Just like we take care of a physical injury, emotional pain also must be taken care of in deeply caring ways.

The most important thing to do when you are at a low point in your life is don’t judge or self-blame. Punishing yourself by going through that mental loop of I deserve this, or I’m worthless is like walking on a broken leg; you won’t heal.

Be gentle to yourself, give yourself time, and rebuild your strength—you’ll get through.
