How Can You Deal With Despair When You Suffer From It?

How can one describe despair? We can say that it is to have no hope, to feel an inner emptiness, to think that there is nothing left. To feel that you are in a desert and that all your efforts are in vain. How can we deal with the fact that we lack the strength to move forward. How can we deal with despair?

When you start to feel this, you start to doubt and you wonder why you should make an effort at all. Why should you keep getting out of bed every morning? People with this feeling feel that they can not do their job. They can not fulfill the obligations they have during the day, and they feel that the best solution might have been to give up and stop suffering.

Even despair can become one’s worst enemy, for this feeling puts a blindfold on us and takes away both our strength and our will to continue. It means that we can not see beyond the wall that shuts out the light. It whispers in our eyes that nothing will happen. That nothing will get better, that everything is over and that we must be content to live this way and become bitter. How, then, can one deal with despair?

Despair must be fought with patience; with work, but with great effort, with small steps, with small successes. With good people helping us to rise from the pit and see that there are still amazing things to live for and continue to fight for.

As our despair invades us, we should never be kind to this unwelcome guest. It came in, but the solution is to be smart and kick it out as soon as possible. This despair is smart and it knows our fears and it exploits them. If we learn to deal with our fears, our despair will have no food and it will end with it disappearing.

One can therefore use methods of emotion management to deal with despair. There are different types of methods. Some of them stop our negative thought cycles. Others make us better at choosing social and intellectual strategies.

You may not be able to see beyond what you have now that you are in the dark and it is difficult to see the light on the other side. But let us not forget that we ourselves can become a very powerful source of light. Despair always escapes from people who have devoted themselves to getting their minds in order.

This is the most important thing: you are more than your current situation. You have been through difficult situations and you have managed them. You can achieve very valuable goals. Our mind works with what happens to us, but it works more with what it thinks will happen. We are not only what we think, but we are also what we believe or what we are willing to believe.

We have been through very difficult situations before, but we have been through them. This has also led to us now having resources that make us stronger. We now have the opportunity to continue living in the present, but for the future we can create plans. Our dreams have a great power.

This is a method that is very easy to use, but at the same time it is difficult to maintain due to our fears and the times when happiness has turned its back on us. But it’s still worth it.

We remind ourselves of the people who have stayed by our side, even during the difficult periods, when we know and can admit that you are not always such a nice company. If they believe in us, then why should we not do this ourselves?

Let us see it this way: despair is always an illusion. An impossibility where we are blind to all alternatives that help us find an exit. However, it will escape when we are brave and dare to face our fears and feel confident even though we are afraid or have anxiety.
