What do y'all do to help deal with disappointment? Some times it especially hits me hard when I was really looking forward to something for a LONG time and it doesn't happen. I go into a bad depressive state and my emotions are all over the place, often for hours or even a whole day.
What helps me sometimes is to think about the opposite. Like making a school project, I think about the things that could go wrong and that they will happen. Somehow it helps coping with the pain when it does happen
Always expect the worst and you’ll never be disappointed. If you’re right you’re prepared, and if you’re wrong you’re pleasantly surprised. Ik it’s not a healthy way to live and it’s probably bad mentally but it’s the only way I’ve found to keep myself from being constantly let down
