For about one or two years, have you often felt anxious and afraid, and experienced dizziness due to tension?

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing in response to your query regarding your ongoing anxiety and fear, which you have experienced for approximately a year or two. You have also mentioned that you frequently feel dizzy due to nervousness. Anxiety and fear can be caused by an individual's heightened sensitivity to certain issues and instances of intense emotional response. I hope this information is helpful. Kind regards, [Name]

It is important to note that anxiety and fear are normal emotions. However, dizziness due to nervousness may indicate that the body's nervous system has been triggered, which can potentially lead to dizziness.

You indicated that it has been approximately a year or two. I have experienced occasional concern since an unexpected heart palpitation two years ago.

Even now, I still experience occasional bouts of anxiety. I am concerned about the possibility of illness and legal issues.

Additionally, you frequently experience dizziness due to nervousness.

Such an incident may also result in a traumatic reaction in the heart, which may then induce physical symptoms when certain things, scenes, or people stimulate the emotions.

This passage states that during my high school years, I frequently experienced pain. However, it only subsided for a year or two, leading me to believe that I would never again experience such discomfort. Nevertheless, it resurfaced.

Some time ago, I was on the verge of being admitted to graduate school. Due to my concerns about not being accepted, I experienced gastrointestinal discomfort for more than half a month.

If you feel better after a year or two, it indicates that the factors in your life that previously triggered your irritability have changed. When you encounter people or situations that irritate you again, there is a possibility that you will experience a physiological reaction.

Given that the issue is present and cannot be removed, attempting to escape from the symptoms will only result in greater restriction and the intensification of the problem.

The physiological reactions of the intestines and stomach are also caused by an emotional generalization triggered by excessive psychological concern about something, excessive thinking, and internal consumption, which evokes physical symptoms.

It is therefore important to maintain objective awareness of your psychological state and avoid becoming trapped in the cycle of automatic thinking, which will only serve to hinder your ability to find a solution.

As you mentioned later, the closer I get to achieving my goal, the more intense the discomfort becomes. It's not what I truly want. I'm simply seeking a master's degree in exchange for a promising future career.

I am uncertain of my true objectives. However, I am aware that the hard work will continue after the initial challenges have been overcome.

This statement also indicates a discrepancy in your objectives. What is your desired outcome? The discomfort you experience is a result of the goal's proximity while the perception of unattainability persists.

Or what?

It is essential to ascertain your true inner self and align your actions with that understanding, rather than pursuing external validation and attempting to alter circumstances that are beyond your control.

If you are seeking a position with a good salary and benefits, I encourage you to pursue that goal. Apply your skills in a variety of ways to determine what you want to achieve.

If you are unable to clearly articulate your desired outcome, it may be an indication that you are uncertain about your future objectives.

How to adjust:

1. Accept the current situation and your emotions, and do not attempt to fight against the symptoms. In some cases, physical symptoms such as dizziness and gastrointestinal problems may be caused by emotional tension that leads to physical stimulation. This can result in the abnormal secretion of neurotransmitters in the brain, autonomic nervous system disorders, and the parasympathetic nerve being unable to coordinate the sympathetic nerve, which may trigger some somatic symptoms of physiological stimulation.

It is therefore crucial to identify the underlying causes of your anxiety and fear.

Start with the reality of the situation, avoid excessive mental energy expenditure, acknowledge emotional and physical feelings, dissociate cognitively, and avoid strengthening the subjective consciousness's response to symptoms. It is not necessary to reject these factors; rather, it is more productive to accept them and work with them constructively.

Do your best, don't dwell on what you can't do, don't worry about what you can't control, and don't be overly ambitious. This will lead to a more focused and less confusing life.

2. There is a commonly held view that there are two main strategies for improving the quality of life: firstly, to modify external conditions to align with our goals; and secondly, to adapt our perception of external conditions so that they are in line with our goals.

In other words, it is essential to set realistic objectives and recognize that the attainment of these goals is contingent upon the prevailing circumstances.

Life is not always straightforward. It is important to have faith in your objectives and work diligently, taking small steps on a regular basis. Over time, these actions will lead to significant progress.

Success is the result of a cumulative process of experience gained through continuous effort. It is achieved by making incremental progress on a daily basis.

Similarly, life can be likened to a significant examination. When confronted with a challenging test, it is sufficient to strive for excellence and participate fully. Even if you are aware that you may not achieve a perfect score, you may still pass with flying colors. Even if you earn a few points, you have still demonstrated a level of participation that is commendable.

Therefore, the value of life lies in trying, constantly challenging oneself, rather than setting limits that may hinder growth. It is essential to provide oneself with inspiration and support.

I would like to suggest the book Self-Help for Anxiety Disorders as a further source of information. This book deals with anxiety, fear and other emotions that can cause physical symptoms. It offers advice on how to regulate these feelings.

Furthermore, you mentioned that you have experienced an unexpected heart palpitations trauma in the past. I would like to suggest that you read the book The Body Never Forgets.

It is essential to integrate your body and mind state, learn at a gradual pace, practice in a systematic manner, and allow for gradual growth. All of this should be done in the present moment and with dedication to each challenging practice.

I advise you to practise mindfulness meditation, which can also enhance your awareness and facilitate the healing of past trauma. It relieves anxiety and relaxes the body and mind.

I trust that the above will prove helpful.

You mentioned that since the unexpected heart palpitations two years ago, you have often felt worried and anxious, and you often feel dizzy from nervousness. I can relate to that. I also had gastrointestinal discomfort for more than half a month because of my worries about being admitted to graduate school.

As you get closer to achieving your goal, you may find that the painful feelings become stronger. It can be difficult to know what you want, and it's easy to feel like everything is just talk.

It may be helpful to consider that your emotions are actually very suppressed, and they often manifest themselves through physical symptoms, such as palpitations, dizziness, and gastrointestinal discomfort. If emotions can be expressed, they may not manifest themselves through physical symptoms.

It is often said that the heart represents love, the head represents stress, and the stomach and intestines represent the digestive system. This could suggest that you have a lot of pent-up grievances, anger, and other negative emotions inside, and that you have been under a lot of pressure but unable to express it.

I believe that, first and foremost, it would be beneficial for you to learn to understand yourself better. Could I ask why you feel the need to wallow in pain?

It's possible that such physical symptoms can help you get the attention and care you need, and enable you to get what you want and benefit from it. It might be that this is a way you're familiar with, and that you're not yet able to face stress in another way.

Secondly, it would be beneficial to learn how to express your emotions or feelings, and to find a counselor to help you release them. It is important to allow your emotions to flow freely, rather than accumulating and building up inside.

If I might make one more suggestion, it would be to consider exploring your inner needs with the help of a counselor. When you understand yourself better, you may find it easier to take responsibility for yourself.

Perhaps it would be helpful to consider making some gradual adjustments and changes.

I wish you the best of luck!

Good afternoon, question asker!

I'll give you a warm hug from afar.

From what you've said, I get the sense that you're feeling anxious about the possibility of getting into graduate school. It's like you're reliving a fear you had as a junior high student. What did you do back then that made you feel so much better?

We can use what we've learned from past experiences to help us deal with the emotions we're facing now, like anxiety, fear, terror, and worry.

It seems that the questioner is not only going through a tough time, but they've also experienced a change in their psychological state. This has led to a physical response. From a psychological perspective, this could be considered a psychological issue and a phenomenon of somatization. I'd also like to remind the questioner that if they're unable to resolve this on their own or get out of this state, psychological counseling can help us gain inner psychological energy and find a way out of our current situation.

We have such anxious and worried emotions because we actually want to pursue a better life in the future. In our psychological counseling, there is a technique proposed by Morita that we can also search for online. We can then use Morita training to help us deal with our emotional state. Live in the present and better meet the current self.

You can also learn about your emotions by studying Daniel Goleman's work on emotional intelligence. It's important to be in control of your emotions and not let them get the better of you. When you're facing challenges, it's helpful to approach them with a positive attitude and an optimistic outlook. If you're struggling, it's good to look for external resources.

Hi, I'm Yingying, your counselor. I just wanted to say that I love you all and I'm here for you.
