Feeling groggy and confused all day long

Many people may have experienced this phenomenon, that is, feeling drowsy all day long and always feeling confused. Generally, there are many reasons for this phenomenon, it may be due to excessive fatigue, or it may be caused by long-term insufficient blood supply to the brain. If you want to improve this situation, it is best to develop good living habits and pay more attention to rest. Or it may be caused by neurasthenia. In fact, no matter what the cause is, it must be actively treated.

These 5 symptoms indicate that you are suffering from a nervous breakdown

1. Have escape fantasies

We all have a built-in element of emotional resilience that helps us get through trauma and times of anxiety and depression.

Escape fantasy is part of this natural defense system. Your brain's limbic system knows that the situation you're in poses a threat to your health, so it sends you signals to flee.

2. No downtime

Anxiety has a cumulative effect, like water drops in a glass; if you don't empty it frequently, the water will overflow.

Therefore, it is important to take time out every day to relax. Doing 20 minutes of mindfulness meditation breathing exercises throughout the day for five days can reduce anxiety and lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol.

3. Difficulty in making decisions

Having trouble making decisions, even as small as what to eat for breakfast, can be one of the earliest warning signs of poor mental health. Similarly, people who are mentally exhausted feel overwhelmed by daily tasks. It is often a symptom of an excess of cortisol and is accompanied by a lack of focus and concentration.

The patient may also have a fear of doing something wrong and constant self-doubt; questioning their ability to do even the simplest tasks. They also experience feelings of shame that are difficult to cope with.

4. Withdraw from social life

When you're feeling overwhelmed, the instinct to isolate yourself from others is logical. When your brain is in overload, you turn away from further stimulation or avoid any effort that requires it. However, this is also a dilemma.

Lack of social support can worsen anxiety and depression and make people feel lonely and isolated. When you are in this state of mind, everything you see is negative.

5. Insomnia and nightmares

Neurasthenia patients have decreased intrinsic inhibition in the cerebral cortex, which makes their nerves easily excitable. It is difficult for them to cause widespread inhibition diffusion during sleep, making it difficult for them to fall asleep or to fall asleep deeply enough. They are easily awakened or their sleep time is too short, or they have difficulty falling asleep again after waking up.

3 tips to relieve neurasthenia

1. Psychotherapy

Before conducting psychotherapy, a psychologist will collect a detailed medical history from the patient. After fully understanding the patient, he or she will communicate with the patient based on the specific situation. During psychotherapy, psychologists communicate with patients to help them correctly understand the disease, find the cause, transform their bad personality, and strengthen their confidence in treatment.

2. Insulin hypoglycemia therapy

After using insulin hypoglycemia therapy to treat neurasthenia, patients' subjective symptoms improved rapidly, especially for neurasthenia patients with digestive system symptoms, weakness, sleep disorders and anxiety.

3. Acupuncture

Generally, acupuncture or ear acupuncture can be used in combination with Chinese herbal medicine for treatment.
