The pain... Indulge the pain.. ok you feel it in your chest. Good!!!. now can you figure out why its there. Keep think of why its there. Invite the sadness the pain. Its your pain. Your the only one that can feel it. Its your special buddy. Apart of you.
Catching the Pain and Understanding Its Source
Troubling emotions can be overwhelming, and it's all too easy to feel lost and unsure of what to do. When faced with emotional pain, it is essential to take the time to understand the source of your feelings. Acknowledge the pain and give it your focus. Recognize that you are the only one who can truly feel and understand your emotions, and instead of pushing them away, embrace them as a part of yourself.
Seeking Comfort in God's Love and Guidance
If faith is a part of your life, you can find comfort and strength in God's love and the Holy Spirit. Ask Father God to fill you with His loving presence and to guide you through these challenging times. Consider reaching out to Jesus Christ and asking Him to be a part of your heart and soul, forgiving your sins and offering you strength. Pray deeply and let His love fill your heart.
Building Resilience and Taking Action
It is important to take steps towards building physical and mental resilience. Begin by calming yourself and taking deep breaths. Encourage yourself by reminding yourself of your value and the strength to overcome challenges. Take small but meaningful steps to build physical and mental strength. You can do this by engaging in physical activities such as swimming or jogging, cleaning your living space, listening to music, dancing, and cooking nutritious meals. If needed, seek guidance from online resources or consider learning new skills.
Staying Positive and Maintaining Good Habits
Engage in activities that bring joy and happiness, such as listening to music, reading, watching movies, or practicing a hobby. These activities can help you shift your focus and find joy in the present moment. Strive to maintain good living habits, including regular exercise and a healthy diet. Small lifestyle changes can significantly improve your well-being. Additionally, take long drives or explore your local area to enjoy the outdoors and clear your mind.
Seeking Professional Help When Needed
If you are going through a depression stage, it is crucial to seek help from a professional. Consult with a psychiatrist or psychologist to receive guidance and monitoring. Do not delay or hesitate to take action. Your well-being is important, and professional help can provide you with the support and tools you need to navigate these challenging times.
Understanding and Coping with Emotional Hurt
I feel so hurt and numb. You can feel hurt possibly for 2 reasons: somebody else has done something wrong to you which you did not deserve, or you have done or instigated an action that resulted in you feeling hurt. In either case, please do understand that if someone else has done wrong it is their fault. They might apologize or feel like a winner when seeing you in pain. So have some courage and face them confidently.
Second, if you have done some proactive behavior and as a result, you are feeling hurt, then be thankful as you have come to know about the true weightage of the situation. This is a good thing because it happened now rather than taking more time and turning into a miserable experience.
When you find yourself feeling numb and unable to express emotions, take it slow and easy. Embrace this as a common situation that many people face and eventually overcome. With courage and mental strength, you too will emerge stronger from this phase.
Please do not hurt yourself for the mistakes that others have done to you. As I write this post, I am in tears. Tears are a natural release of mental pressure, so let them do their work and cleanse you.
What Should You Do Now?
The most crucial step is to get yourself occupied with something that makes you feel happy and fulfilled. Engage in activities that bring you joy, set goals for yourself, and work towards them with full focus. Remember, having no feeling of hatred towards the person who has hurt you is essential for your peace and well-being. Remember to love and care for yourself. Life is beautiful, and it is worth embracing it fully.
These strategies can help you find inner peace and start the journey towards healing. If you need any assistance or support, please do not hesitate to let us know.
Best Wishes.
