If you have checked baggage, this is less of a concern, since you can pack liquids and gels weighing more than 3.4 ounces (100 ml/g) in that. However, if you only have a carry-on, remember that any liquid or gel souvenirs that you purchase must be that size or less. Also keep in mind that they will have to fit into your single 1-quart (1 L) bag for non-essential liquids and gels. Limit your purchases by size and quantity accordingly. Also keep this in mind when deciding on what non-essential items to bring on the flight there. To make room for the return-trip, consider only bringing items that you can jettison at the end of your stay. Make packing for the return trip that much easier by shipping liquid and gel souvenirs separately. Ask retailers if they offer shipping themselves. If not, bring your purchases to a parcel service like UPS, FedEx, or DHL to pack and ship your items home. If you are travelling internationally, be aware that your items may be subject to customs fees upon delivery, depending on the item and countries in question. If you are travelling internationally, consider saving any souvenir shopping for liquids and gels for the flight back. Make your purchases before your flight at the duty-free stores located within the airport's secure area. These items are exempt from carry-on rules, as long as: The sealed, clear security bag provided by the store at the time of purchase has not been opened or otherwise tampered with. You keep your receipt for inspection. The item was bought within the last 48 hours.

It's important to know what makes you want to seek treatment, so this can be communicated later on to match you with a counselor. Some common reasons to seek counseling include: Symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression Interpersonal difficulties with family or romantic relationship Grief (such as breakups, deaths, parental divorce, or other major losses) Questions/confusion about identity, sexuality, or gender Concerns about body image and relationship with food Trauma (such as experiencing a catastrophic natural disaster, sexual assault, relationship violence, or abuse) Thoughts of suicide or hurting others Harming behaviors, such as cutting or substance abuse Counseling can be helpful in many situations, but it is highly recommended in certain situations or conditions. A few examples include: You are unhappy most days You worry excessively, feel on edge constantly, or feel overwhelmed often You have experienced a change in your appetite or your weight that varies significantly from what is normal and there isn't a medical cause You have experienced a significant loss (breakup, a parent's death) You have dramatically increased your use of substances such as alcohol or drugs You have thoughts of hurting yourself or someone else Before you seek counseling, try to be clear about what you are seeking. Think about what events or feelings are contributing to your current concerns. Consider the severity of symptoms, and remember nothing happens overnight. Think about what goals you want to accomplish by the end of counseling. This can be as simple as, "I don't want to feel sad anymore" or "I want to move past my disappointments". Working with a counselor will not solve all your problems. Instead, in working with a counselor, you will learn to build coping skills and problem-solving skills that will help you handle life's challenges in a more productive way. Other goals can be to reduce addiction, break free from an eating disorder, or escape an abusive relationship. Different types of counseling are available, including individual, group, family, and couples. Some religious organizations also offer counseling, in which case you will directly work with those organizations and not deal with insurance. Know what you want ahead of time so that when the time comes to seek a counselor, you know what you are looking for. Individual therapy is most common. You meet with your therapist one-on-one and you are the focus of each session. People suffering from chronic psychological disorders, such as OCD, bipolar, depression, and trauma benefit from individual therapy as a way to continuously monitor progress and learn ways to cope and work through issues. Group therapy is especially helpful in learning skills. Less attention is on you, and more time is devoted to learning skills, practicing them, and then enacting them throughout the week. Family therapy is often recommended for drug rehabilitation and eating disorder rehabilitation, as families can play a large role in recovery. Couples often seek counseling together when they feel a significant strain on their relationship. Counselors may choose to see couples together in addition to having separate sessions. If you want a religious context for counsel, seek a rabbi, pastor, priest, or other religious leaders in your community. Religious counseling is sometimes helpful for people who want to follow a path rooted in religious teaching.

If your ex is digitally abusing you, you should stop all communication with them. Don't respond to their texts, their messages, e-mails, or calls. By not reacting or responding to them, you help lessen their power over you. Ignore all calls, texts, posts, and messages. Don't answer the phone or respond. If your ex sends you an email, read the email and save a copy, but don't respond to it. If your ex is digitally abusive after a breakup, delete and block them from contacting you in any way. Block their number and remove it from your phone. You can also block them from your social media accounts, like Facebook. Get a new e-mail address or social media account name if they won't leave you alone. When you are dealing with digital abuse, you shouldn't post about where you are on your social media accounts. This can let your ex know where you are and may put you in danger. If you want to post about something you have done, do it afterwards when you are no longer there. Ask your friends not to post that they are with you on social media. Ask them not to post photos of you or tag you in posts while you are out. Check your social media notifications and feeds occasionally to make sure that request is honored. To help protect you from your ex, you should make your accounts private. Most social media, like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, allow you to lock your account so only people you approve can see your content. Change any passwords that you think your ex may have to your social media sites or e-mail. Check the privacy settings on your social media account. For example, block your ex but understand that they may have friends in common with you. Make sure you know exactly who you share information with when you post on social media. Taking action to protect yourself on social media can help prevent your ex from hacking into any of your accounts. One form of digital abuse your ex might engage in is publically bashing you or talking about you on social media. If this happens, don't engage with them. Instead, as hard as it may be, ignore them. When you respond to your ex, you are giving them the attention they want and showing them that they are getting to you. This just encourages them to keep harassing you. One way to help put an end to digital abuse is to take a social media break. This takes away your ex's outlet for attacking you, and you can take a step away from the situation. During your social media break, focus on yourself. Going through a breakup is hard, and it's even harder when you experience abuse. Do things for yourself to make yourself feel good. Spend time with family and friends so you won't be alone and you can take your mind off the situation.
