It's hard to come out of your comfort zone and most times its scary to start over life once you go through hard times. I learned to take on new challenges and accept that I can't do everything on my own. Accepting help is hard and I'm still learning to do it each day.
@BeautifulDarkside I used to hate asking for help or advice. I was one to believe that no ones opinions were better than mine even my parents. I would ask for their advice then hate what they had to say. I learned to accept others opinions and listen when they give me advice even if I don't always like what they have to say.
Congrats on taking a faithful step towards your own progress and success! I think it's wonderful that you have the courage and strength to ask for help. It's not a sign of weakness, but definitely a sign of strength. Glad you are here! @BeautifulDarkside

Meditation keeps the mind at ease
@SecretNotes26
Indeed! Meditation is a very good way to find yourself at peace! Glad it's working for you!
Keeping busy is the best way to distract myself from dwelling on the past.
@quietDime4559 I find that helps a lot my boyfriend always says don't think about things you can't change or things that have not happened yet. Instead focus on the present and what you can change
I am slowly learning that I can't fix everything. I can't worry about things that have not happened yet and I can't dwell on the future for it has not come yet. I need to focus on the now and when I am feeling overwhelmed or anxious talk to someone about it. It always makes me feel better knowing someone is there for you and wants to see you get better.
@Lissiebear
Awesome to hear you found something that makes you feel better. Keep up the progress!
I learned that there are a ton of coping strategies
@emma160
Really glad you learned a lot of coping strategies! I hope they're working for you. Rock on!
I've learned that I want to become a good listener!
@Cheon
That's an awesome goal and totally achievable! Connect with a mentor! :) Good luck!
I keep learning that there are good days, and there are bad days. It's an every single day battle.
@becomelight
Yes! That's true, Light! You're a warrior in the battle field! Remember that!
that it's okay to need professional help to get through.
I think that's a mature and responsible way to look at a situation! When you know your own limitations for growth, as well as are aware of your own opportunities to seek assistance, it certainly is a wonderful thing @FallenBird1234
@lynjen thank you
Everyone fails sometimes...
You're definitely en pointe with that statement! It also seems that the people who encounter a lot of failures, garner a lot of successes! @Cheon
To not overthink minor things and blow them out of proportion
Don't sweat the small stuff -- it's so true. I'm glad that you want to keep everything in perspective, and focus on what's important. @lyss900
