How to Deal with hurt and Pain
1. Try to put into words exactly how youâre feeling. Is it the pain of rejection? Is it an overwhelming feeling of shame and self-loathing? Is it a sense of disbelief that youâve been treated so cruelly by others? Is it a sense of utter desperation?
2. Try to find a way of expressing the pain. Sometimes we can tell the person who has hurt usâ but often we feel that they wonât be responsive. If that is the case, find someone you can open up to. Itâs really important that you have the chance to honestly express what youâre going through. If you feel thereâs no-one you can talk to right now, then perhaps try journaling, or using some kind of art, like music or painting.
3. If the painâs related to something that happened, admit that you canât go back and change the past. You need to let it go and keep your eyes ahead. You are not defined by what happened to you, and you have what it takes to live a rich, rewarding life.
4. Related to this, forgive yourself and donât hold on to regrets. Learn what you can â and then choose to move ahead. Donât be a victim of your past, or other people.
5. Reconnect with who you were previously. Think of who you might have been if this had never happened. You can still be that person: they are still a part of you.
6. Focus on the things that bring you joy and happiness, and focus on those people who love care for you.
