HELPFUL TIPS TO EASE THE MENTAL AND PHYSICAL PAIN DURING THE HOLIDAYS

 

Shorter, wintry days and the holiday season bring cheer to many, but melancholia for some people Pain Management. Hot chocolate, cozy up next to the fireplace and the warmth of woolen blanket are all some people may need, but for others who struggle with seasonal affective disorder (SAD), mental illnesses or chronic pain, mental anguish and pain only deepens during this time of the year Mental Health Treatment. Pacific Pain & Wellness Group gathered a few tips to help you cope or feel better this wintry holiday season.

 

Soak In Some Morning Light 

 

With shorter wintry days, we get less exposure to sunlight. Although it has not been scientifically proven, it is widely believed that lack of exposure to sunlight contributes to seasonal affective disorder (SAD), lethargy and depression. Catching the morning light while brisk walking outside, opening all the windows and shades at home or at work and sitting next to the bright window can lift your mood.

 

Stay Active 

 

Avoid doing nothing and curling up under a pile of woolen blanket because this makes you susceptible to thinking about your pain and inactivity also exacerbates chronic pain. Stretching, swimming, brisk walking, low-impact or light exercises help keep your body strong and stimulates the body’s natural healing process.

 

Find Someone To Talk To

 

Avoid being on your own. Find someone or a group of people you can talk to and share your feelings and thoughts regarding your mental and physical pain. It’s best to choose people or join forums or group therapy so you are surrounded with people who you know can understand how you feel Pacific Pain & Wellness Group, such as the group therapy at Pacific Pain & Wellness Group where we have members who deal with the same mental pain or chronic pain or have personal experiences with mental health illness or chronic pain. Letting it out, avoiding bottling up your feelings and thoughts and sharing them are therapeutic.

 

Don't drink

 

A lot of people think that alcohol can provide temporary relief from mental pain or chronic pain. What it really does is give you the “buzz” and false sense of wellness. Intoxication can impair your judgement, keep you from doing more positive activities such as exercises, as well as affect your sleep patterns.

While the holidays may offer plenty of moments to indulge yourself with a glass of wine, remember to do so in moderation if you choose to drink. Don’t be embarrassed about passing on a drink and having something healthier, like a glass of orange juice or sparkling water with a lime.

 

Set Realistic Goals And Expectations 

 

If you have chronic pain, avoid strenous activities and staying out till late stressing and shopping for gifts or spending too much time fussing over what food to prepare for the family or friends. Set realistic goals and expectations for yourself and undertake tasks and activities that are not physically taxing pacific pain wellness group, but still enjoyable and will help keep your mind off your pain.

 

Seek Professional Help 

 

Depression, other mental diseases, and persistent pain are treated gradually. Family and friends should be prioritized. It's why we celebrate the holidays. If you continue to suffer and find any of these recommendations challenging, consult your doctor, psychiatrist, or mental health professional for support. Pacific Pain & Wellness Group's Analgesia physicians and mental health experts, including a neuropsychiatrist and psychologist, led by Kartik Ananth, MD, a board-certified and fellowship-trained physician and neuropsychiatrist, treat patients with mental health illnesses.
