Facing the feelings rather than pushing them away
I usually just sit with the feelings and figure them out as I go
But there’s isn’t only one way to do it
I hope you get clarity to your situation

i understand it’s definitely not healthy bc no matter how hard u try to ignore things and forget about them they usually always come back to haunt us again

Yep
Whatever it is tht you’re feeling, sit with it
Don’t do anything about it just feel it
If you have no idea what you’re feeling it’s ok too
Don’t react, just observe

Do you have any friends or other people irl that you can talk about this with? I think it's important to say stuff out loud, and get other opinions from people you trust.

If you don't have any people you trust like that, I would try either a helpline or someone you trust online, but I would try one on one talk - and to get "deeper" in the issue.

I hope you take care of yourself! Make that a priority going forward. Drink water (you can use hairties or rings that you take off to track how much you drink, or an app or something). You can do the same for eating (if problems with eating). Take a nice shower or bath. Sleep (not 2 much and not 2 little). Get some fresh air and enjoy the weather. Meet up with friends or family.
