Since your sophomore year, have you always been worried that you didn't turn off the gas valve or the power?

I'm confident my answer will help you.

I want to know if there was a major event before this worry appeared. What are your thoughts?

You said you didn't have any symptoms in college. I believe that's because the environment was more relaxed and there wasn't much pressure. Now that you're working, the pressure has returned, and so have these behaviors. It's clear that our thinking influences us.

We can process our thoughts. When we do, the problem is basically solved.

Deal with this thought in the following steps:

Write it down.

Write down your obsessive thoughts and situations, then rate the anxiety level. Finally, write down the neutralizing strategies you can use to reduce anxiety. The table is as follows:

This is a disturbing thought.

Your anxiety score is:

I will now describe the triggering event that occurred before the thought came into my mind.

You can neutralize these thoughts by changing your ritualized behavior.

Step 2: Remember: This is an obsessive thought, not your real thought.

Rate the likelihood of the idea being put into practice. You will see whether it makes sense or not.

0 = Not possible.

0 = Not at all likely

4 = Very likely

8 = I am at high risk of acting on these disturbing thoughts.

Step 3: Accept the existence of the thought. This counters the urge to adopt evasive or neutralizing strategies.

Step 3: Accept the existence of the thought. Use this to counteract the urge to adopt evasive or neutralizing strategies.

Allow these thoughts to exist without judgment. Be an objective and calm observer. Watch them without evaluating.

Step 4: Confront your thoughts and practice exposure to get used to the presence of these thoughts.

Exposure exercises work like this:

Exposure exercises work like this:

Write down the situation that makes you feel worried in as much detail as possible.

Write down the situation that makes you feel worried in as much detail as possible.

Write a 3-5 minute self-narrative in the first person, describing the current worries that may arise if you do not engage in obsessive thinking. Be as detailed as possible, including all relevant stimuli that trigger your worries and escape scenarios, one image after another.

"Imaginary exposure" will initially increase your anxiety level, so start with a self-narration of moderate anxiety (situations with an anxiety score of 50-60). Once you're accustomed to the scene, you can then practice describing images that may trigger more fear.

The second step is to record the self-narration and play it back repeatedly.

Record yourself reading your own description and play it in a continuous loop for 45 minutes a day for a week. Let the recording trigger your imagination and make you feel as if you were in the situation. This will cause you to feel the corresponding level of anxiety.

Monitor your anxiety level each time you replay the description until it drops below 20.

Once you've reached this point, you can move on to higher anxiety situations until you're comfortable with them all. Keep repeating "imaginary exposure" until your brain has a chance to get used to it.

The whole process can be summed up as follows: repeating the fearful thought will gradually lose its influence and control over you.

Furthermore, we can conduct a reality check.

Ask yourself: What would happen if you didn't check to make sure? What would be the worst possible outcome? How would it actually happen?

Ask yourself: What will happen if you don't check and confirm? What is the worst possible outcome? How will it actually happen, or is it just in your imagination?

It is over.

It's time for a reality check. Do it and see if it's really as bad as you think.

If it's a stress-induced compulsion, you need to learn to reduce your stress. Most people are stressed, and they cope. You can too. Find support and resources to improve your work efficiency and ability. Develop the habit of promptly confiding in others and writing an emotional diary every day. This will help you cope with stress and worries through free and true expression. Practice self-acceptance and self-care. Always maintain a friendly, gentle, and caring attitude towards yourself.

You may find the above useful as a reference. Best wishes!

These are clear indications of a lack of security. To regain a sense of security, it is essential to correct your energy field. Through self-growth and change, you will learn how to truly love others and avoid or alleviate negative emotions.

To truly love others means to wish and give others happiness, and to mentally accept, forgive, and forgive everyone, including the outstanding, the ordinary people, and the weak. If there are mistakes or shortcomings, they can be corrected. Everyone has the right to happiness, regardless of the relationship, whether it is right or wrong, gain or loss. We all hope that others can be happy and improve. People can provide mutual comfort and joy. It is beneficial to love and accept others and oneself, to tolerate shortcomings and lack of ability, and to be kind at heart. This is to be beneficial to others or society, not to dislike or reject ordinary people, not to be jealous or intolerant of outstanding people.

If you find it challenging to connect with others, it can lead to negative energy and emotional issues. To truly love others and adapt to people and situations, you must align your energy field to enhance your ability to form and maintain loving and mutually beneficial relationships and careers. You can also share and exchange insights, experiences, and interests with others in real-life and online communities, such as Douban.

Additionally, it is important to maintain a positive outlook on life and to appreciate the smaller aspects of it.

Negative energy can affect your physical health. Maintaining a comfortable and healthy body can provide a full-body massage. The head massage includes the forehead and face, which also have meridians. Use deep, firm strokes to massage the head, and use a firm massage brush to massage the stomach. Avoid massaging the stomach on an empty stomach, and then take a walk.

If you have negative emotions, thoughts, or behaviors, you will not feel comfortable physically or mentally. You will often encounter unhappy people and things, interpersonal conflicts, relationship and marriage problems (which will affect your professional reputation), and even problems in your academic or career life. This is because when you are too self-centered or pursue self-interest, you accumulate a lot of negative energy. The more self-centered you are, the more your professional reputation will be negatively affected. You need to learn how to truly love others and adapt to people and things, so as to correct your professional reputation, resolve conflicts, improve your emotions and interpersonal relationships, and better solve the above problems. In addition, if you know how to truly love the people and things in the world, you will not be too attached to love, and you will be able to alleviate negative emotions such as separation anxiety and pain. You will not feel lacking inside, and you will be able to feel happiness. Only in this way can your professional reputation become fulfilling and meaningful.

If necessary, they can also facilitate growth and change among those in their sphere of influence.

The manifestations of excessive self-centeredness vary from person to person. They include: 1. The psychological motivation to pursue self-satisfaction, striving for self or repressing self-deprecation to please others, blindly giving in order to gain, being afraid of losing, or disregarding the gains and losses of self-interest and emotions. 2. Being too narcissistic or inferior, paying too much attention to oneself, generating stress and worry, social phobia, being caught up in one's own emotions and thoughts, attaching too much importance to what others think of oneself, not accepting one's own shortcomings and deficiencies, forcing oneself to be perfect, being obsessive, controlling, possessing others or forcing others to satisfy oneself, otherwise resenting and being discontent, being unable to let go of oneself to forgive and forgive, and brooding.

If you focus solely on your own needs, you may experience feelings of anxiety, depression, and fatigue, which could hinder your ability to adapt to the dynamics of your school or workplace environment. Conversely, if you prioritize the well-being of others and adapt to your surroundings, you will naturally feel less self-focused and experience an increase in positive energy.

In summary, it is important to do your best, have good intentions, and avoid causing harm to others, as nobody wants to suffer as a result.
