When you are in physical pain, the way out is obvious - you go to the doctor who prescribes the necessary treatment for you, and the discomfort subsides. The situation with mental pain is much more complicated. People rarely turn to a psychotherapist in moments of despair, and more and more often try to drown out their experiences on their own.
Instructions
Step 1
Most people try to drown out their mental anguish with alcohol. It can help if you spend one evening with your best friend drinking wine and discussing your problem. The next morning, after intimate conversations, you should feel better. However, if you carry out such "treatment" regularly, another problem will be added to your problem - the problem of alcoholism.
Step 2
Go in for sports. During classes, endorphin is produced - the hormone of joy, and rhythmic repetitive actions help to distract from worries. In addition, after regular workouts, you will improve your figure, which will also cheer you up.
Step 3
Change your surroundings. Take a vacation and go to the resort where you have long dreamed of visiting. If you do not have such an opportunity - go for a weekend in another city. Do whatever it takes to get new experiences that will numb your heartache and distract you.
Step 4
Go headlong into work. Feel free to take on new projects, stay late after the end of the working day. If that's not enough for you, find yourself a hobby. Glue ship models, embroider. If you are constantly busy, you will not have time to think about your problems.
Step 5
Many people find solace in religion and spiritual practices. If you've never looked into this, try reading the Bible. Buddhism, with its system of rejection of desires, will also help you to look at your problem in a new way. Yoga, meditation - all this will help clear the mind of experiences.
Step 6
Meet new people. If you know that in your city there is a club of dog breeders, moviegoers, fans of detective stories Daria Dontsova, and you are interested in this topic - feel free to go to a meeting. Also, often go to concerts, exhibitions and other events held in your city.
