Surviving suicidal feelings can be an incredibly challenging journey, but it's important to remember that healing and hope are possible. When someone experiences these feelings, it's a sign that they are in deep emotional pain and need support. A crucial first step is to reach out to a mental health professional who can provide guidance and strategies for coping. Therapy, whether individual or group, can offer a safe space to explore these emotions, understand their root causes, and develop healthier ways to manage them.

In addition to seeking professional help, it's important to connect with a support network of friends and family who can offer emotional assistance. Sometimes, simply sharing these feelings with someone you trust can provide immense relief. Creating a safety plan is another critical step, outlining strategies to use during moments of crisis. Remember, healing is a process, and with the right support and treatment, individuals can move toward a place of greater emotional well-being and resilience.

Change is a concept that can evoke fear and uncertainty in many of us. It often pushes us out of our comfort zones, forcing us to adapt to new situations, environments, or perspectives. However, it's important to remember that change is an inherent part of life. It signifies progress, development, and the opportunity for personal growth.

Just like the seasons change, so do the circumstances in our lives. Embracing change means acknowledging the dynamic nature of existence. While it might be uncomfortable at times, it is through change that we learn, evolve, and become better versions of ourselves. It's a process of shedding the old to make way for the new, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon.

Journal Prompt for Dealing with Anxiety:

❓️ How might your approach to it change compared to how you handle it currently?

❓️ How would your internal thought dialogue differ?

❓️ What differences might the people closest to you observe in your behavior?

Journaling can serve as a catalyst for truly contemplating how progress would manifest to both yourself and those around you in this situation.

It can also provide a clearer vision of your objectives rather than just aiming to "get better" (which is a perfectly valid aspiration).

While it's not a panacea, expressing your thoughts can connect you with your goals and inspire new behaviors.

And always remember, it's absolutely fine if you don't feel confident right now. Anxiety often manifests as vulnerability and fragility.

Give yourself the time needed to discover the responses that work best for you 🖤

There's nothing quite like Napoli - a tad wild, a little hectic, but incredibly amazing (and the cuisine there is absolutely mind-blowing 😄)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, is a therapeutic approach that can be incredibly helpful for those dealing with uncontrollable emotional eating.
I
t's a unique form of cognitive-behavioral therapy that focuses on teaching individuals how to manage difficult emotions, improve relationships, and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

When it comes to emotional eating, DBT offers several key benefits:

Emotion Regulation: DBT equips you with tools to recognize and manage intense emotions, reducing the need to turn to food for comfort.

Mindfulness: This therapy encourages mindfulness practices, which help you stay present in the moment and make more conscious choices about eating.

Distress Tolerance: DBT teaches you how to tolerate distressing emotions without resorting to unhealthy behaviors like overeating.

Interpersonal Effectiveness: It enhances your communication skills and self-assertiveness, making it easier to express your needs and emotions to others instead of suppressing them with food.

Self-acceptance: DBT fosters self-compassion and self-acceptance, reducing the emotional triggers that lead to emotional eating.

Have you come across these two words before? 🧠

Cognitive fusion, in simple terms, means being unable to detach yourself or your personal experience from your thoughts. It's when our thoughts start to shape our perception of reality.

These thoughts can sometimes be distressing ("I'm in danger") or revolve around deep-seated fears or insecurities ("I'm unlovable"). When cognitive fusion takes hold, we start defining ourselves, our choices, our actions, and our experiences based on these unhelpful thoughts.

On the other hand, cognitive defusion is a skill, often used in therapies like mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. It's about creating some space between your "self" and your thoughts. You can achieve this in various ways, such as:

▫️ Visualizing techniques 🍁 (imagine your thoughts appearing on a leaf, floating down a river, and slowly vanishing from sight)

▫️ "Passengers on the bus" 🚌 (think of unhelpful thoughts as passengers on a bus; fighting with them won't help, so focus on driving towards your destination, and they'll eventually get off on their own)

▫️ Acknowledging the thought 💭 (e.g., "I notice that I'm having the thought that I'm unlovable")

These techniques might sound a bit unusual or minor, but mastering the art of creating some distance between yourself and your thoughts is an incredibly valuable skill! If you ever struggle to separate your thoughts from reality, give these techniques a try and observe how they make you feel 🤍
