how do you deal with emotional problems?

People in emotional pain often make three primary errors: (1) they believe that stressful life events are “no big deal,” and if hard times do occur, the pain should go away quickly. (2) They engage in a ruthless attack on their worth as human beings: “I shouldn’t feel this way.” “ I must be crazy.” “There’s something wrong with me.” (3) They compare their pain with that of other people: “It could be worse. Others suffer more.” Certain natural emotional healing processes and mechanisms exist within the human psyche. For example, something about crying promotes healing, yet, many people have learned early in life that they should not cry. For them, crying is a sign of weakness or inadequacy. But, an emotional loss not resolved, like any unhealed wound, may continue to be a source of tremendous (psychological) pain for many years to come. Certain amounts of pain can be tolerated, but beyond a certain point, pain can be overwhelming for everyone. Pop psychology has suggested that it’s good to “get in touch with your feelings,” however, caution is important. The unearthing of strong feelings must be done at the proper time, in a proper context of safety and trust, and at their own pace. Emotions are our main source of aliveness and – at times of severe stress – of tremendous human suffering, It’s healthiest to allow yourself to experience your feelings within your own “zone of emotional tolerance.” Characteristics of Emotional Health: 1. Ability to feel emotions deeply 2. Ability to identify and understand inner feelings and needs 3. Self-entitlement: it’s okay to feel good about yourself 4. Self-assertion: it’s okay to express yourself 5. Self-soothing: taking care of yourself 6. Capacity for intimate relationships 7. Commitment 8. Permission to be human, ordinary Very major events have lasting effects, however, with time and emotional healing, the anguish decreases in intensity and the memory of the painful event slips into the background. At some point, people start to feel “normal” again. During times of emotional crisis people can take steps to more successfully ride out emotional storms: to have others understand and accept your feelings, to find outlets for honest self-expression, to care for basic physical and emotional needs, to express or affirm your own inner beliefs and values. Three primary approaches have been shown to be quite effective in reducing some of the symptoms associated with life stress: changing unhealthy habits, relaxation, and appropriate use of medications. think of this thing positively and everything goes well.

If I have a bad emotion, maybe I will find some friends to have a drink. I think it is a good method to adjust my emotion. During the drinking, we will talk with each other, and I will tell them the problems in my heart, usually, they will give me the advice or help me to deal with the problems. If you don't drink, I think you can find some friends to talk with them. In a word, tell the problem to somebody, don't let the problem in your heart for a long time, when you speak them out, you will be fine.

It's bad enough having emotional problems. I tend to eat a lot when I feel depressed, as if it would help me solve things. It actually adds more pounds! But when I do have problems, I step back and be alone for a while. I think about my options. I know that I can only solve them head on but escaping problems is really too tempting. I also have to be in a quiet place. I would also cry my heart out , it helps.

Frankly speaking,there is a knot in my heart for a long time. I want to share a story with you: I have a brother-in-low of the same age with me,and he is very cleve.Compared with him, i was spoony. The people around me often compare me with him.I was a guly ducking in their eyes. I don`t say a word at all,and just say to myself "i will not a guly ducking forever". Today i am a postgraduate in the upc ,china.But i still don`t want to say now. who can tell you what i should do now? sos sos

they say that emotional pain is more painful than physical pain. because in physical pain, there are cures and remedies for it, but for emotional pain, there isn't. only the mind can help you with that. but it's not all the time that it would completely heal, because it would still leave a scar within you. it helps to be with family and friends when dealing with emotional problems. though they may not take the pain away, they will help you lighten up a bit.

I am an emotional person. But oh my God! I never think to try to hurt or to kill myself. That will be the greatest insane thing to do..I try a self meditation and just think other side of your personality that happiness will able to exist. Think positive and don't lose hope in life.

well normallly i would laugh my way through if i am sad yea.

well a bullys victum all through school iv had some emotionable problems i take several meds right now that help me when i get angry or axcius things like that im also depresed and that dont help anything................. so tell your friend that she is not going through this alone that always helped me when people told me that

Physical pain is always going to be easier to deal with, and I think it is also easier for other people to deal with someone with a physical problem. My wife has suffered from a mental illness for over 12 years, and we have both seen people who don't believe she is sick because she has no physical signs. As she said, if she had a broken leg, she'd have a cast on and others could tell she had something wrong. Even though there is greater awareness of mental illness nowadays, there is still a stigma attached, which makes it so much harder for the sufferer.

Hi there Migenkc! I think that it depends upon the degree of the pain. But with the same degree, emotional or physical, I think it would be easier to bear the physical kind. When you're physically hurt, you know where the pain is coming from. You can concentrate on treating that particular part to lessen or take away the pain. But when it's emotional, it's all over you. Inside your bones, in your blood, inside your soul. My childhood is a happy one even though I came from a broken family, I was happy thanks to the super tight family ties of my relatives.

Yup.. Emotional pain can only be cured with time.. And no pains can be as painful as emotional pain.. Emotional pain will have a scar inside us as well as outside of us.. BUt hurting oneself is definitely not the way to make oneself feel better.. It's the wrong way and will only make things worse.. For me, my way will be thru exercises and running.. Or just be alone for a few days, and sleeping.. ANd it works for me..

Hey there by smoking mainly a

yes, emotional pain is much more difficult to deal with. it is so confusing. And yes, emotional issues have lead me to be the person I am today. but I think I have taken those experiences and learned from them. I think people like serial killers take their pain and bury it deep inside instead of dealing with it, and thats what makes them crazy. Someone once told me that cutting themselves was like giving themselves a high. It was addicting pain, and was better to feel than to focus on what they were feeling inside.

weh. i, at my side, just listen to my kind of music. cry? nah. razor? lol, definitely not my style. food is an option for me. ^^, and friends, and hang-outs.

If my problem has got to do with my emotional feelings, it would surely be my down moment. I had experiences before regarding this and it really was hard to get through it. There was one time I cried and cried everyday. When I go to school, suddenly there were tears on my cheek. I had nobody to lean to, to talk to, as in nobody. I was still young then but I was in college already. One night, I can't held on it anymore. I wanted to scream, to cry out loud but I can't. I went out of apartment and stayed outside. I was standing at the gate, walking back and forth. You know why I did that? Because if I stayed in my room, I might do somthing bad on myself. That was actually the lowest point I had in my life, as far as I can remember. When you're emotionally down, you just have to let it out. Cry if you want to. If you don't want to talk or share it to others, then don't. It's bad when it's too much inside you and you can't seem to breathe. Let it all out.

I always watch funny movies thats what i do to stop thinking about the problem or whatever things that upsets me.. I dont want to just sit and cry coz it happened already.. I always waNt to laugh it out and relax.

Self hypnosis is the best way to get rid of physical + emotional pain. Its easy to do that..

well good thing i never had a bad memory during my childhood days, though i always get rejection. but it's really depends on the person's family, how her/her parents guide her/him in his/her growth...

nah...emotional pain is really hard to ease...especially when it really hurts deep inside your heart and mind... i'll just hope that individuals who find emotional pain may just pray to the LORD and everything may be alright... TRUST GOD...confess and pray that the pain may take away thus its a burden in living healthy and happy life.... @jam@ ~k33p saf3~

emotional pain is way more worse than physical pain... i suck at dealing with it... i think imma emo but i dont cut myself... i just beat myself up. :( yes definitely... childhood and environment i was brought up in influenced this a lot. come to think about it... nothing has changed. it still sucks
