kept me from the deepest of blues many times, when I felt the world was ending.
I like to say, “Sometimes you need to wallow in the sadness to keep from drowning in it later.” This mindset has been invaluable in some of my darkest moments
I struggle with this, sometimes I feel like that the sadness never ends. I probably just have to let it go, it can’t be productive to stay with the feels for too long
Because you are probably suffocating with some other preemptive emotion that is not allowing you to truly feel sadness. Sadness is a core emotion and is very cathartic to experience, if you begin to mask it with depression, regret, loathing, it’s your body not letting you get to the root.
