Sis, kapag dumadating ka sa point na parang magbbreak down ka na, do something that would distract you...
I remember my brother told me, tell yourself, "I am myself. I control myself. I am not a slave of myself." Everytime I would feel like emotions are overwhelming me, ganun iniisip ko. That I can be in control of these emotions and these emotions are a part of me, na kayang kaya ko icontrol. I am just overwhelmed right now, and I need to calm down.
Being positive also helps, big time. I am dealing with the same pain, like yours, right now. I think we feel so overwhelmed with emotions, kasi we losing control sa nangyayari. You're lucky you have a support group, mga cousins mo. I have no one. I'm always at home, alone. I have no one to talk to, but myself. Sure, it does hurt so much. But it could be worse than this. Let's all be thankful that God is giving us these challenges, these struggles to help us become a better person. Sabi ng friend ko sakin, try to turn around the negativity of the situation. Instead of it being so negative, think of it as a positive thing. It's in the power of the mind. The greatest power we could ever have is the ability to control our own minds at will and not be slaved by it. I only cried for him once, a big cry and it's a surprise na I didn't cry anymore after that. I never realized how strong I truly am, until this happened. I was so thankful kay God kasi he gave me this situation at the right time, at the time He knew I can handle it like this. I've been praying sa kanya for months and months to help me, and He just gave it to me. Remember, this is God's will. And this is the right time for you to experience this. Anong reason bakit ngayon, at bakit ito? You will find out soon, but definitely, it's worth all these pain.
