7 PROVEN WAYS TO DEAL WITH PAIN

Pain has never been easy..it has always been a difficult pill to swallow. Writing about pain itself has made me realise that no amount of words can fully express how pain feels and what pain is. If you doubt me, ask a Lady who just lost her baby or a man who just got robbed.

Some forms of pain

Yes, pain comes in different forms. Pain can be psychological, physical and emotional.

The psychological pain is one of the most difficult types to deal with. One might need constant assistance from eitger a psychiatrist or a psychologist depending on the intensity of the pain. Psychological pain although creates inner turmoil, it is still noticed physically and it results in emotional trauma.

Emotionally hurt people can be difficult to deal with or relate with especially when such people are not ready to heal. Take for instance a lady mourning her husband or child.

The longer you stay alive, the more you realise that pain is a phenomenon that virtually everyone on earth has to undergo at some points. It doesn't only mean physical pain but psychological and emotional. Physical pain, compared to the other forms hurts less. Most people would rather break their bones and endure the pain than lose loved one right?

7 proven ways to deal with pain

Nothing lasts forever, this is why from experience I have been able to summarize how I believe one can get over pain in this 7 points:

.1. Accept that something happened to you and you are not the only one having to deal with pain.

It is usually good when one accepts bad situations and pain instead of denying or pretending it never occurred. Accepting helps you to heal faster.

Most people going through pain tend to act as if they are being specially punished. No! the sun shines on the bad and the good, bad things happen to good people sometimes.

2. Talk about it
but only when you are ready. Do not rush things or allow yourself to be rushed, take your time.

3. Let yourself be vulnerable.

Be open and allow friends to help you. Worthy and reasonable friends I mean, there has to be someone you can trust and if there isn't , well talk to God

4. Do not mask the pain

I know a friend who goes into the bush or open space to scream out loud each time she is angered , pained or vexed. She comes back feeling better, that works for her. Find out what works for you. Alcohol is not and has never been an option!

5. Do what you love , keep yourself busy

This helps you occupy your mind and you think less of your sorrows. There has to be something productive you love doing which also gives you joy

In conclusion
Patience and endurance works, having good people around helps too and be ready to heal.
