With physical pain, everything is simple: there are painkillers, and there are doctors. But what if the soul hurts?
Instructions
Step 1
There can be many reasons for mental pain. We take offense, engage in self-criticism, worry about our relatives and friends, we face rudeness and betrayal - and the whole body reacts to this whole body with a sharp, piercing pain, hotly spreading through all tissues, aching, piercing, from which we want to scream. It seems that it is impossible to calm it down, only after a while the pain will dull a little and it will be possible to forget about it for periods.
Step 2
In fact, you can deal with mental pain. Oddly enough, but the usual pain reliever that we take for headaches, for example, can help. If you can't stand it, you can take a pill of an anesthetic and a mild sedative, for example, motherwort or valerian. If possible, wrap yourself in a blanket, drink herbal tea (chamomile, mint, sage, raspberry leaves, strawberry tails - your choice, whichever is more to your taste) and sleep. Sleep is good medicine.
This is not a panacea, and the pain, of course, will not go away so immediately, on click, but it will make it possible to soberly assess the situation. Unfortunately or fortunately, but we cannot explain the motives of other people's actions. Therefore, there is no need to try. Don't get hung up. Yes, an event happened that we took to heart, hurt, offended a loved one, or our own unworthy act haunts. But the situation has already developed that way. And we must accept her as she is. Look not for reasons or guilty ones.
Step 3
Accept the pain and let it be, cry if you feel like it, do not hold back the tears. “After despair, peace comes,” said the great Anna Akhmatova. Try it, it will get easier.
When a void is formed, it requires immediate filling - this is the law of physics. An evening with friends, a holiday in honor of a good day, arranged with the children, no matter how trite it sounds - shopping, even without leaving your home, will help you to get distracted and have fun.
Draw, sculpt, bake pies, cook borscht, shoot, go to the forest for a week, in a company, with tents, visit a theater or an exhibition - ask yourself what you want right now. Share the pain, even on a piece of paper - take a pen and write what you feel.
Step 4
And do not expect that everything will pass soon - mental wounds heal for a long time. Just remember that life is wonderful no matter what happens in it. There is always a way. If, despite all efforts, the pain is still unbearable, you can seek help from a specialist - a good psychologist will give advice that suits a particular person in a particular situation.
