Things You Must Do When Your World Is Falling apart

Life isn’t easy, and sometimes we may encounter situations where we feel like our world is ending.

Have you been fired from your dream job before? Have you failed an important exam at school? Have you broken up with the love of your life? Have you been cheated on by your partner?

All these situations can trigger another dimension of stress and anxiety. They can be heartbreaking and make your soul feels powerless. You may feel like nobody can understand you, you may feel alone, you may feel hopeless and that your future has arrived at its end. No matter what you are feeling, please understand that your emotions are normal and valid, and what you are currently experiencing happens to a lot of people.

There is no harm in pondering over what has happened, but instead of trying to fight it out, tearing your hair over what you did wrong and where it all started and trying to retrace back your steps maybe think about ways to cover it up? What has happened has happened. You cannot fix it, but you sure can lessen the damages that it will do to your heart and soul.

Here are the things that you should do whenever you feel your world is falling apart:

Allow your whole world to fall into billions of pieces. Cry as much as you need to. Scream even. Allow your heart to feel the emotions triggered by that particular event.

Give yourself to process your emotions.

Make a list of all the things you think are contributing to that phenomenon and then deal with each one of them at a time, attempting to break them down and continue to include or eliminate them.

Determine the negative factors that are affecting your life, and once you have isolated the main contributing factors to your life feeling “out of control or falling apart” I would take each thing at a time and address it. I would list a few things that could make that thing better and then again list some specific steps to begin to take.

Concentrate. I repeat louder concentrate on the half-filled glass of your life rather than lamenting on the half-empty glass. This means don’t simply ignore the other good things in your world.

Prioritize. Determine what exactly is contributing to your unhappiness. Write a list of all these things, and start working on each thing once at a time, by addressing the most pressing things at first.

There are periods in people’s life where they feel like nothing is working out, and failing can be a plan because it can be the beginning of something very good. Try to shift your thinking towards this idea of seeing failure as a blessing.

Things tend to feel a lot worrisome when we are dealing with them on our own. Therefore, please reach out to your friends and people you love to talk about what you have in mind.

Sometimes seeking professional help is needed; it is always helpful to have a counselor who walks you through your traumas and understands your suffering.

Accept that what happened to you is normal and part of your journey in this life, know that it is temporary and it never defines the person you will be in the future. You are never your failure!

“I guess the whole world is made up of things coming together and things falling apart,”

― Emily Wing Smith,

Finally, don’t forget to go easy on yourself. No matter how bad things are, they will eventually get better. Trust me, I know.
