How to deal with your own sadness?
Each of us experiences loss in our lives. Grief is what we experience when we lose someone or something we cared about. We need to learn to deal with this grief when it affects us so much.
People grieve in the face of many situations, including the death of a loved one, divorce, leaving home, business, miscarriage, death of a pet, and more.
Grief can be expressed in many ways. We also have some physical problems from grief, such as sleep problems, stomach pains, increased food intake, weight gain, and weight loss. When we are sad, we sometimes experience anger or fear.
So how do we deal with grief?
- Keep a diary. When we record our thoughts and feelings in a journal, we feel a sense of relief, as if the negative energy in our hearts is transferred to the tip of the pen and notebook. When we look back at our journal, it also helps us to see ourselves in the third person and gain new feelings, thoughts, attitudes and emotions.
Talk to relatives. Talk to your loved one about how this made them feel. They also talk about their feelings, and when we are sad, we can feel the strength and recovery from their conversations with us.
Join a psychological support group. When we participate in group psychological activities, we will meet some people who have the same or similar experiences as us. We listen to their stories, hear their feelings, share our stories, share our feelings, so that we can gain the support of the group.
- Talk to a consultant. If you are unwilling to join a psychological group, or there is no suitable psychological group in your local area, you can choose to have a one-on-one conversation with a psychological counselor.
Remember, we can't rush things. If we want ourselves to go through one or two consultations, we can quickly become happy from the sad process, give ourselves more time, and believe that the difficult time will pass.
