Scott Pack, an American psychiatrist, describes in his book "Various Reflections" the student period of his life, when he attended a therapy group. He was then in a seriously depressed state and found a way to throw out his emotions and free himself from negative energy.
Carl Gustave Jung says that the behavior of neurotics and the behavior of healthy people is very difficult to distinguish. No wonder there is a saying "We are all a little horse." The fact is that neurosis arises depending on the strength of the human psyche and the power of the influence of stimulating factors. We never know what exactly will become the straw that breaks the camel's back. However, neurosis can go into one of three phases - deterioration of the situation with sometimes irreversible consequences; healing and returning to normal healthy life; higher creativity. So, if we take any serious creator, then we will find in him a whole bunch of mental disorders, the energy of which he translates into creativity.
And this is one of the very important and powerful methods of getting rid of a mental crisis - creativity. Writing texts can be a creative option. You are putting the accumulated suffering, unresolved issues, on paper. In a sense, this is average masochism, since at this moment you are experiencing special torment. It is as if you are opening an abscess on your body with a scalpel. But this action allows you to get rid of the accumulated irritation.
Take a sheet of paper or a laptop, a tablet - it doesn't matter. And write a few lines. Describe anything that annoys you. Just list point by point what at the moment worries you, makes you angry, infuriates you. When you lay out the annoying factors on paper, it will already become easier for you - as you will name your demons by their names, which prevent you from living in peace. And in magic, the one who knows the name of the demon can control it. Then take a rest and list anything that gives you joy, pleasure, or might bring relief. Allegorically speaking, these will be your angels. Even such a simple exercise can bring some comfort.
If you feel that the scripture calms you down and gives you the necessary relaxation, you can continue the treatment with the text. You can directly state on paper your sufferings, problems, list life difficulties. Or you can switch to fantasy and write a story or a sketch. You can go for a walk and record what you see, even if it is not an extraordinary event, but simply a description of the nature or behavior of people. Try to put on paper an event from the past or a fantasy about the future. What matters is not what genre or style you will write in, what matters is the very fact that you will do it - translate your thoughts into text.
Try it now and you will see that it becomes easier for you.
