Psychologist Liuba Ceban formulated suggestions as to how one can look at the sufferings from a healthy angle as regards the emotions. “Go on despite considerable indecision, even if all want you to fail. It is important to learn that life is with ups and downs and the failures are part of life,” stated Liuba Ceban, being quoted by IPN.

“The experiencing of a situation that we call “failure” is a trip with a number of stages. The first stage consists of shock, confusion, despair, helplessness and having such feelings is absolutely normal. You feel that you don’t want to live, that the end of the world came and thoughts of suicide can appear. But suicide is not a solution,” stated Liuba Ceban, founder of the Green Line for Suicide Prevention.

On Facebook Live, the psychologist said that when a person goes through an emotionally difficult situation and this situation is painful, it is called “failure”. “If you are at the initial stage of failure, you must stop the chain of negative conclusions about you, about the way things work, about the people around. When you realize that you experience a failure, you must delimit the borders. You must take care who you talk to about this and who has access to your soul,” stated Liuba Ceban.

She added that the experience of a failure is rather intimate and it can touch your soul deeply and it is better to have near you people who experienced similar situations or specialists who know to deal with the crises of life and to help the people who experience such crises. The person should learn to live with the reality of the failure and should ‘ventilate” the feelings with the assistance of people who can listen to you or through the agency of the anonymous chat.

The seminar centering on failure was the last event of the Suicide Prevention Week that was celebrated during September 8-11. The Suicide Prevention Week was held under the theme “Suicide is not a solution!” by the Green Line for Suicide Prevention. According to the organizers, this day is marked to underline the importance of emotionally supporting the most vulnerable persons affected by the realities of the pandemic as a measure to prevent the danger of suicide in the short and long runs. The events are organized as part of the friendship project “You Are Not Alone” that is supported by the U.S. Embassy in Moldova.
