Too much on my mind, feeling overwhelmed and unable to breathe, what should I do to cheer up?

Good morning, question asker.

Perhaps you could share a warm hug?

You seem to be experiencing a sense of being anxiety/too-much-on-my-mind-feeling-overwhelmed-and-unable-to-breathe-what-should-i-do-to-cheer-up-3887.html" target="_blank">overwhelmed by the circumstances you're facing. It's understandable that your friends might perceive you as not yet having reached a level of maturity that allows you to fully cope with the highs and lows of life. While I can appreciate the logic in this perspective, it's not an easy thing to be happy when you're caught in a cycle of ups and downs.

I can understand that you must be feeling a lot of things at the moment, and it's clear that you need someone to support you. However, it seems that you haven't received the support you need from those around you. Your friends have said that you are immature, and you're wondering how you can become happy.

You have a remarkable ability to perceive and understand situations. You are aware that your recent stress has caused you anxiety, and you are concerned about the future. There is a lot of uncertainty about what lies ahead. It might be helpful to try letting go of your worries and focusing on the present.

Often, it's not that we don't understand the big principles, but it's challenging to put them into practice. I'd like to introduce you to a few simpler methods that might be helpful.

One possible method is meditation. There is a raisin exercise in mindfulness meditation that may be helpful for you to consider. This exercise is designed to help us focus on the present rather than the future. It encourages us to focus our thoughts on a small raisin and appreciate its deliciousness. This can help to relax our thoughts and nerves, which may contribute to feelings of happiness.

Another option to consider is exercise. It doesn't require a significant financial investment, yet it can help produce beneficial neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. When you're feeling unhappy, you might try going for a walk, running, playing badminton or basketball, and allowing yourself to sweat.

The third way is to seek social support. I believe you have already taken this step. You shared your thoughts with a good friend in the hope of getting his support and encouragement. However, it is important to choose this person carefully. Ideally, they should be someone with positive energy who can encourage you. If they are not in a position to do so, or if they are facing their own challenges, it might be helpful to find someone else to support you. You will likely be able to find someone who can provide the support you need.

That's all for now. I hope this has been helpful. I love you all.

Hello! I'm thrilled to be able to answer your question. I hope that some suggestions can help you.

Our emotions are just like our sleep! There's no on-off switch that lets us decide whether we're happy or sad, or whether we want to sleep or wake up.

So, it's totally fine if we can't regulate our emotions right away. We can totally accept that and move on!

In this regard, our friends or some people may be very good at making themselves happy, but it's important to remember that everyone is good at different things. Just because someone else is good at something doesn't mean we are abnormal. We are all within the normal range, and we are all good at different things!

Second, when we become self-aware and realize that our emotional state cannot be regulated through self-regulation or even through the assistance and companionship of friends around us, we can seek timely assistance from a counselor to help us regulate our emotional state—and it's a great thing to do!

Finally, we can pay more attention to our own situation. If our emotional state is extremely low or has lasted for a long time, we can go to the hospital for relevant tests first to understand our specific situation before seeking the assistance of the corresponding professionals. This is a great way to get the help we need!

If our emotions are all over the place at home, we can call the national psychological hotline to get our emotions back in check!

I truly hope that with the help of amazing professionals from all walks of life, you can find a way to regulate your emotions that is perfect for you and will keep your physical and mental health in tip-top shape!

The world and I love you!
