I've been feeling anxious and upset lately

Panic can be a feeling or a pathological reaction. For example, when we are afraid, we may feel panic, and when we are sad, we may feel particularly panicky and uncomfortable. These are all caused by emotions. When you have certain diseases such as heart disease, irregular heartbeat can also cause heart discomfort. But for most people, when they feel anxious or uncomfortable, it has more to do with emotions. So how can we alleviate it?

1. Cry loudly when you feel sad.

Crying is a very good way to temporarily relieve emotional stress. When you feel sad, you can't help but cry out loud. This is an inevitable natural reaction to sadness. It is also a very natural and necessary first step to repair your heart. Don't ignore or skip it.

2. When you feel sad, don’t bear it alone.

When you feel sad, tell your loved ones how you feel and find a warm hug or a strong arm. Or find a close friend to talk to about your inner troubles. Even if you are choked with sobs and unable to speak, having him (her) stay quietly by your side is a kind of comfort. In the process of telling, you will also get a sense of catharsis.

3. When you feel uncomfortable, you can choose to divert your attention

If something makes you sadder the more you think about it, try not to think about it, keep yourself busy so that you don't have time to think about it. You focus your attention on daily things, such as swimming, shopping, listening to music, watching TV, etc. You can also choose a place with fresh air, quiet surroundings and undisturbed environment, take a posture that makes you feel comfortable, stand, sit or lie down, and imagine some peaceful and beautiful things. Or move some of the body's large joints and muscles, do some simple exercises

4. The ultimate way to deal with psychological distress : Peep deep into your heart

It is said that everything happens for a reason. The cause of psychological distress may be certain events in life, or negative emotions such as sadness, loneliness, emptiness, etc. lingering in the mind after a blow to emotional problems. To fundamentally solve the problem of psychological discomfort, we must start with its cause. Look deep inside and see what really controls your heart. Try to use rational thinking to analyze the reasons that make you feel uncomfortable, and change the situation completely.

5. What to do when you feel psychologically distressed : Look at the world with a different eye

Rational emotive therapy says: The cause of psychological discomfort does not lie in the event itself, but in people's thoughts. So even after you find a life event that triggers emotional distress, we can free our hearts by changing our perceptions. Not everyone in this world has an easy life. It just depends on how you deal with it. You should be optimistic and keep a normal mind when encountering anything. Just remember: Don't give up in this second, there will be a miracle in the next second. Life is bound to fall and wait. Be brave to look up. The sun always comes after the storm!

Life is indeed not easy, and there are many people in this society who are similar to you, but they are all living happily. As long as you work hard on everything, take life seriously, and take every day seriously, no matter how your life is, I believe that no matter how difficult your life is, you can get through it well.
