Why am I so irritable for no reason?

Many people will wonder why they feel irritable for no reason, and there are many reasons for this phenomenon. The pace of social life today is very fast. People are under great pressure from family, work and life. Sometimes they feel irritable for no reason. We need to have ways to vent our emotions, such as chatting with friends, singing, drinking some wine, etc. Sometimes this happens due to a certain disease, such as heart disease, hyperthyroidism, etc.

What to do when you feel upset? Psychological research shows that there are various biological clocks in the human body, each with its own cycle. For example, the intellectual biological clock has a cycle of 33 days, the emotional biological clock has a cycle of 28 days, and the physical biological clock has a cycle of 23 days. So it is normal for people to feel mood swings and irritability sometimes. Although we cannot change our own biological rhythms, we can alleviate negative emotions through regulation, shorten the duration of mood swings, and reduce the adverse effects of irritability.

Here are some commonly used methods for your reference:

1. Psychological suggestion : Suggestion is a psychological phenomenon, which can be divided into positive suggestion and negative suggestion. When you are in a bad mood, if you give yourself negative suggestions, it will only make things worse and make you more irritable. At this time, you should give yourself positive suggestions, remind yourself that this is normal, the clouds will eventually dissipate, and at the same time, think about some of the good times and things you have experienced in the past that you are proud of, which can relieve your psychological pressure. The "Ah Q spiritual victory method" that people often talk about is actually a positive psychological suggestion from a psychological point of view. It should be said that this method is very effective in specific periods and occasions.

2. Goal shifting method: If you feel upset and unable to concentrate because of something or someone, don’t force yourself to do anything. At this time, you may want to watch TV, listen to music, write in a diary, or read one or two beautiful articles. Don’t think that this is a waste of time. In fact, “sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood”. Your emotions will be relieved and relaxed quickly, and you will be able to better do what you should and want to do.

3. Thought exchange method: Psychological research shows that everyone has the desire and need to communicate with others. Some people do not want others to know their worries, and are unwilling to express their inner distress, grievances and sadness. This not only does not help solve the problem, but also aggravates their own irritability and may cause psychological disorders over time. The correct approach is to find a close friend to communicate and talk with, or to find an online friend to chat with, or to talk to an object in your home and pour out your thoughts, so as to gradually eliminate your irritability.

4. Exercise release method : If the previous three methods are "mental therapies", then this method is a "material therapy" - achieving the purpose of eliminating irritability by consuming physical energy. When you are in a bad mood, you can run a few laps on the playground, play a game of ball, stretch your muscles, or yell a few times into the distance, sing a song, and relax your whole body.
