There's no need for antidepressants

LEAVE THE PILLS

You're going to be okay - I promise.

DIVERT YOUR ATTENTION

Remind yourself often of what you do have instead of what you've lost

WRITE ‘NEVER-TO-BE-SENT’ LETTERSGet things off your chest

IT IS WHAT IT IS!

Yes, you can regret what's happened.You can be disappointed, angry and hurt.

But it is what it is. It's not going to change.

So, really think about how you're

going to spend your valuable energy.

TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF

Even if at first you can't eat very much, be sure to nourish yourself with healthy foods.

Oh… and the occasional treat is a must!

BE IN TOUCH WITH NATURE

… it's healing

SEEK OUT WIDE OPEN SPACES

And breathe in slowly.Breathe out all negativity.

AVOID ISOLATING YOURSELF...

… for too long

ASK FOR HELP
