It happens, everything seems to be fine, and then something clicks and everything starts to change. At first you don’t pay attention, but your mood is somehow not very good in the morning, almost every day. And meditation already seems like a stupid activity, but you continue, you’re used to it. And then problems begin to pour in, seemingly simple, but they become difficult to solve. Yes, and there is no desire to somehow deal with all this. You seem to have everything under control. And this is where this “sort of” fails. And you begin to understand that events develop on their own, without your participation. And you can't understand why, this happens. You try to somehow turn the situation around, but it doesn’t work. And there are thoughts in my head. You think about a lot, but making decisions is scary. You feel that somehow everything is wrong, but you don’t understand what exactly. You make mistakes more and more often and have thoughts again. These thoughts literally drive you into a corner. Your mood is no longer bad, but very bad, and this is constant. You blame yourself for mistakes, you try to correct them, but it only turns out worse. You get angry, you freak out, but it doesn’t change anything. You get irritated and get worked up at the slightest provocation. It begins to seem that they are doing this all on purpose, to spite you, just to annoy you. Everything is annoying! And why doesn’t anyone see that you feel bad, really bad. You don't take it out yourself anymore. And then the fear appears that you are not doing what you should be doing. You feel like you're falling into some kind of black hole. And no way out, no light. There is such melancholy in my soul, even a wolf howling. And alcohol, company, and comedy no longer help. It's not funny, you feel disgusted with yourself. I feel so sick that I have no strength. And it begins to seem that it will always be like this. But it only seems like this, as any of us is experiencing a state of crisis. At such moments we really feel bad. And it's not just that our old ways of solving problems don't work, but also our internal changes. A crisis is a moment in life when you need to change, for your own good. And your beliefs must be replaced, which no longer help you, but hinder you. We need to reconsider our values ​​and principles, perhaps they should also be updated, not quite radically, of course, but significantly. And the sooner you start doing this, the easier you will survive the crisis. And also, then the crisis will not be able to break you. Practicing psychologist Anton Chernykh.
