How do I stop feeling badly about how I'm feeling?

Understand how I feel and why I feel like that and identifying what i can do to change that feeling

Remind yourself it is ok to have different emotions but to always move forward in working through those emotions.

First I will go over the things that I believe are negative attribute about myself. One by one I will assess them, then proceed to essentially debunk them. For example, “I am ugly.” First of all, beauty is defined by the eye of the beholder; from my eyes, I may seem ugly, but I know for a fact, someone out there sees me as the most beautiful being in the world. I could also note of a small quality about me that I think is nice, like my eyes or my hair, etc. The point of this is to fight yourself and your thoughts. Do not let your own or anyone’s words bring you down. You are your best defender.

I think the most important thing to remember is we are all human which means we all have feelings. You should never ever feel bad about how you feel. Nobody should ever be made to feel bad about their own feelings no matter what it’s about. I have felt bad for a long time with the pandemic as I am not able to work, I felt bad for feeling upset and angry about it because there were others out their putting their lives at risk, yet I was sat at home, safe. I felt bad because I thought I was being ungrateful. But the reason I felt that way is because I love my job and my work, I felt upset and angry I couldn’t work because I am so used to it. Some people may think I was mad to not want to be at work. But my mental health deteriorated because of not working, having no routine. The moral of my story is everyone has their own story. Some people may be worried and feel bad about how they feel because they are aware there is much worse going on. However, this is no excuse for you to feel bad about your own feelings. Everyone has an explanation to their feelings, and no explanation is never not good enough. So the best advice I could give is to take a deep breath, and keep telling yourself you are human, you have feelings, and we all have different stories, pathways, backgrounds. Never ever feel bad about how you feel. Embrace yourself and have plenty of self-care.
