I've been feeling anxious and restless lately, as if something is always on my mind.

Hello, I'm Zeyu, and I'm thrilled to be here!

"Recently, I've been feeling a bit anxious and restless, but not depressed. Could it be because I'm taking depression-parents-unilaterally-discontinued-my-medication-how-to-cope-10333.html" target="_blank">medication?"

Let's dive in and clarify one point: there is actually no direct correlation between anxiety and taking medication. This is great news! Contrary to what the questioner thinks, taking medication on time will actually reduce our depression and anxiety. It might not have an immediate effect, but it will work its magic over time.

Regarding the question "I've been feeling anxious lately," there are so many possibilities! The question asker may need to try answering some questions and find the possible causes. First, the question asker should recall when this feeling of anxiety appeared and what happened during this period. The trigger for anxiety here may be external events or problems in our state of mind. Now what we need to do is think about the possible causes within our capabilities, and if there is any spare capacity, we may try to solve the problem.

"There is always a sense of unease about something unfinished. But there's no need to worry!

"What should I do?" Here's where the fun begins! Ask yourself what this sense of unease comes from. If you can't find a specific reason, try to perceive the safety of your surroundings and let yourself feel the atmosphere of safety.

We can also find a space where we are not disturbed, take a few deep breaths, then slowly imagine the safest and most comfortable environment you can think of. Let yourself stay quietly inside it. When you feel safe enough, slowly open your eyes and return to the present!

In life, we can try to be aware of our thoughts and ideas, pay attention to events or experiences that trigger our sense of unease, record the feelings we have at the time, and look at these issues from a different perspective at an appropriate time to discover the points that can help us! This is a great way to change the impact of these events on us.

Hello, I'm ZQ, a heart exploration coach from the Yixinli platform. I'm worried to see that you've been anxious. When you feel like you haven't done something, it's just a feeling.

If you can't think of what it is, it's probably not that serious. You can do it later.

You seem to have moderate anxiety and depression.

If it's severe, you'll need to go to the hospital. You might need to take medication. This can help relieve symptoms. It can also have side effects. Try to exercise or eat a healthy diet.

To help you cope better, think about what causes your anxiety. It might be your own anxiety and depression, or it could be something in your life.

Is there something about your studies, work, or relationships that you find stressful? If you feel restless because there is something you haven't finished, ask yourself if it's something you need to study or a task you need to complete at work.

Or is there something waiting for you to do at home? We can eliminate these one by one to relieve anxiety and figure out what we need to do.

You'll know what's important to you. Look after yourself. Eat well and socialise.

Are you easily influenced by negative comments?

Or we can think about what you want to do. Often, it's not something you have to do, but something you want to do. Keep in mind what you really want to do because that will lead to a more complete self.

When you are anxious or depressed, try some mindfulness exercises. You can find them on the platform's Meditation Planet.

You can also read books on emotional regulation. Here are some recommendations: The Power of Negative Emotions, Anti-Negativity: Positive Thinking for a Flourishing Life, and How to Stop Being Unhappy. You can also try online or offline local psychological counseling. Good luck!

ZQ?

Dear Question Asker, It is as though I am seeing you in person when I read your words.

Although the description is brief, I can discern your self-awareness: you recognize that your recent state is "anxious and restless," and that this "restlessness" appears to originate from "something not being done." It is not straightforward to contemplate this matter in such depth, and you have demonstrated a capacity that many individuals in similar circumstances may lack.

Let us proceed with a discussion of this state.

You have indicated that you have been experiencing anxiety recently. I would like to inquire further.

1. Please specify the temporal period to which the term "recently" refers.

2. What events occurred during that period that left a lasting impression on you?

3. Please indicate whether these matters are of importance to you.

4. What measures can be taken to alleviate the anxiety experienced during that period of time?

The aforementioned four points are designed to illustrate that the genesis of the majority of psychological states is predicated on an underlying expectation. It is only through the identification of the expectation that underlies your anxiety that you can gradually disengage from this state of anxiety.

Furthermore, you indicated that you consistently experience a sense of incompletion, or an uneasy feeling that you have something unfinished. I would like to gain a deeper understanding of this phenomenon.

1. If you were to translate this feeling of unease into a concrete event, what would you consider it to be?

2. What was the stimulus that prompted this recollection?

3. What potential benefits might accrue from the proposed action?

4. If the subject is currently experiencing a level of unease equivalent to a score of 10 on the aforementioned scale, to what extent do they anticipate a reduction in their level of unease following the completion of the proposed action?

5. What are your expectations regarding your future self after this adjustment?

The aforementioned five points are intended to illustrate that each phase of adapting to an anxious state can be contemplated in depth. Only when the process of reflection is clear can the adjustment gradually demonstrate outcomes.

In light of the above, it is hoped that the responses and sharing can provide some inspiration to adjust from this state.

Two words are worthy of consideration:

The purpose of any checkup results is for reference only. If the reader deems them to be of no value, they are not obliged to consult them.

While medicine has its uses, it is not a substitute for the role of a person.

It is of the utmost importance to prioritize self-care.

Good morning, my name is Coach Yu from XinTan, and I would like to discuss this topic with you.

First, it is important to understand the nature of emotions. Emotions are composed of three key elements: subjective experiences, external manifestations, and physiological arousal. Each emotion may serve as a signal that our inner desires have not been fulfilled.

Anger and sadness are two of the most common emotions experienced when an individual misses the opportunity to receive a promotion or a pay increase, or when they lose a cherished possession after having kept it for an extended period.

As the questioner wrote, there has been a recent increase in anxiety and restlessness, accompanied by a persistent sense of unease regarding unresolved issues.

One might inquire as to the experience of the last hospital visit for a routine check-up. What were the thoughts at that time?

What emotions and feelings does this evoke in you? What were your thoughts after the examination?

What emotions and feelings are evoked in response to this situation?

Furthermore, it would be beneficial to inquire whether the medication has been taken as prescribed recently. Additionally, it would be prudent to ascertain whether a physician has been consulted regarding any adverse reactions to the medication.

Additionally, one might inquire as to the nature of their thoughts when contemplating a potential visit to the hospital for further tests. What emotions and feelings does this prospect evoke?

Furthermore, one might inquire as to how the anxious and restless feelings at this moment would express themselves to us, were they able to do so in verbal form.

All emotions are neither inherently good nor bad. When we are aware of feelings of anxiety and unease, we can attempt to identify the source of the distress and draw parallels between it and other experiences.

"Once we begin to accept our emotions and allow them to flow freely, we will be less likely to engage in behaviors that distort our emotions due to emotional repression. Additionally, we can attempt to record our current emotional state."

As the sole reader of your writing, you are encouraged to adopt a bold and honest approach when articulating your feelings. This approach will facilitate a deeper comprehension of the underlying causes and consequences of emotions, thereby enabling a more accurate identification of the core issue.

Let us discuss the concept of self-love. One should begin by caring for oneself, which includes taking care of one's body and one's emotions.

It is possible to seek assistance in overcoming these issues, as they can be challenging to address immediately. It is advisable to identify a family member or friend who can provide positive support and a safe space for discussion. If necessary, professional counseling may be beneficial in expressing emotions and alleviating emotional distress.

Additionally, it is crucial to attempt to adjust one's mental state, venture into the natural environment, listen to the sounds of frogs, smell the aromas of flowers and birds, and appreciate the beauty of life. It is also essential to release any positive emotions that may be hindering one's ability to cope effectively. Life is a cyclical phenomenon, and one's actions and emotions influence its trajectory.

It is recommended that the reader consult the following text: Live a Life Full of Joy.

Hello, I'm Jane! I totally get where you're coming from after reading your question.

It's totally normal to feel like there's always something left undone, but if you find yourself feeling obsessive about it, it might be time to take a step back.

Anxiety is actually just another name for fear. From one perspective, anxiety is not a bad thing at all! It urges us to take action to lead a better life. However, if we have too much anxiety, it can damage our health, make it harder for us to think calmly, and make the negative emotions in our lives feel worse. So, if you feel like you're overly anxious, you might feel like life isn't fun.

How can you avoid overthinking, my dear friend?

It's so important to take time for yourself! Try setting aside at least an hour or two each day to think, write in your diary, or just relax. You can also use this time to build relationships with other things and people. Go shopping with friends, plant flowers, or just enjoy some quiet time. Give yourself the gift of slowing down and taking care of yourself!

You'll gradually realize that you're safe and so calm when you slow down.

It's so important to practice mindfulness awareness. You need to know that anxiety and fear are just physical sensations. You can practice becoming aware of these sensations. Don't regard anxiety and fear as a disease. These emotions are just your body's way of reminding you that you need to take time to care for yourself. Don't judge your feelings, just slowly become aware of them and accept them.

And finally, keep a mood diary, a success diary, and a gratitude diary! It's amazing how feelings can be accumulated slowly. When you record your small joys and blessings, you're actually slowly accumulating your own positive energy.

I promise you, after a little while, you'll find your heart is warmer and stronger!

It's also a great idea to exercise regularly and spend time in nature. We all know that nature is a natural healer! When we engage in more outdoor activities, we not only connect with the environment, but we also connect with our own lives.

As you become healthier, you'll find your mood naturally becoming more positive!

fifthly, do more of the things that make you feel great and less of the things that make you feel bad. Things that make you feel great are things like reading, writing, singing, painting, and so on. Things that make you feel bad are things like watching lots of TikTok and doing the same old thing over and over.

I really hope you're healthy and happy! (^_~)

Wishing you the very best of luck!

You've got this! Stay strong!

Hello, I'm Xiaolan. I love getting injections. Thanks for your invitation. I hope my answer will inspire you.

You know you have moderate anxiety and depression. You've been taking medication for a few days. You feel the medication is working, but you still have anxiety and a sense of unease. You want to go to the hospital for further examination because you're not satisfied with the current treatment.

First, praise yourself for being aware. After taking any medication, pay attention to your reactions.

As a nurse, I want to remind you that any medication needs time to work and needs to be taken regularly, especially psychiatric drugs.

If you have anxiety and depression, it will take time to feel better. You may need to take medication for a while. Talk to your doctor about how you feel. Your doctor can change your medication if needed.

Depression and anxiety have psychological causes. Taking medication and also getting psychological treatment will help.

If you want to be examined, do it. Anxiety is about worrying for no reason. This situation will feel painful, but it's probably protecting you.

I wish you the best in finding happiness!

Good day. I am Gu Daoxi Fengshou Slender Donkey, a heart exploration coach.

Emotions serve as an indicator of mental health. There is no reason for emotions to arise without a cause. Each time an emotion arises, it is a reminder that our current state is not optimal and requires adjustment. Recognizing the significance of emotions can help reduce anxiety and encourage the identification of causes and corresponding solutions.

Seeing a doctor can indeed rule out some objective factors and provide greater peace of mind. The questioner is seeking to address specific issues by consulting with a medical professional, which is a viable solution. Guidance from an expert can help us feel more certain.

It is important to note that drugs can have an impact on our feelings. In such cases, it may be beneficial to consult with a doctor to determine if temporarily discontinuing the use of the drugs could help to improve feelings and rule out the influence of the drugs.

It is important to reconcile with yourself. When we set high standards for ourselves, it is easy to get into a state of conflict. When feelings arise, it is beneficial to allow them to flow for a while. As the saying goes, it is better to let it out than to hold it in. When we allow emotions to exist, it is also a kind of reconciliation with ourselves, which will make us more compatible.

Has the questioner attempted to identify any recent occurrences that have caused a sense of urgency? Maintaining an emotional diary and noting the times and circumstances surrounding these emotions can assist in better understanding our emotions and finding solutions or temporarily avoiding them.

The Zajacnik effect, named after Bruma Zajacnik, refers to the psychological impact of unfinished tasks. Zajacnik was a Soviet Gestalt psychologist who conducted research in this area.

Her research indicates that unfinished tasks are more mentally stressful than completed tasks.

It is also true that it can easily increase our psychological pressure. The questioner can attempt to discern which situation will evoke a stronger emotional response.

"5% Change" suggests that when faced with a potential issue, it is advisable to take a conservative approach and assume that it will occur. The key question is: what measures can be taken to prevent or address the issue?

Then, take the necessary action. This may assist the questioner in moving beyond their emotions and identifying ways to alter the situation, thereby enhancing their sense of empowerment.

It is recommended that you speak with your inner fears and consider the worst possible outcome. Can you accept this outcome? Preparing for the worst will help to reduce stress levels.

The questioner may wish to consider seeking the assistance of a counselor to help them gain clarity on the situation, or alternatively, they could benefit from reading some psychology books to help them adjust their mindset. We would recommend the following books: "5% Change," "Dialogue with Your Inner Fears," and "Maybe You Should Talk to Someone."

Best regards,

Dear question asker,

If I may, I would like to offer you a warm hug.

Your confusion: "There's always been some anxiety and restlessness, but not much depression. Could it be because I'm taking medication?"

I also feel a sense of unease that perhaps something has not been done.

I would be grateful for any advice on how to proceed.

Additionally, there is some concern about undergoing further examination at the hospital. It seems that you are experiencing moderate depression.

[Only taking medication in the last few days]

Hello, I believe your awareness is quite strong. You have noticed a sense of unease recently and have sought medical attention. This seems to be a good choice.

You may be wondering why you are experiencing such anxiety when nothing has happened recently.

It could be said that anxiety is often directed towards the future. To give a simple example, we are anxious before an exam or after it? Perhaps we could say that we are anxious before the exam, and what we are anxious about did not happen, but we are anxious about the result.

If I understand you correctly, you're feeling anxious because you haven't had any recent experiences. I can imagine that this is because you're looking forward to something in the future that hasn't happened yet and you're hoping for a positive outcome. However, there are times when things don't turn out as we'd hoped. In these moments, it can be helpful to consider whether it's useful for us to be anxious all the time.

Perhaps the best way forward is to accept the uncertainty of things, because every event has both positive and negative developments. Rather than dwelling on the potential for a good result, it might be more beneficial to start working hard now and make progress a little bit every day.

That's all for now. I hope you have a lovely day.
