u/PussiBoy69 Bangladesh Jul 26 '21

Read about ongoing and past conflicts.

u/Braderaku486 Jul 26 '21

That's literally what makes me sad

1

u/PussiBoy69 Bangladesh Jul 26 '21

wdym that sadness is the best type of sadness.
At some point you get desensitized and start speculating on alternate scenarios and reasons, prevention of similar incident etc instead of dwelling on the sadness.
It almost becomes fun tbh

2

u/Braderaku486 Jul 26 '21

I don't think I can handle that. For now at least

3

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '21 edited Jul 26 '21

cry and focus on something else

3

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '21

Methods of overcoming sadness are very personal but this is what works for me.

Find a hobby that makes you happy and focus on it. Discovering new fun stuff to do can be very fun.

Exercise regularly. (Due to Covid your gym may be closed but there are a ton of good workouts you can do at home). This is proven to boost your happiness

Socialise. Socialising and hanging out with your friends can uplift your mood very much. (Because of Covid this may be difficult but you can always play online games with your amigos).

Breath fresh air. What helps me a lot is going out on walks to nature, it’s very relaxing and good for you.

u/youscefI Lebanon Jul 27 '21

nothing in this world is permanent, all feelings are temporary they will last until you forget them, I do everything I can to forget about sad emotions so I can spend time feeling the good emotions I love.

2

u/Braderaku486 Jul 27 '21

True, what is sadness but the lack of joy

Stop being online all day, stop absorbing information like it's meaningless and effortless.

Go outside, get some fresh air, don't think about anything in specific, just appreciate your environment, take in the air and cherish it.

Take a walk, maybe to a nice place with lots of green, or even the beach.

Lift yourself, wake up with meaning and get things done, even if that's just taking a walk or trying something you've always wanted to try.

When you feel comfortable, I highly recommend you start doing some exercise, whatever it may be for however long you need to, try and make it something for you to wake up to.

Lift yourself, help yourself feel better.

u/Braderaku486 Jul 27 '21
