Hi All,
I'm new to this site as of today and I'm hoping you all have some good words.
How do you get through the really bad days when you can't see your counselor and no one is around? I'm feeling down today and my best friend, who is usually my rock, is on the verge of cutting me lose because of how much I smother her. And I'm home alone in a town where I know no one. I feel like I'm really losing it.
Thank you and wishing you all well.

There are many ways to get through the bad days and the major one is acceptance. OK, I'm having a bad day and my thoughts aren't helpful, what can I do to change it?
Do you have an absorbing hobby, can you spoil yourself in some way like hot baths with scented candles, fine chocolate, baking or cooking something special?
Once you have got through the bad times, you can work on the causes like learning to be ok with being alone, learning to love yourself, not being judgement of yourself or others and learning what brings you joy and fulfilment in life. Good luck and take care
I sometimes go to YouTube and look for inspirational videos like ones on good sportsmanship or acts of humanity and kindness. I'm way past college age but I even enjoy good commencement speeches.
Luck and hugs to you
