Boys are taught from childhood that the stronger sex should be patient, persistent, restrain emotions and persistently overcome difficulties. As they grow up, they try to behave in a way that meets these requirements. But a man may have a difficult, crisis situation - for example, because of big problems in his personal life, or at work. Especially if these problems poured down one after another, as if from a cornucopia. It is not easy to survive such a situation even for a persistent, strong-willed person. How to overcome the crisis?
Instructions
Step 1
A man should not stubbornly extinguish negative emotions, driving them deeper and diligently pretending that everything is fine. After all, this not only will not solve the problem, but can also lead to a number of diseases, including dangerous ones. Of course, one should not take out a bad mood on others, arrange scenes, scandals, fights. But some kind of relaxation is absolutely necessary for a person. You can speak out when meeting with a close friend, for example. There is nothing shameful in this, the main thing is that the friend understands and listens. Some men go to the gym to lose their energy.
Step 2
If possible, you should rest, change the environment. At least a short rest, new impressions can have a beneficial effect, relieve one of heavy thoughts. Ideally, it is better to go on a foreign tour. But resting in the country, in a sanatorium, hiking, walking in the woods or in the park will also help well.
Step 3
Self-hypnosis plays an important role. A man should convince himself: "Yes, now it is hard for me, but nothing irreparable has happened, everything will still be corrected." It is necessary to understand that a crisis is not death and not an incurable disease; with desire and diligence, it can be overcome.
Step 4
To prevent a crisis situation from leading to depression, it is vitally important for a man to get positive emotions wherever possible. Visiting theaters, museums, concerts, meeting friends - all this is a good distraction from thinking about your problems. Virtual communication in various forums and hobbies can also help.
Step 5
Much depends on the behavior of relatives and friends. They should show understanding, tolerance, not be offended by a man if, due to nervous tension, he does not behave in the best way, becomes hot-tempered, picky. At the same time, there is no need to indulge him or constantly sympathize with him. This will be a disservice. Close people should inspire a man with confidence in his strengths, abilities, that he will be able to find a way out of this situation. Do not feel sorry for him, because pity is a very bad feeling.
Step 6
And, of course, in no case should you seek solace in alcohol! A gross mistake is difficult to make. No need to delude yourself with assurances: “I’m just a little bit, just a little bit, just to relax and forget about the troubles”. This is the position of a weak-willed person. If the situation does not stabilize, the man continues to be depressed, you should visit a psychologist.
