Don’t brush off what you feel just because you know you’ll get through it, it’ll be over at some point, or someone else is worse off than you. That’s a really quick way to completely invalidate your experiences.
How often do you hear people say things like…
I’ll be fine.
It’s no big deal.
I shouldn’t complain.
It’s nothing.
I hear them all.the.time. And I catch myself saying them too.
What I know for sure is that often times it’s not nothing. And you’re not fine.
Sometimes things just need to suck
