Help your friend find healthy coping resources. Coping skills are ways to deal with negative feelings and situations. This way, she can express herself or heal without causing herself more harm. Some examples of positive ways of coping with sadness include: spiritual or religious activities, creative exercises (art), nature-related activities, exercise, and mindfulness or meditation. Avoid drinking alcohol or using substances to excess with your friend or family member. This can be harmful and does not promote healthy coping or a reduction in sadness. In order to discourage using drugs or alcohol to cope you can educate your friend and offer alternatives by saying, "I've read that coping by using alcohol can create more problems and decrease your ability to deal with your emotions and the situation. What if we watch a funny movie together instead?" Many times people can get caught up in ruminating, or overthinking, negative thoughts and get stuck in an emotion. Help your friend distract herself in order to reduce rumination. Some helpful distracting or grounding techniques include: watching a happy movie, listening to cheerful music, dancing, naming colors or objects in the room, and playing a game. Spending time with your friend can help to console her and promote a sense of social support. Support is crucial to helping someone overcome sadness. Do creative activities together such as painting, drawing, playing musical instruments, writing song together, making candles, etc. Get out in nature. Go have a picnic in a scenic place. Head to the beach and relax in the sand. Exercise together. Go for a hike, run, or just a walk together.
