From being grouchy to being upset to being depressed to feeling slightly better to feeling good to feeling happy to being grouchy again. The cycle goes on and on every time. Obviously there is a pattern to it and most of the time, it is quite inevitable (although I do not really like admitting that). If there is a pattern to it, how do we detect it and stay on top of your feet all the time?
It's easy! Just go to see a counselor! Lol..I'm just kidding.
As for me, my temporary relief method is to cry. That will then followed by some rationalizing process. But of course, a proper procedure should be taken, and I too would like to remember this method so that I will remain conscious every time, not just some times.
First, detect that you are upset. Know that you are upset. Let the anger arises while you watch it.
Second, note the reason behind your anger. Acknowledge the anger and let yourself know it is ok to be angry, but still ask yourself if there is any point to be upset with the things. That will cool yourself a bit.
Third, close your eyes, relax and take a deep breath. Be in the now. Be present by being aware of your breathing and bodily sensations before going to your feelings.
Fourth, take appropriate actions following the state of calmness. If it is loneliness that bothers you, make an effort to socialize that time. If it is someone who upsets you, confront the person etc.
Fifth, smile big and be grateful to be alive! Life's too short to be sad. Smile and be patient. Before you realize it, your pain has waned away. =D
If they don't work, cry to your friends and/or family. It's better to let it out and get some help from others then mishandling it yourself.
