What is despair and what methods help to cope with despair

Despair is an asthenic emotion that can persist for a long time, while a person in this state will not be able to perform the simplest tasks to satisfy his own needs.

People who have felt what despair is understand what efforts must be made to cope with this feeling. Despair is an emotional state that can arise under various life circumstances.

Let's take a closer look at this problem, since despair is a mental disorder caused by a serious stressful situation, and it needs to be resolved as quickly as possible.

In order not to worsen the situation, it is necessary to take urgent measures to help cope with despair. Any delay can become a huge problem that will require a lot of time and effort to resolve. A desperate person needs to be rescued urgently in order to save him and himself from unnecessary problems and unfortunate situations. A feeling of despair is an emotion that negatively affects the general condition of a person and his life.

It is very important to diagnose a person’s general condition and carefully monitor his actions. Usually, despair is a consequence of being depressed, but in other cases, despair is the cause of depression. A person cannot make important decisions, he gives up and does not want to do anything.

What is despair, the main causes of its occurrence?

Often people fall into despair after the death of a loved one, or after a breakup. In addition to relationships with people, despair can arise after a significant failure or other large-scale event of a negative nature.

Since the emotion of despair is asthenic, it means it carries a certain danger for a person’s mental state. A long stay in such an emotional background can provoke a person to negative actions, which can lead to tragic consequences.

Therefore, to prevent a negative outcome of events, you may need the help of specialists or drug treatment.

Like all diseases, as well as mental disorders, this psycho-emotional state also has its own stages of development. The higher the stage of the disease, the more difficult it is to treat, and therapy may be delayed.

To avoid becoming a victim of despair, you need to have a good attitude towards your own life. It is necessary to lead only a healthy lifestyle in order to strengthen your physical condition, as well as become a more morally stable person. Otherwise, you will need serious psychological help. Always remember this and keep your emotions under control

The reasons why despair arises can be of completely different directions. As a rule, this is associated with the loss of something or someone important to a person. For example, events such as:

• death of relatives or close friends;
• dismissal or demotion;
• during prosecution for a crime;
• Breakdown of relationships - divorce or separation;

In addition to these events, despair can arise at any time as soon as you lose something important in your life. It may even be public knowledge. For example, the destruction of architectural landmarks, or military operations on the territory of your country.

There are a lot of reasons to fall into despair, it all depends only on the perception of the person himself. If we take a simpler view of what is happening around us, then we will be less likely to find ourselves in conditions where similar situations occur with negative consequences. But how can you overcome despair if there is no motivation?

It is impossible to get rid of despair on your own if the stage of development of this condition is at a late stage. As soon as you feel that you are starting to despair, then you need to take control of your emotional state. If you make the right decisions, then you can overcome despair. But if you start a problem, then helping to solve it will not be as easy as it seems

Despair of despair: why it is vital for us to suffer

A person turns to a psychologist or psychotherapist, despairing of finding the purpose of life, Viktor Frankl believed, and based his treatment method on this - logotherapy. In his book “The Doctor and the Soul: Logotherapy and Existential Analysis,” which was published by the Alpina Non-Fiction publishing house, he writes that the ability to suffer is no less important than the ability to rejoice: without grief, our life would be incomplete. T&P publishes a chapter on the meaning of suffering and “noble misfortune.”

When discussing the question of the meaning of life, we divided all values ​​into three possible categories: we talked about creative values, experiential values ​​and attitude values. The first category is realized in action, and the values ​​of experience are realized in the passive perception of the world (nature, art), in which the “I” realizes itself. The values ​​of the position are embodied everywhere, where the fatal, that which cannot be changed, is accepted as such. There are an inexhaustible number of possibilities for how
to accept such a situation. This means that human life becomes complete not only in accomplishments and joys, but also in suffering!

Such reasoning will remain incomprehensible to the trivial ethics of success. It is worth taking a closer look, and we will be convinced that in our primary, everyday judgment about the value and dignity of human existence, such a depth of experience is already revealed in which events retain significance regardless of success or failure, and generally regardless of effect and consequences. The wealth of inner fulfillment, despite any “failure”, is truly revealed to us in great works of art. It is enough to recall such examples as Tolstoy’s “The Death of Ivan Ilyich”: it describes a bourgeois existence, the meaninglessness of which becomes clear to a person only immediately before unexpectedly approaching death. Having realized the former meaninglessness, this person in the last hours of his life grows far beyond his limits, to that inner greatness that retroactively fills his entire seemingly futile life with meaning. That is, life can receive final meaning not only through death (heroic), but also in death itself. And sacrifice not only gives meaning to life, but at the moment when life collapses, it can achieve completeness.

Lack of success does not mean lack of meaning.

This becomes obvious if you look back at your own past and go through your love stories. Ask yourself honestly whether you are ready to forget sad love experiences, erase unhappy or even painful episodes from your life. It is then that a person understands: this fullness of suffering is by no means an empty place. On the contrary, he grew up in suffering, in suffering he reached maturity, it gave a person more than successful erotic adventures would have given.

In general, a person tends to overestimate the positive and negative shades of his experiences, pleasure and displeasure. Giving them such great importance, he becomes imbued with unfair claims against fate. We have already discussed how man in every sense is “not born for pleasure,” and we have already understood that pleasure could not give meaning to a person’s life. And since they do not give meaning, then the lack of pleasures cannot deprive life of this meaning. And again, art provides us with convincing examples of the value of a simple, direct experience without coloration - remember how little it matters for the enjoyment of music whether the melody is in major or minor. And not only Beethoven’s unfinished symphonies belong to the most precious musical treasures, but also the Pathetique Sonata.

“Desperation itself frees a person from the reasons for despair”

We said that in action a person realizes creative values, in experience - the values ​​of experience, in suffering - the values ​​of position. But suffering also has an immanent meaning. Paradoxically, language leads us to this meaning: we suffer “from something” and “cannot bear it” - that is, we would like to prevent this from happening. Resistance to what is given by fate is our last task, the requirement of suffering itself. When we suffer from something, we internally distance ourselves from it, creating a distance between ourselves and the cause of suffering. While we suffer in this state that should not be, we are torn between actual being on the one hand and ought to be on the other. This, as we have seen, also applies to people who despair in their lives: despair itself frees a person from the reasons for despair

, because it means that he compares his own reality with the ideal, yearns for the ideal, that he has realized certain values ​​​​(remaining unembodied) - and this gives a certain value to the person himself.
After all, a person could not judge himself if he did not have the dignity and status of a judge - as a person who realized what should be and contrasted it with what is. Suffering creates
a fruitful, one might even say,
a revolutionary tension
, helping a person to realize the wrong as wrong.
To the extent that he identifies himself with a given situation, a person eliminates the distance from it and thereby relieves the fruitful tension between what is and what should be
.

Thus, in human emotions, a deep wisdom is revealed above all rationality - it even contradicts rational usefulness. Let's take a closer look at the affects of grief and repentance: from a utilitarian point of view, both may seem meaningless. After all, mourning something irretrievably lost is just as useless from the point of view of “common sense” and even contrary to logic, as repenting of indelible guilt. However, for the inner history of a person, grief and repentance are very valuable. By mourning the person we loved and lost we somehow prolong his life, and repentance resurrects the culprit and frees him from guilt.

The object of our love and our grief is objectively, in empirical time, lost, but subjectively, in internal time, preserved: grief keeps it in the present. Repentance is capable, as Scheler writes, of melting away guilt: the guilt will not be removed from the one who has done wrong, but he himself, having been morally reborn, will be resurrected. This opportunity to fruitfully transform events in internal history does not contradict human responsibility, but is in a dialectical relationship with it. Guilt awakens responsibility, but a person is responsible from the point of view of reality, in which not a single step can be taken back, the smallest of his decisions in life and the greatest remain forever. Nothing done or missed can be washed away. But only at a superficial glance may it seem like a contradiction to be able to internally dissociate oneself from some act in an act of repentance and, while experiencing the internal event of repentance, make the external event morally seem to have never happened.

Schopenhauer famously lamented the human life suspended on a pendulum between need and boredom. In fact, both states are filled with deep meaning. Boredom is a constant memento*

.
* Memento mori - reminder of death (latin).
Without specification - a reminder of something unpleasant, scary. What causes boredom? Inaction. But action is not performed in order to save us from boredom, but boredom is given to us so that we try to avoid inaction and be true to the meaning of our lives.

The struggle of life keeps us in constant tension, since the meaning of life is established and disappears depending on the fulfillment of tasks; this “tension” is essentially different from a neurotic thirst for sensations or a hysterical need for stimuli.

The essence of “need” is also a reminder. Even on a biological level, pain plays an important role, protecting and warning. Pain has a similar function on the mental and spiritual level. Suffering warns us against apathy, the deathly numbness of the soul. In suffering we grow, we reach maturity, suffering makes us stronger and richer. Repentance, as we have seen, has the meaning and power to undo (morally) an external event in internal history; grief has the meaning and power to somehow restore the past again. Both of them, grief and repentance, somehow correct the past and so solve the problem, in contrast to attempts to distract or drown out the pain: when a person tries to distract from or drown out his

, he does not solve the problem,
does not eliminate his misfortune from the world - from the world he eliminates only the direct consequence of unhappiness
, his state of dissatisfaction or pain.
By distracting himself or drowning out the pain, he “forces himself not to know.” He tries to escape from reality and seeks refuge in one form or another of intoxication. At the same time, he falls into a subjectivist, even psychological, delusion: it seems to him that, along with the emotions that he suppresses, the circumstance that caused these emotions will disappear, as if what a person has expelled into the region of the unconscious is at the same time expelled into the region of the non-existent. But just as by looking at an object we do not bring it to life and by looking away we do not destroy it, so by suppressing grief within ourselves we cannot eliminate the circumstance that prompts us to grieve. Grieving people often choose the right path, refusing to drown out their grief, for example, they prefer to “cry the night away” rather than take sleeping pills. Grief rebels against the banal prescription of sleeping pills: just because I sleep better, the dead man I mourn will not rise again. Death - an extreme example of an irreparable event - will not become non-existent if it is driven into the subconscious, and will not become non-existent if the grieving person plunges into an unconscious state, even into complete unconsciousness of his own death. * Insensitive melancholy (lat.)
** Logic of the heart (fr.)

How deeply rooted in a person the belief in the meaningfulness of emotions is shown by the following fact: there is a type of melancholia in which the main symptom is not constant sadness, as is usually the case, but, on the contrary, patients complain that they never feel sadness, cannot cry, that they are cold and internally as if dead - this is the so-called melancholia anaesthetica

*. Anyone who has encountered similar cases knows that greater despair is hardly possible than the despair of a person who has forgotten how to be sad. This paradox again convinces us of the artificiality of the principle of happiness - it is a psychological construct that has no correspondence in reality.

Obeying the emotional logique du cœur

**, a person always strives to be either in joyful or sad excitement, but always to experience something, and not to plunge into emotionless apathy.
The paradox of melancholia anaesthetica, in which a person suffers from the inability to suffer
, is a paradox from the point of view of psychopathology, but existential analysis resolves it, because existential analysis recognizes the meaning of suffering, recognizes it as a meaningful part of life.
Suffering and unhappiness are as integral to life as fate and death. They cannot be removed from life without destroying the meaning of life itself. If you rid life of misfortune and death, of fate and suffering, it will lose its form, its gestalt. Only under the blows of fate, in the red-hot flame of suffering, does life acquire form and meaning
.

The fate that torments a person has a double meaning: firstly, if possible, it needs to be given shape, and secondly, it must, of necessity, be endured.

On the other hand, we should not forget that a person must constantly be on the alert and not rush to capitulate, not recognize too early a certain state of affairs as fatal and not bow to what he mistakenly perceives as fate. Only when there remains no possibility of realizing creative values, when a person is truly unable to give shape to fate, only then does the turn of positional values ​​begin, only then does it make sense to “accept one’s cross.” The essence of position values ​​is how a person adapts to what he has no power to change. The sine qua non for the true realization of the values ​​of the position is that the situation really cannot be changed: what Brod called a “noble misfortune”, as opposed to an “ignoble” one, which is not fatal because it can be avoided or because the person brings it upon himself.

“There are situations when a person is able to realize himself only through genuine suffering”

One way or another, any situation provides a person with a chance to realize values ​​- creative or positional values. “There is no situation that a person cannot ennoble either by action or by patience” (Goethe). One could even say that in patience there is a certain “action”, since we are talking about genuine patience, the ability to endure a fate that cannot be changed by action or prevented by inaction. Only such “correct” suffering is a feat, only this inevitable suffering is filled with meaning. This moral feat of suffering is not alien to the everyday experience of the ordinary person. For example, he will fully understand the following story: many years ago, when awarding English scouts, the highest award went to three boys who were in the hospital with a fatal illness, but remained courageous and cheerful and steadfastly endured suffering. Their suffering was recognized as a real “feat” that surpassed the achievements (in the narrower sense of the word) of all other scouts.

“Life is not something, it is always just an opportunity for something” - these words of Hebbel are confirmed by various possibilities either to give fate (that is, initially and by its nature unchangeable) a form, that is, to realize creative values, or, if this turns out to be truly impossible, to realize the values ​​of the position, to relate to this fate in such a way as to accomplish the human feat of “correct” suffering. It may seem like a tautology if we say that an illness provides a person with the “opportunity of suffering,” but, understanding “opportunity” and “suffering” in the above sense, we get a completely non-banal statement also because between an illness, including a mental one, and suffering there is a significant difference. The difference is not only that the patient does not always suffer. There is also such suffering that is in no way connected with illness, fundamental human suffering, that suffering that, in essence and meaning, is part of human life. There are even cases when existential

analysis is used to return to a person
the capacity for suffering
, while psychoanalysis is ready to return to him only
the capacity for pleasure
or
the capacity for achievement
. There are situations when a person is able to realize himself only through genuine suffering. And just as they sometimes miss the “opportunity for action” that life provides, they also miss the opportunity for true suffering and the opportunity to realize the values ​​of a position. It becomes clear why Dostoevsky was afraid of being unworthy of his torment. We also now understand what fulfillment there can be in the suffering of a patient who struggles to become worthy of his torment.

Is it possible to overcome despair in yourself?

As we have already found out, despair is an asthenic emotion. As you know, asthenia is a painful condition that manifests itself with the appearance of the following human symptoms:

• Disturbance of normal sleep;
• Inability to perform mental activities for a long time;
• Loss of ability to perform physical activity;
• Increased irritability;
• High fatigue;
• Spontaneous mood changes;
• Poor tolerance to bright light and loud sounds;

In a state of despair, a person feels helpless and vulnerable. It seems to him that everyone around him is against him, that nothing can be corrected. The mood in such situations is usually extremely negative. These people may experience frequent nervous breakdowns, aggressive behavior with increased irritability.

But after an emotional outburst, exhaustion immediately occurs and a feeling of depression sets in.

A person becomes more picky and capricious. He begins to find reasons for dissatisfaction in every little thing.

It is worth noting that in a state of despair, short-term memory loss can occur.

Despair is not just a human emotion; in fact, many definitions can be found in this concept. First of all, despair is a person’s internal state, his experiences and assessment of surrounding circumstances. When a person despairs, it means that a great loss has occurred in his life, which is practically impossible to make up for.

In any case, there is no benefit from being in such a state. And every person can overcome despair in themselves, without outside help. But only those who have strong willpower can do this.

What to do when a person is in despair - what helps to cope with this feeling

To cope with despair, you need to have a sufficient level of self-control. In order not to become a hostage to depression and poor health, you need to control your emotional state and try to distract yourself from the new problem.

As soon as a person learns some bad news, he is usually overcome by a feeling of panic. Such emotional shock can cause a number of psychological and physiological problems.

We do not understand what to do when a feeling of despair sets in, there is no motivation, there is no mood and we are overcome by weakness. At such moments there is no hope, everything around us seems hostile and alien, and we give up.

To prevent the situation from happening that you cannot cope with your emotions, you need to understand what despair is, and also know how to define this state. When there is no hope, it is very difficult and usually impossible to get rid of despair on your own. In difficult situations, in order not to give up, you need to enlist the support of loved ones. Despair in loneliness very quickly leads to depression

In order to overcome the feeling of despair, you can use 5 tips that will help you maintain control over your emotions in the first minutes of bad news:

1. If you learn some bad news, do not panic under any circumstances, try to concentrate your attention on your own breathing: take a deep breath through your nose and exhale through your mouth. Repeat 5-10 times to get more oxygen. In stressful situations, a person’s breathing becomes rapid and shallow, so the required amount of oxygen does not reach the brain, and this can cause dizziness or fainting;
2. It is also very important to drink water. As a rule, a person in a desperate state does not want to eat or drink. But you should understand that water is necessary at such moments, as the body quickly becomes dehydrated from nervous overstrain. The easiest way is to drink in small sips, as often as possible.;
3. To make it easier to cope with the feeling of anxiety after bad news, you can go to the nearest park in your locality and enjoy the fresh air. Walking will ease your mental state. This is the best way to distract yourself and calm down if you are desperate and don’t know what to do;
4. Despair sets in after a stressful situation arises; it greatly exhausts a person. Therefore, in order to recover a little, you need to get a good night's sleep. And when you wake up, you can think about everything with a clear head, without unnecessary tension and emotions;
5. Since despair is a long-term emotion, it is necessary to create conditions where you will feel most comfortable. If you need to go to work, it is better to ask for a few days off, because you will not be able to work normally in this state. Although, on the other hand, many people, on the contrary, work harder so as not to fall into despair.

It is very important, at the first time the onset of a desperate state, to monitor your breathing. And if you feel that your general health is deteriorating and your vision is getting dark, then you need to sit down immediately to prevent yourself from fainting.

The first minutes after extremely bad news, a person may be in an unusual mood. When you realize that you have lost something important in your life, at the same time you realize that it cannot be corrected and will never be returned. At such a moment, despair sets in. It is important to understand this and be prepared for any shocks.

What else helps cope with despair?

In addition to the above methods of calming down, when you are in despair, you can also try other ways to distract yourself from what is happening. But, under no circumstances should you resort to using drugs or alcohol.

It is worth understanding that it is very difficult to get rid of despair on your own. At such moments, a person cannot control his emotions and behavior. If, after some time, you only feel a deterioration in your mood, and you feel depressed and powerless, then you need to urgently seek help from specialists. You don’t need to listen to “well-wishers” who tell you that everything will go away on its own - this is not so, despair can develop into a more severe form of mental disorder.

Many people, in moments of despair, simply stop “living.” Every new day becomes more and more difficult to survive, negative thoughts and feelings of anxiety do not leave even for a second, everything seems useless.

When a person is in this state, there is an increased likelihood of committing suicide. If a person is in despair, he does not see any meaning in life, so he begins to consider the most drastic ways to end his torment.

To overcome despair, you need to focus on more important things. A good way to remember your loved ones. After all, they always need your support. There is no need to cause suffering to your loved ones; they already get the fullest from life. If, out of desperation, you begin to harm your family, then you will lose much more.

The cause of despair is always the destruction of habitual perception. The death of a loved one, loss of hope, severe damage and many other situations can cause this unpleasant feeling.

In any case, the outcome depends on the quality and strength of a person's perception. How you react to the circumstances will indicate the further development of events.

Priest Afanasy Gumerov answers:

Dear Elena! I admit, it is difficult to give advice when there is no opportunity to talk. Even a doctor in a simpler situation, before prescribing any medicine, must question the patient in detail. It is known from experience that the condition you write about can be the result of the strong influence of demonic forces that try to instill all sorts of fears in order to plunge a person into despondency and despair. The reason for this is often a painful state of the nervous system that needs to be treated. However, spiritual means must come first. In the fight against demonic scourges, it is necessary, first of all, to strengthen faith. For it to become a living source of warm joy and bright hope, try to slowly read the Holy Gospel as often as possible with an open heart. You must not only believe in Jesus Christ, but completely trust Him. Open the Gospels of His beloved disciple. What consoling love emanates from the words of the Savior spoken in his farewell conversation with his disciples: “ If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” By this will My Father be glorified, if you bear much fruit and become My disciples. As the Father has loved Me, I have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. I have spoken these things to you, so that My joy may be in you and your joy may be complete. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are My friends if you do what I command you. I no longer call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have told you everything that I have heard from My Father. You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name, He may give you

"(John 15:7-16).

There is no fear that cannot be eliminated. To receive all-powerful help from the Lord, you must become a full-blooded member of the Church. We must live in her grace-filled prayer experience. As often as possible, joyfully approach the holy mysteries, knowing that the grace given in them heals the soul and body. The disease is not simple. Therefore, you need to show patience and work. Do not relax, but stay alert, “ for God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind.”

"(2 Tim. 1:7).

How can you define a state of despair?

The human body has a large range of feelings, which is why it is very difficult to determine exactly what despair is. There are several similar feelings that are closely related to despair, namely:

• Hopelessness. When a person does not see a way out of the current situation. The feeling of hopelessness is one of the components of the emotion of despair.
• Detachment. At such moments, a person becomes more withdrawn, and at the same time feels a sense of resentment, because in moments of loneliness, it seems that everyone is against you. It is worth understanding that this is a false judgment.
• Limitation. A person in this state can only perform simple physical activities, and even then with great difficulty.
• Helplessness. In this state, a person feels exhausted and unable to influence events. Feelings of despair and helplessness often appear together.

All these conditions can manifest themselves either simultaneously or in turn, at different intervals.

If you notice similar symptoms in yourself or someone around you, then you need to urgently seek help. Despair can be caused by ordinary stress from certain situations or events, but it is also worth considering the otherworldly nature of the illness.

Symptoms similar to those of despair can be caused by the fact that you have been damaged.

Secret magical rituals can eliminate energy barriers or close damage to the shell. Simple medicine or psychotherapy cannot cope with such subtle problems. For many centuries, people have been using such knowledge to relieve anxiety, despair, anger, and so on. It is very important not to fall for scammers who actually do not have secret knowledge. Such skills are passed on only to selected people

If your energy shell is damaged, then you will not be able to cope with despair on your own. In such cases, even traditional medicine cannot help. Try turning to specialists who have secret knowledge.

Many are skeptical about such methods of influence and do not believe in such rituals and rituals, but this does not mean that they do not exist.

In any case, you will have no other choice, and you will have to try to use the ancient knowledge of our ancestors to get rid of poor health.

How do we feel when we despair?

• Depreciation

All past experience ceases to matter.

At these moments I fall apart in half. The brain is capable of bringing up a variety of arguments and proposing plan A, B, and how much more is needed to overcome the crisis. But there is always a small part of me that squeezes into my knees and shoulders, covers my head with my paws and thinks one thought: “everything is lost.”

In this state, we tend to cross out everything, burn all our bridges.

First I check that I did everything correctly. I did. Then I freak out and think about going to work as a shawarma seller.

• Lost

We don’t understand where we are, the foundation disappears, the basis on which we can rely.

If something goes wrong, if I do a lot and the result is zero, then for some time I row by inertia, telling myself that everything is about to turn out the way I imagined. And then I realize that “just about” hasn’t happened for a long time, and I turn into moral dust. At these moments I don’t think anything good either about myself or about the future.

• Brokenness

Despair also affects your well-being. Fatigue comes from nowhere, and you may suddenly get sick. This is psychosomatics.

• No future

It is very difficult to make plans and hope for something when everything is falling out of your hands and the ground is crumbling under your feet.

My despair is always tragic. It goes beyond business and extends to life, which becomes meaningless and unnecessary, despite high spiritual teachings and the acceptance that it is all just a game of the ego.

• Panic

For those who are accustomed to regular victories, it is especially difficult to come to terms with despair - chaotic actions begin on the principle of “doing at least something, just don’t stop.”

I begin to ask myself questions, torment, analyze and engage in other types of masochism.

• Loneliness

We are not used to being weak, and showing that we are desperate, it seems inconvenient to us. Most often, people despair when they are alone.

Each of us thinks that he is the only one. The rest are all so positive and successful, and I’m a toy terrier!) But we gathered here and said that there are many of us, we are like this, and this does not stop us from being cool in what we do!

• Humility

We allow despair to take over all our thoughts and time, we fall into it completely and stew in it.

I’m terribly despairing, and I’m going into a deep, deep minus, that I don’t know how and can’t do anything, and I don’t have a profession, and there’s nothing, and everything is bad in all areas.

Let's sum it up

So, when you know the definition of the feeling of despair, and fully understand what it is. It is safe to say that it is necessary to get rid of this feeling as quickly as possible.

Despair is an emotional state of a person that occurs when some material or intangible value is lost.

To prevent despair from developing into chronic illness or mental disorder, you need to clearly understand your condition. And find any ways to cope with despair in order to make your life much better. If you don’t know what helps a person cope with despair, then you can seek help from a psychologist or other specialist.
