HOW TO OVERCOME THE PAIN OF SEPARATION?
Neurology Specialist Prof. Dr. explained how the separation process can be more easily circumvented and ways to deal with this situation.
Ending a relationship can be quite painful and devastating. A common decision of separation allows the process to be easily circumvented, while the heaviest is to be the abandoned side… because it is difficult to accept that a union with many experiences and habits is over.
Turkey Medicals member and 28 year Neurology Specialist Prof. Dr. TC listed the ways to cope with the pain of separation as follows…
WHAT PROBLEMS DO YOU HAVE?
After separation, the brain loses regular dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin nutrients, causing neurological starvation. As with substance and alcohol addiction, these hormones are sorely needed again, and withdrawal symptoms appear. When these chemicals do not reach levels that the brain is used to during intercourse, you feel anxious, depressed and lonely. According to clinical research, to reduce this deprivation, people can turn to bad habits that will work the brain’s reward center again during separation periods, go on adrenaline-inducing adventures, try to return to their former partners, and go into wrong romantic relationships without thinking. It is common behavior to wander through the social media accounts of the person he is leaving, looking at old photos and gifts. All of these behaviors are mild in the dopamine-starved brain, which animates the reward center
it causes movement. But none of these behaviors help save the brain from the deprivation it experiences in the long term, but rather make it harder for it to get used to.
HERE ARE THE 4 MOST EFFECTIVE TIPS
- After a breakup, our brains strive to heal and make smarter decisions. He also recalls how he would deal with the breakups that would happen in the future. So, by avoiding certain behaviors and making small changes in our daily lives, we can help our brains overcome separation.
.
- Try not to look at pictures, gifts or other emotional reminders of your ex-partner or lover, and avoid places where you spend time together. These behaviors increase the sensation of dopamine deprivation and make it difficult for the brain to unravel the binding hormones.
SPEND TIME IN NATURE
- Start a new workout routine. Engage in a sport you love or go for a walk near your home every day. Physical exercise allows the release of brain chemicals such as endogenous opioids and dopamine, prevents depression and anxiety (anxiety), increases your energy.
.
- A wave of stress hormones can disrupt your sleep and diet. It can also cause various diseases by weakening your immunity. This is why it is very important to maintain sleep patterns, consume a lot of fruits and vegetables, avoid fatty and sugary foods. You should definitely reduce your stress levels. Every day you can devote 1 hour to relaxing, meditating or spending time in nature.
STORE DOPAMINE
Dopamine and serotonin deprivation can lead you to jump on irrational adventures that will arouse adrenaline, build false relationships. Instead, you should fill this deficiency with more useful dopamine triggers. Activities such as making fun plans with friends, spending time on a hobby that excites you, acquiring a pet, and spending time with your family can be useful. After a breakup, as tempting as it may be to close yourself home, you should fill your schedule further by taking into account pandemic measures and cover your lack of dopamine with useful adventures that you don’t have time for.
