Hi all, today I would like to share about the interesting topic, namely "How to not feel desperate when my feeling is going to be numb", the main reason why I choose that topic because many people feel desperate until they don't know what to do, Most of them just do what they think is fun and they don't think about the consequences of their wishes, I understand that humans cannot be free from desires, but we as humans have a tendency not to follow our desires, we can tame our wild minds by delaying our gratification, The biggest source of human problems is making desires a measure of happiness, all of which are wrong assumptions, in fact is The more we indulge our unstoppable desires, the more frustrated and desperate we become when we don't have the resources to access, feeling desperate and emotionally numb can be overwhelming, but there are steps you can take to manage and address these emotions:
1. Acknowledge Your Feelings
✅Recognize that numbness or desperation is your mind's way of coping with stress or overwhelming emotions. Allow yourself to feel without judgment.
2. Practice Grounding Techniques
✅Use grounding exercises to reconnect with the present moment:
✅Focus on your breath. Inhale deeply for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, exhale for 6 seconds.
✅Engage your senses: Notice 5 things you can see, 4 you can touch, 3 you can hear, 2 you can smell, and 1 you can taste.
3. Talk to Someone
✅Share your feelings with someone you trust, like a friend, family member, or therapist. Sometimes, verbalizing your emotions can help reduce their intensity.
4. Engage in Activities You Enjoy
✅Even if you feel unmotivated, try to engage in activities you usually enjoy or find comforting, such as listening to music, painting, reading, or walking in nature.
5. Practice Self-Compassion
✅Be gentle with yourself. Remind yourself that it's okay to feel this way and that these feelings are temporary.
6. Get Moving
✅Physical activity, even something as simple as stretching or a short walk, can help release tension and improve your mood.
7. Journal Your Thoughts
✅Writing down your feelings can help you process them and identify patterns or triggers for your numbness or desperation.
8. Seek Professional Help
✅If these feelings persist or worsen, consider reaching out to a mental health professional. Therapy can provide tools and support to navigate emotional numbness and despair.
9. Connect with Others
✅Isolation can deepen emotional numbness. Try to spend time with loved ones or join support groups where you can share and feel understood.
10. Focus on Small Steps
✅When everything feels overwhelming, focus on one small thing you can control or accomplish. This can help restore a sense of agency and hope.
Remember, feeling numb or desperate is often a sign that you need to prioritize self-care and healing. You are not alone, and support is available, My advice to those of you who still feel alone, "remember, that desires are not always fulfilled because human desires are limitless", What we need to observe are our daily needs first, not desire, daily needs are different with desire, desire is always demanding us to fulfill but we can stop the process if we behave strictly with it, so our main duty is we must fulfill our daily need, such as sleeping 6 hours, eating nutritious food, drinking at least 2.5 liters per day, pay electrical bill, pay phone bill, pay water bill, and education.
The last thing we need to do if we want to free from our desperately life is forgiving our ignorance and learn how to contribute more than our expectations.
