This last month, I feel more and more tired, my physical condition is getting worse day by day, and I can't concentrate all the time, what should I do?
Hey, buddy!
Listening to you, I would suggest that you go to the hospital for a physical examination to make sure that it is not a health problem. If everything checks out fine, then you are probably experiencing "emotional exhaustion".
Emotional exhaustion is, to put it bluntly, too much stress leading to mental fatigue, low mood, and inattention. This is mostly related to your study pressure, and in the long run this may also disrupt hormone secretion, drag down your body, and even cause psychological problems.
So how do you cope with emotional exhaustion? Referring to some professional advice, I've summarized a few practical ways:
1. Face up to your emotions.
Don't take it hard, start by admitting that you are indeed tired and unhappy. The first step to improvement is to accept the status quo; if we pretend it's okay, we'll make it harder on ourselves instead. Recognize the problem in order to solve it better.
2. Identify sources of stress and reduce them.
Stress can come from one or more areas, try to list them and develop solutions step by step. Even if the problem can't be solved for a while, giving yourself some time and getting help from a reliable person will reduce the stress a lot.
3. Adoption of healthy living habits.
Eat well, sleep well, smoke and drink less, exercise more, and a regular routine can help you rejuvenate your body and mind. Balance your studies and life well, and slowly adjust your state of being disrupted by emotional exhaustion.
4. Try positive thinking or meditation.
Getting in touch with nature through deep breathing, yoga, and walking can be effective in relieving anxiety and smoothing out your emotions. Spend a few minutes a day practicing and you will feel more relaxed.
5. Interact more with people.
Loneliness can exacerbate emotional problems, so don't be stuffy, talk to your friends face-to-face more often. Even if it's just to spill your guts, the feeling of being listened to can go a long way to reducing stress.
6. Transformation of negative thinking.
Focus more on positive things, replace negative thinking with positive energy, compare yourself less to others, and live in the moment. These small changes can subconsciously boost your mood and health.
