Everything doesn't work out, and the world is painted in mourning colors… People don't understand, friends have turned their backs, family is annoying with complaints? And most importantly, there is no way out of this situation. A person designates his state as hopelessness. What is meant by this dreadful word?
No fatal decision
In the classical Christian tradition, this state is associated with the mortal sin of despondency. That is, in this situation, a person rejects hope in the Creator and prefers to quietly fade away, often refusing food. He is unable to sleep, unable to do daily activities. What he liked before is no longer happy. Doctors will say that this condition is called “depression”. Hopelessness? What can be done to end the pain? Do not suggest suicide! It does not solve problems, but only fixes the state of pain for all eternity. People who were saved after a suicide attempt said that they saw horrors, in comparison with which the earthly ones are a pitiful shadow and a slight sadness. They themselves in intensive care begged doctors to save themselves whensporadically regained consciousness.
Causes of the phenomenon
Even the loss of loved ones is not a reason to end your life, even if hopelessness torments you. What does this word mean, why even its sounding brings melancholy? It leaves the impression of a person who rushes from one gray door to another, but they are all closed. It's just a metaphor, but even that makes a lot of people uncomfortable. Hopelessness… What is depression that sucks strength out of a person? This is a violation at the biochemical level of the brain, which occurs either under the influence of internal causes, or due to unresolved external problems. Cancer sometimes appears at the site of a permanent injury. So depression begins if a person constantly sees no way out. Some people need little to get into this state, while others do not fall into it so quickly.
How to cope?
What can you do if the feeling of hopelessness does not want to leave you? First of all, support yourself physiologically - during the day, two servings of St. John's wort, in the evening - a serving of peppermint to calm down. Plus at least an hour of light physical activity - walking is fine. After 1-2 weeks, you will feel better, and the effect will be no worse than even after antidepressants, while without any side effects. When it becomes better physiologically, you need to increase the level of activity. Do you feel bad anyway? So let at least some benefit be from the days passing by. Force yourself to get out of the house and do your daily chores. The state of hopelessness is insidious, you can not let it suck you in. Realize that the harmful thoughts that enter your mind are often lies. There is even a teaching in Christianity that these external influences come from the dark forces. Therefore, believing every bad thought is wrong.
Try going to church for confession. This helps a lot of people, especially if the priest allows them to take communion. Reconciliation with conscience and God allows you to restore internal protection from the influence of negative beings, and you will see the long-awaited light, and higher powers will help you find the best solution in this situation.
