After heartbreak or divorce, remember times you thrived alone. The speaker traveled solo and lived abroad, using those memories to rebuild confidence when depression hit. Professional help matters when negative thoughts overwhelm you.
You can get help at any stage in the game, but when that depression hits, when that sadness and those negative thoughts become all-consuming, getting help is the best thing that you can do because you want to be able to deal with all of these overwhelming emotions. When I went through my divorce, I replayed all of the times that I traveled on my own, that I lived overseas, and that gave me strength. That gave me the fortitude to know that, you know what, I did it before, I can do it again. So what are some situations where you were on your own and you thrived and you succeeded. Can you bring some of those feelings in? Start to think about, you know what, I can do this, I've done it before, there's no reason why I couldn't do it again.
