Why does a 25-year-old woman always fantasize about impossible things happening? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

A 25-year-old woman, I have repeatedly lost control over my thoughts. Living on the third floor, I know I won't jump, but my mind keeps thinking I will, constantly imagining impossible things happening. The more I try not to think about it, the more I can't control myself. What should I do?

Good day, I have a question.

As a healer, I extend my support and encouragement to you. It is important to recognize that the challenges you are facing are not exclusive to 25-year-old women. Many individuals, regardless of age, experience anxiety due to the overwhelming amount of social information. It is common to fantasize about the impossible. This is not limited to a specific age group. When we are frustrated by circumstances beyond our control and the future seems uncertain, it is beneficial to take a break from reality rather than placing blame on ourselves.

I have experienced instances where I have been unable to control my thoughts. I reside on the third floor and am aware that I will not jump off the building. However, my mind often fantasizes about the impossible. The more I try to avoid these thoughts, the more I find it difficult to control myself. It is important to note that not all obsessive-compulsive disorders involve delusions. However, all delusions involve obsessions. On the one hand, I trust my own intuitive judgment. I am aware that rationality is not always straightforward and that it can involve a lot of rambling and many impractical and unrealistic possibilities. The superficial imagination projects the fear and pressure I feel about reality. Although I have recently transitioned from school to society, I am aware that I need to take control of my situation. It is not helpful to do nothing, but if you do not think before acting, you may end up taking the wrong direction and missing opportunities. Based on my experience, I have a few suggestions for you:

From a psychological perspective, we are all flawed individuals with inherent shortcomings. While it is possible to achieve the unattainable, it is crucial to recognize that unrealistic expectations can lead to significant challenges. It is essential to identify the true self, reconcile with past experiences, and think critically about one's genuine aspirations.

2. Avoid becoming overwhelmed. Individuals may have demanding schedules, but they must have objectives. From planning to planning, it is optimal to achieve a few small goals within a defined timeframe.

3. Cultivate self-appreciation, engage in introspection to identify your unique attributes, and avoid comparing your average or less desirable qualities to others' exemplary traits. Your strengths will undoubtedly outperform many others', and differentiation is the key to success.

4. Cultivate relationships with individuals who share similar values, expand your knowledge of the world and its people, and embrace new challenges. The world will be your oyster.

5. The suggestions are for reference only. We are all connected in this global community. Best regards.

Greetings!

From the information provided, it is evident that the subject is experiencing a range of negative emotions, including doubt, unease, anxiety, and helplessness.

You have indicated that you have been engaged in fantasies that are implausible and potentially dangerous. For instance, you have been entertaining the notion that you reside on the third floor of a building, despite being aware that you have no intention of jumping off the structure. The more you attempt to suppress these thoughts, the more you find yourself unable to regulate your actions. Consequently, you have sought guidance on how to address this issue.

Subsequently, three pieces of advice will be provided for your consideration.

Firstly, it is recommended that one does not attempt to force themselves to cease thinking; instead, they should permit themselves to engage in thought and observe the subsequent developments.

One may engage in free association, a crucial technique in psychoanalysis, to contemplate the circumstances surrounding the incident, the rationale behind the jump, and the emotions experienced during the act.

There are two reasons for pursuing this course of action.

First, the act of imagining the process and gaining an understanding of it is likely to result in a sense of relaxation, as it provides a sense of familiarity and control.

Secondly, it is advised that one should permit their thoughts to emerge from their subconscious and avoid the influence of emotional responses that may arise during such fantasies.

One can only gain insight into one's own mental processes by first disengaging from the fantasies in question.

Secondly, it is recommended that you consider the recent events that may have contributed to this line of thinking.

When one permits oneself to engage in cognitive processes, one has the capacity to direct one's attention toward the identification of the underlying issues. In contrast, when one is engaged in resisting the internalized notion that "I should not have these fantasies," one's cognitive resources are consumed by the effort to maintain this internalized prohibition.

At this juncture, it would be beneficial to consider any recent occurrences that may have influenced your current state of mind.

The question thus arises as to whether the individual has been experiencing a high level of pressure recently, leading to concerns about their ability to cope. Alternatively, it may be that the individual has recently encountered something that has caused disappointment or disheartening. There may, however, be other factors at play. Regardless of the specific cause, the individual may be able to identify the underlying reason for their current emotional state through introspection, thereby facilitating a transition out of that state.

It is again recommended that an effort be made to identify potential causes and to determine solutions.

For example, if the assumption is that the thoughts in question may have been prompted by recent periods of elevated stress, it would be beneficial to consider potential strategies for alleviating this internal pressure. By focusing on the task at hand and directing one's attention toward problem-solving, it is probable that the tendency to ruminate on implausible scenarios will diminish.

In the event that no recent external factors can be identified, it may be beneficial to engage in a distracting activity and observe the results.

For example, engaging in physical activity, reading, or socializing with positive individuals may also assist in alleviating the current state of mind.

In conclusion, if one wishes to emerge from one's current state, one may first attempt "free association" without exerting undue pressure, then reflect on one's recent experiences in an effort to identify potential causes, and finally, endeavor to ascertain solutions to these causes or seek alternative forms of distraction.

It is my hope that this response will prove beneficial.

Greetings! I extend to you a warm embrace from a distance.

I would like to express my gratitude for your decision to seek assistance.

Every thought and action has its own rationale. Therefore, it is important to allow oneself to engage in these fantasies and then to explore and identify the needs that they satisfy. Once these needs have been identified, it becomes possible to understand why one engages in these fantasies on a regular basis.

Every desire is accompanied by a sense of lack. When we do not obtain what we desire in reality, we frequently attempt to compensate and gratify ourselves through unconscious fantasies, with the aim of reducing the psychological gap. In other words, the aspects that we fantasize about are the aspects that we are unable to achieve in reality, yet they are the aspects that we particularly desire.

In other words, the individual possesses a concept of an ideal self that serves to compensate for perceived shortcomings and deficiencies in their actual self. While the ideal self fulfills many of the individual's aspirations and desires for their actual self, which is perceived as inadequate, the discrepancy between the two selves is becoming increasingly pronounced. Consequently, the more powerful the ideal self becomes, the more fragile and powerless the actual self in reality becomes. Over time, this will result in a state of self-division, leading to a further distance between the two selves. However, the ideal self is not a tangible entity and cannot return to reality, which may result in feelings of distress and suffering.

Consequently, in order to alter this mindset and cease the pursuit of unattainable ideals, it is essential to cultivate an ability to embrace one's authentic self and relinquish the attachment to perfectionism. By discerning the underlying genuine necessities that drive these fantasies, one can then identify more suitable and fulfilling avenues for self-expression.

The process of accepting one's true self entails recognizing the strengths and positive attributes, while simultaneously acknowledging the shortcomings and deficiencies. However, it is crucial to avoid defining and evaluating oneself based on these perceived imperfections. Instead, it is essential to embrace the ability to make mistakes and to accept one's imperfections as opportunities for growth and learning.

It is recommended that individuals cultivate a greater number of interests and passions, thereby becoming irreplaceable in their field of expertise. As they gain more professional experience and control over their work, they will become more confident and accepting of their true selves. They will no longer feel the need to prove their strength through an imaginary perfect self.

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

This problem may be related to something you have experienced, or have you been under too much stress recently? It's totally normal to feel bored or irritated sometimes!

However, we must distinguish between thoughts and reality. Focusing on the present and doing what you want to do will help you!

Now for some tips!

1. It's time to understand that these thoughts you're having are just thoughts. Thoughts are not facts, they are not real, and they can be changed and adjusted. So, adjust your thoughts positively, or when these thoughts arise, say to yourself, "Stop," and then focus your attention on what you're doing!

2. The best thing you can do is accept your thoughts for what they are.

It's totally normal for some strange, horrible, dirty thoughts to pop up. These are our distracting thoughts, and like emotions, they have their own set of processes from occurrence to disappearance. If you accept their existence and know that they're meaningless "distracting thoughts," ignore them, and they'll disappear!

But here's the thing: if you pay attention to it, argue with it, etc., then you'll be bound by it.

So, go ahead and adopt the approach of letting nature take its course and doing what needs to be done!

The appearance of distracting thoughts is a natural thing, and we must allow it to exist. While "going with the flow," we get to focus our attention on the objective reality, doing the work, studying, chatting, etc. Do what you should do!

You might still have some distracting thoughts that cause you pain at first, but as long as you believe they will naturally disappear in time and work hard to do the things you should be doing in real life, you'll be just fine!

And then, just like that, those distracting thoughts and emotions will disappear without you even noticing as you get on with your work!

3. Absolutely, pay attention to timely releasing and relieving your emotions!

It's important to remember that emotions are not suppressed. They will find an appropriate opportunity to erupt in a more violent way if they are suppressed.

When emotions come, be aware of why you are angry. What needs of yours are not being met?

Once you've identified the core reason for your anger, you can start working hard to solve it! This will have a fantastic impact on your mood.

And there are so many other ways you can release those emotions!

It's time to socialize with the right friends and talk about your worries and confusion! Make sure you choose the right friends for you: those who can give you support and encouragement, those with whom you feel comfortable, and those who are the right friends for you.

It's time to get moving! Exercise and play sports you love to relax your body and mind while getting your physical fitness in tip-top shape.

● Get those thoughts and feelings out of your head and onto paper! Don't worry about whether your handwriting is perfect or if your ideas make sense, just let it all out!

Now for something really fun! Punch pillows and sandbags to release your anger by hitting soft objects!

Now for something really fun! Use the empty chair technique to release those pent-up emotions. All you have to do is place an empty chair in the room, assume that the person you want to talk to is sitting in the chair, and then express yourself to the chair (anger, abuse are fine).

I wish you the best of luck!

Hello! I'd like to give you a warm hug from afar first.

I'm Yang Lili, your point of contact here.

What's confusing you is that you can't help but fantasize about things that can't possibly happen. The more you try to control these fantasies, the more you realize that they are difficult to control.

If you want to make a change, you have to be willing to accept and allow yourself to have this imaginary state.

It's clear that you want it because you lack it. This shows that these are the parts of you that aren't being met in real life. You fantasize about them over and over because they aren't being met in real life. Because of this, you unconsciously repress these needs in yourself.

But your needs won't just disappear if you repress and hide them. You need to acknowledge them and respond to them. So, this fantasy is a way of reminding you of that.

The person you fantasize about has abilities that no one in real life can have, such as jumping off buildings. The moral of the story is that we all want to be faster, higher, and look better and more different from others.

So, this fantasy is a reflection of your inner perfect self. The reason for the fantasy of a perfect self is that you also live with an inadequate self inside, and you can't accept this inadequate self.

This less-than-perfect self makes you feel inferior and unconfident. So you tend to use an imaginary powerful, perfect self to hide the real, vulnerable, inferior, and unconfident self.

In other words, the more perfect the self you imagine, the more powerless the real self you are. You may not realize it, but the contrast between the two is growing, making it harder to accept and hate the real self in your life. You can't change this real self you've always disliked, so you'll continue to experience pain from self-division.

If you want to change your current state, you need to learn to accept yourself as you are. Admit that you have flaws and shortcomings, but also recognize your strengths and positive qualities.

Don't define yourself by what you do. Nobody's perfect, and you don't need to be either.

All you need to do is be true to yourself. If you compare yourself to your own past performance, you'll become more and more powerful and confident.

Although residing on the third floor precludes the possibility of jumping from the building, the persistent notion that one might do so is difficult to dispel. These thoughts resemble a spirited horse that is increasingly difficult to rein in.

When one is unable to regulate the onset and cessation of cognitive processes, the sensation of losing control can precipitate a state of near-collapse, helplessness, hopelessness, and powerlessness.

It is our hope that the following text will provide you with the support and guidance you need to navigate your current challenges.

A substantial body of research indicates that the impulse to leap from a considerable height is a common phenomenon.

It has been demonstrated that the impulse to leap from a considerable height is a common phenomenon.

It is therefore recommended that you relax, as you are not alone. This almost obsessive thought is in fact a strategy that has been inherited from our ancestors and that serves to protect us. It is precisely because of the constant sound of this "alarm" from a height that we are able to avoid danger.

It is evident that the aforementioned "alarm" is currently unduly intense and has a detrimental impact on one's daily life. To regain a more optimal state, the following measures can be employed:

It is evident that the aforementioned "alarm" is currently unduly intense and has a considerable impact on one's daily life. In order to achieve a more optimal state, the following measures can be employed:

First, it is recommended that a review of the situation be conducted, including an estimation of the duration of the imagined act of jumping from a building. Additionally, a list of the facts that have affected one's daily life and caused restlessness should be compiled.

Should this phenomenon persist for a period exceeding two weeks, and should the intensity and frequency continue to increase, and in addition to the aforementioned jumping, there are other events that the subject feels they have no control over that keep circling in their mind, it would be advisable to visit a psychiatric hospital to confirm the situation.

It is not uncommon for individuals to experience psychological distress in conjunction with physical ailments.

2. In the event of a recurrence of the auditory hallucination, "I'm going to jump," the individual should proceed to engage in a written or drawn expression of their inner emotions and feelings.

2. In the event of a recurrence of the auditory stimulus, "I'm going to jump," the individual is instructed to take out a piece of paper and a pen and express their inner emotions and feelings in any manner they see fit, whether through writing or drawing.

When attention is concentrated on the thought itself, it can intensify feelings of unease about the uncontrollable nature of thoughts. Therefore, if feasible, expressing and focusing on the emotional changes caused by thoughts in another form can help to alleviate emotional fluctuations to a certain extent and gradually restore a sense of calm.

3. Mindfulness meditation may be employed as a means of alleviating the panic and anxiety that are caused by thoughts.

Mindfulness is an effective method for managing panic, anxiety, and other negative emotions. When thoughts become overwhelming, mindfulness can be a valuable tool for relaxation and emotional regulation.

Additionally, a plethora of audio resources are available at no cost or for a fee. It is recommended that the user select the option that aligns with their needs to facilitate practice.

It is my hope that the aforementioned information will prove beneficial to you. Sincerely,

Hello, OP.

I'll give you a warm hug first.

The questioner imagines impossible things about herself and doubts, "Why am I like this?" Is there a psychological problem with this state of mind?

Here are a few suggestions to help you feel less troubled.

1. Live in the moment and appreciate what you have.

The most beautiful state of life is to have seen the darkness and suffering of the world, but still believe in its beauty.

Be aware of your current physical state and how you are feeling. What is the one thing you want to do most right now? Focus your attention back on your real life. Does the questioner have any particular favorite things or people they love? We can talk about our life's troubles with the people around us.

Your inner fatigue and stress should have an outlet. There are things in the real world worth aspiring to and beautiful wishes you can achieve through your own efforts.

2. Be kind to yourself.

When you feel bad, don't be afraid. This is your problem, not theirs.

Support yourself and believe you can overcome emotional conflicts. Sometimes, trusting your own ideas can make you doubt yourself and feel worse. Being confident helps you overcome problems.

3. Relax and be happy.

Has the questioner had a reason to be unhappy recently? If you want time alone to sort out your mind, read "The Woman Who Dances with Wolves." Be tolerant with yourself.

To relax and let off steam, try new things. Get your positive emotions going and be happy again.

I'm Xiaona, and I'm happy.

I love you, and I'm ready to grow up with you.

Hello, I have a question for you.

You said you're 25 and have lost control of your thoughts several times. You live on the third floor and know you won't jump, but your mind always thinks you will and fantasizes about impossible things. The more you try not to think about it, the more you can't control yourself. What should you do?

I'm sure you're aware that this "uncontrollable thought in your head" is affecting you deeply, otherwise you wouldn't be seeking help here! Could you tell me if something happened to the questioner before this situation occurred?

Has something like this ever happened before? Aside from unlikely fantasies like jumping off a third-floor building, what other fantasies do you have?

How much of an impact do these thoughts have on your life, studies, and work? If you are bothered by these thoughts sometimes, but your work, studies, and interpersonal relationships are not affected, then there is no problem and you can adjust.

Has anyone in your family or your grandparents' generation had any kind of mental illness?

From a psychological perspective, if the issues you're facing, such as depression or distress, last for 1–2 months (no longer than two months), don't affect your studies or work, and the emotions are caused by real problems, it's likely that you're experiencing an internal conflict. This is a common type of conflict that most people can relate to, such as feeling heartbroken or lost, or being bullied at school and afraid to go to school. There's no generalization, which means that the initial event isn't causing your current negative psychological and behavioral reactions. Instead, similar or related events can also trigger your emotions. If this is the case, it's likely that you're facing a general psychological problem. There are a few ways to address this. You can talk to friends, read books, or adjust your behavior. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can also seek professional psychological counseling.

Severe psychological problems have a significant time difference. Time is an important factor in diagnosis, generally lasting between two and six months (no longer than six months). Additionally, the inner conflict is relatively strong, affecting both work and study. For instance, at work or school, others may notice a temporary loss of emotional control.

But the inner conflict is also common. (It's generalized, meaning the event that caused the emotion isn't the original one, and similar events will also cause one's emotions. For example, at first it was because one was heartbroken and suffering, but later when one saw others walking intimately on the street, one would once again become uncontrollably sad and suffer.

)

Neuroses are basically distortion conflicts. What's a distortion conflict? It's something that most people can't understand, like obsessing over washing your hands for a long time or obsessing over whether or not to take medicine for a whole day. These people seem a bit unbelievable to most people.

Then, typically, it'll be less than three months. Social functions, learning, and work are often significantly affected.

Because being so preoccupied will inevitably cause other things to be delayed. And no one else can stand it either!

For instance, if you're struggling to decide whether or not to take medicine, would it be difficult for your friend to face this situation? Furthermore, if you generalize, it's easy to lose control of your emotions.

Here's some more info on obsessive thinking. It's also called obsessive thoughts. It's when a certain idea or concept keeps coming up in a person's mind, and it feels like you can't stop thinking about it.

He might know that this thought is unnecessary and even absurd, and try to get rid of it, but he can't control these thoughts, so he often feels "out of control" and at the same time has irritable and anxious emotions.

If you're too strict with yourself and you're really aware of trying to stop this situation, it'll make you feel more conflicted. The best thing to do is talk about it in a way that's appropriate, let it happen naturally, and don't worry about it. You have to know that the thoughts in our minds aren't under our control.

You have the thought of jumping in your head, but you won't actually jump. Next time it comes back, you can try talking to the thought. You can say to it, "Look, you're here again. I see you. You're creating this thought. What are you trying to tell me? Talk to this thought. Treat it as a friend, not an enemy. Always trying to get rid of it will only make it follow more fiercely.

If that doesn't work, it might be time to talk to a professional.

I hope this is helpful!

Hello, Chu Mingdeng here. I feel the same way when I read your question.

Like you, I fantasize about jumping off roofs and cutting off my fingers.

I don't dwell on this kind of thinking. I accept it and think it's reasonable.

Just as disease-causing cells and white blood cells coexist in our bodies, disease-causing bacteria and dust are inhaled into the lungs. When we eat with our hands, germs and food are eaten into the stomach.

Bad things exist. Those who magnify them become obsessive-compulsive, while those who don't care only get sick if they have a poor constitution.

We need to understand that we don't say thoughts are bad and suppress them.

No matter if a thought is good or bad, we should face it and say, "I allow it to exist." The Buddha said, "There is no Bodhi tree; a mirror is not a stand; originally there is nothing; where will dust accumulate?"

Thoughts are neither good nor bad. They are unborn, unchanging, unstained, and unpolluted.

People tend to self-harm. How we deal with it makes a difference.

If you still have thoughts, you can use the substitution method or distraction methods like meditation, deep breathing, or listening to music.

I hope these methods help. I love you!

Hello, question asker!

From your description, I can feel the anxiety you feel because you can't control the thoughts in your head and you always imagine the impossible happening. I really hope I can help you!

In the fascinating field of psychology, there is an intriguing effect called the "white bear effect," also known as the rebound effect. This fascinating phenomenon originated from an experiment conducted by the brilliant Harvard University social psychologist Daniel Wegner. He asked participants to try not to imagine a white bear, but as a result of a powerful rebound in people's thinking, everyone quickly conjured up an image of a white bear in their minds.

Do you understand this amazing effect?

The fascinating thing about our minds is that when we deliberately shift our focus, our brains will start to keep an unconscious "autonomous monitoring" of our thoughts to make sure we're not dwelling on things we shouldn't. But here's the catch: we can't just give up on paying attention to things entirely.

So, here's the good news! The best way to truly stop thinking about something is to let it go and focus on the daily life and work that should be carried out. And guess what? Over time, you will stop thinking about it! This is the law of thinking, and it's working for you right now!

But wait, there's one more thing! If the impossible thing you're thinking about is a good thing, as we often say, it's totally fine to think about it. Just don't get carried away and confuse dreams with reality. Because when people are in a difficult situation or under pressure, daydreaming appropriately can help relieve the pressure!

Now, you're a smart girl, so I know you know what to do! Just do what you should do, and trust that time will get you out of your thinking rut!

Good day, I came across your query and I empathise with your situation, so I feel compelled to offer some advice.

I frequently encounter situations similar to those you described, such as:

When operating a motor vehicle, it is not uncommon to experience a concern that one might collide with an object or person in one's path. This is a particularly prevalent concern in my own experience.

In nearly every instance of this nature, the thought in question manifests itself in your mind.

In the event of a disagreement, you may find yourself entertaining images of abusing the other person. This is not a common occurrence, but it can have a negative impact on those involved.

I have previously experienced a similar phenomenon. When closing a window, I found myself involuntarily staring at the ground outside. This lasted only a second or so, but it felt like it had been fixed in my mind for a long time.

My residence is on the sixth floor. This incident occurred only once, and it resolved rapidly, from the moment the thought entered my mind to the moment I recognized it and resumed normal functioning. It has not recurred, but I am still mindful of the experience.

Because after you became aware of this thought, you involuntarily broke out in a cold sweat, which demonstrates the strength of this sense of fear. Therefore, when I saw your question today, I immediately recognized the extent to which this issue has caused you concern.

This kind of problem is referred to as "obsessive thinking" in psychological circles, but it is not the same as "obsessive-compulsive disorder." Obsessive thinking is a common phenomenon that often occurs in the lives of individuals without any underlying psychological issues. Therefore, the first point is that you are not experiencing any abnormal psychological conditions and there is no need for concern.

However, the recurrence of these thoughts will inevitably impact your life. Therefore, I recommend that you consider the potential causes. I only had the thought of jumping off a building once and knew it was impossible, so I continued with my activities afterwards.

I believe the situation is analogous to yours. Given that it occurred only once, I am confident in my understanding of the reason behind it.

The incident occurred in the afternoon, following a significant disagreement between my husband and me earlier that day. It is evident that a man's harsh words can have a profound impact on a woman, potentially leading to emotional distress and a disruption in her worldview. I recall experiencing a strong emotional response, which could be attributed to the disappointment in a loved one, the resulting stress, the confusion about life, and the fact that my cognitive function may have been impaired due to emotional distress.

I would advise you to take some time to reflect on your life. Are there any aspects of it that are causing you undue stress? Are you feeling unhappy with your current situation?

If you are unsure of your future goals, it is important to understand that it does not have to be a significant event. Prolonged, chronic stress can have a detrimental impact on your well-being.

If you find yourself in this situation, you can begin by changing your perspective and adjusting your mindset. Secondly, you can address the issues in your life and, without noticing, find that everything improves.

In conclusion, the other two obsessive thoughts, such as driving, often occur with the same frequency as the problem of wanting to jump off a building. Thus far, this has not affected my life.

Naturally, each instance causes me a modicum of annoyance. However, it is important to recognize that this is a thought that may occur to any normal person. Once it has passed, there is no need to dwell on it further. Sometimes I view it as a source of humor, sometimes I discuss it with friends in the car, and sometimes we all have a good laugh. Sometimes, friends will even share their own experiences, such as the fact that they have similar thoughts at other times.

After that, there is no cause for concern.

It is important to adjust your mindset. You are an individual with unique thoughts and perspectives. Our brains are capable of remarkable processing, generating hundreds of thoughts per second. Sometimes, one of these thoughts may capture your attention. However, it is essential not to let these thoughts overwhelm you.

It is important to relax, live your life, and find your purpose. Do not allow minor issues to distract you from your goals. Stay focused and motivated!

Please share your thoughts on this matter. Do you concur with my assessment? I am seeking to connect with individuals who share a similar outlook.

I really want to warm you up. I'm like a lotus flower, and I hope my reply will give you lots of support.

Living on the third floor, sometimes I can't help but want to jump off. I always fantasize about things that will never happen. It's really hard! I can't always control my body. My mind is too powerful, my thoughts outweigh my actions.

Take your time to think things through, then go for it! You're thinking about things that haven't happened yet. Are you a prophet? A superpower?

It's time to let go and move on, my dear friend. Take a deep breath and calm down. Take a moment to reflect on the life you've lived.

? Take a step back from letting others control you.

I've been through 25 years of spring and autumn, which is such a wonderful age for a girl! It's a time when you can wear beautiful clothes and live and work freely. It's great to be young! I'm sure you've experienced some patterns of treatment that you found difficult.

It's so hard when others deny you.

It's so important to remember that others can't control you. You are in charge of your own life!

You know, you've been hypnotized. It's time to fill that empty box of lack of love inside us with knowledge so that we can discover and perceive love. If you can't do it for too long, you'll always think more than you act.

We're all constantly hypnotized by these patterns, but we can break free! We can fill the empty box of lack of love within us through knowledge, so that we have the ability to discover and perceive love. If you can't do it for too long, you will always think more than act.

It's time to slow down, my friend. Let's bring our thoughts and actions together. Be aware of our bodies, and be aware of our breathing.

I really love this question, and I think it's so important. What is the meaning and value of being alive?

Hey there! I just wanted to remind you that what happened in the past is done and dusted, and the future is full of surprises! The best thing you can do is focus on the present, live in the moment and embrace your inner youth!

Hello!

You mentioned that you always fantasize about something bad. There's usually some psychological meaning behind the phenomenon, so I want to clarify a few things. In the process of thinking about these issues, you may find a way to solve your problems that suits you.

I'd like to ask when this first started happening. Was there anything going on at the time?

When do you typically engage in fantasies? What steps do you take to manage them and prevent them from becoming obsessive thoughts?

Does this affect your life in any way, like your sleep, work, or studies?

Also, have you ever discussed this with friends or family? If so, how did they react?

Has the situation with the fantasy changed after you talked about it?

Maybe you've already found a way to deal with it while thinking about the above questions. If not, you can try not controlling such thoughts. When fantasies come up, you can stop in the fantasy, breathe naturally and slowly, and focus on the sensations in your body. Scan your body from top to bottom, looking for any areas of tension, swelling, or other discomfort, and then focus your attention on this uncomfortable area, continue breathing naturally, and see what changes slowly occur?

Practicing this exercise regularly can help you manage your fantasies and uncover the underlying unconscious thoughts.

Your fantasies are like a messenger that invites you to explore, understand, and grow yourself. Don't reject them, but entertain them. They may lead you on a very different journey in life.

If you're still not able to explore this area on your own, you can find a suitable consultant on the platform to explore it with you. I'm sure every consultant would be delighted to be part of your special journey.

Best of luck!

Hello, I'm Li Lianming. You said you have unrealistic thoughts, but didn't mention your lifestyle or physical health. Do any of these situations apply to you?

You go to bed late and stay up late. During the day, you feel dizzy and your mental state is not good, but at night you are full of energy and cannot sleep. Do you have a lot of work to do, which makes you tired during the day and anxious? Do you have symptoms of neurasthenia? Do you also have frequent dreams when sleeping, and often forget things you should remember?

Don't stay up late, have a regular routine, eat a balanced diet, avoid convenience foods and takeaways, exercise every day, listen to soothing music before going to bed, and if you have trouble sleeping and feel dizzy during the day, take vitamin B1 and rice germ to help regulate your sleep.

Eat more calming foods like walnuts, lilies, lotus seeds, red dates, and milk. Eat less spicy, stimulating, and greasy foods. This will calm your mind and nourish your brain.

Avoid fatigue and staying up late. Get enough rest and sleep. After a period of adjustment, those strange thoughts will disappear.

Hello there!

It's totally understandable that you fantasize about things that can't happen and that you can't control these thoughts. It's also totally normal to have the thought that you will jump off the third floor. I'm here to support you through this.

It's totally normal to want to avoid getting yourself into that state. But here's the thing: when you resist and confront uncomfortable thoughts, you create conflict. And conflict uses up a lot of your energy, leaving you feeling exhausted.

Take some time to think deeply about the thought of "always imagining that you will jump off the third floor." Is this thought a gentle reminder to pay attention to the negative emotions that have been neglected in real life?

First, take a moment to think about whether your current life is feeling a bit too stressful, whether there are any challenges you're facing that you're struggling to overcome on your own, and whether you feel like you could use more understanding and support from friends and family, which might be contributing to a build-up of negative emotions.

However, if we don't find a way to let our emotions out, they can build up until we reach a breaking point. At that point, we might even think about jumping off the third floor! That's our mind trying to tell us that it's time for a change.

I've put together a few self-regulation methods that I think you'll find really helpful.

1. Why not give meditation a try? It's a great way to become more aware of your physical and mental state by focusing on your breathing and catching your thoughts. You'll be amazed at how meditation helps you to gain control over chaotic thoughts and pent-up emotions.

2. Try shifting your attention to more positive and creative things. You know, the more we focus on positive and creative things (like improving our abilities in various aspects), the more likely we are to gain the energy from positive feedback in our actions and have more positive expectations for life.

3. When you're facing a challenge that's too big for you to handle on your own, don't be afraid to reach out for help. Talk to an experienced family member or friend, or confide in someone you trust. Just by talking about your feelings, you can feel better and let go of your stress a little bit.

If you're still struggling and haven't seen any improvement, don't worry! You can also book an appointment with a professional counselor to help you work through your situation.

Wishing you all the best!

Good morning, girl! I'm Will, your counselor.

You're worried that you can't control your thoughts. What should you do?

Do you think changing your perception and getting rid of these thoughts will make you feel better?

You've also labeled the problem as "treatment," "disease diagnosis," "psychological counseling," and "mental disorder."

I don't know much about psychology. How long have you been dealing with this?

"I have been unable to control my thoughts. I live on the third floor and know that I won't jump, but my mind always thinks that I will." This thought can end a person's life. Perhaps this is why you avoid thinking about these things?

Let's see what changes in your emotions happen when you think about this. Have there been any big changes in your work or life recently?

Are you working or still in school? How stressed are you?

Answering these questions will help us know what to work on next.

"Why do I imagine impossible things?"

Your body might be telling you to rest or adjust something.

I might be tired.

It could also be a suggestion from movies or TV, or too much information, which makes the brain tired.

The problem is caused by a real person. I suggest you relax by adjusting your state, rather than eliminating fantasies. Relaxation methods include walking, trips, or meditation.

If you've been struggling with this for a while and don't have the energy to deal with it yourself, you might want to consider getting a consultant to assess it.

That's all I can think of for now. I hope it helps. If you find it useful, please like and follow it. Thanks!

I love you, world! I hope the questioner finds what satisfies them!

Hello!

I am careless, and I am grateful for the encounter. The original poster is self-aware and sensitive.

Good question!

?

Let's sort out the confusion:

We live on the third floor, so the corridor is lower.

When we stand next to the corridor, we feel like we might fall.

Our imagination defends against danger.

We may imagine that being on the third floor is dangerous. How is it dangerous?

We may think it's a person.

This is a kind of attraction born out of fear. It makes us pay attention unconsciously.

Our emotions tell us to avoid dangerous things.

Don't stop playing and fooling around. It's dangerous.

We must recognize that our hearts are vulnerable to suggestions.

Avoid staying in the dangerous part of the corridor window for a long time. Stay with your classmates in the room.

When the threat is gone, we'll feel safe again. We won't be afraid.

I hope this helps the questioner. It's a blessing to have a friend like them. I wish them health, happiness, and joy!

I'm Qingshe. I love you!

Finding a distraction that fully engages your mind could be beneficial, like diving into a new hobby or project that you're passionate about.

Sometimes our minds play tricks on us. Meditative practices or mindfulness exercises might help calm those intrusive thoughts and bring you peace.

It's important to remind yourself that having these thoughts doesn't mean you will act on them. Sharing your feelings with trusted friends or family can also offer relief.

Consider keeping a journal of your thoughts; writing them down can sometimes diminish their power and help you track patterns that may be useful in understanding triggers.
