Unasked for advice

Unasked for advice
You’re in shock right now. Like an unexpected death or betrayal. 
Eat what you need to. No guilt about that today. 
However you feel is the right way to feel. Anyone who tells you you’re exaggerating or being overly dramatic you walk away from. 
If you can meditate, do so for 10 min.  Lots of youtube videos from Headspace and other places for that. They help to self regulate. 
Limit your time online, it’s not helping right now, it will in the future. 
Nothing can be fixed today so just take care of yourself and those you love. 
If you can play a video game or watch an old movie or tv series do so. With a new one you’ll probably lose track of the plot as your mind wanders so old ones from the past are better.
With a video game you’ll have a dopamine release for winning small victories and when you beat what seems like an impossible boss.  
Write down how you feel. Write it all down. By hand if possible. Then fold it and put it somewhere. 
Look at nature if you can for a while.  
Know that even though there’s hate in the world, you’re loved. You really are. 
Let’s get through this day after a terrible night.
