Medical Video: 7 Warning Signs You Are Emotionally And Mentally Exhausted
Dense activities often make us unconscious if we are actually disturbed psychologically. Dr. Steve Peters, a professor and psychiatrist from Sheffield Medical School, has a list of things that might happen to you often without realizing it, which is actually a sign of something else.
The things below often just pass away and are considered normal to ourselves, but it turns out that far behind that, the things below indicate that we are actually stressed and emotionally disturbed. What are these signs?
1. Feeling too emotional
In free time, often we carry a lot of burden of thoughts and problems in the head, until everything comes down to feelings and makes us emotional even crying. However, we often consider this as a normal thing, just a self-fragile state.
Don't underestimate such conditions. This turns out to be the forerunner of prolonged emotional disturbances in yourself.
2. Overtime even though it's not necessary
In this case, overtime is not only interpreted as work beyond the normal time limit, because it is an obligation. However, some people choose to stay in the office and delay going home because of one thing or another that is personal.
Now overtime is often used as an 'intended' activity. That is, many people choose overtime because it can be used as an escape from some of the things you want to avoid, such as problems at home, relationship problems, trying show off to superiors, and others. Indeed it seems like a shortcut to prevent stress, but who would have thought that overtime actually brings stress and emotional disturbances?
In essence, overtime like this only acts as an escape from stress which will then bring deeper stress. Therefore, think twice if you force overtime when you are carrying many personal thoughts.
3. Sensitive / angry quickly
There will be moments in our lives where we are very easily offended. Small things that disturb our comfort can we reply with anger that is not comparable. And the bad thing is, we often spill it on the people closest to us, or the people we care about. This clearly illustrates that we are stressed and disturbed emotional stability.
For superiors, be careful with these symptoms. Staff or subordinates should not always be targeted. Because, the impact will be worse than what you imagined. Controlling yourself in a situation like this is indeed a quite difficult challenge for us, but when all is in control, then good things will come to us.
4. Mood swing
Mood swing is a condition where the distance between happiness, sadness, and anger feels so close. These three things occur suddenly without apparent reason. If this happens to you, something might be wrong with you.
Steve Peters has several solutions for you who may or may not be in this condition. Speak up Try to share and shed your feelings for someone you think can give another perspective on life, it would be better if this person feels can be a solution or have a solution to the problems you are facing. Then, this can also open up and show what happens to us to ourselves. That is, sometimes by talking with other people we just realize what is happening to us.
5. Missing destination
Living with a clear purpose is good for us. We will go through days full of confidence and feel self-respect. However, what happens when what happens to us is the opposite, you feel you have no purpose.
We can get pleasure when we can overcome a goal, no matter how small the goal. So, it can be said that when we have a target, there will be a pleasure that we will achieve in the future. That means, if we feel that there is nothing to go to, then the promising pleasure is gone. This leads us to stress and emotional disturbances.
6. Always feel unappreciated
If someone feels that all of his treatment is not valued, even if it is not, then that person may be suffering from psychological problems. Then, feeling unappreciated can have an impact on another spectrum of emotions such as frustration, anger, inferiority, and even loss of self-confidence.
The best thing to do is to take over mind set with positive thinking. Because, such conditions cannot be helped by anyone except the person who controls the mind.
7. Always want to be in control
Due to interference within us, we are encouraged to control the environment outside ourselves. This tendency is very common. In essence, we try as possible to change all things to what we want them to be.
