What should I do if I get tired easily and can't control my thoughts?

Hello,

If you've been struggling with depression-and-social-anxiety-30389.html" target="_blank">anxiety and depression for a while and haven't seen any improvement after three months, it's probably time to check in with a doctor. They can help you understand the root cause of your anxiety and depression and provide guidance on managing your condition. If it's not severe, you can start reducing your psychological burden. If it is, you'll get timely treatment and start feeling better.

I'd like to share some thoughts on anxiety and depression and the physical symptoms that often accompany them.

Anxiety and depression often go hand in hand, but they are different. Anxiety usually comes from feeling unsure about the future.

Depression usually comes from feeling like things aren't as good as they used to be. In other words, anxiety is about the future, while depression is about the past that can't be changed and is missed.

From a physical standpoint, both anxiety and depression can cause sleep disorders. With anxiety, it's easy to fall asleep but difficult to stay asleep. With depression, it's the opposite.

Both are thought patterns that "ruminate," meaning the brain is constantly thinking about the same thing over and over.

Sleep disorders and "rumination" can both lead to inattentiveness, fatigue, and low mood.

How can we relieve rumination? Here are a few suggestions:

(1) When it comes to anxiety, focus on the things you can control. Take the initiative to tackle them head-on. For the things you can't change, accept that sometimes things happen for a reason.

It's possible that what you think will happen might not actually happen.

(2) When you're dealing with depression, it's important to accept the "self" you have in the moment and not dwell on the past. Love who you are in the moment and focus on the good things about yourself. If you feel like you're not satisfied with any aspect of yourself and can't find it, I want you to believe that as long as you change your perspective and try to find it, you will always find it.

If you stop being so hard on yourself, you'll start to feel better.

(3) Stick to a sport you enjoy.

Exercise is a great way to relax your body, and when you relax your body, your mood and mind will follow suit. Some studies have shown that group exercises such as square dancing can help with depression.

(4) Stay engaged in something you're interested in. This could be reading, gardening, or traveling, for example.

Reading can change how we see things. When you walk in other people's shoes, you realize you're not the "worst" person in the world, and that bad things won't happen to you.

I hope this is helpful.

Best regards!

From the original poster's description, it seems like there might be some obsessive thinking going on.

Obsessive thinking is prone to dwelling on a problem, going over it again and again, and trying to solve it over and over again until you are exhausted. But there's a way to beat it!

This is why it's so important to take care of yourself!

Once we've ruled out physical illness, we can move on to psychological treatment!

1. Knowing and willing are the three basic psychological activities of human beings, and when we coordinate and unify them, we can feel in control!

I have a long-term tendency towards anxiety and depression. I have not been to the hospital, but I have read psychology books on my own and I am much better now. I have adjusted cognitively, and I am excited to see what the future holds!

It's truly impressive that the original poster has managed to improve their psychological state through reading psychology books!

Since you have read so much about psychology and been able to adjust for the better, you must also understand the symptoms and causes of depression and anxiety—and you can!

You may have even responded to whether you match these characteristics!

The amazing human mind is capable of so much! It can process three basic forms of mental activity: knowledge, intention, and emotion.

"Zhi" refers to cognition and concepts, which are really fascinating!

And now for the fun part! "Qing" refers to emotions and feelings.

And finally, "yi" refers to thinking and willpower!

The three are a process of gradual increase and integration. Cognition is the first step in adjustment, and it's a great one! With the right ideas, emotional touch is generated, then thinking, and finally it may be implemented in action.

You have already made a huge difference by adjusting your perception!

But I'm still out of control, which means I haven't completely let go emotionally. And that's okay!

This is totally understandable! The emotional shadow and defense that have been brought to people over the years will not disappear in an instant.

2. You can take control of your thoughts by letting go of the need to control them.

The specific manifestations are: poor condition, unable to keep myself rational, still prone to rumination, start to daydream, easily fatigued and absent-minded, seriously draining energy and time. I feel that my emotions may have caused irreversible damage to my brain and concentration. What an opportunity for growth! What should I do?

You can keep your wits about you by consciously controlling them!

The good news is that only people with relatively stable minds can easily control.

The host keeps falling into rumination and daydreaming, as if they were responding to some obsessive symptoms.

Obsessive behavior is a sign of anxiety, which is something we can easily overcome!

Anxious people have a strong desire for control, and that's a good thing!

You know what they say: when you try to control things, you lose control. So, why not try something new?

The more out of control you feel, the more you want to take control!

Repeating this over and over again will seriously drain your energy and time, leaving you feeling exhausted. But don't worry! There are plenty of ways to recharge and replenish your energy.

But here's the good news! You can avoid this happening by learning to relax, relieve anxiety, and let everything happen as it should. This will have a positive effect on your brain!

The good news is that you can learn to relax, relieve anxiety, and let everything happen as it should. This will help to relax your tense body and mind!

3. The great news is that there are solutions! A physical examination can rule out physical illness, and psychological counseling can help with psychological correction.

I'm so excited to get checked out at the hospital! Is this necessary?

The host is going to the hospital to check brain function and physical elements, which is a great idea!

It's so important to make sure that any mental illness is properly diagnosed. Sometimes, physical illnesses can cause similar symptoms, so it's essential to rule those out first!

If you are physically healthy, you can explore the fascinating world of psychology!

If psychological harm has caused physical harm, the good news is that the source of the harm can be resolved! This means relieving the pressure from the mind and body, and then rehabilitating the body through training or therapy.

There are so many amazing training methods out there, including relaxation, exercise, and meditation.

The great news is that there are so many ways to treat this. You can try medication, massage, and psychological and behavioral therapy.

For specific methods, go to a professional hospital for diagnosis, and a targeted solution will be given!

The great news is that if you study psychology yourself, you can also learn some amazing methods to help yourself!

I really hope these answers help you!

My name is Yan Guilai, and I'm a psychological counselor. I'm excited to help you get out of your predicament soon!

Dear Question Asker, Thank you for your inquiry. Best regards, [Name]

From your description, I believe you are an individual who is adept at identifying opportunities for improvement and consistently seeking solutions.

You previously experienced a lengthy period of depression and anxiety, which you managed to overcome by reading psychology books. This is a commendable achievement. While the current situation may not align with our desired outcome, we can adjust our mindset by reading books to alleviate our emotions. This is a skill many individuals lack, but you have demonstrated your ability to do so, which showcases your wisdom and potential for growth.

You indicate that residual emotions are still present, which do not provide a sense of elevated mood. At times, your rationality is impaired, your thoughts are prolonged, and you are susceptible to fatigue, which diverts significant energy and time. You also perceive the presence of rumination.

Ruminating refers to the repeated, passive thinking about a particular issue, the negative emotional state, the causes and consequences, after one has experienced something.

Please note the time of the initial occurrence. What were you doing at the time?

Please describe the steps you took to resolve the issue.

Please continue to monitor your emotional state. When you are not experiencing these emotions, what circumstances are you in and what are you doing?

What resources do you draw upon to maintain resilience in the face of challenging emotions? How do you persist in the face of adversity and drive for continuous improvement?

These questions serve as valuable resources and motivators for success and change. We are the experts in solving our own problems.

As society has developed and the pace of life has accelerated, anxiety and depression have become more prevalent. I experience these feelings as well, which is a normal response to the circumstances. However, few individuals are as aware of this as we are.

You inquired at the conclusion of our discussion about whether you should schedule an appointment with your physician for a routine examination. If you have the time and desire to do so, you may wish to consider this option as a means of providing yourself with peace of mind.

In regard to your emotional state, I have a few suggestions that I hope will be of assistance.

As a first step, maintain an emotional journal.

When experiencing low mood and elevated emotions, it can be beneficial to record them in a diary. This can include details of what happened, where, when, how you felt, what you saw, what you want to do, and so on. Writing can be a therapeutic process, allowing us to organise our thoughts and reflect on ourselves.

Secondly, it is important to find ways to distract yourself from negative thoughts.

When we recognize that we are caught in a negative emotional cycle, it is important to promptly change our focus, engage in an enjoyable activity, and search for our own experience. During this search, we can utilize meditation to implement that experience in every part of our body and search for the remembered experience. It is essential to avoid rushing to eliminate negative emotions and instead provide ourselves with more positive encouragement. I highly recommend the book "The Brain Code of Happiness" as a valuable resource.

Finally, transform rumination into reflection.

It is important to note that rumination and reflection are linked, but that rumination is negative and reflection is positive. It is possible to transform this negative thinking into positive thinking, which is similar to finding positive experiences. However, it is crucial to first transform it before we can have the strength to find our own experiences.

Our transformed reflection allows us to draw conclusions and recognize both the positive and negative aspects of our experiences, enabling us to identify valuable lessons and avoid repeating mistakes in the future.

Then, learn to trust yourself and believe in the power of accumulation.

When you come here, you are already on the path to change. It is not uncommon to experience negative emotions internally, but it is important to believe in yourself and trust that you can make progress every day. With time, you will become a different person.

As a final measure, it is advisable to seek assistance from external resources.

Should we be unable to mediate our current negative emotions, we may wish to consider seeking assistance from external resources. This could entail seeking the help of professional counselors. These individuals employ professional techniques to delve deeply into the root causes of our subconscious, adjust our perceptions, and create a safe and secure environment for us, thereby providing us with the strength to grow in this environment.

Should you wish to do so, you are also welcome to join the study of psychology, learn more about the subject, and facilitate your own healing through learning. This is also a beneficial course of action.

Hello! I really hope my answer can be of some help to you.

It's so great that you're reading psychology books on your own! You've made a lot of progress cognitively, and you're learning and growing all the time. You can keep replacing old negative thoughts with positive ones and changing your thinking patterns, and you'll get better and better!

You say that you feel like you're always losing control, in a bad mood, or you're prone to thinking about things too much. You also say that you're tired and empty inside, and that your emotions have caused irreversible damage to your brain and concentration. Is that right?

It's totally normal to have emotions. Every emotion serves a purpose. It's also normal to have thoughts without being aware of them. The first thing we can do is accept our emotions and thoughts without getting carried away. We can take a step back and look at the needs and reasons behind the emotions. Then, we can take ownership of our emotions and thoughts. We can choose positive thoughts and live in harmony with our emotions. It's up to you if you want to check your brain function and physical elements. If you feel it's necessary, you can go for a check-up to rule out physical factors. This can also put your mind at ease. If there's a problem, you can also seek treatment in time.

I'd also love to share a few more suggestions with you:

It's so important to accept your emotions! The more you suppress them, the more they'll present themselves. And the more you try to control them, the more likely you are to fall into them.

It's so important to remember that when we get along with our emotions, whether they're good or bad, we're really getting along with ourselves. Emotions are a big part of who we are, and it's so helpful to learn to accept them fully. We don't need to worry about dealing with bad emotions, but we can take them with us when we go about our day.

It's so important to remember that there's no such thing as a "good" or "bad" emotion. Every single one is actually useful because they help us understand ourselves and feel the world around us.

It's so important to cultivate a positive view of emotions! This means not judging any emotion that arises, and not determining whether each emotion is good or bad. When you judge the good and bad of emotions, you'll naturally follow and cling to good emotions like happiness and joy.

And try not to get too caught up in bad emotions, like depression and irritability. Holding on to the good and pushing away the bad can really drain your energy and lead to more ups and downs.

It can sometimes lead you into a bit of an emotional whirlwind, which is totally normal!

Staying mindful and not defining emotions as good or bad is a great way to reduce inner conflict and struggle. It's all about not dividing emotions into two camps.

This way, you can treat your emotions with a little more distance, and they'll have less of an impact on you. You'll find you have a lot more control over your emotions!

2. Give your thoughts a warm welcome, too. Don't try to control them or force them to go away. Just accept their presence and let them be.

It's totally normal to have some negative and chaotic thoughts. We all do! If you ignore them, they'll go away quickly. But if you pay attention to them or argue with them, they'll stick with you.

So, my advice to you is to go with the flow and just do what needs to be done.

It's totally normal to have lots of different thoughts popping up. It's okay to let them happen! While you're going with the flow, it's good to focus on what you need to do, when you need to study, and when you need to chat. Just do what you should do!

It's okay if at first, you feel a bit overwhelmed by your thoughts. It's natural! But as long as you believe that they will naturally disappear sooner or later, and try your best to do the things you should do in real life, then the thoughts that bother you will slowly decrease and even eventually disappear without you noticing as you get on with your work.

3. Cognitive adjustment is great, but it's also important to realize that we might only understand some truths at the conscious level. There are still many beliefs and ideas that we need to internalize deep into our subconscious. Luckily, mindfulness meditation can help us with this!

There are so many levels of understanding! For example, when it comes to accepting oneself, we often think that once we know that we need to accept ourselves, we can do it. But why is it that so many people still can't accept themselves? It's because accepting oneself doesn't mean that once you know it, you can do it. And the degree to which each person accepts themselves is also different. Accepting oneself requires a lot of practice, but it's worth it!

Mindfulness meditation can reach deep into the subconscious, allowing us to quickly improve our level of self-self-acceptance-yet-still-struggle-to-accept-the-past-self-9544.html" target="_blank">acceptance. I personally practice self-acceptance every night before going to bed. I usually use the EFT tapping technique, combined with positive mental suggestions: even though I'm not perfect and I've probably done something I wasn't so proud of, I still accept and love myself.

This is a great way to keep on improving how much you accept yourself, to become more harmonious on the inside, and to become more enlightened on the outside.

We'd also love for you to check out our meditation planet, where you can do some great meditation exercises or find some helpful resources to help you connect with your inner self and find inner peace and tranquility.

I hope this is helpful for you! Sending you lots of love!

Good day.

Describing your own state of mind can sometimes be perceived as a form of self-reproach, which can be uncomfortable for others. The way the question is phrased can influence how people perceive the sincerity, curiosity, and focus of the person asking the question on the matter of exploring themselves.

"It may be that emotions have caused irreversible damage to my brain and concentration." It seems that the questioner is also trying to help and care for himself, and it appears that he is also incorporating what he has learned from psychology books.

This also brings to mind a recent experience I had when my teacup fell to the ground and I had a conversation with Lou.

At the time, there were broken pieces on the floor and milk in the teacup. I didn't immediately get up to clean up.

It may be the case that, in perception, a voice will emerge in the body to blame oneself.

While the tea cup is unfortunately broken and irreversible, I am fortunate to still have a container I can use to drink water from, which I can find, buy, or make from other objects.

The sight of the milk on the floor inspired me to clean it up as neatly as I could.

If we are to judge something as "irreversible," we might also consider the possibility of encountering other ways to repair and stitch up the damage. We could also look for some words and opportunities to inspire ourselves.

It is perhaps worth noting that this process is not intended for the eyes and praise of others, especially family members, but rather for our own benefit.

It may be helpful to consider that the "daydreaming and easily fatigued" you're experiencing could be a sign that your body is asking you to adjust to a rhythm that is unique to you.

Furthermore, I am reminded of the period between the end of last year and the beginning of this year, when an increasing number of individuals were affected by the novel coronavirus. It is notable that the symptoms experienced by those infected have varied considerably.

From an objective standpoint, it is clear that the novel coronavirus has introduced new challenges and tests for the body. However, it is evident that you have demonstrated resilience in overcoming these obstacles.

If I may suggest, try to find beauty in your daily life. I believe that you are creating your own unique beauty.

It might also be helpful to speak with the inner child from our childhood and give that part of ourselves some extra care and attention whenever needed.

It might be helpful to remember that achieving a high level of acceptance of your inner child is a repetitive process that will take time.

You are welcome to refer back to this system at any time to help you decide whether you need to seek medical treatment.

If you do decide to visit a doctor, it might be helpful to discuss your physical and emotional feelings with them. It's also a good idea to speak up for yourself and not worry in advance about what other people will think.

My name is Qin Ling, and I am a certified psychological writer and listener. I am here to accompany and listen to you when you need it and when you are willing to let me. I am aware of the flow of emotions and aim to provide a supportive presence as you navigate them, with the hope of helping you live more freely and comfortably.

Hello, question asker! My name is Evan, and I'm here to help.

From what the questioner has shared, it seems like they're dealing with long-term depression and anxiety. It's totally normal for people in this situation to experience mood swings. I can imagine it's been a tough journey for the questioner. It might be helpful for them to check in with a healthcare professional, like a doctor or a therapist, to get a better understanding of what's going on. If the questioner is dealing with any underlying health issues, it's important to follow the doctor's guidance and get the right treatment.

This can help stop the negative emotions from getting worse, which is great!

Anxiety and depression are also known as bipolar affective disorder, which is a type of mood disorder. It's totally normal for mood disorders to come back, and each episode is often related to a stressful event or situation.

Bipolar disorder is mainly characterized by alternating periods of persistent elevated mood and depressed mood. It can be really helpful for the question asker to observe themselves to see if they exhibit such behavior.

From reading your self-introduction, I can see that you're still learning about your own situation. It's great that you've already taken the initiative to learn about psychology and how to deal with related emotions. It's totally normal to feel confused and overwhelmed when you're facing challenges. It's okay to feel like you're not quite sure how to handle things. Learning how to recognize and let go of negative emotions is an important step. It's also important to remember that you're not alone in this journey.

I'm sure that whatever comes your way, you'll be able to face it with more courage than ever!

I'm so sorry, but since the question was asked on a platform, we can't communicate in detail about it. I can only give you a little advice on how to deal with the negative emotions that arise:

It's so important to find out what's really going on underneath all of this anxiety and depression.

I'm so sorry you're feeling anxious and depressed. I'd love to help you figure out what's going on. Is it the fear of negative emotions, the inability to deal with them, or the regret of life?

This is a really important step! It requires the subject to take a close look at what's really affecting their anxiety and depression. They should write down everything they can think of on paper.

It's so important to understand what's making you anxious and depressed. Once you know the root cause, you can start to work through it. Is it the worry that you have bipolar disorder, or the worry that you don't know how to deal with the negative emotions you feel when facing things? It's so important to really think about this for yourself.

It's so important to figure out the root cause of your anxiety and depression. Once you know what's really going on, you can start to develop a coping strategy that's right for you.

You can absolutely solve your own problems!

Once you've identified the root of your negative emotions, it's time to cheer yourself up and tackle the problem head-on. If you're feeling anxious or depressed, it's easy to fall into self-pity. This is a natural response during a depressive episode, where we tend to blame ourselves for everything.

The advice here is to not avoid them or show them on purpose, but to be brave and show yourself. When you feel negative emotions, don't dwell on them or talk about them. Just say something positive! Over time, you'll get used to it, and your state of mind will change.

It's so important to pay attention to your own verbal habits!

We all have those moments when we're faced with a situation that isn't so great. It's only natural to feel annoyed or frustrated in these moments. However, when we let these negative emotions take over, they can make us feel worse. So, let's try to catch ourselves when we're using those pet phrases like "I'm so annoyed" or "I messed up again today." These words can make us feel worse because they're exaggerated and emotional. They can also make us dwell on the negative, which isn't helpful. Instead, let's try to replace these negative words with something more positive. For example, we could say "I'm a little frustrated" or "I made a mistake today." These words are still honest, but they're not as harsh. They also help us see the situation in a more constructive light.

It's really helpful to avoid using these types of words. I'm here to help you turn negative emotions into positive ones! All you have to do is replace these negative words with positive thoughts and praise. For example, replace "terrible" with "unfortunate" or "there is still room for improvement" and "disaster" with "challenge" or "inconvenience."

Try to avoid things that might make you feel down.

It's important to avoid things that might make you feel tired and negative. If you can't avoid them, and you have to face them, try to put this matter on the back burner when your negative emotions come up. Remind yourself that you're having negative emotions right now. To avoid any mishaps when dealing with things emotionally, it's probably best to temporarily leave or suspend handling for now and deal with it again when you calm down. That way, you can also face related things more calmly.

And you know what? Dealing with related matters often brings positive feedback to the questioner. It's amazing how, slowly but surely, the questioner becomes more confident when facing related matters and learns to control their emotions better.

It's okay to seek outside help.

If you feel that the above approach isn't right for you, it's okay! You can always seek help from a professional psychologist or counselor for psychological intervention. It's totally fine to talk about your negative emotions with these professionals. You can be as open and honest as you'd like, because these interventions are confidential.

Please explain clearly how these anxious feelings make you feel, describe how these feelings generally strike, and how you respond. If you need to, please keep in touch with these professionals until these anxious and depressive feelings no longer affect you.

I really hope my answer can help the questioner!
