Recently I got a lot into stoic philosophy. I'm also imagining that everything that is happening to me is for the plot and character development.

I honestly don't try to overcome them.

I've found for me, if I try to avoid feelings I'm having and ignore them, I can end up feeling worse. So I try to just ... accept that I'm having those feelings/thoughts, and just let them exist for a while. Sometimes you just need to take some time to feel bad about stuff.

I recently lost a close friend (he's still alive, just being a jerk), and it's been pretty awful. So I'm just taking this week to feel shitty about it, because ... well, it's shitty. I'm just gonna feel bad for a while, that's normal and okay.

I'm not a religious person, but if that works for you then I'm very glad you have that.

Please explain, I'm not a religious person but what do you/have you prayed for?

To those who are having bad (lonely, depressive styled) thoughts recently, what have you been doing to overcome those thoughts?
