As the pressure in life and work continues to increase, many people will develop anxiety when facing pressure. Mild anxiety can disappear through adjustment, but long-term anxiety can cause anxiety disorders. So, what is self-treatment for anxiety? What are the symptoms of anxiety disorders? Let’s find out below.
This kind of anxious emotion is future-oriented, which means that this emotion is dangerous or threatening, that is, it is an emotion that will happen immediately or is about to happen. People suffering from this disease often have unnecessary worries, which is one of their most typical symptoms.
Anxiety is an emotional state. The patient’s basic inner experience is fear, such as fear, uneasiness, and even extreme panic or terror. Paroxysmal or persistent inexplicable fear, tension, anxiety, fear and uneasiness. Patients may have an expectant sense of danger, a sense that some kind of disaster is coming, or even a feeling of death. This emotion is unpleasant and painful, and can lead to a feeling that death is imminent or that one is about to collapse from exhaustion. People with anxiety disorders often feel that they cannot relax and feel tense throughout their body. His face was tense, his brows were furrowed, his expression was tense, and he sighed.
Self-confidence is a necessary prerequisite for the cure of neurotic anxiety. Some people who have no self-confidence in themselves doubt their ability to complete and cope with things, and exaggerate the possibility of failure, resulting in worry, tension and fear. Therefore, as a patient with neurotic anxiety disorder, you must first be confident and reduce your inferiority complex. You should believe that every time you increase your self-confidence, your anxiety level will decrease a little, and your self-confidence will be restored, which is to finally drive away anxiety.
That is, freedom from tension. For example: when you are in a better state of mind, imagine various possible dangerous scenarios and let the weakest scenario appear first. And if it happens repeatedly, you will slowly no longer experience anxiety when thinking about any dangerous situation or the entire process. It is considered terminated at this point.
Some neurotic anxiety is caused by patients suppressing certain emotional experiences or desires to the point of unconsciousness. However, the symptoms do not disappear and are still latent in the unconscious, thus causing symptoms. When the disease occurs, you only know the pain and anxiety, but do not know the cause. Therefore, in this case, you must do some self-reflection and talk out the subconscious things that are causing you pain. You can vent when necessary, and the symptoms usually disappear after venting.
After the onset of anxiety neurosis, patients always have random thoughts in their minds, restless, puzzled, and extremely painful. At this time, patients can use self-stimulation to divert their attention. For example, when you are thinking wildly, find an interesting and attractive book to read, or engage in intense physical labor to forget painful things. This will prevent wandering thoughts from causing other illnesses and also enhance your ability to adapt.
Most patients with anxiety disorders have sleep disorders and have difficulty falling asleep or suddenly wake up from their dreams. At this time, you can perform autosuggestive hypnosis. For example: you can count, or hold a book with your hands to read, etc. to encourage yourself to fall asleep.
