Many people believe that if there is trouble in the body, it is detrimental to health, but in modern society, mental health is often overlooked. In daily life, we experience various emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. When faced with difficulties, failures, or prolonged periods of high pressure, some people can easily pass through it, while others find it challenging to overcome. This issue also has a significant impact on health. So, how can you judge? You might as well check yourself to see if you often exhibit the following abnormal behaviors, hoping you don’t.
One of the most obvious signs may be unusually low emotions, not just for a day or two but for a considerable duration. Being in this low emotional state every day can have a negative impact on daily life and work. People often feel helpless, anxious, and constantly feel mentally exhausted, not due to aging-related issues, but more on a mental level.
Not only do emotions become low, but over time, it seems that one cannot muster interest in anything, can’t see hope in life, feels incapable of doing anything well, doubts their own worth, and negative thoughts may arise.
There is also a dulling of the reaction capacity, basic daily actions are forgotten, such as taking a long time to put on clothes, getting distracted, and zoning out while listening to others. While others may think it’s just a bad mood, only the person experiencing it can truly understand that feeling.
Sleep disturbances start to appear, which is different from age-related shortened sleep. Those inclined towards this may often experience insomnia for a prolonged period, which is also a negative sign.
This can also affect normal appetite. Some people may stop liking any food, including what they usually enjoy, while others may overeat, using it as a way to cope with negative emotions, which is harmful to the body. It not only worsens this tendency but may also affect stomach health.
There may be unexplained physical pains, feeling uncomfortable all over without being able to pinpoint the reason. Headaches, back pain, etc., occurring in bursts could be precursors to a bigger issue and should be taken seriously.
These issues are closely related to one’s thoughts. As the saying goes, your attitude determines your world. To truly change this perception, it is recommended to express your feelings in a rational manner, such as through talking or writing in a journal. Do not rush to analyze; improvement is possible.
One should also have confidence in themselves, actively participate in activities to ignite enthusiasm for life, which helps in releasing stress and forgetting worries. Family and friends should also provide care and encouragement to help overcome these negative emotions.
Keep yourself busy, not just with work, but with appropriate exercise or relaxing outdoor trips to keep yourself occupied. Engaging in activities may prevent unwanted emotions and thoughts.
In conclusion, individuals with this tendency may generally exhibit the mentioned abnormal behaviors. After reading this, do you have any of these? If you don’t have any, congratulations!
