Ways To Endure Painful Feelings

By Janice Hudson


We all live because of our emotions. Sometimes we feel happiness while at other times we feel pain. There are a lot of emotions that we have to deal with everyday and it is in these emotions that we tend to live each day right. Yet, for some reason, there are instances that we feel pain all the time. You begin to ask yourself how can I get through such pain and what can I do to get out? Here are some of the things you can do.

Feeling emotional pain is normal for a human being. Everyday, we feel the bout of pain that a person has done to us and yet we are still alive. People experience and perceive pain in different ways. An experience that is painful for you might not be painful for others.

List down the things that you are thankful for and this should include the hardships as well as the pain you are feeling right now. Be thankful and learn to appreciate life as well as pain as it is a full circle. We all feel pain and yet it is in that pain that we tend to become stronger.

Identify the feelings of pain and other emotions. Are you in an emotional pain because you have broken up with someone or are you feeling sad because someone close to you have recently passed away? Recognize these feelings and appreciate it.

Time is the only cure for the pain you are feeling right now and nothing else. As stated above, you can never treat your pain with a simple shot of alcohol. Only time has that power. Forgive yourself and forgive the person who has done this to you and you are on your way to getting better.

When it feels like you are about to give in to your emotions, grab the phone and have your friend or family over and talk to them. They will be able to give you advise on how you can deal with the pain and will always be there to help you go through such pain.

Stay away from blaming others or yourself from the pain you are feeling. Blaming will only makes matters worse and in fact, it will cause more problems with your relationship towards others. No one should be blamed for your pain not even yourself.

Do not let the pain consume your entire being. Let it not dictate who you really are as a person because each and every person has the right to be happy. No one in this world would want to feel sad and alone all the time.
