Illness Starts from the Mind: Your Body Knows the Pain in Your Heart

Illness Starts from the Mind: Your Body Knows the Pain in Your Heart

by Zhuo Wenqi, Mo Di

Are you feeling pessimistic, cynical, and overwhelmed by negative energy? Why can't you find the spirit for anything?

Do people who appear optimistic and cheerful in daily life actually face pressure so great they could collapse at any moment?

How much have you noticed about your inner self, scarred and battered by trauma?

A healthy body stems from a healthy mind. Have you ever experienced these things:

Feeling dizzy or experiencing chest tightness, yet everything is normal when you see a doctor?

Forgetting a message you just received the very next second?

Mania, obsession with cleanliness, anorexia... alternating between depression and hyperexcitation?

A healthy body stems from a healthy mind. Is it possible that all of this is due to psychological issues?!

【When the Mind is Hurt, the Body Knows — Consequences of Psychosomatic Imbalance】

▶▶ Inexplicable Behaviors

Emotional control disorders: A normally modest and polite person suddenly shouting or slamming the table.

Involuntary anxiety: Constantly fidgeting with pens or scraps of paper, or sighing for no reason.

▶▶ Abnormal Behavior and Emotional Fluctuations

Mania: A quiet person suddenly becoming talkative and making easy promises; insomnia, abnormal excitement, and frequent unrealistic fantasies.

Lethargy: Scattered attention and inability to concentrate; pessimism and dissatisfaction with many things; forgetfulness, lack of energy, and feeling worthless.

▶▶ Aggressive Behavior

Under extreme pressure, humans exhibit instinctive behaviors to destroy everything.

Because the subconscious knows the other person won't fight back, the targets of venting are often the closest family members.

▶▶ Binge Eating or Anorexia

When internal troubles cannot be resolved, one may rely on food to relieve stress.

Psychological problems affect the taste nerves, sometimes leading to the other extreme—"anorexia." The body cannot absorb enough nutrients, which in turn leads to depression, creating a vicious cycle.

▶▶ Memory Confusion and Neurasthenia

Low receptivity when others speak, and easily forgetting what was just said.

▶▶ Hypertension

High-pressure groups in urban areas have a higher prevalence than those in relatively carefree rural areas.

【Are You a Person with Low Self-Esteem? — Where Does Inferiority Come From?】

▶▶ Lack of Self-Awareness

When a person cares too much about others' opinions, and those opinions (especially from authority figures) are too low, it affects self-identity, leading to an inferiority complex.

▶▶ Family Economic Factors

Some people feel inferior compared to those around them due to coming from poor backgrounds or living in hardship.

▶▶ Childhood Experiences

Childhood experiences have a significant impact on a person's life. Psychological research has confirmed that many psychological problems can find their crux in early life.

▶▶ Personality Traits and Willpower

Certain personalities tend to magnify negative consequences and cannot resolve negative experiences in a timely manner. Their psychology is more susceptible to external factors than others, leading to feelings of inferiority.

【Smiling Depression — It's Not Only Depression When You Look Sad】

Some people appear optimistic and active to the outside world, but their hearts are already covered in scars.

▶▶ A large portion of depression patients feel deeply suppressed inside but act as if nothing is wrong on the surface, wearing a smile without a trace of gloom. Medicine calls this "Smiling Depression," typical of professional smiles in the service industry.

▶▶ Patients with "Smiling Depression" are usually quite outstanding. To maintain a good image in the eyes of others, they deliberately conceal their emotions.

▶▶ When the pressure becomes unbearable, they may transform from an extremely confident person to a very insecure person, even doubting their abilities in all aspects.

【Five Training Methods to Strengthen Your Psychological Tolerance】

▶▶ Confidence Training: During meetings or classes, try to gradually sit in the front rows.

▶▶ Emotional Control Training: Physiology affects psychology; adjust your daily routine to maintain your best state.

▶▶ Willpower Training: Strong willpower is a powerful thrust for achieving anything.

▶▶ Social Skills Training: Maintain appropriate psychological distance from others and treat everyone with a calm mind.

▶▶ Life Planning Training: A life without prior planning, controlled by others, most easily leads to feelings of emptiness and helplessness.
