Some feelings need reflecting on. Never post online when you are angry – wait and write it calmly. With negative feelings it can be best to wait, reflect and not act hastily.
Be kind to yourself. Loving yourself and valuing your own feelings is important.
When teaching your children about sex, periods, life, money, jobs and so on, make sure you discuss the emotional side as well as all the practical advice.
Even if someone dismisses your pain, that doesn’t make it any less valid.
You can’t force someone else to feel something they don’t. Sometimes you can remain friends and still have a relationship. Sometimes that’s too difficult and you have to take care of yourself and your feelings so you don’t get too hurt.
Having romantic feelings for someone who doesn’t feel the same about you is something most people have experienced at some point in their lives, and can be one of the hardest feelings to endure.
Instead of hating someone, think of how you can make their life better. If you’re lucky, they may change; if not, then you still get to feel good about trying.
Hatred for somebody won’t stop them doing whatever it is you ‘hate’, but it will cause you to feel bad feelings inside yourself.
When dealing with moments of intense stress or feelings, take time out for yourself, do relaxation techniques or exercise. Time out will often help overcome the sense that everything is too much.
Everyone has overwhelming feelings sometimes in life – some more than others. Even if you feel relatively good about yourself things can still temporarily overwhelm you.
