Don't try to "numb the pain." Whatever you're dealing with is frustrating and difficult, but trust me when I say that it is so much better for you in the long run to acknowledge that pain as part of your life. Realize that, yes it hurts, but it is shaping the kind of person you will grow into, and if you try to ignore it or numb it, you won't be able to grow, and it won't make the problem go away.Treat yourself well, compliment yourself on the basic things like, "I did okay on this test," or "I picked a good outfit for today." Don't force yourself to go out if you don't want to unless you feel like it would help. Try dancing for an hour, try drawing, try poetry, whatever gets your feelings and thoughts out onto some kind of medium for you to examine and sort through.More than anything though, recognize that pain is part of being alive, and it means that you have this beautiful thing called a heartbeat.
