An anxious temperament, encountering health issues, what to do?

Hello, host. I saw the title and came in, but then left. I don't know how to comfort you. I just want to hug you.

I understand when you feel heavy after hearing about an unknown condition or discomfort.

Fear of the unknown makes your brain go "buzz" with fear, worry, and uncertainty.

Anxiety is a kind of reminder from the body.

You care about your health, but during a physical exam, you may be at risk of developing lung nodules. This is the body's way of reminding you to pay attention.

Anxiety is the body's way of protecting us.

Anxiety is worrying about things that haven't happened.

Anxiety is an emotion that humans have experienced for a long time.

Anxiety is good for us.

3. How anxious you are.

Anxiety is not bad, but too much anxiety is.

Anxiety helps you think of solutions.

Over-anxiety is when you think only about the anxiety and forget to think of solutions.

4. Think of a time you were anxious.

1. Think of an anxious event from the past. What did you think? What did you do?

2. What's the worst thing you think will happen when you're anxious?

After the event, see if the worst thing you thought would happen did.

3. Compare your anxiety before and after. Was it as bad as you thought?

Did the event actually happen?

4. Advice:

1. Wait for the doctor's results.

2. Accept the results, good or bad.

3. See different doctors and specialists to get different opinions.

4. Follow the doctor's advice and take the medicine as prescribed.

5. You can also talk to volunteers and people with similar experiences, which should help you feel less anxious.

Hello, landlord. I'm confident my answer will be helpful to you.

Hugging you, I feel your inner anxiety and tension, as well as your worries and fears about illness. I want you to know that

Your mind and body are inextricably linked. When you feel emotionally distressed, your physical health suffers. It's crucial to recognize that anxiety, tension, and worry are not conducive to healing. They impede the process of getting better.

First, we must learn about anxiety and how to deal with it.

First, understand that negative emotions are a natural part of life. Don't resist them. As long as they're not serious, you can adjust and relieve them. Take anxiety as an example. You can adjust in the following ways.

1. Understand anxiety correctly.

Anxiety is innate and carried in our genes. It serves a purpose and is here to tell us something.

Our ancestors had no place to live in ancient times. When they encountered wild animals, they needed anxiety to tell them that danger existed. If we are not anxious, we will stand still and wait to be eaten. We must either fight off the wild animal or escape. These are the only ways to deal with danger.

As evolution has progressed, anxiety has developed various levels. Sometimes we are facing a tiger, sometimes a fox, and sometimes just a kitten.

However, society is much safer nowadays than it used to be, yet the anxiety gene remains. It can and will manifest in the workplace, triggering anxiety similar to that of seeing a tiger when we encounter danger at the "kitten level." This requires us to be aware and discern whether our reaction to reality is disproportionate. We must recognize when our perception of reality is exaggerated, even when it seems we've encountered just a kitten but thought we saw a tiger.

2. Understand the meaning behind anxiety.

Anxiety is a negative emotion, but it serves a purpose. It's a reminder that you need to pay attention to certain needs.

When we face a challenge and become anxious, it means that we either lack confidence in ourselves or attach particular importance to this challenge.

Appropriate anxiety can promote our development and growth. When we are aware of our lack of confidence and our own importance, we must satisfy this part of our needs. We must believe in ourselves, affirm ourselves, see our own abilities, encourage ourselves to be able to do it, give ourselves positive mental suggestions, and then do the things that need to be done. We must implement the plan with both feet on the ground, not too focused on the results. We must focus on the process, do our best, and just let nature take its course.

3. Transform anxiety into anticipation and excitement.

The brain area that processes anxiety is the same area that processes anticipation and excitement. If you feel anxious about something, change your mindset and look forward to it.

Your state of mind will change completely.

If you are anxious about your illness, turn it into an expectation of positive treatment. Expect that your physical condition will improve through positive adjustments. Expect that you will make the nodules smaller or even disappear, and expect that your condition will become easier.

4. Deal with anxiety using positive methods.

Anxiety affects people in all aspects: their physiology, psychology, and behavior.

There are nine ways to cope with anxiety, which can be divided into three categories.

The first type is a physical response to anxiety.

Change your breathing pattern and practice using abdominal breathing.

Practice progressive muscle relaxation to achieve a peaceful and relaxed state of mind.

Engage in regular aerobic exercise at an intensity that relieves your anxiety.

The second type is psychological coping methods for anxiety.

Identify the catastrophic thinking that causes your anxiety. Change it by questioning and replacing it with rational thinking that is in line with reality.

If you're too anxious to calmly change your thinking, use the anxiety delay method to distract yourself and pause your anxiety.

Meditate and do introspection exercises to relax your mind and reduce anxiety.

The third type is behavioral coping methods for anxiety.

Use exposure therapy to eliminate avoidance behaviors and overcome anxiety.

You must establish a good lifestyle, arrange free time for yourself, and learn to take care of yourself.

Simplify your life. Get rid of your material possessions, relationships, and chores that weigh you down. Reduce your burdens and find inner peace.

Furthermore, there is no doubt that hugging is an effective way to relieve stress when you are anxious.

Hugs produce oxytocin, which makes people feel happy and satisfied. This effect is immediate. When you hug someone close to you for a few minutes, you will become less anxious.

Therefore, when we experience negative emotions such as anxiety or depression, we must not be afraid. We need to see it, deal with it, become partners with it, and move forward with it. We can use its power to understand ourselves and become a better version of ourselves.

Let's take a look at how we can become healthier.

The host said that he values health very much. I do too. I used to be afraid of physical problems. Whenever something went wrong, I worried. I was nervous and scared. I adjusted my attitude. I accepted that "getting sick" is the norm. We can't control it. To live more comfortably and keep my body more energetic, I need to eat healthy food, get enough sleep, have a good attitude, and do some exercise. I made these four things my daily routine: eating healthy food, going to bed early, taking care of myself, taking care of my feelings and emotions, and doing some exercise every day. I rarely get sick anymore. If I do, I don't feel as scared because I have accepted it. I believe that I can adjust to it. I also understand that only by maintaining a positive attitude will my body receive positive signals. It will become better and better.

The psychological effect of Pygmalion is clear: you will get what you expect. What you get is not what you want, but what you expect.

If you expect something with confidence and really believe that things will go well, they will. Conversely, if you believe that things are constantly being hindered, then these obstacles will arise.

It is crucial to recognize the significance of maintaining a positive outlook. When we embrace a constructive mindset, exuding confidence and a belief in positive outcomes, it becomes a powerful tool in our journey towards success.

Your beliefs shape your actions, and your actions determine your results.

We must believe in ourselves and our ability to become whatever we want to be. We must work hard and persevere in the direction of our expectations. We will become that expected self. However, if we believe we are not good enough and cannot do it, we will remain stagnant and never improve.

Don't think of yourself as carrying a time bomb. Tell yourself, "The breath of my life flows freely, my body will get better and better, and I can live a healthy life."

The book "Rebuilding Your Life" states that lung problems are caused by our ability to participate in life, depression, sadness, fear of participating in life, and feeling worthless. You can adjust your thinking pattern and tell yourself that you can participate in life and maintain perfect balance, that you have the ability to fully participate in life, and that you like to fully experience the joy of life.

Eating well, sleeping well, maintaining a good mood, and exercising moderately will undoubtedly lead to continued physical improvement.

The author of "Rebuilding Your Life" used diet, belief adjustment, and exercise to make her cancer disappear from her body within six months. Read her book and her story to see how you can do the same.

Best wishes!

Hello,

I'm happy to be able to give you some advice.

From what you've written, I get the sense that your physical health is a top priority for you. You seem to understand that your physical health is the most important thing, and that everything else is secondary. I also get the impression that you invest a lot of energy in your health on a daily basis. For instance, you actively maintain your health and strive to achieve balanced nutrition in your diet. It's important to keep up the good work and keep pushing forward with actions like these.

So, you've got a bit of a tricky situation on your hands. During a physical exam, the doctor found some lung nodules that might need to be monitored. He didn't say how serious it was or if you'd need surgery or medication.

The disease of pulmonary nodules is first and foremost related to the environment we live in today. It can be caused by damage to the lungs due to air pollution or second-hand smoke from people around you, or some lung damage caused by your own smoking.

On top of that, just because you're at risk doesn't mean it's definitely malignant. And what's the size of the lung nodule?

I see that the doctor suggested you keep an eye on it. The nodule shouldn't be too big and shouldn't affect your physical health. In fact, we've seen many reports that mention that many people suffer from some diseases, but that the disease often coexists with other conditions.

When it comes to a real illness, we need to figure out what's causing it and find ways to make it better. As for the lung nodules, I mentioned above that there are some objective reasons related to the surrounding environment, and then there is also a subjective reason, which is your own mood.

You also said you tend to get nervous and anxious. Where does that come up for you? Is it when you're facing new things or when you're dealing with things you care about and want to do well? Or does it also come up in your interactions with others?

On the one hand, we live in an environment where we try to avoid people who smoke as much as possible and wear masks outside to protect ourselves. The next step is to control our emotions within a more comfortable and reasonable range.

The doctor is actually just telling you to keep an eye on the nodule. They haven't said it's a big deal. When we know it might be bad, it can be a bit of a shock. You might be thinking it's more serious than it is.

How do we understand this? First, we have to trust the scientific methods and the results of the examination to determine that there is currently no major problem with your nodules. Second, we have to follow the doctor's advice and just observe.

So, regardless of what the nodule is doing, we have to accept that it's there. What we can do now is adjust our behavior and mood in our daily lives to slow down its possible negative development, right?

So, we shouldn't worry too much about the possibility of it getting worse. It could happen, but it's not a certainty. We shouldn't assume that it definitely will.

So, we should try to calm our minds a bit more in our daily lives. For instance, when we think there might be some hidden dangers to our health, we should ask ourselves if they really are. Take lung nodules, for example: are they really that bad?

Not really. Has it really affected your health?

It's not actually the case. Can I avoid or alleviate this symptom through my daily routine?

Yes, it is.

Whenever we have these concerns, we can help ourselves by taking a step back and being mindful. It's important to understand that this is a sign of your excessive health concerns. It's okay to worry, but excessive worrying is also harmful to you.

If we're in a pretty routine state of worry, we can just stick to our usual eating and living plans. But if it's excessive worry, even the slightest change will feel like a bolt from the blue.

We need to take a step back and look at this rationally. Is this lung nodule really that serious? Do we need to spend so much energy worrying about it every day? I think the answer is probably no.

It's great that you care about your health and are taking steps to improve it. However, it's also important to consider external factors and your own state of mind.

I hope you can understand why you're feeling this way. You should keep working towards your goal of becoming healthy, but you should also think about your current situation and decide if you want to keep feeling anxious or take steps to find a lifestyle that suits you better. That way, you can lead a healthier life and take better care of your body.

I wish you the best of luck.

One Psychology Q&A Community, World, and I Love You: https://m.xinli001.com/qa

Good day,

Host;

After carefully reading the post, I can understand the poster's feelings of anxiety and distress. I also noticed that the poster courageously faced her inner emotions and actively sought help on the platform, which likely helped her gain a deeper understanding of her anxiety and find ways to accept it.

I hope that by sharing my observations and feelings in this post, I can offer the poster a more nuanced perspective on their anxiety.

1. It might be helpful to try to accept the facts.

From the post, I can see that the poster usually pays great attention to health, and this time a risky lung nodule was found during a medical examination. I empathize with the poster's situation and can understand the anxiety and distress they are experiencing.

In such situations, it is natural to wonder how we can help ourselves when we are faced with complex emotions. How can we find a way out of these emotions?

It is understandable that it might be challenging to accept something that has happened suddenly. Perhaps it would be helpful for the owner of the house to allow himself some time to process this new information.

One possible approach could be to remind yourself that while it is unfortunate that such a thing has happened, it is important to recognize that such things are out of our control.

It might be helpful for the host to repeat this sentence a few times, as this could assist in accepting the objective facts and, in turn, help to reduce some of the anxiety.

2. It might be helpful to try to face anxiety and fear head-on.

From what I can gather from the content, it seems that the poster is currently experiencing a high level of anxiety and fear. If these emotions are taking up so much space in the heart, it might be challenging for our rationality to emerge.

It might be helpful for the poster to try to deal with their emotions before dealing with things. When faced with anxiety and fear, it can be beneficial to try to relax the body and mind by breathing.

One possible method is to slowly inhale, filling your stomach with air, then hold it for five seconds before slowly exhaling through your mouth. During this process, you can also imagine exhaling your emotions out of your body with the breath. This exercise may help to relieve your anxiety.

It may be the case that when our emotions subside, our rational thinking may emerge.

At this time, we may find ourselves with the strength and ideas to face the same challenges in a more calm state of mind.

3. You might consider talking to your anxieties and fears.

It might be helpful to try talking to your anxieties and fears to see what they want to express. You could also consider going to see the existence of fear.

How might one engage in such a dialogue? I am reminded of a counselor who, when her mother became ill, was unable to go to the operating room because of work reasons and became so anxious that she lost sleep.

So she decided to address her anxiety directly.

She imagined anxiety as a very restless little monster, so she went over and gave it a hug to comfort it. And she said to it, "I can see you're worried about Mom's surgery tomorrow."

"I understand your concern about being unable to be there in person. I'm sure your father will be able to support your mother well, and the operation is relatively minor. Your mother has always been in good health, so I'm optimistic about the outcome."

These conversations helped to soothe her emotions, allowing her to fall asleep quickly.

From such a conversation, the host may also be able to find a way of talking that suits him. It might be helpful to combine what the doctor tells you to do to calm your emotions.

4. It might be helpful to consider seeking support.

From what I can gather from the content, it seems that the host may be feeling a bit vulnerable at the moment. It's possible that what they need most at this time is the support and understanding of their loved ones. If there are family members or friends around, it might be helpful for the host to talk to them about their feelings and concerns.

Even if they don't do anything, just quietly accompanying you and listening to you can also be a great support.

We all have times when we are vulnerable, and at these times, it can be helpful to accept our vulnerability and seek support from those around us. It's also valuable to consider the resources available to us.

If the financial situation allows, it might be helpful to seek the support of a professional counselor.

5. It might be helpful to try to live with anxiety.

From the post, I can tell that the poster is someone who pays particular attention to their health, which is a good thing. However, it can also cause problems. For example, if something unexpected happens during a medical examination, it can be hard to accept.

It's just that reality has already happened, and we can't change it. Perhaps we should consider trying to accept it, accept its existence, and accept that we coexist with anxiety.

It is important to remember that anxiety can be managed, and that it is possible to live with it. The host has come to realise that if he is affected by anxiety, it can have a negative impact on the situation.

Perhaps we could consider allowing it to exist without either magnifying or minimizing it, and allowing it to come and go. It might be helpful to view it as we would a guest in our home.

Sometimes, being able to live with emotions is the most advanced skill. The other is to do more and think less.

I hope that these words have been helpful to the original poster in some way. My name is Zeng Chen, and I am a psychological coach at One Mind.

Dear questioner, My name is Ju Ju, and I hope you don't mind me reaching out.

If I might suggest, let us first take stock of the content of the questioner's narrative.

The questioner seems to be someone who is very prone to anxiety and nervousness. I saw the words "anxious constitution" written in the title, and I'm not sure if this "anxious constitution" is something you think yourself, or if it's an accurate response from a professional. A medical examination revealed risk lung nodules, and the doctor recommended observation. I empathize with the questioner's situation. If it were me, I would also have a nervous breakdown. What's more, the questioner is someone who cares very much about their health. This kind of result might intensify your anxiety.

From what I can see, the questioner's illness may be a risk of pulmonary nodules. To answer this question as best I can, I also looked up pulmonary nodules:

Lung nodules are lesions that occur in the tissue of the lungs. They often take the form of round or irregular shapes, with a diameter of up to 30 mm, and are frequently surrounded by normal lung tissue.

In medical imaging, they would likely be described as "increased density shadows in the lungs." Lung nodules can be single or multiple nodules with clear or unclear boundaries.

I feel that the current result of "risky lung nodules" may cause the questioner to feel a certain degree of discomfort, distress, and even physical discomfort. It may evoke a sense of loss of control and a disruption in one's sense of order.

In ordinary times, the questioner is someone who tends to prioritize physical health.

If we experience something related to "loss," such as the loss of physical health, it is natural to feel a strong sense of unease and anxiety. Our hearts may naturally try to avoid any situation related to separation and loss.

It is understandable if the outcome is difficult to accept at first. It may be helpful to allow time to gradually adjust to the situation.

If I might make one more suggestion, I believe you have written that you are "anxious." Have you had the opportunity to speak with a professional about this? It might be helpful to define this more formally.

It might be helpful for the questioner to consider accepting their illness and allowing themselves time to process it at their own pace. When you are truly able to do so, it will be easier for you to face it. Because only by doing so will you feel more comfortable.

I believe the anxiety the questioner currently feels may be what is commonly referred to as "death anxiety."

It might be helpful to think of death anxiety as a state of mind that can involve feelings of fear and worry when we are reminded of the inevitability of death.

Perhaps we could say that the fear of death is really just the fear of something new replacing the old.

It could be said that the fear of death can motivate people to work hard to meet challenges.

Perhaps it would be helpful for the questioner to accept the fact that everyone will die one day, and that our anxiety about death will accompany us throughout our lives, just as it does for everyone else.

I believe that everyone has a desire for "life." It is important to recognize our existence, value, and meaning. It is also essential to feel fulfilled rather than lonely.

It is an unchangeable reality that everyone will experience birth, aging, illness, and death at some point in their lives.

It might be helpful to think about how death anxiety can manifest in different ways in our lives. One way is as a physical discomfort or frequent thoughts about death. Another way is as an internalized anxiety that can be less perceptible and manifest as unexplained anxiety or the transfer of this anxiety to unrelated things in life.

For the questioner, I suspect you may have the following two thoughts:

It might be helpful to consider the possibility that the fear of illness is a factor.

For instance, the doctor informed me that I had a potentially risky lung nodule. I researched it further and, understandably, I am feeling quite concerned. I am afraid that I may not survive this illness.

Given the circumstances, it is possible that anxiety may result in physical discomfort.

For instance, you might experience feelings of anxiety accompanied by physical symptoms such as sweating, breathlessness or feelings of panic. These sensations can be quite distressing.

For instance, it is possible that you may have difficulty sleeping or may wake up at night because you are preoccupied with the negative aspects of illness.

For this reason, it may be helpful to view this "death anxiety" as a potential signal, and to be mindful of it when it arises.

It may be the case that anxiety signals indicate unprocessed complexes, unfinished mourning, or unrecognized inner longings.

Perhaps it would be helpful to consider what the questioner could do differently.

If I might offer my opinion, I believe it would be beneficial to avoid dwelling on complex issues. Instead, we can address challenges as they arise. It might be helpful to examine each problem individually. I believe it is important to accept the current situation. After all, the disease of pulmonary nodules can significantly impact people's physical and mental well-being. Perhaps it would be constructive to focus on the present.

Regarding the lung nodules, it would be advisable for the questioner to seek the advice of a professional physician again. I hope for a speedy recovery!

In terms of mental health, it would be beneficial for the questioner to recognize the significant psychological pressure they are currently facing and allow themselves the space to "grow."

If it is truly challenging to confront, or if you are unable to do so, it might be helpful to accept the present circumstances, as I mentioned earlier, without hastily anticipating the future.

We can begin by considering two possible approaches. The first is to acknowledge the reality of having a risky lung nodule and accept it. The other is to consider the impact of the disease on your future and have the courage to face the future. If you feel you are not yet ready to do so, then perhaps the first approach would be a good place to start.

Research suggests that when faced with loss, people often experience a series of stages.

(1) The numbness stage, (2) protest and anger, (3) disappointment and sadness, and (4) the ability to reconnect.

It is natural to experience numbness, denial, and blame as ways of protecting ourselves. At this time, we may not yet be ready to face the loss, which can result in a temporary state of emotional isolation.

When a person's sense of pain is less intense and they can tolerate it, they may then enter the next stage.

If the pain is intense, it is possible that you may find yourself returning to a previous stage and moving back and forth between different stages, experiencing a range of emotions including mourning and acceptance.

It may be helpful to allow yourself to grieve.

In this process, we can learn to let go of the pressures and pains that we are experiencing, find activities that help us to relax, and make a list of things that we can do when we feel overwhelmed.

The questioner may experience feelings of sadness, which could potentially lead to feelings of depression or anxiety.

Could I ask what the emotion of sadness means?

It is often the case that when we cry or grieve, we feel unable to do anything, slow down, become more quiet, or feel low. This sadness can help us to let go of what we are doing and give us the strength to move forward.

Grief is an important emotion that can help us come to terms with our loss, particularly when it comes to accepting the loss of a relationship, person, or thing.

It would be beneficial to treat your illness well. If your risk of lung nodules is reduced, it is likely that your anxiety will be reduced as well.

We would like to suggest a few ways to help reduce anxiety:

You might like to consider trying some positive suggestions to help you build more confidence.

You might like to try telling yourself some positive things.

For example, you might consider asking yourself, "I accept the situation as it is, so perhaps I can start to reduce my illness from now on?" and "Maybe my risk is not that high." (It would be wise to have this assessed by a professional doctor.)

If the questioner wishes to offer himself positive suggestions, it may be helpful to accept his situation along the way.

Naturally, even if we accept it, we need a process, and in this process, we need positive suggestions. It is also important to take into account the actual situation of your illness and not exaggerate.

It might be helpful to seek professional medical help to alleviate your condition, which could greatly relieve your anxiety.

It might also be helpful for the questioner to consult literature and other materials to learn more about the disease of pulmonary nodules. This could provide a deeper understanding of the disease, which might be useful for future treatment. While we cannot make the disease disappear, we can reduce its impact on us, which might help us to tolerate it better.

It seems that the higher one's tolerance for uncertainty, the less likely one is to feel anxious. One of the most fundamental ways to increase tolerance for uncertainty might be to cognitively realize that things develop in an iterative manner.

It seems that the questioner is seeking reassurance that they are not alone in facing this challenge. While we all experience difficulties in life, if we can find ways to manage our condition and reduce the impact of this situation, it can help to alleviate some of the anxiety that comes with it.

I would like to suggest that the questioner consider seeking social support. Having a group of loved ones, friends, or even a couple to accompany you and provide support during difficult times could help to ease your psychological pressure.

It is important to recognize that there are many things in life that we cannot control. When faced with such challenges, it is not always possible to resolve all issues through sheer strength of character. What we need in these moments is the courage to face the lung nodules head-on.

I'm Ju Ju, and I just wanted to say take care.

Hello. Based on your question, I am going to give you the following advice.

First and foremost, don't scare yourself. Doctors see a lot and are sensitive to the symptoms of many diseases.

Experts are more perfunctory with patients who do not have obvious symptoms, while young doctors are usually more serious. This kind of recognition is good for relieving your anxiety. If the doctor tells you to observe, just keep a level head and wait for the results of the next examination.

Second, if there is nothing physically wrong, understand a condition called "somatoform disorder." It may correspond to your symptoms better than other diseases. The symptoms of somatoform disorder are not set in stone.

I decided that my problem was this somatization disorder.

Third, a major cause of anxiety about illness is a lack of knowledge about various diseases. Either don't do any research at all and trust that your doctor will tell you if there's anything to worry about, or do some in-depth research and get some more professional information to seriously understand.

Firstly, you must distract yourself from the anxiety. Secondly, you must discover the truth. Every day, people face so many risks. But how many of their friends and loved ones have terminal illnesses? Are these illnesses really as common as one might expect?

The probability of several terminal illness symptoms appearing at the same time in oneself is not something to worry about.

Fourth, if the anxiety is severe and you really can't break the vicious cycle on your own, go to the psychiatric department and register. This kind of mild to moderate anxiety is a very common problem. I was anxious for more than six months, and at the worst I was anxious as long as I was awake. I took anti-anxiety medication for three months and got better. I stopped taking the medication for more than two years and it hasn't come back.

The recurrence of this situation varies from person to person, but stopping anxiety has a significant effect. I didn't experience the side effects of the medication much, except that when I took it, I felt like my mind slowed down, but that gradually improved after I stopped taking it.

I wish you the best.

Hello. I am a student at Yixinli Panda. First of all, thank you for your question. I am going to discuss our problem from my perspective and I am confident that I can inspire you.

Your body reflects your state of mind. Relax your body and mind to feel comfortable. Your body will relax and feel better, maintaining a good state of health. I can feel your anxiety, worry, and fear. Let's adjust our state of mind. The things we worry about are our thoughts. They may not happen.

Let me be clear: 80% of the things we worry about will never actually happen. It is our thoughts that make us fearful and afraid. Short-term anxiety can increase our motivation to deal with problems, which is good. Prolonged or excessive anxiety is a sign that we need to seek medical help.

We can find more resources to help us reduce anxiety. We must solve our anxiety because feeling anxious is uncomfortable.

Meditate. It works. The exercises on Meditation Planet are a great place to start. You'll feel the anxiety lift after just a few sessions. And if you need a little extra help, a counselor can guide you through the process of adjusting your thinking to overcome anxiety.

Take control of your emotions. Meditate. Seek counseling. These are the keys to a better state of mind. Meditation Planet offers excellent guidance and counseling services. They can help you overcome your anxieties and soothe your emotions. Try the meditation exercises on Meditation Planet. Breathe in and silently recite the word calm. Breathe out and silently recite the word relax. Practice daily and adjust over time. You will gradually calm down and relax. You will have a good mental state, sleep well, eat well, and stay happy and comfortable. This is very helpful for physical recovery and physical condition. Form a virtuous cycle. A good state of mind brings about a good physical state. A good physical state makes us feel good.

You can do this. I know you can. The world and I love you.

Dear Sir/Madam, I have carefully reviewed your statement and believe that my previous response was incomplete.

I empathize with your current situation. It is not uncommon to experience anxiety about matters that may not be easily articulated. The test results have undoubtedly heightened your anxiety, and you are uncertain about the best course of action.

The author of "Rebuilding Your Life," whom I recommended to you yesterday, had a relatively serious illness. However, due to some changes in her cognition and behavior, a remarkable recovery was achieved.

It should be noted that not all diseases are psychosomatic.

Treating the symptoms can indeed relieve some of the symptoms caused by the disease. For psychosomatic diseases, both the mind and body must be treated at the same time, addressing both the symptoms and the root cause. It is essential to adjust our thinking, correct our behavior, properly relieve stress, and take positive action.

It is important to gain an understanding of the processes involved in physical and mental illness.

Furthermore, guidance is required on how to deal with our usual emotions.

It is important to note that both positive and negative emotions are normal and natural. Human emotions encompass a range of feelings, including happiness, sadness, and fear. It is essential to allow these emotions to exist.

It is important to accept all emotions, including those that arise.

Firstly, identify the emotions you are experiencing. Are you feeling fearful or worried?

Or is it a sense of sadness or disappointment?

It is important to recognize and accept your emotions.

Identify which part of the body is experiencing discomfort and provide appropriate comfort, as you would for a child.

Engage in constructive dialogue with your emotions. Ask yourself: Am I afraid at the moment? Worried?

What are the potential concerns?

It is possible that your own interpretation is unreasonable. It is not necessary to demand perfection, and it is acceptable to make mistakes.

This process requires multiple attempts to achieve the desired outcome.

Transform uncertainty into certainty.

Is certainty the optimal objective in this situation? The world is inherently dynamic and receptive to change.

Please find attached Louise Hay's chart of the body and mind for your reference.

I also hope you will make good use of the power of positive thinking, maintain your exercise regimen, ensure adequate rest, and believe that change will happen.

Hello, dear question asker! I know that at this time, all high-minded theories are of little use to you, and all the comfort of others and self-comfort seems pale and powerless in front of you. I can relate to this because I have experienced serious illness in many of my loved ones, the difficulty and anxiety of being outside the operating room, and I have also witnessed the death of my loved ones. I have also personally experienced the suffocation of my child in the womb during childbirth, witnessed the doctor's panic and unease in his eyes, and personally experienced emergency resuscitation, vomiting during surgery that almost caused suffocation, and heavy bleeding during and after surgery. I'm here for you, and I'm sending you lots of love and support!

It can be tough for folks who haven't experienced the feeling of standing on the brink of death to really understand. I also find comfort in the thought that "as long as I and my family are safe and healthy, nothing else matters." This way of thinking has some great benefits and a few challenges, too. On the plus side, it really helps us let go of a lot of things. On the other hand, once there's a problem with the health of myself and my family, it can have a bigger impact on us mentally. Our health and the health of our loved ones has become our psychological bottom line, and it's a line that gets our attention more than others do. Other people might think that if they're sick, they'll seek treatment, and if they're not sick, they won't care. But we're really sensitive to our physical indicators.

As I mentioned before, big words don't help much when you're afraid of dying. So I'll keep it simple and focus on what you can do.

It's so important to be careful with yourself. If you find it hard to stop thinking, I'd suggest you try to think more, think further ahead and make more preparations.

We really think it would be a great idea for you to chat with a professional doctor at a professional hospital. It's so important to pay attention to what the doctor says and to have follow-up examinations. You can also search for information on the internet, but don't just look for negative cases. It's also really helpful to look at some positive cases, so you can feel more confident and hopeful. You can also chat with a professional doctor online, which can really help to ease your anxiety. You can also chat with people in similar physical conditions on post bars or other platforms. Talking with "people of the same mind" can also really help to lift your mood.

We really recommend that you prepare for the worst while doing all of the above to prepare for the best. It's so important to prepare for the worst in advance, both mentally and in terms of actions. For example, who will take care of you while you are bedridden? If there is someone who can do this, it's a great idea to communicate with them in advance and express your gratitude and thanks in advance with actions and words.

For example, things like how to arrange your own funeral, how to take care of your parents, your loved ones, and your children, and how to arrange insurance and property.

I know what I'm saying might not be what everyone else thinks, but when you're facing that fear of death, doing something, especially preparing mentally and physically for serious illness or even death, will help you feel more in control. Once you're ready, you'll feel more at ease and more willing to face life and death.

All that's left for us to do is to do our best and leave the rest up to God.

If, after observation and further examination, your body is found to be in good condition, we suggest that you gradually shift your focus from your own health to that of your family members. This is especially true if any of your relatives or friends is ill and bedridden and needs care. We think you'll find it really rewarding to take time out to care for them, or you could even take time out to visit a nursing home and apply to be a hospice volunteer!

I suggest this because when you see a lot of birth, aging, sickness, and death, you'll become less sensitive to it. You'll be able to handle it better. After experiencing and seeing a lot, your view of life and death will be more open-minded. You'll have a new understanding and epiphany about the meaning of life. As I said before, it's difficult for those who have not experienced it to have this feeling of epiphany. It can only be understood, and it is difficult to explain. Everyone's epiphany is different.

I really hope you find your strength, hope, and a new lease on life in the future! Wishing you all the best!

Hello! I just wanted to give you a big, warm hug from afar.

I can see how worried you are, how uneasy you feel, and how anxious you are when a lesion is detected during a physical examination.

It's totally normal to feel a bit panicky, scared, and uneasy when you discover a physical abnormality. You've always been really mindful of your health, and it's natural to feel a little overwhelmed. So, give yourself permission to feel all those uncomfortable emotions, like unease, anxiety, and panic. Then, take some time to understand what's really going on underneath them.

It's totally normal to have all kinds of fears when you're facing illness. It's natural to worry about things like dying, losing the love and companionship of your family, or losing everything you've worked for because of your illness. It's also normal to hope that your illness is just a minor issue, like a harmless nodule caused by local inflammation that will completely heal after anti-inflammatory treatment.

So, it's totally normal to feel afraid and anxious when you're facing illness. It can be scary to think about death and loss, and it can make it feel like you're losing control of your life. When we feel out of control, it's natural to feel insecure. If we don't get the support, acceptance, understanding, and response to our emotions and feelings about death and loss that we need, it can really take a toll on our body and mind.

It's totally normal to feel overwhelmed by emotions when we're faced with challenging situations. It's like our emotional responses aren't always in sync with what's going on around us. When we feel overwhelmed, it's like our emotions get all mixed up, making it hard to see the resources and abilities we have to cope with difficulties. This can lead us to feel like we're at a loss. But, when we're faced with the unknown of death and loss, a moderate degree of fear, unease, and worry can actually help us make more objective and rational judgments, analyze the situation, and seek out resources to better cope with the situation in a timely manner. This helps us minimize the risk as much as possible.

So, why not try keeping an emotional diary? This can be a great way to help you understand and cope with your emotions. It can help you to identify the underlying needs and then respond in a positive way to your illness. For example, you could seek the support of your family, while also seeking guidance from your doctor. You could also try to increase your courage through positive thinking. You could even try to communicate more with other patients to understand their experiences. And don't forget to tell your family and close friends how you're feeling. When you can express your emotions, especially the negative ones, you'll feel better.

Hi, I'm Yang Lili, and I'm so happy to be able to share my experience with you. I really hope that what I say can help you in some way. I'm sending you all my love and wishing you a speedy recovery!

Hello, I'm Yifei. I think most people have felt anxious at some point, and I've been there too.

So, with just a few words, I can get a sense of how you're feeling.

If you say that you also have physical health problems, that can make things even more difficult.

You mentioned you have an anxiety disorder. How does that affect your approach to health problems? Are you aware that maintaining a positive outlook can have a positive impact on your overall well-being?

You mentioned you have an anxiety disorder. How does that affect your health? And do you know that a positive outlook is good for your health?

It's a two-way street, though. Physical health problems can also make people more anxious.

You feel anxious for no particular reason, and you think that this is causing health problems?

Now, let's look at the disadvantages of anxiety.

Research shows that 60-80% of illnesses are psychosomatic, meaning they're caused by a physical disorder triggered by a build-up of negative emotions.

If you don't let negative emotions out, they can affect your body in ways that make you more likely to get sick.

Your body might be sending you a signal that you're feeling a certain way. It could be that you need to be noticed, or you're feeling unhappy, fearful, loved, or like you want to express yourself.

What is anxiety?

Where you live, what era you're in, your individual perception, your physiology—all of these can contribute to feelings of anxiety.

Anxiety is usually an emotion caused by uncertainty. It can be simply understood as worry or irritability, and these feelings stem from the uncertainty of the unknown.

And what causes "uncertainty"? Why do we feel anxious?

What causes anxiety?

Your physical makeup, including things like your neuroendocrine system, or changes in your body's hormones due to illness, can also play a role.

Demanding perfection

They're obsessed with "I should," "I must," and "I need."

Not knowing where the lines are drawn

The wrong self-perception

How can I find more certainty to help reduce my anxiety?

It might be a good idea to chat with your doctor about your physiological needs.

Nobody's perfect. We all have our strengths and weaknesses.

There's no need to be anything you're not, and trying to meet unreasonable standards will only lead to anxiety.

It's important to know the difference between what's your business and what's other people's business. You'll feel more relaxed and at ease when you have a clear boundary.

It's good to be comfortable in your own skin and to do what you can.

If you have a moment, I'd encourage you to read one of my articles, "How Your Emotions Determine Your 'Destiny'?" or the book Rebuilding Your Life. Both of them include Louise L. Hay's chart of mind-body correspondences.

I recommend checking out Louise L. Hay's chart of body-mind correspondences as a reference, but keep in mind that this isn't a doctor's diagnosis. Not all diseases are psychosomatic, so don't take it out of context.

She says the throat is about speaking up for yourself. When there's a problem, it might be a rights issue.

Sore throats are usually caused by anger, and if you also have a cold or flu, you might experience some confusion in your thinking.

The throat is also a creative area, and creativity that is suppressed and cannot be changed is generally prone to somatic reactions in this area. General thyroid problems and tonsillitis are the result of creativity being thwarted and not being able to do what you want.

I really hope your good mood and your body will have a positive cycle and promote each other.

Hello, question asker! I can really understand how you feel. I believe that if anyone finds small nodules in their lungs, the first thing they will probably think is, "Could it be a tumor?"

Could it possibly develop into a tumor? That's a valid concern. Another questioner mentioned that they are naturally anxious, which is something we should all be aware of.

If you are usually health-conscious, you may be somewhat taken aback when you discover that there is a minor issue. You may feel that this is something you should not allow to happen, as if you were carrying a time bomb.

Everyone wants to be healthy, but if you start to feel anxious when you notice something wrong, it may not be the best approach for your health. A certain degree of worry and anxiety can be beneficial, as it motivates people.

Perhaps it would be helpful to take action, find a way to solve the problem, and work towards a solution.

How might one cope with the anxiety that can arise from excessive worry about one's condition?

1. It may be helpful to first accept the situation and avoid making it more difficult for yourself by constantly questioning it. For example, you might say to yourself, "I usually care so much about my health, so how could it be me?" After acceptance, you can then give yourself some time to ease up. During this process, you can learn some authoritative knowledge in this area. However, you might find it helpful to block out some non-authoritative popular science knowledge, as it could increase your anxiety and sense of fear.

2. It is important to understand that when a person is anxious, they may tend to amplify problems and misinterpret issues, which can exacerbate their anxiety. The more anxious they become, the more they may start to imagine things, and the more they start to imagine things, the more anxious they become, and they may fall into a cycle. This could potentially make something that was not a problem before become a problem. From a holistic perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, a person's illness is likely not caused by the physical aspect alone. It is thought to include the three major aspects of psychology, physiology, and society. People are inseparable from their bodies and minds, and they are also immersed in their environment. So when you look back at yourself, do you usually pay attention to your physical health as well as your mental health?

It is often helpful to approach your problems with a rational and scientific mindset. When you find yourself exaggerating or amplifying the issue, it can be beneficial to take a step back and remind yourself that your perception may not be entirely accurate. It's important to acknowledge your feelings, but try not to dwell on them unnecessarily. Take a deep breath and refocus your attention on the present moment.

3. When you have concerns about illness, it's important to recognize that anxiety can often be a natural response. It's helpful to remind yourself that your problems are likely minor and that, with the right approach, they won't necessarily impact your health. Regular check-ups, a consistent exercise routine, maintaining a positive outlook, and finding ways to release emotions can all contribute to a healthy mindset and body.

4. It is important to recognize that nobody is perfect, and that everyone has some minor problems. We should strive to be good at accepting some minor problems in our bodies and regard these problems as a kind of alarm bell that reminds us: "Perhaps it would be beneficial to learn to talk to the problems in your body, because if it weren't for the reminders and warnings of these minor problems, then perhaps you would never cherish and care for your body as much as you do now.

5. It might be helpful to ask yourself what you are most afraid of when you see this result. If the worst outcome occurs, it might be useful to consider what the one thing you cannot let go of is.

Could you please share what your unfulfilled dreams are in life? And if it's not too personal, could you tell me why you developed a nodule in your lung?

If this nodule had a message for you, what do you think it might be?

I wish you the best of luck!

The poster is anxious. They may be highly sensitive and worry at the slightest thing.

The host was devastated when he found a lung nodule. It felt like a time bomb, and he couldn't rest until it was removed. He might be a perfectionist.

The landlord's anxiety is probably about perfection.

Perfectionists can't handle mistakes.

If you were a child and didn't do something right, you'd be blamed or punished.

People believe they must do things perfectly so others will be beyond reproach.

A defect is like a hidden danger.

This may be why the landlord is anxious.

What does a physical illness have to do with this?

If you had a lump on your body, people would say it was imperfect. It's like when we see something that doesn't look good. We call it a thorn in our eye and we have to pull it out to feel comfortable again.

You can see the nail, but you can't tolerate it.

Order, rules, neatness, fluency, smoothness, and integrity are all compulsive.

It has been forced and controlled, so it repeats itself compulsively.

It can also be seen as mental cleanliness.

Anxiety attacks can make you feel like you're about to collapse.

It's a loss of control. It's a fear of losing control of your life.

How can this problem be solved?

1. First, address your health concerns.

The doctor says to watch it. It might be harmless, and no treatment is needed. If it gets bigger, then think about what you can do.

Research lung nodule formation and prognosis.

The answers on the Internet are mixed, so learn to identify them yourself.

Nodules are caused by blocked blood and qi.

Understanding this principle helps you find ways to unblock it.

Running gets the blood flowing and increases lung volume.

If the nodule doesn't drain and the other parts work, it won't affect lung function.

You must learn to live with diseases that are not serious or incurable.

2. Then find the root of your anxiety.

Your anxiety may be related to an excessive pursuit of perfection.

The best way to solve this is to allow.

Do things badly.

Allow yourself to be weak.

Let yourself have difficulties you can't overcome.

Eat grains and millet and get minor illnesses.

When you have permission, you can live in peace with all things.

Bad things won't make you anxious.

Finally, two more points:

Relax.

If you care about your health, bless yourself.

You are healthy, so don't worry!

I'm Yan Guilai, a counselor. I hope I've helped you.

Good day, question asker! I'm delighted to have this opportunity to address your question.

First, offer a reassuring gesture like a pat on the shoulder. It's natural to feel anxious when facing health challenges. It's important to understand whether the questioner's anxiety is a result of a specific mental illness or if it's more general. It would also be helpful to understand when the anxiety began and if there have been any previous experiences that might have contributed to it.

It might be helpful to consider whether handling things that you are familiar with well could help to reduce your anxiety. It is understandable that you might feel anxious in the face of a sudden illness, as many people do. It could be helpful to think about whether this feeling of anxiety is more common or unique to you.

Could I ask you to consider whether the anxiety or worry about the condition is something that you are experiencing alone?

It would be interesting to know whether, when most people encounter a situation like the questioner's, for example, when their situation is different from the general public, everyone experiences anxiety. Or, when faced with the same situation, only the questioner experiences anxiety, while others feel indifferent?

It would be beneficial for the question asker to consider this matter carefully.

It is understandable that some people may feel anxious in similar situations. It is important to remember that the most important thing is how we respond to our emotions when something happens.

The questioner may also wish to inquire with the doctor as to whether this situation is more common, how to prevent deterioration over time, how many tests to take each year, and how to live a healthy life every day. Should the advice provided by the doctor not meet the questioner's expectations, it may be helpful to seek the input of a professional health manager, who could conduct a professional health assessment and management of the questioner's physical condition. This could help to ensure that the questioner's questions are answered in a way that is more secure and less anxiety-inducing.

Given the nature of this question being posed on an online platform, I can only offer some straightforward advice to help address the questioner's concerns.

It might be helpful to take a moment to write down what you perceive to be the worst possible outcome.

Many people feel nervous about giving a public speech. One way to overcome this feeling is to make a list of all the negative thoughts that are swirling around in your mind. Once you have written them down and made them explicit, you may find that you can look at your own affairs as if they were someone else's affairs. This can help you to feel more relaxed.

At this juncture, it may become apparent that the worst-case scenario is not as dire as initially perceived.

The questioner seems to be experiencing some anxiety regarding his current physical condition. Even if the doctor is unable to provide a clear diagnosis of the illness, it seems that the questioner is still struggling to let go. One possible approach could be to try writing down the worst possible outcome.

Perhaps it would be helpful to consider what the worst possible outcome might be. Is it something you could accept if it were to happen?

If I might make a suggestion, it would be this: if you were to become unwell, could the hospital cure you? If not, might the country's medical resources be able to help?

If it can be cured, then what is the questioner worried about? You may find it helpful to write it down.

Please take a moment to list the problems that are on your mind.

Please take a moment to list the problems that are on your mind. Be honest with yourself, and identify the three problems that are most pressing for you at this time. For each problem, write down three potential solutions. Even the person who originally asked the question can focus on the problem that is most important to them, try to find a solution on their own, or ask others for help.

Should the questioner feel that they are unable to resolve the issue, they may wish to consider seeking the guidance of a counselor, which could prove beneficial.

It may be helpful to learn to accept your emotions.

It might be helpful to consider that anxiety is a natural response to stress. While it can be uncomfortable, it is often a way of protecting us from potential dangers. If you find yourself feeling anxious, you might try emptying your mind. This can be a way of allowing yourself to experience your emotions without the distraction of thoughts.

It might be helpful to try to accept yourself, relax your emotions, and even treat yourself to something sweet if you feel like it. If you feel you have a good grasp of the knowledge, you could even try to do something you enjoy the day before the exam, such as finding your own way to relax, so that you can face things with a positive attitude the next day.

I hope my answer is helpful to the questioner.

Hello, dear host! I just wanted to let you know that there might be an additional risk of a lung nodule, which might take some time for anyone to accept. I know this can be a scary thing to think about and might make people feel anxious and even collapse.

You also mentioned that you are prone to anxiety and nervousness yourself. I can imagine that in the face of this, you may be in a state of high tension or extreme collapse. Let's try to do some analysis and first understand the perception behind the anxiety, in the hope of alleviating your anxiety.

Let's think about this together. When we're feeling particularly anxious, like when we get a medical report from the hospital, what's our mood like? It can be pretty scary, right? We might feel afraid that we really have a disease or that the disease we have is very serious. This fear can actually bring us a sense of dread.

Fear is a deeper emotion that lies beneath anxiety. When a person is anxious, it's only natural to feel a sense of fear. For example, some people with severe anxiety disorders experience panic attacks.

Anxiety and fear are our bodies' way of protecting us. They're natural emotions that our brains and bodies produce when we encounter danger or threats. For example, when we face a serious natural disaster, we trigger the emotion of fear and know that we have to escape immediately. We also know how to protect ourselves. So, fear is a very normal emotional response. However, when we experience fear, we often feel a sense of tension, stress, discomfort, and lack of relaxation.

However, for people with an anxiety constitution, this sense of fear is often magnified. They may find it difficult to accept reality or develop hypochondriasis, which can make them anxious and restless. Why does this happen?

Our amazing brains have a system that helps us to stay safe. It's called the limbic system. It's responsible for sending us warning signals when we're in danger. Sometimes, the limbic system gets a bit over excited and releases false signals. This can cause our bodies to release a lot of adrenaline, which keeps us in a state of fight or flight.

I'm sharing this content to let you know that if we understand why anxiety and fear arise and know the principles of their occurrence, then when they come back, we can change from the original hiding and escaping to actively facing them. In fact, what they want to bring us is a sense of security afterwards.

You might not be able to stop the symptoms from happening, but you can change how you think about them and learn to take back control.

So, if there's anything I can suggest, I think the best thing you can do is first notice when anxiety and fear strike, and then be grateful for the chance to learn and grow from them.

First, I want you to know that I'm going through some anxiety again. It's okay! I'm aware of my emotions, and I'm learning to let them come and go without controlling them.

Second, when you notice anxiety, thank it for coming. Thank you for reminding me, thank you for letting me know to ensure safety.

Third, feel it leave. Emotions are like a naughty child. When it comes knocking, if you don't give it a sweet treat, it will make trouble and keep knocking for a sweet treat. But when you're happy and grateful for its arrival, and give it a sweet treat, the emotion immediately becomes a good boy and goes out to play on its own!

All external methods help us return to the inside and live in peace with our emotions. I really hope you can find this naughty child and give it a candy!

I believe in you! The world and I love you!

It's so lovely to see you here! It's like we're meeting in person.

I'm here for you. I know how you feel. My mood is as heavy as yours right now. At the end of last year, my father and I both got some scary news. Our physical exam reports showed a risk of nodules and even cancer. At the time, I was also going through a really rough patch. Every time I came back from the hospital, I felt so depressed. I searched the internet for info on the symptoms and consequences of this. I'm a psychology student and I love it, but it still took me a long time to calm my anxiety and depression. From my own journey and growth process of studying psychology, I'd like to give you some advice and support.

First, give yourself permission to feel whatever you're feeling right now. It's totally normal to feel a range of emotions when faced with a medical report that reveals health risks. So please, allow yourself to feel whatever you're feeling.

These experiences and emotions are actually a wonderful chance for you to think about the meaning of life from a different perspective. What are the most important things in life for you? Who are the people you love most? And what is meaningful to you?

Second, face the problem bravely. Medical technology has come so far that there's a good chance of detecting some early signs of illness, such as lung nodules. The doctor told me that tumors and nodules are basically the same thing. Now, medical indications require that the diameter be more than 1 cm before it is called a tumor.

If your doctor tells you that it's a nodule, it's likely that the disease is still in its early stages and there's no danger to your life as long as you get active treatment. I really believe in modern medical technology, so I'd suggest finding a good hospital and doctor to get more professional advice and options.

Third, it's so important to find your support resources. I really feel a sense of commonality when I hear you use the term "time bomb," because I've also labeled myself in this way.

Your family and friends may not be able to provide professional help, but they are a great resource you can turn to for support. Psychological research shows that talking about your feelings can help relieve anxiety and depression.

Fourth, take action and let anxiety be diverted. While accepting the doctor's diagnosis and treatment plan, it is also a great idea to find something interesting to do for yourself.

I truly believe that the value of life lies in self-growth and recognition, and in self-realization. I've often thought about this: if I had less than a year to live, and disregarding all practical considerations, what would I want to do and who would I want to see?

It can be tough to let go of everything and live the life you want. But don't worry, we all need a little indulgence sometimes! Just allow yourself to focus on your feelings and your heart, and be that child inside yourself.

I really hope that what I've shared here can help you in some way.

Hello, dear reader. It's a pleasure to meet you.

I don't know how to comfort you when you hear the results of your physical examination. I'll be frank: this is a hard reality to accept. Despite your usual care for your health, it seems that God is playing a cruel joke on you.

You are the only one who can navigate these complex and entangled emotions. The psychological battle with illness seems to start without warning, as if it were not waiting for you to get ready. This makes people really anxious and scared.

Let's analyze the problem.

1. You are right to be frustrated when you discover the results of your medical examination are so unexpected. From your description, it is clear that the psychological imbalance makes it difficult for you to regain your composure. I am certain that your mind is filled with danger signals and the question "why me?"

Doubt makes them feel the injustice of fate.

I want to make it clear that your negative feelings are completely understandable. It's simply because our self-protection mechanisms are hardwired into our brains, and they cause many instinctive responses in us.

2. The mind and body are inextricably linked, and their states affect each other. Despite the continuous evolution of human history, social progress, and modern technology, the human brain still has the ancestral self-protection mechanism of "danger-avoidance; danger-fight."

Anxiety is the signal that activates this instinctive mechanism. Moderate anxiety can enhance alertness and protect against attacks by wild animals and natural disasters. However, this brain mechanism is no longer applicable in modern society. It may exaggerate the degree of danger, causing people to overreact and live in imaginary panic.

You can gain control over the effect that anxiety has on you by actively changing the way you look at things. This will allow anxiety to live in peace with you. Furthermore, excessive anxiety is not beneficial for healing diseases. It will have a negative impact on your health, which outweighs any potential gain.

③ When faced with unexpected medical examination results, you stated that you typically prioritize your health. This indicates that your anxiety and nervousness may also be driven by anger and resentment toward perceived unfairness.

"I should not have taken this risk."

"Why did I lose my health?"

This is not fair!

These questions can lead you to fall into a cognitive trap that prevents you from seeing the problem and jumping out of it.

You have fallen into pessimism and despair by comparing your illness to an "unsolvable time bomb" and saying things like "this is breaking me." You must not treat the unknown risks of the moment as a "death sentence" that judges you. You need courage to face them if you want to recover from your illness and get well.

▸ Invitation and action

If the above helps you in any way, then take action and use the power of action to overcome the negative impact of anxiety on your body and mind.

If you cannot get rid of your anxiety on your own, seek professional psychological counseling. Anxiety is a very common and widespread emotional state, and you need the help of a professional to sort out the ins and outs so you can avoid making more detours.

You need to make a change plan for yourself. It should be based on the four aspects of "move, calm down, change your mind, and put it into practice."

Get moving! While maintaining a good daily routine, add a moderate aerobic exercise plan. Exercise is the most cost-effective way to maintain a happy mood. Exercising for at least 30 minutes at a time and getting yourself sweaty will help you get rid of negative emotions and help your brain secrete the happy hormones "dopamine and endorphins," which reduce stress. This will improve your ability to resist setbacks and make you more optimistic.

Meditation is the answer. The more anxious and restless you feel, the more you need to learn to meditate. Scientific studies have shown that long-term mindfulness meditation changes the structure of the brain, enriching it with positive neural tissue and brain cells. This makes the body healthier and more relaxed, and leads to a peaceful state of mind and a sense of well-being.

This will help you recover from your illness.

Change your mindset. Your thoughts influence how you view things and your state of mind. When you felt helpless and collapsed when you sensed the disease was starting, you probably had a pessimistic, negative state of mind. This triggered learned helplessness and rumination.

Changing your mindset is about finding the positive in what may seem like a bad event. It may be a messenger reminding you to love yourself more, or a warning to cherish the time you spend with the people close to you. You must discover the subtle positive meaning in it to weaken the generalized sense of frustration brought on by illness. For example, you may think that this illness is irreversible, that there is no turning point, and that it is a permanent setback.

Practice is the principle of action that means what you say and do. Use the power of taking action to weaken the negative impact of anxiety and focus your attention on what matters to you.

You must adopt an open and accepting attitude towards reality. You can only live in peace with it by first facing yourself and accepting the imperfections of reality.

I also hope that you can record your journey of change in words. When you recover, you will find that looking back on this difficult psychological journey is an important experience and an asset in your life. If you can think and do this, anxiety will no longer be a complete bad thing in front of you.

The self-care theory states, "Taking care of yourself is the greatest contribution you can make to the world." I know you will recover quickly. The world and I love you.

Hello, questioner! Let's listen to what Big Brother Da Tou has to say!

⭕️ It's totally normal to feel anxious, but don't worry! It doesn't mean it won't happen again after the anxiety has passed. You can take a scientific and rational approach to help you feel more in control.

Everyone feels a little anxious when they have a minor physical condition, and that's totally normal! It's important to remember that anxiety won't help the situation. If you feel too much anxiety, it can affect your normal thinking and rationality. But don't worry! There are ways to treat it in a scientific and rational manner.

⭕️ Then find a great hospital to have a follow-up exam, and then get treated and take care of yourself according to the diagnosis and recommendations of different doctors in different hospitals.

I highly recommend that you find a better hospital to get a second opinion and see how different doctors diagnose it. It's so important to get a second opinion because the level and diagnosis conclusions of each doctor will also differ. Listen to different opinions and suggestions, and then comprehensively consider how to proceed with maintenance and treatment.

⭕️ Anxiety can go in two directions. And you can choose which one you go in! If you can get a good handle on it and turn it into a positive force, you will be in a much better state.

Moderate anxiety is actually a great thing! It will motivate you to face and solve problems head-on. For example, if you find out about a minor physical condition, you'll adjust your routine or habits to address the underlying cause and supplement something to alleviate it and make your body better. This is the positive effect!

If you are overly anxious, you will not be able to face problems calmly, which means you have the opportunity to learn how to face and deal with problems normally. It will also give you the chance to feel better and affect your physical condition for the better.

It's understandable to be concerned about the issues you've been facing with your physical exam. It's clear that this has caused a lot of instability in your personal life. You're aware of your anxious constitution, as this problem has also caused a lot of worry and tension.

It's true that something upsetting has happened to your physical health. You might want to ask your doctor for advice on how to deal with it and whether it can be treated.

Lots of health risks can be treated or alleviated. This risk of lung nodules can impact your health, but if you can get the right treatment, it might help put your mind at ease.

The doctor said you can observe, and in the meantime, you can also strengthen physical exercise, make your life more regular, and truly enjoy your life. When your heart is full of sunshine, even if there are some hidden dangers, they will slowly become benign or not to be feared with your mentality.

Your physical and mental health influence each other and can be mutually promoted in various ways. I'd recommend that you look into psychological counseling to help you adjust at the psychological level, influence your physical fitness from a mental health perspective, live in the present, accept the facts as they are, and see what efforts you can make.

ZQ?

You have expressed that this nodule is causing you a great deal of stress. You have also mentioned that you typically place a great deal of attention on your health, which leads me to believe that you are also very concerned about potential health risks.

It seems that you have already recognized that you are someone who tends to feel anxious. One positive aspect of anxiety is that it encourages us to think about the future and make preparations. However, it can also make it challenging to fully enjoy the present moment, as we tend to worry about the future.

It might be helpful to consider whether those unfortunate events are truly inevitable. What is the most unfavorable outcome you can imagine occurring?

If you can accept the possibility of the worst outcome, then you may find it easier to manage your concerns.

Let's revisit the topic of the nodule. You have identified it as a potential concern. When we initially receive such a result, it can naturally lead to a range of concerns, including its seriousness, the complexity of the treatment, and its impact on our lives. However, it's important to recognize that it's simply a reminder of the risk. I have a personal experience that illustrates this. A classmate of mine whose mother was initially told that she had a cancer risk underwent a biopsy and was found to have a benign condition. She had already written her will, but in the end, she was fine.

Modern medicine has made great strides, and with active cooperation, there is a possibility of a cure.

It is worth noting that when our body is in a state of anxiety, our resistance may weaken, and we may receive a warning. This could be indicative of a state of low energy. Studies have shown that there may be a correlation between anxiety and gastritis.

It is thought that people who are anxious are more likely to develop ulcers. This illness could therefore be a helpful reminder for you to learn to reduce your stress and enjoy the present.

It would be beneficial to consider a positive approach to treatment and to try to maintain a positive outlook on life.

I believe we can do this together!
