WHY ME??: DEALING WITH SUCH SITUATIONS.

Why me?? Is the first word that proceeds out of our fainting heart and weary soul when confronted with situations that are more than our imagined/ estimated capacity of ourselves. A lot of times, I’ve been in between the devil and the deep blue sea but I’m here typing this for you, how I managed to scale through? Honestly I can tell for all but I’m still here and I’m happy; that’s what matters now.

I may not be able to tell or pin point the particular situation we face that makes us use that phrase I used in capturing my article; WHY ME but I can tell for sure how to manage such situations. So quickly let’s run through them.

ACCEPTANCE

Dealing with absurd situations in our lives is almost the same process as Grieving. The first thought we create is to try to deny the existence of that problem and continue our lives the usual way… nope… face the fact that a mountain has been place in front of you and you Have to surmount it one way or the other. The earlier you accept the problem the earlier your brain starts thinking of a way out. These days, people live with illnesses like AIDS and they are happy because they’ve accepted themselves that way.

AVOID LONELINESS

Yeah you heard that, avoid staying on your own. Don’t be surprised that the default human reaction to situation is for us to retreat into our shells…that’s not good… have friends around. No man is an Island they say; A problem shared is a problem solved. Periods like this needs us to get all the support we can get, advice we can gather, love and peace we can be offered from our close by environment. Being alone doesn’t mean staying home all day, you can be in the midst of your friends and still be alone that’s why I made mention of the phrase; A problem shared is a problem solved. Suicidal tendency cannot be over emphasize thus the more reason why one does not need to be alone, swallowed in the thought of the confronting challenge.

STAY HEALTHY

This is one very key ingredient in this whole equation; loss of appetite will definitely come, but you have to tell yourself the truth; denying yourself food will not make things better. Also the opposite might be the case for some people whereby they get to eat in excess…that’s not acceptable either coz you will end up obese.

I LEAVE THIS SLOT FOR YOU ALL TO ADD
