Ok! I caught my negative thought. I examined it and decided that it was not a good reason to feel bad.

Problem: i still feel bad, now i am just mad at myself for being upset and then feeling bad.

Suggestions for how to break out of feeling bad? And not just spiraling because you feel bad, so you must have done something wrong?

I really appreciate the replies and the faves. some of sharing this is being vulnerable to see if I am a hideous monster or if other people sometimes feel this way.

I held some ice to my breastbone/vagus nerve. I took some deep breathes. I had some real snotty cries.

I put on some fun music and I am feeling better now. soon i will go to bed.

thank you.

@ansate I'm sorry, I don't have any advice, but your post was very relatable! I don't have advice because I haven't figured out what to do either 😅

@ansate It's not as bad as it used to be! And I think not as bad as what you're dealing with. But still, relatable. I'm going to go read through the replies now.
