Managing Thoughts and Feelings
Sometimes our thoughts and feelings can be unhelpful, making us believe things that might not be true or filling us with negative emotions that are hard to process.
When this happens, you might find it helpful to practice techniques to manage your thoughts and feelings.
To get you started, we’ve put together a few pointers that you might find useful.
- awareness of our thoughts and feelings can help improve our mental health and wellbeing – try keeping a mood journal or a diary
- Do not run and hide from your emotions, acknowledge and accept, all of them
- Talk to someone you trust like a friend or trusted adult
- Visit your doctor
- Take time to relax. Take some deep breaths.
If, having read this and tried these techniques, you would still like help then you can refer yourself to a clinician who will access your request for support.
