Lately, I've been so overwhelmed with relationship and work stuff that I've been in a bad state. Last night, because of a small thing, accidentally evoked the previous traumatic memories, from 2-3 am can not stop crying, think of anything feel particularly broken. I was depressed two years ago, but I didn't go to the hospital to get a diagnosis, nor did I have counseling, and then I slowly got better by reading some psychological books on my own. Now I feel like I'm having a depressive episode again, I've been suffering from insomnia for a week, I always stay up late, I can't get out of bed in the morning, I'm tired, I have no energy, and I'm aching all over. Just now, my mood has stabilized a little bit, I am hesitant to go to the hospital psychiatric department, I plan to let my friend accompany me to go to see the dawn, first listen to professional advice before deciding.
Hello, I'm Toto.
This recent period of stress and frustration has reminded you of past traumas, and repressing these traumas does have hidden dangers, as in the case you are experiencing now; the combination of thinking back on previous heartbreaks and immediate stress has caused you to experience temporary insomnia.
The root cause of your current symptoms is actually insomnia.
The mind and body affect each other, and by getting one of them (such as trauma or insomnia issues) better first through effective methods, the other will follow.
Recommendations for treatment -
Recommendation one:
Addressing only the physical problem may only provide temporary relief because the trauma is still there and the depression may be triggered again in future setbacks.
I suggest starting with psychotherapy to get to the root of the problem and avoid future problems.
--Counseling. Recommendation two: Considering the cost of counseling, reading psychological self-help books is also a good option - not only for self-help, but also for self-improvement (e.g., increased psychological knowledge, improved mental fitness, emotional intelligence, etc.). You can start with some medication to improve insomnia to temporarily relieve your physical and mental state (you can also de-stress and regulate your emotions by running, eating chocolate, etc.), and then slowly work through the trauma through self-help readings (which is really kind of a self-investment).wish you health
