Lately I've been feeling like life is a pool of stagnant water, wasting my days aimlessly.
For example, in the past, when I saw a beautiful landscape, my heart would swell with infinite waves, and when I communicated with others, I could easily control the rhythm, and my life was full of flavor. But now, the scenery is just scenery, can no longer find that kind of mood, see the world is like playing a third-person game, no sense of personal involvement. Brain chaos, often several voices are arguing, as if he split into several people, I do not know whether it is a neurasthenia or psychological problems. It is difficult to concentrate, the state of mind as quiet as water has long disappeared, heartbeat is always particularly fast, even just woke up feeling panicky, tired as if not rested at all...
Hello, Mr. Owner. I'm Whale Social Worker.
What you're describing sounds a bit like the early signs of depression, I wonder how long this state has been going on?
Nowadays, the commonly used international diagnostic criteria for depression are ICD-10 and DSM-5. In China, we mainly refer to ICD-10, and the typical manifestations include low mood, loss of interest in things, lack of energy, or feeling tired all the time, etc. The diagnostic criteria for depression are ICD-10 and DSM-5.
main symptom (of a disease)
1. Low mood
The main manifestation is prolonged emotional depression and negative pessimism. The lighter ones may just mope around and feel that there is nothing to be happy about, while the heavier ones may feel hopeless and helpless, and even feel that there is no point in living. Many people's moods can be particularly bad in the morning and slightly better in the evening.
2. Slowing down of thinking
You may find that you talk less, your speech is slow and low, you have a little difficulty answering questions, and in severe cases you can't even carry on normal communication.
3. Declining mobility
The performance is to do things dawdling, lazy life, do not want to move, do not want to deal with people, avoid socializing. In serious cases, they may even be too lazy to take care of the basic needs of eating and drinking, or even not to talk about not moving, not eating or drinking.
Other symptoms
Some people may also feel that their memory has deteriorated, their concentration is poor and their reaction time is slow. Physically, they may also experience problems such as poor sleep, lack of energy, poor appetite, weight loss or constipation.
If conditions permit, it's best to get a counseling session or go to the hospital as soon as possible to confirm whether it's depression in time. But don't worry too much, this is just one of the possibilities.
The world and I care about you.
Get well soon (whale social worker)
