“I’ve been too much.”
“I’m just one. I have nothing I can do.”
“I want to give up.”
Like Happiness researcher Who spent ten years learning the welfare science, I received hundreds of messages. I see the same feeling again and again, over and over again – but never with a name about him.
I want to tell you the name: Demorialization. Although a word can change everything, you can start us.
When we cannot describe our emotions – when they feel wild, prohibited and uncontrollable – Shame and intense practices of desire to isolate ourselves. Labeling our feelings, regulates our emotional response, communicates and recovers our communities.
Demoralization is characterized by two main experiences:
- Unlocked: “I can’t cope with what is happening in my life.”
- Despair: “There is no meaning in the study because nothing will change.”
The two deepen each other unless existential hopeless and isolated. It usually opens like this:
- Something difficult.
- You are trying to solve this but you can’t. The existing struggle exceeds the level of your skills.
- You are ashamed and slowly lose trust.
- You have a hard time wanting to help, because we tell people you need to deny the problems.
- You feel like there is no way you can solve this problem.
- You experience the crisis meaning. You believe that a better future does not hope. You can also give up.
- You put an end to your leaving from others, which makes it impossible to improve it.

‘Demoralization epidemic’
When studied mainly when people are facing individual Difficulties such as severe or terminal diseaseI believe that today we are living in the demoral epidemic today society Calls.
From the climate crisis, we face economic instability, and we face problems that are not possible to solve. Every moment, thousands of people can hit us in person as thousands of homeless people go to the fires of Los Angeles. Or tens of thousands Was placed in federal workers No warning, loss Their work, the goaland the ability to provide their families.
Conditions for this epidemic came. As a detail in my bookYes, we live in a world that encourages priority and capitalist, individual values, relations and selfishness as a way to personal happiness.
2 ways we can correct ourselves
Demoralization causes us to retreat, more and more than we need more and more: each other. Instead:
1. Contact people and lean them
If someone emerges to help you cope, the discourage spiral can be stopped. It can be a therapist, colleague, friend or family member – saying, “Can I understand how it will be difficult.”
When you’re confused, sit with you, to inspire and cheer you up and pick you up and fall you, you need other people.

People often say that there is no society. I fully understand; This is a natural result Old Happy Culture – He teaches us that we are not good enough to compete so that we should always succeed and (in socially acceptable ways) and cannot trust ourselves.
You can just start collecting a few friends or business companions along with the intention of showing each other.
2. Offer Action and Help
Demoralization is perpetuated: you feel helpless, so you don’t move, it makes it difficult to move.
It is a sign to help more when you feel helpless. Displays the cycle and indeed indicates that it is a great power to change one’s day better.
Start small: Smile someone, give them a compliment or send him a funny video. Any act of help may affect another person, and it may also witness to be aid you.
Then take it to the next level. Think of an issue you like, like:
- Poverty
- Mental health
- LGBTQ + Rights
- Democracy
- Racism
- Working exploit
- Education
- Health
Type in the search engine:
(Issue) + (my city / city / country) + my organization
This should direct a structure to organizations that make an effort to determine a mission, Building connectionsand access to resources. You need your hands – your hands.
Send them this email:
I am not greeting (name)! I (city) live and passionate to solve / defend (the issue). I would like to give your organization (time, skills and / or money) to help you achieve your goals. Is there a way I can do?
Then show.
When we are difficult, it is a skill that we learn with the establishment of systems that make ourselves and hoping when we are difficult. Under the correct circumstances, to deal with difficulties Confidence, growth and meaning.
A society full of injured people cannot make a more happy world. But every day and every day a world world is something that eats to make each other.
