I’m curious because I noticed the medication I’m currently on helps me emotionally regulate myself but doesn’t prevent me from thinking about how it still sucks.
I’m trying my damndest to reframe how I think about things. God is it hard though 😮💨

I treat being rejected like a physical illness (because that's what it feels like) and I can usually predict how long it will last. When my best friend dumped me, I was like "Ok. We're going to be experiencing flu-like symptoms for the next month, and then it will be ok." Knowing that the feeling will end helps me a lot.
Interestingly, it's only people close to me and career-related stuff that does this. Romantic rejection doesn't do it.
(Or if not"be ok," at least not be physically painful.)
