Something that I feel like is not talked about is feeling guilt when you are happy. This is something that I struggle with especially since in the past, I was so comfortable being sad and being happy felt almost unnatural. To this day, I still feel this way sometimes, but recognizing that you should not feel guilt for being happy is very important. Being a very empathetic person, I can relate easily to others, but I sometimes take on other people's emotions and forget that I am my own person and do not prioritize my own well being first. Remembering that happiness is just as temporary as sadness is something that I have to remind myself as and also not be afraid of feeling whatever it may feel. However, you should embrace the happiness as much as you embrace the sadness and stop comparing your emotions to others. Of course, love on others and understand others, but do not let it take away from your mental health. Protect your heart, be proud of yourself, and keep on living YOUR life!
