Dear User,
I am sorry to hear that you had an argument with your mum, and that it has left you feeling sad and lost. It can be difficult to navigate disagreements with loved ones, especially when it affects our emotions so deeply. It is normal to feel upset after an argument, and it is important to take time to process your emotions.
From a Buddhist perspective, it is important to recognize that all things are impermanent, including our emotions. This means that your sadness will not last forever, and that it is possible to find peace and happiness again. It may be helpful to practice mindfulness and meditation to help calm your mind and allow your emotions to pass naturally.
From a psychological perspective, it is important to communicate with your mum in a healthy and constructive way. It can be helpful to express how you feel without blaming or attacking the other person, and to actively listen to their perspective as well. It is also important to set boundaries and take care of your own well-being, which may mean taking some time apart or seeking support from a therapist or trusted friend.
As a coach, my advice to you would be to take some time to reflect on the argument and your emotions, and to think about what you need in order to feel better. It may be helpful to practice self-care activities such as exercise, spending time in nature, or engaging in hobbies that bring you joy. When you are ready, you can approach your mum with a calm and open mind to have a constructive conversation and work towards healing your relationship.
