Sadness can feel overwhelming and exhausting, because of this, it often makes Blue want to hide away even from those she’s closest to. But spending time with friends, even when we don’t feel like it, reminds us that we’re not alone in how we feel and can make our sadness feel less overwhelming. Blue knows that talking about her feelings with friends helps her express and understand her emotions better. Also, by sharing how she feels, she’s also learning to put her emotions into words, making tough times easier to handle!

Start small and just hang out for a little while, even if you don’t feel like talking. Choose something low energy, like watching a movie, listening to music, or playing a game. Remember, friends don’t need to fix your sadness; just being there helps!
