(from Harry’s POV)
Most of the time when I’m going through something difficult, I get through it because I know how to heal myself.
I feel over the years I’ve got a hang of how to do that. I’ve also learnt a lot of things by experience.
The most important thing I’ve learnt is that sharing my problems with my friends and family makes the situation worse than what it is, because of the difference in opinion and also, I don’t really get the empathy I’m looking for.
I will feel better if I call up a friend when I’m going through a hard time and just chat about random topics (not the problems but just random topics), but unfortunately I’ve never had friends.
So that leaves me with looking out for myself which I’ve been doing since childhood, so that ain’t that hard.
Therapy is a safe and judgement free space to learn coping mechanisms which I try, test and keep if they work.
I feel what really healed me is understanding myself and my mind and also my surroundings. Being full aware of everything.
Some other things are music, making YouTube videos, writing fanfics, expressing myself with no filters, helping people, loving everyone around me, accepting my flaws, crying, self love and also my faith in God.
No matter what happens I always recover and heal. I’m not sure why that is?
Maybe it’s because my heart is full of love always.
With the help of therapy I have learnt to understand situations and how to behave because sometimes the love I feel can be misinterpreted if I hug and say I love you to everyone who talks to me, I think?
I have understood that I’m supposed to dislike people who hurt me and not talk to them, so I’m trying to do that. I guess if someone causes trauma I’m supposed to block them and not think that it’ll hurt them, because I should think about myself and set boundaries.
This is how I healed and somethings that helped me.
I hope it helps you.
