Sore throat hurts to swallow, how to treat? Latest requests for help What to do if you hurt someone.

In the most severe illnesses We also need the strongest means, precisely applied.(Hippocrates)

Pain is something that everyone is familiar with. Pain can be different: physical and internal or mental (in psychology such pain is called psychalgia). Any pain is heaviness, torment, suffering. We perceive pain as cruel punishment, injustice, evil... This is what we want to stop.

So how can we stop it?

How to deal with pain?

First, let's admit that pain is not evil. Pain is our hardwired last resort to force us to take care of ourselves. We wouldn't live to see today if there was no pain.

If there was no pain, then we would not feel tooth decay, and then we would lose all our teeth.

If there were no pain, then no one would think of treating bruises, fractures, internal diseases. This means that we would only live until the first serious illness. If we didn’t feel pain, we wouldn’t understand that something was wrong with our body, and we wouldn’t go to specialists for help.

The pain is ours most faithful assistant, which protects our lives, our well-being. Pain warns worst consequences, drawing our attention to the fact that something is wrong with us and demands that we fix them.

How to react to pain?

What would you say if you saw a picture like this... A person who bought a new expensive car, equipped with a good alarm system, wakes up at night because the alarm system is screaming throughout the yard. Without finding out the reason, he begins to scold the alarm. In his opinion, it is the alarm system that is to blame, which does not allow him to sleep. Not the thieves who break into the car, not he himself, who out of laziness does not want to go out and look or call the police, but the alarm system! Of course, we will consider such a person not particularly smart (to say the least).

Or another situation... A person suffers pain, despite the fact that everyone around him recommends urgently seeing a doctor. He himself believes that only pain bothers him. At first he tolerates it, then tries to drown it out with painkillers. The pain continues to intensify, but in the end it turns out that if he had contacted him right away, the doctor would have helped him avoid serious consequences for the body. Now unpleasant consequences is obvious. Is this person smart?

Oh, how we ourselves are like these characters when we suffer from mental pain! Unfortunately, we often do not want to see the reasons for our mental pain. For some reason, we stupidly endure, suffer, suffer, reach despair (even suicide), try in different ways to drown out the pain, we try to fight it, to forget ourselves, but... we don’t hear its signal, we don’t correct its cause.

People whose mental pain is so great that they want to free themselves from this pain by committing suicide are like those who struggle with alarms and fuses, not with the real reason. They believe that one can be freed from mental pain by destroying the body. It’s not the body that hurts! It’s the same as if a person has a stomach ulcer and he tries to cure it by amputating his leg!..

So what's wrong when your soul hurts?

A normal person understands that it is not pain itself that prevents us from living, but the reason that causes this pain. Therefore, when something hurts in our body, we try to understand the location of the pain and find its cause. If there is hope that the cause can correct itself, we wait, endure, taking painkillers, and if we understand that the cause remains and the pain does not go away, then we go to the doctor and get treatment diagnostic test, and with the help of an appropriate specialist we correct this reason. If your kidney hurts, we go to a urologist, if your throat hurts, go to an otolaryngologist, if your stomach hurts, go to a gastroenterologist, if your heart hurts, go to a cardiologist. And who should you turn to if your soul hurts?

When the body hurts, we understand that from the nerve endings at the point where the disease is localized, a signal about trouble comes to the corresponding part of the brain.

Where and where does the signal come from in case of mental pain? Have you ever thought about this?

No? Why? This is worth thinking about carefully...

Maybe the signal arrives in the brain in an unknown way? Maybe it comes to the heart, because sometimes it hurts from worry? May be, solar plexus is the center of spiritual pain?

Alas. Science decisively and unequivocally states that human consciousness is not localized in the body. That is, no clot nerve cells, even the brain, cannot and does not perform the function of what we call human consciousness. In the near future, our article on this topic will be posted on the website with links to many authoritative sources of high and impartial science.

Therefore, if you are a purely materialist and completely deny the existence of the soul, the invisible world and everything connected with it, we can make you happy: it means that nothing hurts you. Because according to science, material body there is no consciousness, which means there can be no mental pain. Therefore, you can now begin to rejoice - just as materially as you suffer - and finish reading this article.

Psychology - a science whose very name contains recognition of the existence of the soul (psyche - soul, logos - to know) - lost a lot when it abandoned the very concept of the soul. That is, it sets itself the task of treating the soul, which it has ceased to recognize, but has not introduced any other reasonable understanding of the soul. The situation is simply absurd. How can you treat an organ if you don’t recognize it and don’t know anything about it? Therefore, traditional psychology almost always throws up its hands in the case of mental pain. With the help of modern pharmacological drugs you can reduce the intensity of the pain of the soul, with the help of psychotherapeutic techniques, distract from the pain, learn to live with it, certain time even this pain to drown out, but despite the vast experience accumulated over a century and a half, modern psychology does not have the opportunity to influence the eradication of the cause leading to this severe pain.

Why does the soul hurt? (Let's say right away that we do not consider cases of severe mental illness- schizophrenia, etc., - which occur in suicide victims in approximately 20% of cases.)

Just as the body hurts because we damage it in some way or do not give it what it needs, so does the soul. What does the soul need?

One of the modern priests writes:

“It is well known that ignoring the deepest aspirations of the human spirit gives rise to that very distortion of human nature, which is traditionally called sin - the source of disease. Therefore, the most important thing for a sick person is reconciliation with God, restoration of trampled or lost manifestations of the human spirit. Reconciliation with God is repentance, this awareness of one’s sin, awareness of responsibility for one’s life, for the state into which a person has driven himself and the desire, the thirst to begin new life, reconciling with God and asking Him for forgiveness.

Since ancient times, the Church has always associated illness with the internal state of a person, with human sin. Therefore, the basis Church Sacrament Blessing of oil for the healing of the sick is a prayer for the forgiveness of sins. And regardless of whether we resort to the Sacrament of Anointing, or we are going to be treated, the first thing we must start with is awareness of our responsibility, awareness of our sin and the will of God for you to be healthy.”

Sin is not a fashionable word. Perhaps because people who are far from the Church understand by it a violation of some rules, the observance of which is required of us by God, and not at all by ourselves. After all, the motto of our time is “take everything from life.” And here for some reason they demand something from us. Of course, we can’t like this...

In fact, sin is a crime against own soul. If you compare it with the body, it’s like not feeding your body, like cutting it with a knife, hammering nails into it, pouring acid on it. God in in this case similar to good doctor, who stands next to medical instruments and drugs at the ready, and asks us to quickly stop self-torture and come to him so that he can cure us.

If you observe yourself, every person can notice how unpleasant it becomes in his soul when he does something bad. For example, he will get angry with someone, become cowardly, upset someone, take a bribe, not give someone what he asks for, or cheat on his wife. As such actions accumulate, it becomes harder and harder for the soul. And we forget what real, pure, childish joy is. We are trying to replace joy with primitive pleasures. But they don’t make you happy, they only dull you. And the soul dries up and hurts more and more...

And when something happens important event in our life - for example, some great loss, it does not even occur to us that the enormous pain that has befallen us is somehow connected with our mistakes. But that's exactly how it is. Pain in various crises of human relationships is caused by our vindictiveness, or hatred, or vanity. Pain when breaking love relationship would be many times less if the relationship itself were not overshadowed by resentment and selfishness. Pain at death loved one is aggravated by murmuring against God. And so on.

The conclusion is the following: mental pain signals to us that something is wrong with the soul, perhaps we have wounded our soul somewhere and must correct ourselves.

Where is the pain of the soul treated?

If we have never dealt with our soul, believing that spiritual life consists of visiting theaters and reading novels, then we need help in treating mental pain, we cannot cope on our own.

Where to run when your soul hurts? Where to go for help?

Of course, it’s better to go to a place where you can definitely get treatment. This should be a place that has proven treatment traditions, tools and conditions for treatment, and most importantly, millions of cured patients.

In fact, we have already named the main and only Doctor of mental pain above. I have seen hundreds of people healed from heartache. And all of them were completely cured in only one place and only with a single Doctor. This hospital is the Church, and Chief Physician in it is the Lord God!

This Doctor, who does not treat for money, He does it selflessly and with great love. This Doctor is waiting for those who feel bad, because He is always ready to lend a helping hand. He doesn't have days off or lunch breaks. He is always ready to begin healing your soul.

This Doctor treats not with fake ones, but with eternally living, proven and very effective medications. He never refused to help anyone, but He will not force Himself on you, He will not persuade you to be treated by Him, because this Doctor respects your freedom and choice, and He does not need advertising. This Doctor simply sincerely wants to help you because he loves you. He is counting on your trust in Him and your fulfillment of His instructions.

If you still have little trust and therefore are still afraid to turn to Him, remember that you are not risking anything. You can commit suicide even after only a year of spiritual life. After all, you still have nothing to lose.

How does God heal heartache?

We have already found out that pain is caused by violations of the needs of the soul. This means that this pain must be treated by satisfying these needs.

Do not believe that the lists of human needs that are widely spread and practically canonized by populist psychologists (the most famous of them is Maslow’s pyramid), including self-realization, recognition, social status, communication, affection - this is really what a person needs. Even if you score 100 out of 100 according to this list, you will not be happy. Because happy is the one who satisfies the needs of the soul. And they differ from the mentioned list.

The main and only need of the soul is actually love. And God is love. Drawing closer to God increases love. Moving away from God through sins reduces love and increases mental pain.

This means that the soul does not need some little things. She needs God Himself. Only He can satisfy her needs.

And He is ready to give Himself to us. He wants to give himself to us and through this save us from pain and enlighten our souls with love.

Prayer is compared to the breath of the soul or food for the soul. Those who prayed experienced the truth of these comparisons for themselves. Science has not been able to touch or measure the substance that enters the soul during prayer. The Church calls this substance grace. Prayer is the fastest healer of mental pain.

An equally necessary source of grace for a person is the communion of the body and Blood of Christ. This article is not theological. We only want to show you the only true way to heal your soul from its pain. Therefore, regarding the great miracle of communion, we will only say that the fruits of this miracle are undoubted and tangible. Many people I know got rid of the most difficult illnesses after taking communion. psychological disorders, body diseases, despair, depression, and once, almost before my eyes, a woman recovered from melanoma (very aggressive malignant tumor). Communion is preceded by the healing sacrament of repentance - confession. During confession, a person is forgiven all his confessed sins. It’s as if all the nails that he stuck into it are removed from his soul, and all the wounds he inflicts on himself are healed. A person's conscience becomes clear. Do you still remember how good it feels when your conscience is clear?

One can be satisfied with the short-term effect, the successful survival of a certain crisis. But then a new crisis will soon come. Perhaps heavier than before. If you do not want to experience pain, if you want to live in love and joy, you need to take care of your soul constantly.

You need to train yourself to give the soul what it needs and not do what hurts it. To do this you need to change your habits.

This is a long process that requires constant attention and effort. But as you, with the help of the Doctor, find your mistakes and correct them in the depths of your soul, the heaviness will leave you, a feeling of true joy will fill your soul.

The main work will be done not by you, but by this unappreciated, omniscient, loving Doctor. All you have to do is accept this wonderful gift of healing.

If you want to be physically healthy, you must follow the rules of hygiene. If you want to be healthy mentally, then you also need to observe your hygiene standards). As Professor Zurab Kekelidze, Deputy Director of the State scientific center social and forensic psychiatry named after V.P. Serbsky: “There is such a thing as mental hygiene. Don't do anything that violates mental health! Read the Ten Commandments - everything is written there! We don’t know the laws, we do a lot of stupid things.”

This is evidenced by the experience of generations who lived before us. They understood this well, saw it, felt the results, and passed it on to their children.

And don’t scold the pain, don’t complain about it, don’t suffer, but go treat it.

Previous conversation

Many women ask the question: “It hurts to write, what should I do?” Most likely the reason for this is cystitis, an inflammatory process in the bladder. What to do if it hurts to write, and how to prevent these symptoms, is described in the article.

Pain and burning when urinating are unpleasant and painful symptoms, which every girl has experienced at least once in her life. What to do if it hurts to write? You should read the recommendations of specialists.

To take measures to treat the disease that causes such unpleasant symptoms, the causes of the disease should be identified and the correct diagnosis made. According to statistics, the most common cause of pain when urinating is cystitis - a disease of the bladder and urethra caused by bacteria.

Female representatives suffer from cystitis much more often, which is explained by the special structure of the urinary system. The urethra of women is smaller than that of men; therefore, pathogenic bacteria penetrate into it more easily. bladder, causing an inflammatory process.

This disease requires timely drug treatment, otherwise it may develop into chronic form or call serious complications, for example, lead to pyelonephritis. Early diagnosis cystitis allows you to most effectively cope with pathogenic bacteria in urinary system. Main symptoms of the disease: cutting pains at the end of urination, frequent urge to urinate, pink urine, possibly bloody or purulent discharge in urine. In especially severe cases, with renal failure or sepsis, for example, chills, fever, and pain in the side are likely.

Being in a stable state, the urinary tract does not contain any microorganisms and is sterile due to the natural bactericidal properties of urine. However, pathogenic bacteria can enter from the outside, through the urethra or through the blood. As a result, in addition to cystitis, the following may occur: infectious diseases: urethritis, ureaplasmosis, gonorrhea, candidiasis, veseculitis and others. Medical term“cystitis” characterizes inflammatory processes in urinary tract caused by the activity of pathogenic microorganisms.

Cystitis in pregnant women requires special attention. In this case, the pain is caused by the fact that the uterus puts pressure on the bladder, which prevents its complete emptying. Accordingly, stagnant urine causes the proliferation of infections and the appearance of an inflammatory process.

People suffering urolithiasis, also systematically cystitis and pain in the bladder.

When answering a common female question: “It hurts to write, what should I do? ", experts recommend consulting a doctor who will identify the causes and prescribe appropriate drug treatment. If for any reason, contact medical care If this is not possible, a number of standard measures should be taken to solve the problem.

If the pain is not too pronounced, you can limit yourself to douching with a decoction of chamomile or a gynecological preparation. It is also recommended to warm up bottom part abdomen and directly the genitals. You can use a heating pad or at least lie in a warm bath for 10-20 minutes.

You should also increase the volume of fluid consumed - up to 2-3 liters per day. Excessive urination will help to naturally flush the urethra. However, one should prefer clean water tea, coffee and alcoholic drinks. During treatment of the infection, it is recommended to limit the consumption of calcium-containing foods - milk, cheese, eggs, cottage cheese.

To get rid of burning sensation when urinating, you should drink a glass of water with soda (1/2 teaspoon) every three hours. This solution neutralizes the acid contained in the urine and causes pain. If these measures did not help to heal and turned into more severe symptoms, you should start taking medications - antibiotics and painkillers.

To diagnose the disease, the doctor will prescribe tests for the presence of infection and inflammation. IN advanced cases Surgery may be required.

To avoid the occurrence of cystitis, you should follow preventive recommendations, which will avoid the development of the inflammatory process in the urinary system.

So, you should empty your bladder as often as possible, since in many cases, restraining natural urges becomes the cause of the disease. Must be carefully observed intimate hygiene– wash your face daily, douche with chamomile decoction weekly. You should wear underwear made from natural cotton fabrics, avoid wearing synthetics and clothes that are too tight. Immediately after sexual intercourse, it is recommended to urinate to “wash” bacteria from the urethra before they multiply. If cystitis recurs from time to time, you should prefer a bath - a shower or a bidet, which will make the washing process more effective. After urination and while washing the genitals, wipe the genitals from the outside to the inside to prevent the entry of bacteria from anus into the urethra.

No-shpa and suppositories with papaverine will help get rid of pain. Help eliminate the causes of the disease pharmaceuticals– Nolitsin, Biseptol, Monural.

When treating cystitis, you should follow a diet, drink healthy natural herbal teas based on lingonberry leaves, cranberries, and blueberries. Herbal infusions They are also available in tablet form, for example – Canephron, Phytolysin, Cyston and others.

Every person experiences many different emotions every day. And if everything is very clear with positive ones, then sometimes it is very difficult for a person to fight negative ones. That is why in this article I would like to talk about how to cope with mental pain.

What is it

At the very beginning, it must be said that the very concept of “soul” is very abstract. This is a certain substance that has no color, no smell, no weight. However, it is precisely this that is the entire basis of human life, the engine of the body, its leader. Here it must be said that such concepts as mental health, injury or mental pain are also very abstract. After all, something that does not even have a form cannot hurt. However, probably every person living on planet Earth has experienced such feelings at least once in their life. is a very complex and dangerous thing, because it cannot be dealt with in a short time with the help of tablets or special medicinal procedures(as in the case of physical pain). It takes time and a certain set of actions.

Components of mental pain

I would also like to say that any emotional experience (according to modern psychologists) consists of several simple elements:

1. Emotions.
2. Thoughts.
3. Unpleasant sensations or discomfort in the body.
4. Visual images (ideas, certain pictures before the eyes).

If a person’s soul hurts, what should he do? It often occurs logical question. After all, no one wants to suffer extra time and spend in difficult thoughts. The first piece of advice is: time heals. And that's true. This truth has been known since time immemorial. The ancient doctors treated all kinds of emotional distress solely with time (and labor). A person needs some time to get enough of his experiences. At this hour it is necessary to think carefully about everything, to live through past events again. You need to feel your pain one more time - the last time. Only then can a feeling of completion emerge. Often after this, people begin to let go of their problem, gradually saying goodbye to it. Time will pass, and not a trace will remain of the worries. This should always be remembered when looking to the future and not to the past.

However, there is one “but” in this advice. When figuring out how to cope with mental pain, you can’t get too caught up in your problem. After all, she can “drag” you into her network for a long time. If the condition does not improve within a week, then you need to seek outside help. After all, this way you can gradually drive yourself into long-term depression, which is very, very difficult to cope with.

My soul hurts! What to do, how to help yourself? Why not seek outside help? In this case, there are several ways to get out of a negative state. The first and probably most important is the help of a psychologist. Based on just a couple of conversations, a specialist will be able to understand his patient’s problem and help him find a way out of the current situation. Attention: you need to remember that no one will solve the problem better than its owner. There is no need to hope that a psychologist will solve all the issues that trouble your soul. Not at all, he will show ways out of the situation. Next, you will have to act independently. The next option for getting out of a difficult mental situation is the help of parents or others. It is worth remembering that no one except the dearest and dearest people can help better. Mom, dad, sister, brother, aunts and uncles - these are the individuals who sincerely worry and will try to do everything to help their relative. You should always seek help from your relatives, because they often give very good advice. And the last way to calm emotional distress and feelings is to turn to friends for help. These are the people who, most likely, will not delve into the past, but will open their eyes to the present (especially if we're talking about about youth). Only good comrades can spin around in the whirlwind of the day without giving their friend a moment's respite. Study, fun, self-discovery, cinema, exhibitions, discos... There is simply no time left for self-flagellation and unnecessary worries. And there time will pass, and everything will gradually calm down and be forgotten.

A few words about medications

How else can you help yourself if your soul hurts, what to do in such a situation? So, sometimes you can hear simple advice: you need to take certain medications. These are so-called antidepressants or simply anti-anxiety drugs. But this advice very dangerous. The thing is that prescribing any medications yourself is very, very dangerous. This can have an extremely negative impact on your health. Antidepressants should be prescribed exclusively by the treating doctor after a specific examination and diagnosis of the disease. Here we need to clarify: there are not so many mental problems for which medications help. You need to learn to cope with everything yourself, without the influence of foreign chemicals.

A few words about relaxers

Many people can talk about how to get rid of mental pain. After all, the most often used method is to take various relaxing agents. It could be alcohol, soft drugs. Undoubtedly, on short period they can bring relief by clouding the mind. But this is absolutely not a way out difficult situation. After all, the next day the sensations return, and this is also mixed with heavy physical condition. So it gets doubly worse. In addition, taking the above-described drugs negatively affects a person, and in some cases leads to addictions, which are oh so difficult to cope with.

If a person’s soul hurts, what should he do to cope with this condition? So you need to talk about your problem. However, opening up to a person, even a close one, is not always easy or simple. In this case, a journal is perfect. You need to try to pour out all your feelings and experiences on paper. You need to take notes at a time when it is very bad. You will have to write for at least a week. Next, you will need to re-read everything. After reading what is written, a lot can become clearer. Some things will seem funny, but some things will be easy to get rid of. It is worth remembering that by looking at the problem from the outside, you can better understand it and clarify some points for yourself.

How to calm down negative emotional feelings? You need to try to forget about the problem that worries you. This will require a little work. Namely, get rid of everything that reminds you of your difficult past. For example, if you break up with your loved one, you will have to throw away or give away all the gifts and destroy photos together. There should be nothing left in the environment that can cause pain or memories.

The next tip on how to get rid of mental pain is to do what you love. You need to do everything to simply not remember your problem. Creativity is the best way to do this. Embroidery, drawing, cycling, music - these are the things you simply cannot imagine without. normal life. Taking up your time completely, negative thoughts and despondency there is simply not enough time.

If a person is suffering from various mental sufferings, you can try volunteering. In this case, you need to go to the nearest public organization and offer yourself as an assistant at free of charge. In this case, you can talk about the reasons for such an action. In this case, the person may be sent to various meetings where people share their problems. After listening to the stories of others, he can make a simple conclusion that his problem is not so terrible and that it can be dealt with. After all, there are more complex and terrible situations. At the same time, by helping people, you can greatly assert yourself, realizing that you are also very useful to society and other people. And such thoughts have a very beneficial effect on the process of recovery from mental suffering.

What to do if a person has a strong mental wound? You can try to deal with it in a similar way. For example, if the cause of suffering is a breakup with a loved one, you need to start dating other people. If you were fired from your job or kicked out of college, you can take courses and master new profession. We must always remember what does not exist. Fate loves those who are proactive and moderately arrogant, so you should never lose heart or give up. After all, whoever knocks, the door is opened.

We must remember that there is only one life. You simply won’t be able to live it a second time. Therefore, you need to try to do everything you can at this moment, here and now. As they say, you have to get the most out of life. If you periodically return to the past, you may not be able to keep up with the changes that are happening today. However, saying it is not doing it. Everything is much more complicated here. Simple advice on how not to think about what happened: if such a desire arises and thoughts come back, you just need to force yourself to visualize a different future. This great way speed up mental recovery. You need to come up with a picture of a bright future and return to it every time. And if everything is done correctly, the imagined world will soon become reality, and life will again go on an upward trajectory.

Everyone knows a simple truth: you need to give more than receive. After all, it brings great moral satisfaction. If your soul is bad, you need to try to improve the lives of everyone around you. Can you help mom do general cleaning, give dad a long-awaited spinning rod or take a walk with your sister’s child. Gratitude and encouragement from others greatly improve your mood and give only positive emotions. And it’s much easier to cope with difficult memories.

Here we are not talking about selfishness, but about the fact that you need to give yourself the maximum of what can please you. At this time, you can try to fulfill at least one cherished dream - to jump with a parachute, go to the sea, or just go to an amusement park. Expectation of something wonderful and positive emotions cope well with multiple mental problems.

Simple conclusions

And to prevent various mental illnesses and problems from arising, you should always try to think positively. After all, all the trials that fate sends should only make a person stronger. And besides, we must always remember that behind the dark streak of life there will always be a white one. Expecting the beautiful, soon it will be possible to wait for it.
