Creating something is

Healthy Ways of Dealing with Emotions
Joining a club, team, class, or support group can help you feel connected and supported.
Using tobacco, alcohol, or drugs to cope is harmful and makes emotions harder to manage.
Becoming more physically active (walking, running, dancing, yoga) helps improve mood and reduce stress.

1. Practice deep breathing or mindfulness.
2. Talk with a friend, family member, teacher, or counselor.
3. Do physical activity or a creative activity (drawing, music, writing).

The best way to avoid dealing with emotions in unhealthy ways is
to practice regular healthy coping skills (expressing feelings, self-care, and asking for help).

Unhealthy Ways of Dealing with Emotions
- Using alcohol, tobacco, or drugs to numb feelings
- Self-harm or risky behaviors
- Bottling up or ignoring emotions entirely
- Angry outbursts or harming others
- Overeating or other compulsive behaviors
- Isolating yourself and refusing to seek support
