Self-treatment of anxiety and depression

There are many types of depression, and its main type is determined by the cause of the patient's illness. For example, anxiety depression is caused by the patient being in an anxious environment for a long time. Patients need to maintain an optimistic attitude, stay away from anxious environments, and relax themselves, so as to alleviate the condition. Let us now learn about self-treatment methods for anxiety and depression.

1. Let go of your obsessions from the bottom of your heart, such as caring about other people's opinions, pursuing perfection, worrying about life, etc. As for how to let go of your obsession, one method is to listen more and think more about the right knowledge and right mindfulness of life. Whenever you are troubled, you can remember these principles and change your mind. In this way, the obsession will gradually fade away.

2. Insomnia is a vicious cycle. The worse you sleep, the worse your automatic sleep mechanism becomes. Therefore, you must rest for a period of time. Just lie in bed. You will eventually fall asleep after 24 hours. Then sleep until you wake up naturally. Repeat this several times and your sleep system will basically be restored.

3. The alarm clock has a greater impact on insomniacs. If they can’t fall asleep after an hour in bed, they will worry about having to get up in the morning and if they still can’t fall asleep, that will be a problem. My own way to solve this problem is to slowly settle down through various experiences, and understand from the bottom of my heart that nothing is particularly important or particularly unimportant. If you can sleep, sleep, and if you can't sleep, forget it.

1. Taking medicine and persisting in taking it is very important, it can really help you.

2. Psychological counseling. Meeting the right psychologist is like finding the right lover. Sometimes it’s not that the counselor is unprofessional, it’s just that his aura is not right, or the expression and tone he uses make you uncomfortable, or the distance is too far and you can’t sustain it, or you just don’t want to continue consulting with him. So don't be impatient, try more.

3. You can read some books related to psychology and self-help, such as "Satir Model and Self-Growth", "Self-Training: Changing the Habits of Anxiety and Depression"... You can also try to write a diary. When you are most emotionally broken, try your best to pick up a pen and write down all the thoughts, ideas and opinions that flash through your mind at that time. Then, when your emotions have stabilized, look at it and observe your previous cognitive logic, and you will slowly discover your extreme cognitive biases.

4. Exercise. As long as you are willing to move, everything will develop in a good direction. You will get better. Believe in yourself.
