Every person experiences a state in his life when the meaning of existence is lost, embraces an unbearable longing, the colors of the world fade, and one wants to either derail this world or erase it from his face. The insidiousness of the spleen is that it sucks like a swamp, and the more you wallow in it, the more it pulls. Khandra turns into apathy, apathy - into depression, and depression - into an unwillingness to live. How to overcome this state and stop mourning for yourself and your failed life?

There is an exit. Psychologists have in their arsenal proven methods to combat the consequences of spleen. But first let's look at its causes and consequences. The enemy must be known in person. With friends it's always easier to negotiate than with strangers. Exit from the state of "weightlessness" will help special techniques developed by practicing psychologists. They will teach you how to deal with depression and tell you what to do, when your hands go down, you do not have enough energy and desire to live.

The "virus" of the spleen

Where does this fatigue come from life? Scientists say that the propensity to depressive states is inherited. However, the genetic predisposition is traced only in 40% of cases, the remaining 60% fall on other factors. Fortunately, even hereditary spleen is treatable. But before proceeding to eliminate the consequences, it is necessary to understand the possible causes that generate them. Psychologists associate apathy with life for six main reasons:

1. Stress.
2. Avitaminosis.
3. Diets.
4. Mental overstrain.
5. Exercise stress.
6. Reception of medicines.

Treatment of bad mood

With visible reasons figured out. Most of them can be eliminated without recourse to specialists. But what to do with the unconscious provocateurs of depression, which can not be taken "barehanded"? They often set the weather for the mood. In psychotherapy, there are methods that allow the subconscious mind to "clean water" and manifest the true causes of the spleen. Psychologists say that many people who are depressed are stuck in a difficult life situation and do not see a way out of it. Practicing art therapist Elena Tararina has developed an author's technique that helps without traumas for the psyche to live a negative history of her life and transform destructive feelings into creative ones.

Technique "Drawing Depression with Vegetable Oil"

The technique is to paint your experiences, and not with the usual pencils or paints, but with oil. Usual sunflower oil. The uniqueness of this method is that drawing with a soft, transparent, plastic material allows you not to think about the quality and meaning of the picture, and completely immerse yourself in experiences. This technique is called art therapy and is used to treat depressive conditions. It allows you to find and neutralize the cause of the spleen, deciphers destructive feelings, improves mood and even changes life. To draw feelings you will need thin sheets of paper, sunflower oil and cotton buds.

1. Create an atmosphere that calms your soul: light incense, put quiet music or turn off everything and turn on silence.
2. Allow yourself to delve into that negative state that deprives you of strength and vitality. Live mentally and in the most detailed details the situation interfering with your peace.
3. Concentrate on emotions. Let them speak, and speak for yourself (shout, swear, resent) if they so require.
4. Transfer your experiences to paper and draw those "monsters" that generate all your destructive feelings.
5. Bring the drawing to the window and scan it with your "x-ray" look. This is the "snapshot" with the diagnosis of your sick soul.
6. Carry out a thorough diagnosis of the picture: name it; Describe what you see on paper; think whether it is possible to add details to the drawing that will reduce the tension in it. Correct or add something that will make the picture more positive.

Carry out the technique every time you fall into the emotional trap, lose the strength and meaning of life.
