HERE'S 3 TIPS FOR THOSE DAYS YOU FEEL TRAPPED IN SI

TRY TO BE SOCIAL:
This can be very hard, especially if you don’t want others to know what is going on but it can help to talk. This could be as simple as starting a small conversation with your friends, teachers, family, or anyone else.

USE COPING SKILLS:
The list of coping skills could go on for pages and they are unique to each individual. Some healthy coping strategies include journaling, coloring, playing a sport, going on a run, yoga, deep breathing, and so many more. Once you find a few or maybe even just one it can help tremendously.

LET YOURSELF FEEL:
When a low day hits that doesn’t mean you have to shut out what you are truly feeling inside. While this may be uncomfortable at times, acknowledging your feelings can help you move through them.
Remember you are not alone and you are not bothering others: Everyone in life has problems. That doesn’t mean you are adding to another person’s own problems if you share how you are feeling. You are not a burden. I have found that when I do share those thoughts and feelings a weight is lifted off my shoulders and a sense of relief comes over me.
The journey of life is filled with ups and downs, which is what shapes us into the people we are. When you’re having a bad day or a good day, remember that people do care about you, you are here for a reason, and the world would not be the same without you.
