It happened to me this morning. I was feeling like everyone hated me and I was completely useless and a failure at everything and then I suddenly thought… “What would Worf do?” and things actually started to feel better 🤣 What’s your strategy?

I tell myself it’s not true, no matter how true it feels; my brain is wrong. Then I just tough it out till it goes away. I like the Worf idea though.
Who is Worf?
Worf :)
Curl up in a ball
in a dark room
Now I need to watch Star Trek after not seeing it for ages to remember Worf’s personality. Is he introverted?
He is not a merry man!
I need to leave the place if there are people, I try to give me comfort vegan food and I watch series or films
I have been trying to get better at just sitting with emotions. The idea being that it helps me learn to tolerate unpleasant feelings and most things will go away on there own given time for your brain to process. This is hard and some times I have to bail out. Journaling where I can describe my feelings and why I think I feel that way can help. Going for a walk and listening to something relaxing helps a lot.
pretend i don’t exist for the day, cry, eat junk food, watch sad things to cry more
Pretty much all of the above. Sometimes it’s hide in the Den of Depression, sometimes it’s going full Worf, well, maybe semi-Worf, at best.
