The global epidemic situation has been repeated, and the epidemic prevention and control situation remains severe. Many people’s life and work rhythms have been disrupted. Some people may experience negative emotions such as anxiety and even insomnia during their stay at home.

How should we relieve anxiety and take good care of ourselves?

First of all, we need to know: anxiety ≠ anxiety disorder

It is normal to have anxiety caused by some troubles in life. Although these emotions may affect our work and life, under normal circumstances, they will return to normal in the short term.

But real anxiety disorders not only last for a long time, but also have some physiological symptoms, we must distinguish them.

Six reasons why you feel anxious:

1. When cases continue to appear, people may feel nervous, afraid and other emotions, and they don’t know when the epidemic will pass. This will directly affect our daily social life functions and physical health.

2. During the time of staying at home, some people are temporarily isolated from the outside world because humans are social animals, and interacting with people is a psychological need for people. Isolation will bring people a sense of loneliness, and staying away from people for a long time will cause inexplicable fear and worry.

3. The number of outdoor activities is reduced, playing mobile phones and playing games all day long, and sometimes life is irregular, which will cause changes in sleep patterns. If you experience discomfort, it may have adverse effects on your mood.

4. The time to contact family members has increased significantly, especially when "menopausal" encounters "puberty", there will inevitably be differences of opinion between the two generations due to different living habits. There are constant conflicts between parents and children, couples, and mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

5. Excessive attention to negative news on the Internet will amplify your bad emotions and even complain, thus making yourself fall into uncontrollable negative emotions.
