Heavy activity often makes us not realize that our psychological condition is disturbed. Dr. Steve Peters, professor and psychiatrist at Sheffield Medical School, notes conditions that you may experience frequently but not be aware of are signs of stress.
A number of these conditions are considered normal. But it turns out that this indicates that we are psychologically disturbed and under excessive stress. What are the signs?
1. Feeling too emotional
In our spare time, we often carry a lot of burden on thoughts and problems in our heads, until they all come down to feelings and make us emotional and even cry. However, we often think of it as something normal, just a fragile state of ourselves.
Don't underestimate such conditions. This turns out to be the forerunner to a prolonged emotional disturbance in you.
2. Overtime when it is not necessary
In this case, overtime does not only mean working past the normal deadline due to obligations. Some people choose to stay at the office and postpone going home for personal reasons.
For example, they choose overtime because it can be used as an escape for situations they want to avoid, such as family problems, relationships, trying show off to superiors, and others. At first glance, this is considered to be a shortcut to prevent stress, but overtime can actually bring stress and emotional disturbance.
Overwork to more can be an escape from stress for a while but has the potential to bring stress deeper. Therefore, think twice if you are pushing overtime when you have a lot of personal problems.
3. Sensitive / irritable
Under certain conditions we can become very irritable. The little things that disturb our comfort can be repaid with disproportionate anger.
Often it is easier for us to vent it out on the people closest and dear to us. This clearly illustrates that we are stressed and have disturbed emotional stability.
For superiors, be careful with this symptom. Staff or subordinates should not always be subjected to emotional targets because the impact can be worse than imagined. Controlling yourself in a situation like this is indeed a quite difficult challenge.
Mood swing is a condition in which the distance between happiness, sadness, and anger feels so close. These three things happen in turn for no apparent reason. If this has happened to you, there may be something wrong with your psychological condition.
Solutions that can be tried to overcome mood swingdue to stress, namely talk. Try to share and share your feelings with someone who you think can give you another perspective on seeing life. It would be better if this person could be a solution or have a solution to the problems you are currently facing.
Then, it also opens up and shows what happens to us to ourselves. That is, sometimes by talking to other people we just realize what is happening to us.
5. Missing purpose
Living with a clear purpose is good for us. We will live each day confidently and with a sense of self-worth. But stress sometimes makes us feel like we have lost our purpose. Signs of stress like this are something to watch out for.
Doing even the smallest of things, but you understand the goals that will make you happy in living them. So when that goal is lost or we don't know what we are aiming for, the fun of living everyday life will also disappear. This condition can be caused by stress and can lead to prolonged emotional upset.
6. Always feel unappreciated
When someone feels that all their treatment is not appreciated even though the facts are not like that, maybe that person is experiencing psychological problems. Feelings of disrespect can have an impact on another spectrum of emotions such as frustration, anger, low self-esteem, and even loss of self-confidence.
The best thing to do is take over mind set positive thinking. Because, such a situation cannot be helped by anyone unless the person controls his own mind.
7. Always want to be in control
Another sign or symptom of stress that is often experienced is obsessing over everything, including things outside ourselves. This trend is very common. In essence, we try our best to change things to the way we want them.
To overcome this symptom, we should try to accept reality and focus on things within ourselves.
