Recently, a new "unknown disease"
has appeared on the Internet frequently.
-"Disease syndrome"
"Disease syndrome" has these "symptoms"
1. I always feel uncomfortable in my body, sore throat, headache, muscle aches...
2. Refer to the symptoms of relatives and friends who are swelling online or around me to compare themselves repeatedly, and be overly alert and check for physical feelings, such as swallowing saliva many times. Determine whether your throat is dry and painful, the body feels hot, and you can't help measuring your body temperature, worry about whether your muscles are sore, and test antigen multiple times a day, etc.;
3. Pay attention to relevant information dynamics, such as who is around you, what are the symptoms of yang, how many people are yang, what will happen after yang...
4. Repeatedly ask, analyze, and judge whether you have the possibility of contacting positive people or environment and the time of contact, etc.;
5. Not only do you have to worry about whether you are yang, but you also hope to get positive sooner.
Netizen: Fantasy came true in the end
In this regard, psychiatric psychiatry department of Shanghai 10th People's Hospital psychiatric psychiatry, and attending physician Wang Meijuan gave everyone the answer. Both experts said: "Huanyang" is an anxiety about unknown situations and is a normal reaction. Don't be afraid.
Experts said that from the perspective of psychology, of course, there is no "illusion yang syndrome". The emergence of "illusion yang" actually reflects the psychological discomfort that people have developed rapidly in the short term and have changed their epidemic. Behind the joke about "Huanyang" is everyone's anxiety about the unknown situation after Yang is gone: teenagers are worried about their studies, middle-aged people are worried about their work progress being affected, and what should they do if the elderly and children are infected at home? The elderly are worried about the harm to their physical condition, etc.
"After three years of anti-epidemic process, everyone has experienced various uncertainties of all sizes. Faced with unknown and uncertain situations, worry and anxiety are normal reactions, and no matter how many experiences, they may still appear. What we need to do is not to be afraid and worry about uncontrollable things, panic and try our best to avoid negative situations, but to try to maintain a moderate emotional reaction and respond in a positive, reasonable and effective way." Xu Yuanhong said.
Can you do this when dealing with anxiety
So, what should you do when facing the possibility of infection and always feel anxious?
Wang Meijuan said that the future is always full of unknowns, and trying to control uncertainty is ultimately futile. Often, the more you want to control it, the more you are more uneasy and anxious. What we need to do is not to control the uncontrollable parts, such as whether the people we come into contact with every day and whether the environment we are in contact with every day, and when and where, and what people and things we have come into contact with; but to do a good job in controlling parts, such as personal life and family epidemic prevention.
Specifically, you can try the following content:
1. Understand the normal anxiety reactions caused by the current environment.
2. Pay attention to authoritative platforms and official scientific information, and pay attention to epidemic information for too long. It should be distracted in time to reduce excessive exposure to information bombardment and make it difficult to screen and identify.
3. Take good personal protection, prevent scientifically, and prepare for the future, but reduce unnecessary excessive hoarding and looting. If you blindly follow anxiety and make inappropriate prevention and reserve, it will not help relieve anxiety and may even strengthen anxiety behavior.
4. Try to maintain your normal pace of study, work and life, eat well, drink well, and eat healthy, supplement nutrition in moderation, and ensure adequate rest in body and mind.
What should I do if it is really "positive"?
Two experts said:
should believe in authority and keep emotional stability.
Xu Yuanhong pointed out that although the transmission power of the Omickron mutant strain has been enhanced, its harm to human functions has indeed been weakened. Most infected people have shown mild symptoms or asymptomatic symptoms, so if they are really positive, don’t have too much psychological burden. Instead of thinking before and after, it is better to keep your mood stable, which is more beneficial to restoring your health.You can refer to the following points:
1. Pay attention to authoritative and scientific information guidance, take physical symptoms reasonably, and reduce the catastrophicity of physical discomfort;
2. Take medicine correctly and rest. If the symptoms cannot be relieved or worsen, please go to the medical institution in time;
3. There is no need to worry too much about the impact of study, work and family after the positive period. You should understand your current dilemma, reduce unnecessary self-blame and internal attribution, and switch your attention from ideas to effective actions that can be taken, such as resting well to recover as soon as possible, and trying to do daily activities within your ability in a limited state and environment.
Generally speaking, appropriate attention should be paid to information related to the epidemic and epidemic prevention. It is not advisable to pay too much attention to affecting normal life, nor should it be too optimistic and taken lightly. More importantly, whether there is no yang, "yang over" or "yang health", maintaining a good and stable emotional state can help us improve our practical ability to respond to various situations.
Finally, if you find that "illusion sun" cannot be relieved through self-regulation, and may even gradually develop into "shock sun", and will have a certain impact on normal work and life, it is recommended that you seek help from mental and psychological professionals in time.
