Hello Irina. In essence, neurosis, or rather a neurotic (borderline in its essence) disorder, is a psychosomatic disease that occurs as a result of the influence of any psycho-traumatic factors or situations. This disorder certainly - significantly worsens the quality of life. A person loses control over his thoughts and emotions, and in some cases even over his movements and actions. The patient, as a rule, is well aware of the pain of his condition. All his internal forces and resources, he directs exclusively to the fight against neurosis or its manifestations. In this case, a person has no strength left for self-development, happiness, joy or a career, and such a state can last for years, because only a few can overcome neurosis and get rid of it on their own. In people who suffer from this condition and do not know how to treat neurosis, anxiety and anxiety cause - not only the immediate symptoms of the disease, but also a feeling of powerlessness in front of the disease, fear of losing control over their lives, understanding the abnormality of their mental state. Despite the fact that the disease can be accompanied by very unpleasant symptoms, including psychosomatic ones, neurosis can be defeated and cured. Properly selected therapy not only helps to eliminate existing painful manifestations, but also to prevent the development of relapses in the future. Getting out of neurosis and overcoming it is just a part of therapy. For the final cure, it is necessary to eliminate the cause of the development of the disease. And at this stage, many patients have a question: if the disease arose as a result of a psychotrauma, for example, became the result of a personal tragedy, then the cause ceases to be relevant by itself over time? The fact is that the traumatic situation served only as an impetus for the development of the disease. The main problem lies in the person himself and in his personal attitude to the situation. Therefore, the answer to the question "how to treat a neurosis and how to get rid of it forever" is the correction of a person's attitude to psycho-traumatic situations. After all, none of us is immune from losses and life failures, but they help someone to become stronger, and then someone cannot recover and overcome neurosis for years. The main goal of a psychotherapist is to help a person become stronger than circumstances, learn to control their emotions in any situation, be able to act constructively, think positively, understand both themselves and those around them. And only when this task is completed, we can say that the neurosis is cured. You can also contact a specialized center or a private doctor, the main thing is that the specialist has sufficient experience and can choose individual methods that will help you to successfully deal with neurosis and quickly get out of this state. So, do not delay with a face-to-face appeal for professional help to a psychotherapist. The sooner you take measures to combat neurosis, the faster your condition will stabilize, and the faster you will begin to live a full happy life.

ANSWERED: 07/10/2015 Pokrovskaya Yulia Alexandrovna Moscow 0.0 Neurologist, head department. Psychotherapist

The symptomatology described by you considerably goes beyond a zone of an innervation of a vagus nerve, involves various systems and bodies. Also, its isolated lesion is extremely rare, so we are still talking about vegetative-vascular dystonia.

IF YOU ARE AN EMPAT, YOU CAN'T BE ABOUT BEING WITH INSINCERE PEOPLE!

By definition, empaths are emotionally sensitive people who absorb other people's emotions and feelings. Seems like a tedious job, right? Imagine being able to absorb all these feelings while being around a fake person. It is perplexing, frustrating and tormenting.

Have you ever spent time with someone who seemed quite nice and kind to look at, but when you were close to them or sitting next to them, you felt… terrible? You could hardly form a sentence. In a colloquial manner, this is because your sensitive antenna is picking up something wrong. You know that what you see and what is actually happening do not match, and this usually means that someone is hiding something.

Highly sensitive people need honest, deep, and meaningful relationships with other people.
Why empaths act weird around insincere people:

Empaths are gifted at reading body language and energy. They do not tolerate lies or deceit.

7 signs of a fake person that only empaths will understand:

He acts like a weak-willed person, so others automatically accept him.

He smiles and acts friendly, but is actually seething with anger and hatred.

He feels vulnerable and insecure and tries to act tough.

He forces himself to act in a certain way, which goes against his personality.

He constantly says nice things to get recognition.

He lies or exaggerates stories to please others.

Avoid them. It's not that they're doing something wrong, empaths just aren't getting positive vibes from them.

Form logical sentences and speak extremely difficult.

They feel the approach of fear and discomfort next to them. It only dissipates when the fakes go away.

Feel physically ill by spending long periods of time around them.

Hello. Lately, I've been getting sick of myself. I often see myself as a bad person. Well, now in order.

As a child, I had practically no friends. I just did not have enough attention from classmates and peers, but for some reason they did not like me. From that moment on, I began to consider myself unnecessary to anyone. Later, anger and hostility towards all classmates appeared, which caused fights and conflicts. I suffered defeat after defeat, insult after insult, trying to get through to my classmates. Everything was in vain. And so it continued until the 9th grade. I've done a lot of terrible things. I betrayed my best friend because he laughed at my failures. He joked with me, but did not understand that I was not pleased. I tried to talk, but everything went on again and again. My patience snapped and I dragged him into a very bad situation. As a result, I was not loved even more. For everyone I hurt, I became a f***er and a loser, as they said behind my back. After all, it was so difficult for them to support in difficult times !!! Bitches. But among all this crowd there was one girl who, no matter what, supported me and held her fists for me. Everything would be fine, but if not for my cruelty. I did not reciprocate her help. I laughed at her, like my former friend. I knew perfectly well inside that they were doing it wrong, but then something stupefied me and I decided to hate those who did not wish me bad. I left college after the ninth grade with a cold goodbye to my classmates.

Now I'm in my second year and everything seems to be going well. I became more calm. Thanks to the “brony” subculture, I found friends both on the Internet and in real life. They always support me and I am eternally grateful to them. That girl who supported me became my best friend and she is not mad at me. Everything seems to be fine, but the memories from the past make me regret my actions. My friend may have forgiven me, but I can't forgive myself and let go of the past. Every day I feel bad because I do not feel good in myself. I still hurt. Sometimes even tears well up, which is not like me at all. I don't know how to let go of the past. I live in perpetual anxiety and depression. I'm afraid that through my stupidity I'll lose these friends too. I became irritable and short-tempered. I can quarrel with my family for the slightest reason, because of the little things. I feel bad. I feel like a bad person, a terrible friend and son. I stopped believing in the best, my self-esteem fell. I can't forget the past and live in the present. I want it to be a little easier. And at night I fall asleep for a long time with thoughts that nothing will help me.

a person who has done bad things, but who at the same time feels like a bad person, is a person who is already working on himself. this suggests that he grew up, that he realized that he was wrong, changed for the better. respect yourself for it. it's worth a lot.

how to let go of the past? why let him go somewhere? because this is part of you, these were lessons for studying life, thanks to which you now know what is good for you and what is bad. you understood what it means to be offended by people and what it means to offend people. and you're only 16 years old. and you already know it. and this means that you have a chance to create a life around you, the life of your loved ones - without this aspect - without offending each other. and that's great.

why is this bothering you now? because you still have grievances against people, and you face a dilemma - to take revenge on people by hiding from them, or try to open up and be yourself real. choose the second option. and even if they spit in your soul again, continue to choose him always, as long as you can choose anything.

tell your family everything you think, that you are ashamed, that you love them, that you feel bad inside, that while you are still afraid of people because of what happened a long time ago. you can cry at the same time, no question.
tell the girl that you are still sorry that you did this. but even now you cannot yet be completely open and free from your childhood traumas. open up and seek the truth, and in this way you will find goodness in yourself and in the world around you.

the path of revenge and loneliness, this is just an imaginary means of saving oneself from "evil people." in fact, it is the most terrible way to death.

More tag questions

If someone feels unwell, it does not necessarily mean that they have an infectious disease, cancer, or some other obvious physical illness.

This can be associated with feelings of anxiety, fatigue, hopelessness, helplessness, depression, overwhelm, irritability, panic, and lack of control. The closest we can give to such a state is a prolonged state of negative emotional tension. Such a condition may be a reaction to a physical illness, but this is not always the case.

Emotional tension is caused by events that undermine and destroy our strengths, as well as situations that threaten our sense of integrity and self-confidence. This happens when we are sick, but also when there is not enough money, when children leave home, parents get sick and die, the company we work for goes bust, our partner spends more and more time away from home, our marriage falls apart, etc. d.

Tension is created in the conflict between habit and the risk of inevitable change, or the choice between holding on to something and giving up.

"Emotion" spurs us to action, forces us to change, adapt and develop in accordance with the expanding scope of our experience. If we dare not respond to an emotional impulse out of fear of loss or disintegration, we are left tense, hesitant and powerless from feeling trapped or deceived. This chronic state of tension, achieved through the involvement of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, can be discharged not only through an emotional state of panic, irritation, or depression, but also through physiological changes, the symptoms of which are fatigue, headaches, insomnia, indigestion, and indigestion. These physical symptoms are a manifestation of the body's protective function, as they shift attention from an "irresolvable" situation that causes emotional stress to finding a cure for physical ailment.

People with chronic symptoms of anxiety, panic, depression, and "functional" somatic symptoms have dysregulated physiological responses to treatment, resulting in over- or suppressed activity of the autonomic nervous system and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal gland secreting the stress hormone cortisone.

Prolonged emotional stress is not only the cause of "functional" symptoms, but can lead to real pathological changes. The connection between psychological stress and so-called "organic" diseases is well traced in cases of hypertension, peptic ulcer, ulcerative colitis, thyrotoxicosis and cardiovascular diseases. These diseases are the replacement of emotional and psychological discomfort with something obvious and tangible, they give a real reason to feel bad, seek help and get away from the need to recognize the real cause of one's emotional stress.

Psychological and functional symptoms are now becoming much more common than ever. Statistics show that in the developed countries of the world from 30 to 40% of people suffer from chronic fatigue, 40% - dyspepsia, 15% - back pain, 20% - chronic bowel disorders, 20% - recurring pain in the abdominal cavity, 50% - overweight, and 35% of young women have severe premenstrual symptoms.

Anxiety and depression affect 35% of women and 13% of men. Figuratively speaking, millions of people suffer from headaches and back pain, suffer from abdominal cramps and are troubled by diarrhea. Ringing in the ears, exhaustion, sleep disturbances, constipation, nausea, weakness, and lack of appetite are also common. Many are accompanied by shortness of breath or chest pain, excessive nervousness or depression, lack of strength.

But where does all this come from? Why do we feel bad?

The answer is simple: the lives that so many people lead in our ultra-modern Western civilization seem to lack permanence and stability, which creates emotional tension. Our society is becoming fragile, in total discord with the environment we have created for ourselves. At the beginning of the last century, people married for life, lived as a family in their own house, were engaged in the same business, and their life went on in the same city until their death. Today, the average Westerner changes jobs 3 or 4 times, marries twice, and moves 5 times. Never in its history has human society experienced a period of such unprecedented acceleration of change.

A person does not have time to get used to the emotional stress caused by one change, as he is already overtaken by another. For example, a change of job may entail a change of home, separation from the family. There is no time to react and come to terms with what is happening. More than ever, man must exist in an environment of instability and unpredictability.

There is a constant threat of family breakup, job loss, change of home - all this prepares a constant hidden emotional stress. The dramatic increase in functional illness and depression over the past forty years, as well as the shift towards self-medication, well reflect the difficulties that people experience in coming to terms with the changes taking place in their lives.

People react very differently to the same events in life. Some trust themselves and hold back their emotions, no matter how life turns out, others fall into panic and despair at the slightest twist of fate. There are few people who have not experienced feelings of division after family separation or divorce, loss of self-control during unemployment, feelings of defilement after assault or sexual abuse, a terrifying emptiness after the death of a child. Terrible events like this can make most people sick. But some people are so vulnerable and on the verge of a breakdown that they can feel bad even as a result of the most ordinary situations, for example, remaining unnoticed by an acquaintance they met or arguing with a work colleague.

Many are constantly tormented by the problem of approaching old age, loneliness and disease. Such sensitive natures need the support of family and friends, the security of home and marriage, a sense of their own importance at work and a sense of their own self, expressed in attachment to things, in one way or another way to spend the weekend, in their worldview, faith, in loyalty to your favorite football team, etc. All this helps them to preserve their own face, the integrity of the individual and find peace of mind. The loss of any of these factors can make them feel a state of complete chaos and fragmentation.

Our ability to control our emotional state develops at an early age through communication with parents. A child is born into the world helpless, reacting to changes in the world around him with obvious physiological suffering. His communication with the outside world must be carried out primarily with the help of his mother, who not only feeds and protects him, keeps him dry and warm, but also provides him with safety and an environment in which the basic biological rhythms of sleep, feeding and more complex elements are instilled. behavior through subtle cues such as smiling, gentle touch, voice modulations, and eye expressions.

As the child grows, the mental abilities and self-confidence are developed, with the help of which he regulates his physiological and behavioral reactions in constant communication with his parents. Gradually, he learns to create safe corners in his mind, he is calmed by his favorite toy filled with a special meaning, he is given confidence by children's stories filled with the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bthe strength of the family and protection from danger.

Communication with the father creates a different way of looking at things, and the expanding network of communication in family and friends, the increasing frequency of encounters with the wider world opens up many perspectives and provides experiences that allow you to form a personality, achieve the necessary emotional maturity, individuality and independence in order to confidently cope with the vicissitudes of life in human society.

The emergence of a thinking space, the ability to think and deal with danger, considering it with insight and understanding based on life experience, so as to assess it calmly and competently - this is the secret of forming an independent and active person. This process begins in childhood from communication with parents and the outside world.

Lack of communication with the mother or the absence of a father can leave the “grown up” child without the mental resources necessary to calmly cope with the changes and troubles that we encounter and not be too dependent on external factors. Property, family, friends, home, social structure and faith - all this contributes to the preservation of the integrity of the individual.

The loss of one of these factors can expose a person to severe feelings and stress, which can be expressed through anxiety, behavioral disturbances, internal disorders. Metaphorically speaking, the hero remains at the mercy of "his own demons", which make him sick and can only be driven out with the help of magic spells. Immature thinking is known for its black and white perception.

Working conditions, the destruction of family ties, the disintegration of social structures make it difficult for modern parents to properly understand this problem. Modern fathers cannot be around long enough to shape their growing child's relationship with the rest of the world and provide a family social circle. Mothers feel the lack of support and try to cope with it. Some leave the child in front of the TV, calm down with food and treats, while they themselves do the necessary work at this time. Others overprotect and shield their children and themselves from the harsh reality and deprive children of independence by doing everything for them. In both cases, the child does not receive the social environment that is necessary to achieve his emotional maturity and complete independence.

Psychoanalyst Eric Brenman has said that a mother who is unsupported and unable to cope transfers her anxiety to her child, creating a tense and unstable environment. At the same time, she tries to deny physical reality and avoid disaster by comforting the child with treats and toys.

The feeling of the fragility of existence is further enhanced by the fall of those authorities that formed the basis of our society and gave us a sense of security. The authority of the church, the government, the monarchy, the law, the public health system, and the family have been progressively destroyed over the past fifty years. After that, a vacuum remained, in which vulnerable and insecure natures flounder, trying to find the meaning of their own lives, to determine the rules of ethics, a model of behavior, the basis for faith and life position.

Nature and society cannot stand emptiness, so the space is gradually filled with powerful media. But instead of being the center of stability, television, radio, magazines and the Internet release confusing, contradictory, sensational and sometimes irresponsible information. Far from being suppressed, our insecurities are fueled by the idea propagated by the media that absolutely everything in this world threatens us.

The food we eat and the water we drink, the air we breathe, the car we drive, the work we do, the sex we enjoy, even the phone we use, everything is potentially dangerous and can shorten our lives, sometimes quite a bit. at least that's what the media wants to convince us.

We are constantly concerned about the risk to our health that we accept without evidence. Given the bad reputation of modern medicine, it's no surprise that so many people are turning to alternative or alternative medicine, as well as nutritional supplements to help them live.
