Now that you have taken a few moments to figure out what exactly it is that you are feeling, think about how you can make yourself feel better. Step 2: Acknowledge what you’re feeling.įor example, are you mad at someone, or are you sad because your feelings were hurt by what they did? Whatever it is that you are feeling, it is ok to feel that way. Count to 100 or say the alphabet backwards. This step is important because instead of acting on feelings right away, you stop yourself and think things through. PATH stands for: Pause Acknowledge Think Help Step 1: Pause. One way to deal with uncomfortable or unpleasant emotions is to remember the word PATH. The good news is that with practice, everyone can do a better job of dealing with their negative emotions in healthy ways.

Substance use is the use of alcohol and other drugs to make a person feel better or numb about painful situations. While self-harming may bring temporary relief, these behaviors can become addictive and can lead people to be more out of control and in greater pain than ever. Many people self-harm because they feel like it gives them control over emotional pain. Self-harm can take many forms including: cutting, starving one’s self, binging and purging, or participating in dangerous behavior. It is harmful to both the bully and the person being bullied and does not address underlying issues.

In some cases, people who have behaviors that they are ashamed of may withdraw so other people don’t find out about what they are doing. Others may withdraw because they don’t think other people like them or want them to be around. Some people may withdraw because being around others takes too much energy, or they feel overwhelmed. This is different than wanting to be alone from time to time, and can be a warning sign of depression. Withdrawal is when a person doesn’t want to be around, or participate in activities with other people. When people deny that they are having problematic feelings, those feelings can bottle-up to a point that a person ends up “exploding” or acting out in a harmful way. Some of the harmful ways that people deal with negative emotions: Denialĭenial is when a person refuses to accept that anything is wrong or that help may be needed. In fact, it may lead to more problems to deal with down the road. It can be tempting to act on what you’re feeling right away, but that often doesn’t fix the situation that caused the emotions.
