Self Care tips from a Psychology student

Yes, you've read it right. Healing takes time. Sometimes, we ask ourselves, "It's already months or years ago. Why am I still stuck in the past?" or "We're done already, so why can't I moved on?" or "Why can't I accept the fact that it already happened so I can't do anything about it?" It's because, healing takes time. Healing doesn't happen in just a blink of an eye. Or in a minute, or in 24 hours, or when you wake up in the morning. Yes, it still depends on the situation but mostly, it takes a couple of months or years. It doesn't happen overnight. So don't blame yourself that much. We need to stop forcing ourselves to move on from what hurts us. I know that it's hard because what we all wanted was to heal and move forward. But trust me, you'll be better soon. There are a lot of cases where people tend to drink liquor, smoke, do drugs, or self harm. All of those are examples of unhealthy coping mechanisms. Which is really alarming.
