Everyone’s experiences are unique, so what may work for someone else may not work for you. It’s good to reach out and try to find as many healthy coping mechanisms as you can - and if it becomes too much just know that someone out there cares and you aren’t alone. There are many resources online with suggestions on how to better understand your own (or someone else’s) anxiety and how to healthily deal with the thoughts and physical symptoms. Thank you again for listening to this weeks episode! As always, we are taking comments, questions or suggestions on our TikToks - but you can also directly contact us at tottalks99@gmail.com.

Show notes

Somebody ALWAYS cares. We find that having one core person that you can trust is all you really need - wether that’s a friend, family member, therapist or teacher. Whoever it may be, we promise someone cares and you are not alone. The words that these bullies say to you aren’t true and your worth isn’t determined by them. You are loved, valued and supported. Please never let anyone make you feel like you are less than you really are. If you need to reach out, feel free to email us at tottalks99@gmail.com - although we are not professionals, we do care about you!

Episode 5: Friendship Breakups Apr 10, 2021

Show notes

In this episode we talk about the friendship losses that we have been through - and how we dealt with them. Everyone makes mistakes - and no one is perfect. If you are going through any sort of conflict or breakup with a friend, it’s okay to express how you feel. Talk to your friend - if you’ve made a mistake it’s okay to address that you want to fix it. If they have hurt you, it’s okay to bring it up to them so that you can work through things together. Sometimes friendship hurts. You realize some people you love just aren’t meant to be in your life - it hurts, but it will be ok. Just remember, you are not alone. No matter what happens, the pain won’t last forever. And sometimes, losing some bad friends can help lead you to find friends that will include you, make you feel special and love you for EXACTLY as you are. You are loved! And you deserve friendships that remind you of that.
