Why It Is Important To Be Able To Calm Down When Dealing With Anxiety Problems
You think too much about your future or what you will do tomorrow, you want things to happen instantly, you no longer enjoy your life as before, you have excessive worries…
In short, you feel anguishwith increased heart rate, you feel short of breath, you have involuntary tremors, sweating, rapid breathing, a feeling of weakness or tiredness, you have problems falling asleep, and other symptoms associated with anxiety problems.
If this problem is not treated in time it can worsen to the point of somatizing and wearing down your physical and mental health. And anxiety disorders make us more vulnerable to pathologies such as cancer, diabetes, premature ejaculation problems, menstrual problems, gastrointestinal complications, heart problems, or acne, among others.
As your thoughts that generate anguish or anxiety make you feel negative emotions over and over again, in this cycle of discomfort the brain produces certain molecules with harmful effects if they accumulate too much in the body.
Part of them are hormones that circulate through the bloodstream and travel throughout your body, giving rise to chain reactions. that increase the chances of suffering from certain diseases.
It is for this reason that many people go through medical check-ups all the time, but no doctor or laboratory finds any health problems. The tests always come out normal, but despite that people continue to feel bad, because they have not treated the emotional problem.
Emotions are the main factor in whether a person is healthy or not, although in many ways, We have not been taught to pay them the attention they deserve.
Many times, the doctor is a professional who knows perfectly well that the root of the patient’s illness is the psychological factor, but still decides to do the check-up and gives the order to do the laboratory tests because that means an instant improvement for the person. who suffers the symptoms.
The patient hopes that some disease will be found, but contrary to expectations, according to analysis it is better than ever. This is when the treating doctor sends the patient to the psychologist, a context in which emotion management strategies are put into action.
Emotions are largely produced by our thoughts, and To a large extent, anxiety is directly related to overthinking about our problems in the future.: what will I do tomorrow, where will I live, what will I eat, who will I marry…
