Severe anxiety disorder and severe depression: how should I relax myself? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

The hospital has diagnosed it and I'm taking Chinese medicine. Because two months ago, when I first caught a cold, I didn't take the right medicine, it caused me to panic for three whole days and I couldn't sleep. Later, I took the right medicine and the cold got better, but I developed a symptom of being easily nervous and panicking.

It's just that every night when I go to sleep, as soon as I lie down ready to go to sleep, I panic. Sometimes I even wake up with convulsions in my hands and feet, and have difficulty breathing. It's the same sometimes during the day, but the symptoms are milder than at night.

I get nervous very easily, and the slightest thing can trigger anxiety. I know I'm being nervous, but I can't relax, and I always think the worst.

Today I got sick with a fever. After getting the injection, my fever didn't go down quickly, and I panicked. I felt like I couldn't breathe, and the heartbeat became fast when I closed my eyes to rest.

Dear friends, what should I do? Is there any good way to relax?

It would be beneficial to provide the questioner with a supportive gesture. Based on the information provided, it is evident that the questioner is still experiencing significant inner anxiety, which has manifested in a generalized manner. Any event can potentially trigger deep-seated anxiety and unrest. It is possible that the questioner's life is currently characterized by such feelings, which may be hindering his ability to fully engage with the ease, naturalness, and joy of life.

I would like to share some personal insights for the questioner's reference, with the aim of providing ideas to help reduce anxiety.

Firstly, it is important to ascertain the basis for the questioner's determination of "severe depression" and "severe anxiety." Is this based on their own perception, or has it been diagnosed through professional measurement and diagnosis? If it is based on their own perception, it is essential to understand the basis for that perception. If it has been diagnosed through professional measurement and diagnosis, it is vital to ascertain the basis for that diagnosis. Does the questioner have a very clear understanding of it?

Secondly, it is important to understand how the questioner views and treats their own "depression" and "anxiety." Do they regard these emotions as "a scourge" and "the source of suffering," or do they understand and accept them as part of themselves? If you treat your emotional feelings as a "person," your attitude towards this "person" will affect your relationship with this "person."

This is a common occurrence in our daily lives. When you greet someone with a polite and friendly smile, they often respond in a similar manner. Therefore, the attitude you adopt towards your "depression" and "anxiety" will be mirrored by others, allowing you to experience the corresponding feelings.

The questioner can then learn more about body-muscle breathing relaxation or meditation on the platform or online. They can practice these techniques more often to help their body experience relaxation and comfort, allowing their consciousness to control their body more effectively and enhancing their self-confidence. Alternatively, they can engage in activities that can help reduce feelings of depression and anxiety, such as playing ball, running, exercising, or practicing tai chi, to experience more of the feeling of not being depressed or anxious.

It is important to note that life is full of disappointments, and that everyone will encounter many things that may cause feelings of depression and irritability. It is therefore normal to experience these emotions on occasion. When you feel depressed or anxious, you can allow yourself to remain in that state for a while to gain insight into the factors that contribute to these feelings, to understand the underlying issues, and to identify potential solutions.

The efficacy of these shared tips is contingent upon the willingness of the questioner to implement them. Only through firsthand experience can these tips yield the desired outcome. I extend my best wishes for a speedy recovery.

I have "severe anxiety disorder" and "severe depression." I'm ready to learn how to relax myself!

Hello, question asker! I saw your question and I could feel your emotions!

I'm taking Chinese medicine and the hospital has also made a diagnosis, but I still need to take a proper look at the advice given to you by the hospital. This way, you can see what your physical and emotional state is. Whether it's medication, rest, or following the hospital's advice, it's more appropriate—and I'm excited to see what works best for you!

The hospital has diagnosed it and I'm taking Chinese medicine, which I'm really excited about!

Guess what! Two months ago, I didn't take the right medicine for a cold at the beginning, which caused me to panic for three whole days and not be able to sleep. But later, I took the right medicine and the cold got better! And you know what else? I developed the symptom of being prone to nervousness and panic.

I'm sure you'll agree that the feeling of nervousness and panic you mentioned must make people feel helpless!

This is a kind of wind from within that makes us unable to extricate ourselves and deal with it. What methods are there to deal with it and suppress it, and is it better? I'm excited to find out!

Every night when I go to sleep, I get to experience the rush of panic as soon as I lie down ready to go to sleep. Sometimes I even get to wake up with convulsions and difficulty breathing. Sometimes it happens during the day as well, but the symptoms are less severe than at night.

The whole person is very nervous, and an unintentional event can trigger anxiety. Moreover, even though I know I am being nervous, I just can't relax, and I always think about the worst outcome. But you know what? I'm learning to manage my anxiety. I'm learning to relax. And I'm learning to think positively.

Guess what! I got sick with a fever today. After getting the injection, I felt panicky because the fever didn't go down quickly. I felt like I couldn't breathe, and my heartbeat would quicken whenever I tried to sleep.

Hello! I really hope my answer can help you a little.

It's totally normal to feel uncomfortable and prone to nervousness and panic. It's good that you're taking targeted medication with your doctor. It might also help to make some psychological and emotional adjustments, and to seek the help of a professional counselor if you can. There are also lots of ways you can help yourself relax and adjust your thinking. I believe that you will get better and better, little by little.

I've got some advice for you, and I'm here to help!

It's okay to feel nervous and anxious! Give yourself permission to feel those feelings without resisting them. You'll probably find that, as you accept and allow yourself to feel them, you'll gradually feel more relaxed.

It's true! Anxiety and nervousness are actually in our genes. We all experience anxiety and nervousness at times, and there are so many positive effects and meanings of anxiety and nervousness for us. For example, when you take an exam, appropriate anxiety and nervousness can help you concentrate and prepare well, so that you can cope better with the exam.

When you're about to perform in a show, it's totally normal to feel a little nervous. But, you know what? That's OK! It can actually help you prepare seriously and give a great performance.

If we think about how our ancestors lived, they had to live in the wild, in the primeval forest. If they hadn't felt any tension or anxiety when facing floods and wild animals, they would have found it really hard to survive. So, anxiety and tension are actually good for us because they make us aware of our situation and help us make quick decisions and take positive actions when we're in danger. But in modern society, we don't often encounter dangers at the level of wild animals. Sometimes, we encounter only a "little fox," but we may feel that we've encountered a tiger and become really afraid and anxious.

So, it's totally okay to feel a little nervous and anxious! It's just a matter of understanding what level of anxiety you're experiencing. Ask yourself, "Have I met a tiger or a little fox? Is the situation really that bad?"

You can gradually see the whole truth of the matter and not be so anxious, my friend.

2. Take a moment to identify the thoughts that make you feel nervous and anxious. We all have them! Once you've identified them, try to find a more positive alternative thought to replace the negative belief. This can help you feel more at ease.

Cognitive therapy has a really interesting way of looking at negative emotions. It says that it's not the event itself that causes us to feel that way, but our thoughts about the event. It's our beliefs about the event that make us feel anxious and nervous. So, if we can replace these beliefs with some more positive thoughts, we can help improve our mood!

Let's say you have a half-full glass of water in front of you and you think, "Oh no, it's only half full." It's totally understandable to feel negative emotions and think that it's terrible.

If you think, "That's great, there's still half a glass of water, and I can still do a lot with this half glass of water!" you're absolutely right! Every event has both a positive and a negative side. It's like the old saying, "Misfortunes never come alone."

It can be tough to make our thoughts positive on their own. This takes practice! So, it's important to explore those irrational beliefs, find them, and replace them with a positive thought. With consistent practice, you'll gradually form a new way of thinking and maintain a positive emotional state. You can read "The Foundations and Applications of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy" and "Rebuilding Your Life," which will be really helpful!

3. Try some lovely methods to help you release those emotions and establish inner relaxation and peace.

It's so easy to get all tangled up inside when we're feeling all those emotions that we haven't let out. It can make us feel out of control, nervous, and unable to relax. But there's a way to untangle all those feelings and make space for relaxation. It's all about developing good habits of channeling those emotions. Make these habits your lifestyle and do them every day. Before you know it, you'll feel the physical relaxation.

For example, you can do things every day that make you feel a sense of pleasure and accomplishment. I've found that doing this has really helped me! It's a great way to feel more stable when facing other things and to believe in yourself more, without being too anxious and restless. You can also add more of these actions and do things every day that make you feel happy and accomplished. Let these things become your starting point and help you gain inner strength so that you can be more at ease and confident!

You can also do some aerobic exercise, which is a great way to relax! When you exercise, it activates the parasympathetic nerves in your body, allowing you to relax both physically and mentally and feel pleasure. This is especially good if you choose to do aerobic exercise in nature. You can run, play ball, dance, or do exercises. Not only can you exercise your body, but you can also breathe fresh air, which will make your brain feel more awake and alert.

You can also try some mindfulness meditation. Just follow the audio in the meditation, and you'll be able to quietly connect with yourself, stay with yourself, let positive beliefs connect with our subconscious, and promote us to enter a neutral and positive state.

I really hope these tips are helpful for you! Sending you lots of love and best wishes!

I understand how distressing this must be for you. It sounds like the initial cold has turned into something more complex, affecting your mental health as well. Have you considered speaking to a mental health professional? They could offer strategies to manage anxiety and panic attacks. Alongside traditional Chinese medicine, therapy might provide relief and coping mechanisms for when these episodes occur.

It's important to acknowledge that what you're experiencing is real and can be managed. Sometimes, incorporating relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation can help ease the symptoms of anxiety. Perhaps starting with just a few minutes each day could gradually make a difference in how you feel when those panicky moments arise.

I'm sorry to hear about your struggles with anxiety and panic. In addition to the treatments you're already undergoing, it might be beneficial to establish a calming bedtime routine. This could include activities that soothe you, like listening to soft music, reading, or practicing gentle yoga. Creating a peaceful sleep environment might also help, by ensuring your bedroom is quiet, dark, and at a comfortable temperature.

Feeling this way must be incredibly challenging. While you're on this healing journey, try to be kind to yourself. Building resilience takes time, and sometimes support from loved ones can make all the difference. Maybe talking openly with someone you trust about your feelings can provide some comfort. Also, keeping a journal to track your moods and triggers might give you insights into what helps or worsens your anxiety, allowing you to adjust your approach accordingly.
