A proposal for a British Guardian couple came up with a question that posed a huge emotional challenge for most of us on a day-to-day basis, especially during this time of stay at home following the Corona virus.
The questioner writes, "I have been happy and in good relationship for the last five years. About six months ago, my boyfriend went to work abroad and also flew to visit him, except that just before the social isolation because of the corona he suddenly separated from me for no reason. At first, I dealt with the situation by staying with friends and going on vacation, but then came the closure, I'm stuck at home and can't stop thinking about it. I find myself thinking about him endlessly and I feel like I'm going crazy for a moment. I am aware that there is a global epidemic right now, and that people are in greater trouble than I am, but I cannot overcome my thoughts, how can I deal with this? "
The person who answers the question is Norwegian journalist and creator Mariella Proustrop. "First of all, you don't have to apologize for thinking about your ex in the middle of a global epidemic. Each of us has real life dilemmas that continue to plague us even now. Because of the epidemic, new concerns are being reduced that reduce time for other concerns, but also our lives, for Their troubles continue to exist. "
"Closing and reducing the background noise and distractions of your day will heighten your thoughts on the ex. It is natural and logical that thoughts will flood you repeatedly with mental and even physical pain. Therefore, first accept this situation and do not criticize yourself for the feelings, anger and other states of mind. When you show up, they are natural, especially when there are not many disturbances around, they will even appear more powerfully, says Prostrop. "
"Then I recommend that you create self-initiated distractions that will fill your mind and your emotional world, so that the memories of the boyfriend will be suppressed. The first thing I recommend is to start dating on a virtual basis. In addition, your situation will also watch interesting series at night. Try to limit the time on the day you are engaged in it, and try to fill the rest of the time with it, after all, our brains, like the body, need time to recover, accept it and take that time as a lesson in how to grow and progress out of the immense pain This one, I assure you that slowly the pain will subside.
