What to do to avoid stress?

It is not a secret for anyone that a modern person risks to boil every second and become sweated. However, the abused word "stress" is not a reaction to a hundred-strong screams from the bosses, a bad company in a restaurant or a neighbor with a cat-hysteroid. He does not come from outside - he lives in us and does not require special reasons for manifestation. In your life, you can count on it inflation and a broken light bulb in the entrance, stuffiness in transport and an additional commission from the boss, not to mention social contacts and care for the fate of loved ones.

Everything that excites the nervous system can rightfully be called stress. A state that blocks the natural production of hormones of happiness, enslaves and spoils our mood. Accumulating, he leads to insomnia, a syndrome of chronic fatigue and serious health problems. At least to chronic pessimism. The process of immersion in the negative is gradual and subtle. Look at the elderly neighbors on the porch. They grumble and look askance, judgingly. Wrap the film back time and see them as young girls, little girls - the picture will be completely different. Smiling, laughing, radiant, mischievous, and maybe serious, but still full of anticipation, bright hopes. Such were they then. Sometimes something did not add up. Single reactions were collected one by one, fixed, became habitual and grew into character. Conclusion: to meet the centenary, cheerfully splashing in puddles and lightly smiling at the world, lay the foundations of positive now. What to do to avoid stress and despondency?

Neurotic ordinary

This happy category includes the majority of the working population of the country. To be neurotic is even fun, if for a company. You are constantly worried about something. Anxiety comes and does not recede. Ten times to double-check whether she took the keys, whether the mobile phone was in place and whether the "compliment" that was heard in the crowd refers to you ... To break a tear in honor of a broken nail. This is common for all. That laughter, then tears, then the sale ... A neurotic personality needs uncontrollably love and recognition of others. But even getting them, does not feel confident. It all seems that the warm feelings went undeservedly. Such a person does not believe that the joy is long. Not in her case. And even when everything is going well, waiting for a dirty trick, afraid of making a mistake and destroying a fragile connection with one's own hands. And sadly, she succeeds. The mood favors. Such people are pathologically insatiable: they have few emotions, impressions, attention. There is not enough of it also because they rarely refuse to accept anything from others or give themselves. They reach out to the inaccessible, scaring away everything else. Long. Before the change in attitude towards life. The neurotic lives in everyone - more or less. But some are able to laugh at problems and quickly recover, others exacerbate them year after year, until they acquire a set of obsessions or "just" do not spoil the character at all.

Depressed with depression

Many of us are familiar with decadent moods not by hearsay. When everything falls from the hands, the appetite disappears, the makeup falls wrong, the dog does not crouch, the cat does not rub the leg. A man is a sick subject. Sleep is not glued, the conversation does not fit (and with no one), life is not built, self-perception fluctuates at the level of worthlessness. In this state, it is useless for a person to say that life is joy and light. In response, he turns away: "You just do not understand the complexity of my situation." You really do not understand. There are times when optimism simply has nowhere to turn on the expanses of his longing. Hormones paint the sky gray and shout at the top of the voice that it will never be good, and the sincere smiles of friends are the triumph of evil demons.

An upset when a person who wants to get positive emotions literally runs after them to the store.

Dependence on the "Happy Farmer" and Tetris. Characterized by the lack of desire to play in real life.

A separate situation or a series of events was not in the teeth of his psyche, and she reacted in an insidious way. Doctors restrainedly assert that the diagnosis is when you feel sick from five months to a year. But we know that they protect themselves from the sold-out in clinics, and we do not recommend waiting for so long. The signal "depression" a vessel submits only in those cases when already has exhausted all internal resources and methods of persuasion. If your favorite music does not save and your apathy lasts longer than three days, look for help on the side. If there is no one to trust, or a heart-to-heart conversation has not brought relief, turn to a specialist. The therapist and not such pulls out of the quagmire of despondency.

Paranoia: what, scary?

It has little in common with a straitjacket or a single-cell camera. Although if you methodically undermine the nervous system with all sorts of fears and feed the turmoil in your head, you can go to panic attacks and notice the rudiments of sclerosis. By sabotaging yourself you drive, put blocks and lay bricks, from which paranoia is built. And then the heart rate increases, everything hurts and you quickly get tired. With an appetite, too, something strange happens, but he so often flashes in the symptomatology of various kinds of disorders, that it is difficult to consider it as an indicator of something concrete. In its extreme stage, the condition is difficult to confuse with something, but the initial symptoms can be traced to every second office worker. This does not mean that you should register with a psychiatrist, but doctors think that the "normal" state of health of the average manager is treated as a serious disease, yet it would not hurt. To at one point the cat outside the window does not begin to represent the interests of secret services, promise yourself to cherish the nervous system. The concept of the psychological norm is rather subjective, since people have come up with it, based not so much on the inner individuality of each person, but on his ability to be at odds with society. If you can, then it's normal. And if you want to differ, announce your right to individuality or admit your abnormality, ie, a difference from the generally accepted canons. Collective neuroses are a phenomenon of another rank. They arise from mass discontent with the conditions and the framework in which we live. We focus on annoying details - and inflate their scales by constant experiences. With this approach, problems bloom, and we delve into the cocoon from the negative. To escape from it, start giving yourself small holidays. You get used to good quickly. Try - you will be drawn in and become of all facets of life to notice the brightest, most impressive, joyful. Look closely, look for - and what is aerobatics - with their own hands to create occasions for happiness.

Schizophrenia: that's the thought!

In translation from Greek, it means "state - pounded reason." We will not try it on ourselves. We will only talk about the fact that it can not do without delusions and hallucinations. And further - everything, as well as at others "unhealthy warmth". The society can hardly be called a comfortable environment for it. The first symptoms appear 30 months before the outbreak. Schizophrenia develops, if there are serious preconditions for it - severe traumatic events, genetic predisposition or global disturbances in the work of the brain and nervous system.

Panic attack

If before you enter the office of the authorities, you whisper a mantra or validol eat stress, then you know the panic. Internally cuddle, cringe with fear, with small dashes to get to the other end of the corridor, drink some water. And also to sweat, see in the mirror, how the eye twitches, note how fingers tremble, heart pounding. Sometimes dizzy, throws something in the heat, then in the cold. And so on for a long fifteen minutes - half an hour. Often panic occurs for reasons of "ridiculous", "childish" and "absolutely not worth it". Sometimes fears come on the patient: go crazy, die, commit an uncontrolled act. He struggles to run headlong, not knowing where. Attacks can overwhelm unexpectedly, repeat. But the alarm should sound only if they go to visit more often than once a week or if there is a fear of "relapse".

Manic disorders

If you are quick-tempered, self-centered and self-centered, what you convince everyone and everything, we can congratulate - you have a craze. It gives off an excessive activity - this is when you resemble a mixture of a propeller with a mixer. And still you talk incessantly, jump from thought to thought, not having completed one. It's hard for you to concentrate, you think that spending time for a dream is a luxury. A bit of a nap - and order (it's impressive that it's enough for you). The loudest thing about mania is an overestimated self-esteem. If a person allows himself to humiliate others or consider himself to be the ultimate truth, it is likely that soon and Bill Gates will not be for him an authority. He is not already. It is interesting that such comrades are easily involved in all sorts of risky activities and easily spend money on meaningless purchases. Between us, one of the types of manic disorders is erotomania. You run the risk of earning yourself such a diagnosis when you begin to crave for the object of your adoration, despite his rebuff. If this is accompanied by persistent thoughts, a sleep disorder and a lack of appetite, know that your "unrequited love" very much resembles a mental disorder and is easily treated during sessions by a specialist.

Obsessions

Do you wash your hands before eating? Well done! Afraid of germs? Tolerant. And to take hold of the door handle in a public toilet and hold the breath in the crowd? Also yes? Here it already reminds the diagnosis. If you are afraid to step on the cracks in the asphalt, then you are bogged down. Weak obsessive states are present in many (thanks to the advertisement of toiletries and medications), but you should not start this situation. When the disease develops, "sticky" thoughts do not leave or take a rare leave to return soon. If everything is critically serious, a person may think about hurting others. And if not, just be amorphous. The brake system recycles inappropriately, depriving him of his will. Do you know how hard it is to unravel the tangle of inner contradictions? He knows. A clear example of such comrades you probably know. A friend who for the tenth time bypasses the apartment before leaving, and then returns three more times to check whether it is closed. Or the one that washes a hundred times a day, holds a daily "general cleaning" and puts everything in strict order. He also leads to depression, suicide, alcoholism, aggravates the course of schizophrenia. For example, your own steps from her entrance to the nearest bakery. So if you have determined how many steps from the front door to your apartment - it is less likely to wash your hands!

Phobias tormenting

A horror movie or an extreme attraction can tickle your nerves. With them, we determine the portion and intensity of fear. Sometimes it is declared without asking for your consent, turning into an animal instinct that is beyond the logic and exhortations of reason. And there is a certain set of circumstances. You would be glad not to take spiders or cockroaches to heart, but you can not. Such gentle emotions in you can cause as classical objects - closed space, flight, scene, dogs, and individual. To fall into a stupor from love or in front of the opposite sex. Uncomfortable, strange ... It's a shame, in the end! And sometimes to phobias it is possible to approach creatively and to be afraid, for example, mannequins, the neighborhood of a homosexual in a compartment or the conclusion in a refrigerator, to forget to read or see the skinny horse. And also ballet dancers, long queues for fish or meetings with an African baboon in the metro ...

Save, you can!

If any of the above is inherent in you to some extent, it's time to think seriously about your lifestyle. This does not mean that you have a bad job or you do not get along well in the family - you just do not know how to philosophically look at problems, overreact to everything and have not been on vacation for a long time. Psychologists recognize that the cause of the vast majority of neuroses that do not require hospitalization should be sought in childhood. And multiply by the stress that a person is exposed to throughout life. "Reboot" the wrong program, you can learn to react in a new way to the usual situations, or even radically change the state of things: go to another job, stop falling into the same unpleasant circumstances (simply because you create them yourself), avoid something, or. It is rather difficult to struggle with frustration on your own, because a person does not see himself from outside and his assessments are very biased. It is much easier to believe that the whole world is crazy and you are really being watched by the CIA, than to bring perception closer to reality. However, while you are able to laugh at yourself, you control the situation. Exhale yourself, if you enter, relax and smile more - and forget the huge furry spiders' way to your house!
