Some causes can be abandonment issues, abuse, verbal and sexual abuse, harrassment, nutrition problems, family problems.

Also, you’re important to the universe, so I encourage you to cry or scream it out! Sounds very odd right? But, I want you to feel all the emotions that you need too, so addiction has no place to hide anymore. I want you to remember that you’re not perfect and you’re prone to make mistakes but the mistakes do not define you.

Piece by piece, begin mending yourself with positivity and beautiful memories each day until you can no longer feel the pain that led you down your dark road of addiction.

By, Crystal Amon Copyrighted 2022 We are going to talk about tips and scientific tricks to feel calm and relaxed. The most effective ways to sustain long-term feelings of peace and calm are breathing techniques, music, and meditation.
1. Breathing Techniques When feeling stressed out, try calming yourself down by taking deep breaths and relaxing each muscle group. Deep breathing forces oxygen into your lungs and relaxes your body. Try focusing on your breath for five minutes before doing anything else. 2. Music Music is proven to help lower blood pressure and fight anxiety. Listen to calming music or nature sounds if you find yourself getting anxious. If listening to music isn't your thing, simply focus on something outside. 3. Meditation Meditation is an often overlooked way to relieve stress, but it's really not that hard. Start by sitting comfortably and focusing on your breathing. Once you've gotten comfortable with that, start thinking about nothing at first (if you don't think about nothing, you'll be thinking about everything). After a few moments, slowly begin thinking about things that make you happy, like family or animals. Keep going until you're able to clear your mind and concentrate on nothing. These simple tips will help keep you calm, even when anxiety hits you suddenly. Focus on learning and using these proven techniques to reduce your daily anxiety at home and work. By, Crystal Amon Copyrighted 2022 Domestic violence is a serious issue that affects many people in our communities. It can happen to anyone, regardless of age, gender, race or sexual orientation. It is important to know the signs of domestic violence and how to get help. Knowing what the signs of abuse are can actually help victims recognize what is happening and they may ask for help, especially when children are involved. Don’t spend another day being a victim of abuse, instead tell someone you trust and make an immediate plan to leave.
What is Domestic Abuse First, let’s define domestic abuse and the characteristics that a partner may use on you. The abuser can be male or female, because domestic violence is a pattern of behavior that one person uses to control another person. It can be physical, sexual, emotional, or financial abuse. Domestic violence is not just about hitting or yelling. It can also be about controlling what someone does and who they see on a day to day basis. It can also be about controlling someone’s access to money, telling them what they can and cannot wear, or preventing them from seeing friends and family members. The abuser generally will tell the victim how to act in public, even around loved ones and friends. How Does it Affect Children Second, many children who grow up in homes where there is domestic violence are more likely to become abusers themselves when they grow up. Even if the children are not being abused, they will most grow up to abuse their partner. Yet, children who are being abused need help in becoming free from the abuser. Sadly, children in abusive homes depend on their mother or father, who is a victim as well, to protect them. There is only one true way to stop being the victim and to protect your children, which is by leaving the abuser. However, many children end up dying due to domestic abuse, so it’s important for victims to get help. What Kind of Help? Victims don't have to live with the abuse and there are things they can do to stop it from happening again. Call the police but be prepared to leave before the abuser returns. Pack only the essentials and ask family and friends for help. This may be hard, but do not allow one more moment of control or abuse. Dig down deep and look around in your local communities for places that help domestic violence victims, but don’t expect things to be normal at first. However, to truly become free of their abuser, a victim must recognize they are being abused and be strong enough to walk away with both most times. Then, they musty, work to become independent on their own and with the help of the local resources which they are given. Family and friends may help, but the victim must be sure it’s a safe and secure environment as well. By, Crystal Amon Copyrighted 2022 Are you tired of everyone voicing their opinion about how you should live your life?

Furthermore, they have absolutely no right jumping into your financial business or jumping to conclusions about what your money is spent on.

From a move to a new city to the birth of a child, these changes can disrupt your routines and support system. It’s important to be prepared for how these changes might affect you and have a plan in place to maintain your sobriety. Here are some tips for maintaining sobriety during life changes.
Facing Changes When life changes, it can be hard to deal with. Maybe you've lost a job, or a loved one has passed away. Perhaps you're going through a divorce, or you've just had a baby. Whatever the change is, it's important to remember that you're not alone. Look for Support There are many resources available to help you through tough times.

It's a long and grueling process with many hurdles along the way. But you can make it through, if you're willing to put in the work.
In order to successfully recover from active addiction, you need to be in a safe place where you can focus on yourself without distractions or temptations. This is why many people choose to enter a recovery center—a place where they can immerse themselves in their recovery and get back on track with their lives. A good recovery center will offer an environment that's free from drugs and alcohol, as well as any other substances that might trigger your cravings for them. They'll also help create healthy habits for living a sober lifestyle so that when you leave the center, you have all the tools you need to stay sober once you return home. When you're ready to enter a recovery center, you have a lot of options. There are many different types of recovery facilities available: inpatient and outpatient programs; residential treatment centers; medically managed detox; sober living homes; and more. The most important thing is to find the right fit for your needs. Inpatient treatment centers typically offer intensive treatment for longer periods of time than outpatient programs do. They also tend to be more expensive than outpatient programs, but they can provide better long-term results. Residential treatment centers are often located in beautiful settings where recovering addicts can focus on their recovery without distraction or temptation. They also offer access to medical care, including detox services if necessary. Medically managed detox is another option for active addicts who need help with withdrawal symptoms during their first few days in withdrawal from drugs or alcohol. Medically managed detox includes round-the-clock monitoring by medical professionals who will administer medications as needed to manage physical symptoms like nausea and vomiting so that patients can safely go through the process with minimal discomfort or risk of relapse during this critical period when cravings are strongest. There’s Sober living homes provide support while recovering addicts transition back into everyday life after rehab. If you're reading this, you know that beating active addiction is a big deal. But, if you're like most people who have been struggling with addiction for a long time, the idea of recovery can be scary. You might worry about what it will be like to give up your addiction and start over again. You might think that if you don't use drugs or alcohol anymore, you'll be unhappy or alone. Or maybe it seems like there's no way to get free from the same old patterns that got you into trouble in the first place. But don't worry! Asking for help doesn't mean giving up—it means getting stronger. It means knowing yourself better than ever before so that you can make good decisions instead of bad ones. And it means having people around who care about your future—and yours alone! By, Crystal Amon Copyrighted 2022 People expect a lot from you. They expect you to be perfect. They expect you to help them with their problems. But this is unfair, because sometimes you have your own problems you need to solve, and it causes stress and anxiety when they pressure you.
Sometimes you can get caught up in other people’s problems and they feel like yours. When people expect you to help them out of a situation, it is easy to feel guilty. It can also be a lot of pressure when people expect you to solve their problems for them or give them advice or money. People that have been through the same thing may not realize how hard it is for others to be in their shoes. Sometimes asking for help is difficult because you do not want to burden someone else with your problems. Plus, if you are going through a tough time, the last thing you want is someone telling you what to do about it. You just need someone to listen and support you. Once the problem has been solved, it may seem as though everyone forgot how hard it was to get there. This can leave you feeling unappreciated and undervalued, which can cause stress and anxiety as well. This behavior may lead to psychological issues like depression, sadness, and negativity. People who pressure us and expect too much from us can drain our energy, lower our self-esteem, and undermine our confidence. They can make us feel like we’re not good enough or that we don’t deserve to have the things we want for ourselves. Setting limits with these kinds of people is a way to protect yourself from their negativity and regain your own power. You’ve heard it before: “You should set limits with people.” It’s a necessity in life when someone is draining you of your energy. You need to set boundaries and tell them how you feel. But what if you’re the one who needs to learn how to set limits? What if you’re the one who’s needy and always asking for help, or calling frequently? Maybe it’s time you learned how to let go and stop pressuring others in ways that are out of their control. Here are some tips on setting limits with people who pressure you or expect too much: Don’t start a fight over an expectation that isn’t realistic (i.e. “Why didn’t you call me back?”) Sometimes we get so angry about something like this because we have our own expectations of ourselves and we didn’t live up to them . If a friend is expecting you to call her every day, but your schedule doesn’t allow for it, try not to get upset with yourself or with your friend. Instead, talk about a new plan that works better for both parties. Don’t try to change people (i.e. “You’re so inconsiderate! You don’t do enough for me!”) When we think of setting limits, we usually think of financial, time-based, and physical limits. We don’t always remember that emotional limits can also be healthy to set. When someone pressures you or expects too much from you, it’s important to learn how to set emotional limits with them. Some people who expect too much from others are emotionally abusive. They may say things like, “You owe me,” or “You’re doing this for me.” They may manipulate your feelings in an attempt to guilt you into doing what they want. You should never feel guilty about setting emotional limits with someone who is emotionally abusive or manipulative; their feelings should not take precedence over yours, and you shouldn’t feel bad about saying no or telling them that their behavior is unacceptable. Other people may be passive-aggressive in their expectations. They might “accidentally” forget to call so you’ll feel obligated to contact them first, or they might ask for favors in a tepid way so that you have to ask them why they’re asking before you know whether it’s something you’ll actually do. Setting emotional limits with these types of people is a bit trickier, because on the surface they seem less manipulative than those who use direct tactics like guilt-tripping. Don’t become a victim, instead set limits and be clear when you say no despite the pressure they seem to add. By, Crystal Amon Copyrighted 2022 |
