I need your best distraction techniques for negative thoughts. Graduation is just over a month away and I'm dreading it. I just want to back out and not go. :(
I don't know how best to deal with it really. I can already feel it hanging over me like a black shadow that's seeping at my happiness. Do I block it out and pretend it's not going to happen until the actual day? Or do I try and deal with it?
I need techniques for the actual day too. I know that right before the ceremony and the first part of it will be the worst. Horrible thoughts. Wanting to just run away and bail. Pounding heart.
I read one comment on someone's blog that said to remember the situation is only temporary, it won't last forever. I think that might help slightly if I can keep telling myself it will be over soon.
What else can I do to keep myself calm and fight off those bad thoughts?

... One of the thing that helps me the most is to give myself permission to leave my seat if needed. Not care what anyone will think. Usually that helps me to stay put and be more comfortable. Let me ask this: What would you tell a friend about to graduate fearing the ceremony? I decided with all of the anxiety I had struggled with, I EARNED the right to walk in my graduation. You did too! |
