makes your body and mind feel at ease and move closer to happiness!
Let’s just talk about the method and ignore the logic.
Method 1
Spiritual Victory Method - Whatever happens to you is a good phenomenon !
If you can't explain it, you can just find a fallacy. As long as you accept it in your heart, it doesn't matter whether it is scientific or not.
Method Two
War Victory Method - Treat solving anxiety and depression as a war, see through the enemy's illusions, find the enemy's weaknesses, and defeat them.
After two or three years of medication, my anxiety, depression, and insomnia have still not been cured. Even my physical symptoms have not been resolved. Taking medication can only alleviate it slightly.
When physical symptoms occur, such as chest tightness and palpitation, trying to divert attention away from it will not work.
As a result, I became more and more pessimistic, more afraid, and more doubtful about myself...
After taking medicine for a period of time, you will develop drug resistance, and you will take more and more.
The most obvious one is sleeping pills. The normal dosage is two pills a day. One pill is effective at first, but after a while, two pills are needed. Later, two pills are no longer enough, and three or even four pills are needed.
When I asked for twice as many sleeping pills but the doctor didn’t dare to prescribe them, I realized that this was not the answer in the long run. It has been three years, and although I am still alive with medication, this kind of life is not what I want. Simply relying on medication may not be suitable for me. I may not be able to get rid of them in my lifetime. Besides, the drugs are all resistant. Now I am taking more and more. What will I do then? The doctors didn’t even dare to prescribe it!
After thinking hard, I suddenly realized that if my struggle with anxiety, depression and insomnia could be regarded as a war. It turned out that I relied on medicine, a mercenary , to fight. I hid aside and did not pick up any weapons to fight, not even to pick up a stone and hit it. Totally dependent on external forces.
And history has proved that there has never been a war between countries in this world that has been won purely by mercenaries. They can only play a supporting role. It is possible to win a partial victory, but it is wishful thinking and unrealistic to expect to hire them to win a comprehensive war and build a strong country.
Therefore, I made a strategic mistake when I initially placed all my hopes for a cure on the mercenary drug.
If you want to win this war, mercenaries can only go to the auxiliary battlefield. Your own army is the main force. Only your own army will do whatever it takes to defend your country.
The problem is, I have to find where my army is.
I continued to think deeply, and I came to the conclusion that can help me defeat the army of anxiety, depression and insomnia, which is my own cognition and behavior. These are the only two things that I can command and control, and I have to make good use of them. After
figured this out, he wrote an article to motivate himself, "Overcoming Anxiety and Insomnia is a War between Oneself and Oneself." The article has been posted earlier. Friends who are interested can read it.
Since anxiety, depression and insomnia are regarded as enemies, if you want to win this war, you must pay attention to some strategies and tactics.
If you continue to think, you will have the four steps of analysis, search, action, and summary. Analyze the enemy, find weapons to defeat the enemy, start combat operations, review and summarize the pros and cons of the battle, etc. strategic thinking .
Sun Tzu said in the Art of War that if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
If you want to win and kill the enemy, it is best to first understand the details of the enemy.
After careful consideration, I am ready to fight the battle of hypochondriacal thoughts first, deal with these enemies, and first reduce some of the burden on my nerves.
According to the four steps of analysis, search, action, and summary that you have understood, you must first analyze the enemy.
Why am I afraid of sudden death from a heart attack?
It was because the smoke screen released by the enemy deceived him. He suffered from panic palpitations , dizziness, cold sweats, chest tightness, shortness of breath and pain, etc. The illusion created was so realistic that it was very similar to the symptoms of heart disease .
But if it is fake, it cannot be true. There must be a loophole. I must find this flaw.
I put a lot of thought into this.
starts with cognition.
Originally, when I developed physical symptoms such as palpitation, shortness of breath, cold sweats, etc., my first reaction was that I was afraid of having a heart attack. In fact, I have very little knowledge about heart disease. At most, I search for some symptoms on the Internet, and then compare them with my own symptoms. I only define myself by the symptoms that are consistent, and turn a blind eye to the ones that are not consistent. The conclusions I get are simply taken for granted.
People who don’t even understand where the heart of is and where is, rashly conclude that they have heart disease. Isn’t it absurd?
After thinking about it, I searched for various information, consulted doctors, and even once met a person who had a heart attack and fell to the ground. 120 was on the scene for first aid. I endured the discomfort and watched, carefully observing the patient's performance, and thinking about the differences with myself.
found the theoretical basis that he is not suffering from heart disease.
For example, I had palpitations and a dull pain in my chest. I had always suspected that I had angina pectoris and was afraid of myocardial infarction. After studying this knowledge in detail, I finally got rid of it from my heart.
1. I found that real angina pectoris is the kind of severe and unbearable pain. It is much more serious than my own symptoms and can be ruled out.
2. It can also be ruled out from the time of attack. If it is really angina pectoris, like me, sometimes the pain will not stop for a day, and I will have fainted long ago. It is impossible not to suffer from sudden death .
3. Normal angina pectoris attacks have triggers, such as after exercise or emotional ups and downs. Generally, it can be relieved by lying down and resting. My symptoms have no pattern and no trigger. They come on suddenly for no reason and cannot be relieved by rest.
4. Normal angina can definitely be seen with an electrocardiogram. I have done electrocardiograms so many times, and many doctors in many hospitals have never found the problem and can rule it out.
Based on the above four points, I have changed my perception, and I am 99.9% certain that my chest tightness, shortness of breath, palpitations and chest pain are hypochondriasis .
To be sure, I bought another bottle of Suxiao Jiuxin Pills to take with me. If I really couldn’t bear it, I could hold on to a few pills to make it to the hospital. In this way,
found the army of knowing himself, and then used his behavior to give himself some psychological safety support.
Whenever symptoms occur again, I think to myself, I am not suffering from heart disease, these are hypochondriacal hallucinations caused by neurasthenia caused by anxiety, depression and insomnia . It can be proven from points one, two, three and four that I have a deep understanding of it. If there is an emergency, wouldn't there be quick-acting Jiuxin pills? If you can't bear it, just take a few pills. Then touch the medicine bottle in your pocket, and you will usually calm down slowly.
Of course, there were times when I couldn’t help but swallow the pills, but I never went to the hospital once.
In fact, Suxiao Jiuxin Pill is basically used to treat coronary heart disease , but it may not be symptomatic for myocardial infarction. I didn't understand it until later.
But at that time, it just calmed me down, it was just a placebo effect. The name of this medicine is well-named, it saves the heart, and it is quick-acting, which is very reassuring. Ha ha.
has written so many words and only briefly wrote about the second method - the war victory method, so I will post it first.
Treat anxiety, depression and insomnia as a war, change your cognition and behavior, and know yourself and the enemy best, and you will definitely win.
Let’s write about the so-called spiritual victory method in the next section.
I am Lao Shi, and I wish everyone to feel at ease physically and mentally!
