I'm now adding "and that's okay" whenever I feel uspet
having a sudden flashback of bad hurtful-triggering experience?? That's okay. People ignoring me? Also okay. This new mindset really help me to ease my anxiety and worry. Do you think it's effective? or am I losing my mind? Thanks in advance 😄🙏
knowing bad people that ruined me are now living a happy life? That's also alright. I'm done with dealing with pain and sadness they caused.
I really like that technique, It’s something I am trying to apply too! we sometimes can obsess and try and change things because of use overthinking or maybe out of discomfort which only causes more stress. Even if it’s uncomfortable sometimes it’s okay to just say yeah it’s weird but that’s okay I can and will live with that. Eases a lot of overthinking when u just let things be what they are
Wow! This mindset is amazing. I am gonna try it.
However ngl, it's gonna be pretty difficult when it comes to implementation.
@hopefulencounter Yes this is a positive way to encourage yourself to accept your pain and emotions. It also helps you understand that it is temporary and will fade with time. I Hope you heal soon, sending you big hugs, cause you deserve soft and understanding folks<3
@Boon4U thank you, it feels good to know I did the right thing for myself .. 🙏 It's been rough these past 30 days 😔
@hopefulencounter awww it'll pass, you're stronger than you know💜

Yes, "that's okay." It may also be worth asking, "am I okay?" It's okay to not be okay, as long as you realize that becoming okay is a process, and you can participate in it. Another good question is, "what do I need in this moment to help me be okay?" I have found myself wondering how okay I can be while still having unmet needs or facing triggers. Then it often becomes, "am I okay enough?" It's very much okay to survive despite the odds. You are a survivor. More than that, you are on a path towards fulfillment.
@Spiritriver thank you for your uplifting words, some day i feel like im okay. the other days, i felt so down.. honestly still confused on what to do. i want to stay, but also want to detach myself. yet i'm not ok with those people having fun without me. it's such complicated feeling 😔. thanks for making me believe i'll survive this when the time is enough 🫶
