What should I do if I feel that my mood is about to collapse (what should I do if I collapse)

Fear, anxiety, loneliness ... For friends in many epidemic cities, these emotions are no strangers.

When people are isolated at home, they face the threat of life disruption to work/study, extreme loneliness and alienation, and the soaring psychological barriers.

Imagine what will happen when all these backlogs become unbearable burdens?

Last weekend, I called my friend in Changchun.

She said she always thought she was fine. She works online during the day, but the company itself is mainly engaged in current affairs activities, so there is little online office work and a lot of fishing time. Because she lives alone and no one talks, it's boring. Contact colleagues and friends on WeChat, learn to cook and watch TV series.

Therefore, everything seems to be going on in an orderly way except the inner desire for the outside world and freedom. It seems that life will not collapse as long as you persist.

But that night, when she turned off the light to get ready for bed, she just couldn't sleep. She suddenly collapsed and felt as if she hadn't spoken for days, so she said to herself, "Can I still talk?" After saying this to herself, she burst into tears for no reason. She really wants to talk to someone about her loneliness, helplessness and anxiety.

This state lasted for more than an hour, and she tried in vain to calm herself down through various methods. During this period, the mood changed from fear to doubt, and finally to helplessness and acceptance.

"What's wrong with me?" She always wanted to go.

After listening to her words, I suddenly thought of an article I read the other day. Lu Lin footballer, an academician of China Academy of Sciences, a psychiatrist and a clinical psychologist, and his team conducted a survey on the impact of COVID-19 epidemic on public mental health. By the end of 20021,there were about 70 million depression patients, 90 million anxiety patients and hundreds of millions of insomnia patients in COVID-19. This conclusion comes from Lu Lin footballer's continuous research on the COVID-19 epidemic. As early as February 2020, the survey found that about one-third of people who were isolated at home would have depression, anxiety, insomnia and acute stress reaction, and most people's mentality had not returned to normal after the outbreak.

During the blockade, we were forced to be isolated from offices, schools or other occasions, and naturally we could not obtain the necessary conditions for human beings to become social animals.

According to a study of 20 15, in a certain period, the mortality rate of people with strong social ties is 50% higher than that of people with weak social ties.

In other words, loneliness is almost as deadly as smoking.

Instead of waiting for the end of everything in panic, we can also do something by ourselves to relieve discomfort.

qigong

Step 1: Breathe slowly and count to four. Feel the air enter your lungs.

Step 2: Hold your breath for 4 seconds. Try to avoid inhaling or exhaling.

Step 3: Breathe out slowly through your mouth for 4 seconds.

Step 4: Repeat step 1 to step 3 until you feel calm.

Divert attention

Think about what you wanted to do at home before. Don't be afraid to do it badly. Do it if you want, right away.

Check the address book

Check the mobile phone and WeChat address book. If you haven't contacted your friends for more than 3 months, just make a phone call or chat on WeChat and call again. If you can't talk together, don't talk. Change to the next one.

As Stefan Zweig said, "Let's get some sleep. Everything will look different during the day. "
