What It's Really Like Living With Anxiety
Anxiety is one of the most common mental illnesses worldwide. So common, yet so misunderstood. Everybody has heard of it but few really understand it. Usually, when you tell someone you suffer from anxiety, they think you just feel anxious easier or more often than most people.

Harvard psychologist: 4 manifestations of children's low self-esteem, parents should intervene in time
The inferiority complex will accompany a person's life and have a great impact on their psychological growth, especially for children. If a child has an inferiority complex since childhood, both work and family will be affected when they grow up. Therefore, parents should pay more attention when educating their children, and don't let their children take a detour!

Anxiety Almost Killed Me
Hi my name is Courtney. I have had anxiety for as long as I can remember. Growing up I was always nervous and very reserved around new people. The anxiety started affecting my everyday life and mundane activities. I would overthink everything and my confidence was very low. I first got prescribed my anxiety medication in 2017. In the beginning I had minor side effects, mainly headaches. I started noticing over time I was increasingly gaining water weight. Even my physician at the time didn’t connect my weight gain to my medication. I fell deep into a depression over the next 3 years. I was working out and even cut out gluten/dairy, started eating more vegetables, drinking more water and focusing on getting more sleep. Nothing seemed to be working. It was very difficult to buy clothes and feel confident in something that made me feel “fat”. I started losing a little weight over time but I still was retaining water like crazy. I finally decided to speak with my doctor (new physician) and decided to taper off of my medication. In May 2021 I finally tapered off of my medication (which I had done in the past and I also resigned from my job). Few days go by and I start feeling very emotional, crying, dizziness, nausea and depression. It got so bad that I couldn’t get up to cook, clean, dishes or even stand long enough in the shower without feeling dizzy. I would post on my socialmedia/networking from my couch. I ended up having crippling social anxiety and feeling isolated. I kept thinking,”Is this worth it?” I made the decision to go back on my medication (lowest dosage) I was like enough is enough. I tried meditating, smoking marijuana and listening to music. The symptoms were too much to bare. I would constantly get negative thoughts. I felt trapped in my own body and wanted to give up. My boyfriend has been so supportive and patient. I would feel bad when I was fed up and frustrated. I would yell at him about little things. It was putting a damper on our relationship. We are in such a better place and getting stronger everyday. I’m also getting my strength back. I believe what you put into the world you get back. I recently launched my own business. I feel more resilient moving forward. Remember to check on people. You never know what someone is going through! Instagram: @Courtlashae5

Psychology: Frequent cranky thinking is "high internal friction" behavior, these 6 small methods can be effectively adjusted
Staying up late is to experience the feeling of "alive". I believe everyone has had this experience: Obviously I was very sleepy, but lying on the bed, my eyes were fixed on the screen of the phone, and he was reluctant to put down the phone to sleep.

Psychology: Emotional loss in childhood is almost a retaliatory self-healing after growing up
The act of satisfying oneself with revenge reveals the emotional lack of childhood. Everyone has experienced some emotional deficiencies when they were very young. In the process of growing up, some people have stronger psychological adjustment ability and overcome the emotional lack of childhood; while some people may need more than ten years or even decades to heal themselves. Because there are no perfect parents in the world, everyone has experienced one kind of emotional loss in childhood. The purpose of our discussion of childhood emotional loss is not to blame the parents, but to reveal the deep-seated problems within the individual, to help the individual to open the original heart knot, and thus to grow. Psychologists have found that individuals with childhood emotional deficits almost heal themselves in a vindictive way when they grow up.

When you take the mind seriously, the mind and body will split. Learn to improve the mental dimension and integrate the mind and body.
Based on the thinking mode under the mood disorder, everything will be distorted and interpreted through such a rigid thinking mode, and try to solve it. The result is a series of disasters. There is such a legend in ancient Roman mythology that Saturn overthrew the brutal rule of his father Uranus and became the new king of the gods. Before his death, his father cursed him and said: You will also be taken by your son. overthrow! In order to prevent the word from becoming a truth, the Saturn ate his 5 sons in a row, but was eventually overthrown by his sixth son, Jupiter, the Greek mythological Zeus. There are similar legends in ancient my country. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang Guangdaxing made complaints about the civil engineering. The proverb “Yang Hualuo, Li Huakai” was spread among the people. The sensitive Sui Yang emperor slaughtered the Li family in the world, but It was eventually replaced by Taiyuan Li Yuan and his son.

What is the manifestation of depression in the early stage? Which type of people are more prone to depression?
In recent years, due to various reasons, the number of patients with depression is increasing. It is regrettable that although the number of people suffering from depression is increasing, people still don't know enough about depression, and it can even be said that they don't care about it.

Mingling as a sociophobe
On Friday night I attended my daughter’s high school formal. I had been feeling restless and distracted in the days leading up to it. But once there I discovered that these feelings were experienced by others and that they were completely normal. I also realised that my nervousness wasn’t simply due to my usual social anxiety. My fragile emotional state was also the result of processing feelings of letting go. My baby girl was reaching a major milestone. Things were (are) changing. She is almost eighteen. My baby is navigating her way through a transition, preparing to leave her school days behind and enter the world of adulthood and independence. Meanwhile, I am navigating my way through a very reflective period. I am confronted with the sadness that accompanies loss and endings. We are both standing on the threshold of new beginnings and the uncertainty that surrounds that. Our lives are changing. And adapting to change is something I have always found a challenge.
