How do cope when you have a bad day?

[Royalshyness]

several nice things could happen but I tend to zone in on one not very nice part of my day (getting snapped out loudly by senior member of staff when I was in the right)

i have dealt with it but talking to someone above them and resolving it but come home in tears and it’s ruined my evening (which is my fault for dwelling on it)

wish I could take a tablet to be happy or something

I’m told in real life i am I nice person but my own family are not nice to me and then I work my arse off and feel like shit

Well I'd love to say I write in my gratitude journal, manifest a better tomorrow and then have a long bath with lavender essential oils but generally I just sulk and have a glass of wine.

Sulking and wine might do the trick 😂

Gin.

God I could have wrote this post the way I feel tonight. No advice really but to try and not let the bastards get you down… 😂

Peach and passionfruit green tea mixed with honey, plus my dressing gown and a comfort tv show.

There may or may not also be sulking involved.

I have slowly learned to tell those thoughts to go away and to focus on one positive thing that has happened in the day. I learned to do this when DH was undergoing investigations for cancer that were severely disrupted by covid, I also dealt with his subsequent diagnosis and death in a similar way. It sounds flippant I guess but I learned not to focus on things I couldn't change by worrying about them, the only person I was hurting was myself and all the worry changed absolutely nothing.

Here's to a better day tomorrow

Yeah I’m definitely causing myself the hurt

Early bedtime. Shower, bed with an audiobook. Tomorrow is a fresh start: reset.

I have a new rule where I have to write at least one thing that went well, even if really silly or one thing I’m proud of. And know that every day is a fresh start.
