If you know other hotlines that provide support that are not on this list, feel free to contact a BlogTeam member to add it to this list.

Regarding replies that mention or are about religion: Generally, religion should be avoided when replying to other people to give them hugs, such as stating that you will be praying for them. However, exceptions will be made if the person asking for hugs is asking for prayers from people who practice the same religion as them or if they are open about what religion they practice. Otherwise, people who do not practice the same religion or do not practice any religion should steer clear of providing religion-related comfort if they don’t know if another BlogClanner practices a specific religion.

A note from BlogTeam: From now on, we will no longer moderate comments on the Hug Page that go into specific detail about events. Instead, commenters will post in a vague manner, such as โ€œIโ€™m having a bad day, I could really use some hugsโ€, and other BlogClanners are welcome to provide comfort and support. This change is not because of any specific event or person, but because it is extremely difficult to mitigate questionable comments and determine what parts of certain comments are suitable to moderate, as well as making sure that replies with advice are in no way harmful to the original poster or others. If you ever feel like you need advice about a serious situation, you are welcome to reach out to BlogTeam, because your health and safety is our top priority. However, no one on BlogTeam is or has ever been a mental health professional in any way, and all we can do is provide advice. We implore you to always reach out to a trusted adult or hotline (listed above) about a situation that worries you. You are still welcome to come to the Hug Page if you need any hugs or comfort from your BlogClan peers, but the cause of your distress can no longer be explainedโ€”โ€”no matter the situation. Thank you so much for understanding <3

    • No your not, and please don’t ever say that about yourself because you are an amazing, beautiful soul, and I don’t want you to ruin your self confidence, snow! I care about you and I -sorry for the strong word- hate to see people talk bad about themselves. I’m so sorry that your going through this, but sarcasm is just your style of humor. I barely have any friends either, but in the future, you will make more. And you are not at all stupid, and yes, a lot of us are kids, but we’re not stupid, we just take a bit more time to process and learn things. You are amazing, snow ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›

    • You are smart, beautiful, kind, loving, brave- and everything in between.
      How about you try telling riddles instead of jokes? Riddles are super fun and it’s not sarcastic either. Sometimes, and little sarcasm is a good thing, but too much isn’t.
      We’re here for you, and we always will be. You’re not alone, and everything will be okay.
      *Hugs*

      *Hugs*

    • You are not stupid :< YOU IS SMART YES YOU IS (excuse my grammar ๐Ÿ˜› ) Who said many friends was good? A few is all you need <3 Plus who isn't your friend, is missing out. And sarcastic jokes? Again, who said that was bad? Being sarcastic is good! Plus I also make like sarcastic jokes and well jokes when I'm nervous hehehe POINT IS YOU ARE AN AMAZING SNOWPAW AND DON’T FORGET IT :<

    • No. You are not stupid.
      All of us are your friends here.
      I make sarcastic jokes, too. And btw it doesn’t matter what kinds of jokes you make. What matters is that you are actually a smart funny kind person we all need in our lives. And we are all young at some point. Nobody comes into the world knowing everything.
      We love you Snowpaw! <3
      Hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs

      • Thanks Runningdapple.I love you guys too.Im not insecure about my sense of humor anymore,some of my clasmates(even the popular kids)think it’s funny.

    • You’re not stupid! You’re smart enough to ask for help when you’re struggling! (Unlike me) As for the friends, I don’t have a lot of friends too! Also, just like you, I make a sarcastic jokes! (We have a lot in common! Maybe we can be friends?) And by the way, I love your name! *Hugs*

    • Aww, it’s ok! My parents are not going well together at the moment, but I always find a way to make it through the day!
      Good Luck and Don’t Give Up!!!
      -Lily ๐Ÿ’

  • Hey everyone. So, I’ve been gone for a while and that’s because I’ve had a LOT of life stuff going on. There’s really too much to put down here so I’m going to tell you guys the big one.
    I recently un-friended a friend of mine who was mean to me. They didn’t encourage or support what I loved to do and made fun of my dreams. They’ve been ignoring me based on little things I say like, “That one eye is a little messy. Add a bit of eyeshine!” while drawing. Normally this would not be a huge problem except for the fact that they had decided they were a lesbian. When I un-friended them, a bunch of people-including my former friend-started spreading a rumor that I was homophobic. I know I’m not, but the whole school believes I am, even my friends. They are nice about it and try not to bring it up, but I still keep telling them, “Hey! That’s not true about me!” And the one person who would, believe me, is at another school! This was only destined to happen after I told all the Warriors fans at my school that I don’t like RavenxBarley, but still. Help!

    • I’m so sorry.I can relate to the being judged part cuz my sister is a wayyyy too good artist(she’s 11 like me but she draws better than most grown-ups)and she constantly points out all the flaws in my art.Dont worry,I believe u.Id back u up if I was at ur school.*hugs*.Those people r going to see how wrong they are sometime soon.

    • I’m sorry that you have to put up with this, whisper. You are so amazing, and I understand that you are not homophobic because you only unfriended that person because they were mean. I hope that things get better for you ๐Ÿ’›

    • You are a brilliant, wonderful person and you don’t deserve to be treated that way. If your friend was making you feel bad, you did the right thing unfriending them. I’d suggest talking to your parents about this!
      Hang in there! Everything will be okay.
      *Hugs*
      *Hugs*
      *Hugs*

      P.S I’m not a huge fan of RavenxBarley either :/

    • It’s good that you un-friended them because they do not deserve you :< And you know you're not homophobic, so it doesn't matter. If someone says you are, just calmly say, "Nope. I'm not." and just walk away or just ignore them. BUT REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE AN AMAZING WHISPERPAW DON'T FORGET IT

    • You made the right choice to un-friend your former friend. They don’t deserve you to be honest. I seriously don’t get why they would want to spread a rumor (that is not true) about you! I mean, you’re amazing, fabulous, wonderful, unlike them, and etc, etc! I hope people realize that the rumor is fake! ( I also hope that your former friend learns not to disrespect someone like you after I break in to their house) *hugs*

    • *Hugs!* *HUGS!* (Skytail explodes whisperpaw with hugs)
      “friends” can be mean. SO, in my opinion, you did the right thing.
      And if people are saying “your so homophobic.” just tell them what happened.
      I hope you feel better!

    • I mean, honestly? Just show them this page and say, “proof.” This page is proof that we don’t care about rumours or lies, or even the truth! We just care about making people feel safe and secure in their daily life. Just remember to stay positive and always believe, no matter how crazy your beliefs are (to others and yourself) ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Hi. So, i have this friend. More than friend? Idk, because they havent really been acting like it lately. Let’s call them Newtbreeze. In recent months, Newtbreeze has lied to me, hidden the truth from me, and put me down. Once, he even made fun of my trauma.

    I’ve tried to tell him please stop multiple times multiple ways. I wrote him a long letter. I didnt try to hide that i was stressed. But Newtbreeze doesnt seem to listen to a word that comes out my mouth. I even asked bluntly if he cared about my feelings or not and he said yes but he’s yet to show it.

    I’m stressed, on the verge of a mental breakdown, and my heart is shattered. I have been this way for almost three months.

    My other friends are like ” well if he’s doing all this stuff to u and not apologizing maybe you shouldnt like him *glares at Newtbreeze*” but i cant help it. i really, really love Newtbreeze with all i am. I dont want to hurt him the way he’s hurt me. I just want to fix this.

    Ive journaled, talked to my dogtor ๐Ÿถ, sang sad songs, prayed, written poems, cried, and even tried to telepathically communicate with Newtbreeze.

    I’m not sure what to do anymore. Do you have any advice?

    • Newtbreeze doesnt sound like a friend if he did that to you!! I think you deserve better friend than Newtbreeze.
      *Hug Hug HUUUGGGG*

    • So, some of my friend’s other friends (her brother’s friends) were not being that nice to her, and me and the rest of our main friend group just tried comforting her and honestly I think it only helped a little bit. She did all the things you did, and that didn’t help either.

      Then she found this website,, au.reachout.com, from what she’s told me, there’s two, one’s Dealing with a toxic friendship, and the other’s How to tell your friend they’ve hurt you.

      These really helped her out, and in her case she got to stay friends with her brother’s friends. I hope this helps you. *hugs*

      • Omg tysm like two years ago a new girl came to my school and I found I could relate to her in a lot of ways and we became besties and my old best friend became jealous and just completely ignored me, and when she did talk it would be to make barbed comments. If they’re troubling you that much talk to your parents, or your teacher or whoever you trust and they’ll help you. I know that my friends and family were there to help me.

    • *Hugs* I’m so sorry Smokeflower. First of all, you are such an amazing, kind, caring person, and you do not deserve to be treated like that. Second of all, you have done all you can to express your feelings to Newtbreeze. I know how it feels to love someone, and they seem not to care about you. Newtbreeze could be going through a tough time. I would suggest meeting with him privately, and having a talk with him about how you feel. I hope things get better soon, and I am always here for you if you want to talk. *Hugs* *Hugs* *Hugs* *Hugs* *Hugs* *Hugs* *Hugs* *Hugs* *Hugs* *Hugs* *Hugs*

    • Oh my smoky… you don’t deserve this. I don’t think that you should be friends with this person anymore because that is not how a friend should act. I’m so sorry that you have to deal with this ๐Ÿ’›

    • Newtbreeze sounds like an awful person! If he makes you feel bad and those things like that to you, he doesn’t deserve you!
      Don’t worry, Smokeflower! Everything will be okay ๐Ÿ™‚
      *Hugs*
      *Hugs*
      *Hugs*

    • IM SO SORRY! I know what this is like, most people know about the famous crush insident with my crush, let’s call him Foxpaw, because he’s a no good lying fox! Sorry, had to get that out of the way. I don’t know much about boys other than the feeling when one you like talks to you. What I can say is, what do you love about Newtbreeze? Do you love him for what he expresses most of the time, or what he expresses some of the time. I love(like him? Hate him? Idk what I feel for him at this point) Foxpaw because he’s funny, yet sweet. Clueless, yet smart. Cute, yet not afraid to show the ugly sides of himself. think about that before talking it out with him. If you find that you only like some of his parts, then try to get to know him all over again! I hope this helped!

      • Looking back this doesn’t make much sense. If I were to rephrase this, I would ask you if you love Newtbreeze for the qualities he shows the majority of the time, or for what he only shows some of the time. My complicated feelings for Foxpaw are fueled by the parts of his personality he shows to me and others most of the time, the funny, kind, and sweet parts that makes him have so many close friends and that made me question my sanity in the first place.

    • Ugh I know exactly how that feels. To reeeeaaally like someone but not get there love back. Im in a similar situation right now, in fact Iโ€™ve done pretty much all of that stuff you listed at the end (thank goodness i’m not the only person who tries to telepathically connect to my crush XD). I know that crushes seem like they come out of nowhere for no apparent reason and you canโ€™t make them go away!! trust me when I say you come to peace with it. Ive have my current crush for over a year and now I just sort try to ignore it. I think the best thing you can do to make your feelings go away is to just not hang out with Newtbreeze. (He doesnโ€™t sound like a nice person) the less you do the less youโ€™ll notice your feelings. ill be praying for u ๐Ÿ™‚

    • IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS N E W T B R E E Z E DOESN’T DESERVE THE MARVELOUS, THE AMAZING, THE BRILLIANT, THE *breathes* BRAVE, THE STRONG, THE BEAUTIFUL SMOKEFLOWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But i know what it’s like to really really really like someone and not being able to express so. And don’t let him bother you like that. There’s always gonna be a thorn on a rose. But maybe you could tell him how you feel? Like, how he is hurting you. Everything he’s caused- BUT LIKE I SAID ABOVE, YOU ARE.. THE MARVELOUS, THE AMAZING, THE BRILLIANT, THE *breathes* BRAVE, THE STRONG, THE BEAUTIFUL SMOKEFLOWER!! and don’t you forget it

    • I understand that you truly love him, but I think you need to cut the relationship. He’s toxic. He’ll just do that more and more until you will get a mental breakdown and maybe he will still continue to lie to you. I’m not trying to hurt you but I think that he was lying when he said that he cared about you. I suggest you this. Ask him if he is mad at you for anything. If he says no, give him the cold shoulder and tell him you don’t want to be his friend anymore. If he just shrugs and seems to have a good time without you and he doesn’t even try to talk to you to solve the problem, I believe that you should cut the relationship. I’m sorry if I’m acting a little cold to you, saying you shouldn’t be his friend anymore. Anyway, *Hugs Hugs Hugs*.

    • They don’t seem like a good friend
      I’m sorry :c
      I think you should distance yourself from them

  • I’m having a lot of problems.My attitude gets me in trouble with my parents(mainly sarcasm),and I don’t have that many friends so I feel kinda lonely.In addition,my sister recently accused me of stealing her money,almost broke my arm,and nearly disowned me.I don’t know what to do and I’m falling into deppresion.In addition,my school enemy is in two of my classes and I have to do group projects with him.I also started to zone out and get bored in class and I don’t get enough sleep and my dark humor pops up in the most random times and I feel like my friends stopped taking me seriously.please give me advice.๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

    • Cheetahheart!, (Warrior name) Cheetah heart, (Ancients) Cheetah that runs through valley, (Tribe of rushing water) Cheetah (Sisters) Cheers (Kittypet) Claw (rogue/loner) tell me if i missed any names! says:

      About your school enemy, usually, when you don’t like someone, think about why. Try to become friends with them, and get together. Maybe there is a good reason you hate each other, maybe not. But it should be forgiven.

      About your parents, try to be kinder. Pray to the Lord, for only he can help you.

      About your sister, if she is being rude to you, be kind to her back. When she accuses you of stealing her money, give her extra. When she steals your stuff, give her more.

      Hope this helps. stay strong, and love those around you, even if they don’t back!

        Hey Cheetahheart!
        Just a reminder that BlogClanners really arenโ€™t advised to give religious advice- not everybody practices a religion, so saying something religion-y isnโ€™t necessarily always going to be helpful. Please avoid it in the future, unless you know for certain that the BlogClanner youโ€™re comforting practices the same faith you do.

          thank you, i will remember that in the future. (:

      • Just want to say, if someone is known for bullying you, or heck, nearly breaking your arm, your first course of action should not be to be nice to them.

        An adult needs to be told after what their sister did. Giving the sister what she wants will only cause Snow to be in more danger, I think.

        Yes, if their sister is yelling at them Snow definitely should not react the same way, they should keep cool and gently try to explain, but giving her money and items only puts Snow in a position to be bullied and hurt further.

        • My sis has anger issues so I don’t think that was intentional,but it still hurt,physically and mentally,even tho she apologized afterward,that she distrusts me that much.Btw,my pronouns are she/her,so u don’t have to call me the, all the time.Ty for the advice Blue.

          • Even if it wasnโ€™t intentional, itโ€™s still not a very safe position to be in. Maybe she just needs some help(therapy or something) so she can figure out a better way to work through her emotions.

            Thank you for letting me know! I didnโ€™t want to use the wrong pronouns and end up hurting your feelings. ๐Ÿ™‚

      • Ty for the advice,but it’s impossible to become friends with my enemy.there is a good reason for it,but it’s hard to understand

    • I’m so sorry that your dealing with this. I also have an attitude and sarcasm problem, so I also need help with that. I’m also zoning out in class as well, so I’m not sure about any advice to give. But I hope that things get better ๐Ÿ’›

    • Wow, that really sticks. It sounds as if everything going wrong at once. But we will all go through a dark time in our lives at some point, and honestly we just have to push through. Mine happened around the curve of my 13th birthday I felt really depressed all the time for no apparent reason. As long as you keep going youโ€™ll eventually make it out of this dark time. Just stay calm and don’t let your emotions rule your life. this may not mean much but ill be praying for u ๐Ÿ™‚

    • *hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs and one more hug* that sounds bad . I’m sorry you have to go through this. I hope your sister is going to apologize or has apologized. You have innummerable friends here at Blogclan. โ™ก Youre inability to sleep well might actually have some affect on your depression. Try a sleeping mask and/or a noise maker, like a small fan or nature sounds on Youtube. I’m sorry you have 2 classes with someone you dont like that much. That’s never really fun. I know what it is like when people think you’re crazy. It’s awful. The best thing you can do is just try to earn back their trust without being something you’re not. But I trust you, Snow. We’re here for you. And remember – every day is a clean slate. *hugs and hugs and hugs*

    • Try concentrating on all the good little things in your day instead of the bad! It can be very little things too- like you baked cookies, went for a good walk, finished your homework, or watched a new good movie! There are always good things in a day if you take your time to search for them, and once you find them and bring them out into the light, they will overpower all the bad things!
      Other than that, try writing a diary where you can jot down your feelings, take a warm bubble bath, draw, write, talk to your parents, go outside in nature a lot, make a fun craft, cuddle with a pet or plushie, spend less time on the computer, exercise, etc. These will all help make you feel better, I promise!
      Everything will be okay, Snowpaw! We’re here for you, you aren’t alone in this ๐Ÿ™‚

    • For your parents, try to speak nicely to them, and try not to be sarcastic. About your sister problem, tell your parents what your sister has done. I also advise you to ask your parents not to tell your sister that you said what she has done (because she might try to attack you again if she realizes you told on her) if your parents are going to scold your sister. As for your enemy, try to solve the problem between you. Try to control your dark humor. I hope my comment has helped you! *Hugs*

  • so um, small vent here!
    Some of my best friends are in my class, like Larkdawn, Shellflurry, and Raidiantwinter! But I really feel like I’m getting replaced. I’ll divide this into three parts: Larkdawn, Shellflurry and Raidiantwinter.

    PART ONE: RAIDIANTWINTER
    This is the one I’m having the least trouble with. So me and Raidiantwinter have been friends since 1st grade (btw: i’m in 4th right now) There’s this girl, Shivermoon, who’s been hanging out with Raidiantwinter all the time. I always try to talk to Rai, but Shivermoon is mostly hanging out with her. Me and Raidiantwinter do get to talk a bit tho.

    PART TWO: SHELLFLURRY
    This comes in second for trouble with. Shellflurry has been one of my best friends since 2nd grade. Lilythorn is always hanging out with her. Every time I have the chance to sit next to Shellflurry, Lilythorn is always there. And at the times I can sit next to Shellflurry, it usually starts with my greeting, me patting her on the head then squinting and then Shellflurry squints. (I pat everybody on the head because I’m the second tallest girl in my grade, being either 4’10 or 4’11)

    PART THREE: LARKDAWN
    This is the one I’m having the most trouble with. Larkdawn has been my friend since THREE’S PREESCHOOL! That was the first time I’d ever went to this school! And we’ve been in the same class EVER SINCE! Then there’s this girl who I call Hailfeather. Hailfeather is one of Laughlin’s best friends, and they’re ALWAYS hanging out. The only time I get to REALLY hang out with Larkdawn is orchestra, because Hailfeather isn’t doing it.

    I could really use some advice! And btw, DO NOT send hate to Hailfeather, Lilythorn, and Shivermoon in the replies. They’re all really nice people and Lilythorn is one of my other best friends, thanks!

    • Oof I can relate.Theres this one friend I’ve been friends with since I was three and she was two(I’m 11 now and she’ll be 11 on the 18)but she doesn’t talk to us(me and my twin sis Deathpaw)unless the popular kids(her other friends)aren’t there.Its almost as if she’s ashamed of being friends with us.I don’t have advice but I can relate and I hope this makes you feel better even tho I’m just a random 11 year old sixth-grader on the Internet.*hugs you so hard you can barely breathe*Hope that gets sorted out.

    • Maybe just plan a hangout time with all of them at some point? Maybe try to get to know their friends better as well, so you can all be friends instead of it being almost like a competition ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Like Blueheart said, possibly plan a hangover with all of them? You could have a slumber party/sleepover, or a party, possibly a Halloween party? ๐Ÿ™‚
      We’re here for you! Everything will be okay ๐Ÿ’– ๐Ÿ™‚

    • I would suggest to try to get along with all six of them. If they (Hailfeather, Lilythorn, and Shivermoon) are nice, and your friend likes them, you could be friends with them too! Try to talk to them (Hailfeather, Lilythorn, and Shivermoon) and be friends. There is nothing wrong about having six friends and you’ll have a lot more friends if you’re friends with Hailfeather, Lilythorn, and Shivermoon! Hope I have helped! *Hugs x 1000*

      • i’m already friends with them! Shivermoon and Hailfeather, I don’t really talk to them but I’m on their good side and i mentioned it up there, Lilythorn is one of my other best friends! thx for the advice tho!

  • BLOGCLAN ANNOUNCEMENT

    From now on, we will no longer moderate comments on the Hug Page that go into specific detail about events. Instead, commenters will post in a vague manner, such as โ€œIโ€™m having a bad day, I could really use some hugsโ€, and other BlogClanners are welcome to provide comfort and support. This change is not because of any specific event or person, but because it is extremely difficult to mitigate questionable comments and determine what parts of certain comments are suitable to moderate, as well as making sure that replies with advice are in no way harmful to the original poster or others. If you ever feel like you need advice about a serious situation, you are welcome to reach out to BlogTeam, because your health and safety is our top priority. However, no one on BlogTeam is or has ever been a mental health professional in any way, and all we can do is provide advice. We implore you to always reach out to a trusted adult or hotline about a situation that worries you. You are still welcome to come to the Hug Page if you need any hugs or comfort from your BlogClan peers, but the cause of your distress can no longer be explainedโ€”โ€”no matter the situation. Thank you so much for understanding <3

      I understand, Cheetah, and I support this decision <3

    • I’m not very happy, a few months ago when I was really depressed over moving, it was the hug page that kept me going, and it might have been the same for other people with other problems too. But I understand your decision.

      And I want to say thank you to everyone who helped and gave advice on the hug page! I know for me- your advice helped a ton whenever I was feeling depressed! ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–

      • There are a lot of things on the Hug Page that don’t get moderated simply because they are too much for anyone on the blog to give advice for, and BlogTeam isn’t qualified to do it either. To be frank, moderating the Hug Page was taking a huge toll on all of us and I have to remind people that we do this voluntarily, but there’s only so much we can take before it becomes harmful to our own mental health. Yes, the advice on the Hug Page was helpful to a lot of people, but ultimately that was never what the Hug Page was supposed to do. It was never meant to act as a vent page, it was, quite literally, just a place to ask for hugs. It grew out of control, so we figured that it was high time we returned the Hug Page to what it originally was and redirect people to certified and qualified sources of help instead.

        • Yes, emberdawn. This is so understandable and you are all human with your own lives and tasks.

      Thank you cheetah and other mods for making this important decision. I can’t say I won’t miss it a few times, but I understand.
      Also, I have a question: if you said, for example, “I’m having some problems with my friendships, and I need hugs” is that alright? Or do you have to be vaguer?

      • That statement in and of itself isn’t an issue, but we’d like to stay as consistent as possible and keep from saying what kinds of problems we’re having ๐Ÿ™‚ I know it might sound frustrating, but the blog will be better off in the long run!

  • Hello fellow BlogClanners! I hope you’re having a good day and if you’re not I hope it will get better. *hugs for everyone* I heard that specific posts are no longer allowed and while I definitely understand why the decision was made (bad advice can be worse then no advice), I personally relied heavily on the Hug Page in my middle school years because I didn’t have any irl outlets. I know a lot of you must be the same way so the advice of talking to a trusted adult wouldn’t work, so I have some advice for you! I don’t know where I would be now if I didn’t have this community, so in case any of you feel the same way I’ll list some coping mechanisms that have helped me.

    Writing it out:
    Oftentimes it wasn’t the advice that helped me most, it was just typing it all out so I wouldn’t have to bottle it up. You can do this by writing it on a piece of paper, or opening a Google Doc/using your Notes app. Even now I find I feel better after writing or typing the stuff that’s bothering me then deleting the document.

    Distract yourself with a hobby (preferably offline):
    I specified offline because computers and the like can often be overstimulating, but if it works for you then go ahead. I find that drawing, reading, and exercising are personally effective for me. You can look into “mindful coloring”, it’s very helpful and fun.

    Identify pros and cons:
    Sometimes we don’t just need to vent, we really are stuck on what to do. In this case, after you’ve calmed your emotions with one of the methods above or one that works for you, try to identify the pros and cons of each solution. After thinking rationally, which one seems better? Another thing I’ve heard you can do is flip a coin, if you find yourself hoping for one outcome it’s likely the one you want to do.

    If you have any other coping mechanisms you’ve found beneficial feel free to share them in a reply. Hugs to everyone! Remember that you are loved and cared for. <3

      • You are such a sweet heart raven ๐Ÿ’› Thank you so much for the advice and helpful coping mechanisms. I’m sure that others will appreciate it as much as I ๐Ÿ˜Š
