Just wanted to add to this thread with ways to cope.
If negative feelings control your life, try the following:
[1]Write down your feelings in a journal.
[2]Express your feelings to a close relative or friend.
[3]Challenge your feelings. For example, ask yourself, ‘Is there really evidence to support such a negative view of myself?’
[4]Do not hold on to anxiety, anger
Bottom Line- Often, negative feelings are not the result of our circumstances but of how we view them.
