How anxious are contemporary people?

posted a circle of friends, and this one has a few fewer likes than the previous one. He has to think about whether he has offended someone recently.

1 After going to bed a little late, I started Baidu: "Can staying up late cause to die suddenly?

My boyfriend replied on WeChat for a minute, and he could imagine a plot of a bloody romance drama with the phone in his arms.

Have these anxieties also quietly dominated a night when you can't sleep?

delay anxiety

This is the 20th time since Xiao Li worked overtime until the early morning.

He began to reflect on his day. I hurried to the company and turned on the computer. Instead of dealing with the work first, I discussed today's game with my friends in the basketball group.

The boss came over to explain the work. He wrote it carefully and calculated the workload-it could be completed in 2 hours.

So after lunch break, he began to enter the empty state towards the computer. When it was almost time to get off work, I hurriedly started working. As a result, there were too many mistakes and the leader returned, so he had to work overtime and rework.

A picture that he felt like his daily life was going viral on the Internet:

Procrastination did not make him feel relaxed, but instead extended his anxiety.

boring and anxious

90 Lisa, who graduated from graduation, entered the insurance company to work through her parents' relationship.

Take a monthly salary of 2,500 yuan after tax, and throw away the rent of 600 yuan and the daily expenses of cosmetics, and there is nothing left. But with the subsidies from parents, it seems that you don’t have to worry about eating and drinking.

Her life is extremely stable, but she often falls into anxiety.

"Work is so boring, my life seems to be able to see my head at a glance." She flips through her circle of friends every day and sees her friends who are struggling in big cities who are busy and rich in life every day. She feels that she has been separated from this era.

"Do you want to quit your job and do what you want?" her best friend suggested.

But she hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll think about it again."

yearns for a different life, but is afraid of change; hates boredom, but is also afraid of freshness. Her anxiety seems to be an unsolvable problem.

separation anxiety

best friend said that after falling in love, she seemed to have separation anxiety .

She didn't meet her boyfriend for a day, and she suspected that the relationship between the two had come to an end, not as enthusiastic as before.

"I used to think I was a very independent girl, but I seemed to have changed."

Her boyfriend got a rare opportunity to go out in the company, but the two had to have a long-distance relationship for a year, which made her a little collapse.

"Do you think we will become increasingly alienated because of distance?"

She is worried about distance, worry about jet lag, and worry that the new foreign country will change her boyfriend.

The closer the day of separation, the more anxious she becomes.

Age anxiety

"I am 28 years old, not as good as the young people now."

A friend of mine just celebrated his 28th birthday and fell into anxiety.

She said that there was a sentence in her mind: Women start to go downhill after they are 25 years old. There are more and more post-95s in the company, and she feels that she is not "new" enough.

She often says self-deprecatingly at dinner parties: "I am already 28, so how can I compare to children in my early 20s?"

She also has a lot of evidence to prove her argument, such as having a child, her energy is dispersed.

She said that it’s not that she doesn’t want to make progress or learn, but that she doesn’t have time and opportunities.

So age became the cause and she fell into anxiety.

We are always worried about whether we will meet people who will go with us in the future, worry about work performance next month, and even worry about whether we have had a hot pot today and will we receive an unacceptable weight tomorrow, or whether our future life can develop as we hope...

Of course, we are more worried about those unknowns that cannot be touched. In this way, it seems that anxiety has become the norm of our life.

According to epidemiological data, 80%-90% of anxiety patients have an age before the age of 35, and the peak age is between 10 and 25 years old. In general, young people are more likely to feel anxious.

So what are the anxiety of contemporary young people? What is anxiety disorder?

Anxiety≠Anxiety ≠Anxiety

First of all, we need to be clear: feeling anxious does not mean that you suffer from anxiety.

Anxiety patients have different anxiety status than general anxiety. This abnormal anxiety is not sufficiently reasonable, and there are often inexplicable persistent mental tension, panic, or frequent physical discomfort.

Anxiety and depression are the most common psychological problems at present.

At present, the corrected prevalence rates of comorbidities of anxiety disorder, depression disorder, anxiety and depression disorder among patients who visited general hospitals were 8.6%, 12%, and 4.1%, respectively, and the prevalence rate that could reach any of the above diagnosis was 16.5%.

Anxiety may cause us to over-think and strong worry, always repeatedly pondering the mistakes we have made, thinking that we are worthless and full of frustration.

Sometimes panic and helplessness will appear for no reason, accompanied by physical problems such as palpitations , dizziness and stomachache .

Indescribable anxiety disorder?

Clinically, anxiety disorders can be divided into three forms: panic disorder , generalized anxiety , and social anxiety or social fear.

, panic disorder

Confirmation of panic disorder usually requires the patient to have at least three panic attacks per month, or to continue to be anxious for one month after the first attack.

Its main feature is that unpredictable panic attacks occur without any obvious triggers.

Patients will actively avoid scenes where panic attacks are expected, or things that may cause attacks.

, generalized anxiety

Confirmation of generalized anxiety usually requires the patient's course to last at least 6 months.

In most days, patients have uncontrollable excessive worry about ordinary things or activities almost every day, and are often accompanied by some physical symptoms, such as headache, nausea, stomachache and unbearable uncertainty.

, Social Anxiety/Fear

The course of social anxiety usually takes more than 3 months. During this period, patients will be overly or unrealistically afraid of social situations, unable to tolerate embarrassing scenes or scrutiny from others.

If anxiety disorder persists for a long time, it will easily lead to damage or even loss of our professional, social or interpersonal functions, affecting our daily life, and there will also be difficult-to-explain physical symptoms and (or) compulsive thinking and compulsive behaviors.

How to defeat anxiety?

If you are currently anxious, you must strengthen your self-psychological regulation in your daily life. Through reasonable diet, adequate sleep, proper exercise, enrich your mental life, record happy fragments in life, and seek help from professional doctors in time when the symptoms are serious.

, psychological counseling

Simple psychological communication, counseling and communication have certain effects on patients with anxiety disorders.

However, this is only one aspect of treatment. Anxiety cannot be solved simply by relying on psychological counseling.

, drug treatment

Currently, in clinical practice, according to the different drug receptors, it is divided into anti-anxiety drugs and anti-anxiety drugs.

The most commonly used anti-anxiety drugs are benzodiazepines and partial agonists of 5-HT1A receptors. Drugs with anti-anxiety effects include antidepressants with different chemical structures, etc., but this requires individualized medications based on the clinical characteristics of the subtype of anxiety disorders.

. Regular review

In order to prevent repeated attacks of anxiety disorders, you must take medication for a long time under the supervision of a doctor and review regularly.

After persisting in treatment, gradually reduce the dosage of drugs or stop taking them.

Don’t make your own decision to give up halfway without continuing treatment or interrupt treatment after finding that the condition has improved in the early stage of treatment.

Anxiety is a human instinct, but it is a skill to relieve anxiety; if it cannot be relieved for a long time, please seek medical treatment in time and standardize diagnosis and treatment. Helps you judge your current physical and mental state and bring your life back to normal trajectory.

Finally, I hope everyone can defeat anxiety because "nothing you worry about may not happen."
