R A I N Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I realised that sometimes, to make me feel better I really just need to let it all out and cry. But, I can't do that because my nose turns bright red and its so obvious to others that i've been crying and i want to know how to hide my bright red nose.

Heyy @R A I N, I have just responded to your previous message on community as well. I wanted to say it's okay to cry and let it all out, crying is a good way to express your feelings and is part of processing certain emotions. Instead of hiding your nose, is there a space at school or home where you can have some privacy to cry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I have no privacy to cry except the bathroom and my nose gets really red so even when I've already cried, my nose will still be red for a while.

Gremlin Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Hi @R A I N To answer your question I feel like wearing a mask could possibly help you hide your nose along with, using an ice cube or something cold to keep down possible swelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would wear a mask but they'd ask what I'm trying to hide if I just wear it all of a sudden. I'll try using an ice cube, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm feeling quite alright today, could be doing better but yeah, I'm not as bad as I usually am. Haven't let it all out since my breakdown, but even in my breakdown I was trying to calm myself down and cover my mouth with my hand, so it all got a bit chaotic actually, and I didn't exactly let it all out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good that you have friends, but it's also important to recognize when you're feeling distant from them and to take steps to address those feelings. One way to do this is to try reaching out to your friends and making plans to spend time together, even if it's just through a video call or text message conversation. Does this sound like something you'd like to try? In addition to using music as a coping mechanism, it might be helpful to try other activities that can improve your mood and well-being, such as exercise, meditation, or engaging in a hobby that you enjoy. If you're concerned about the impact of loud music on your hearing, you could try using noise-cancelling headphones or earplugs, or listening to music at a lower volume, I do find this to be helpful for myself. Would that be possible for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
