I always feel sick.
I always feel sick.

I always feel sick. In life, some people always feel that they have physical problems, but they are really healthy after the examination, but they don't believe the hospital diagnosis and always think that they are sick. Let me give you a brief idea of why they always feel sick.

Always feel sick 1 1, don't check related symptoms on the Internet at will:

Recently, I received several hypochondriacs (excessively worried and suspected that I was seriously ill-cancer, AIDS, etc. ) I found that they all have the habit of checking Baidu.

However, whether we find a good result (not supporting diagnosis) or an unfavorable result (supporting diagnosis), patients' anxiety will be aggravated.

This is very interesting.

I remember a similar situation when I was studying diagnostics. Every time I learn about a new disease, I suspect that I have it, and the corresponding body parts really feel uncomfortable.

Are we really very sick?

Obviously not. It's a problem with the cognitive process of the brain. We magnify some small probability events and make the brain mistakenly think that the body has serious diseases. Especially after we read the corresponding data, this amplification effect will become more obvious.

Therefore, when the body sends out abnormal signals, we should go to a specialist for answers instead of searching information online. After all, Baidu's search quality is really poor. If you really want to check, I suggest you change your search engine, such as clove doctor, which is very reliable.

2, adjust the cognitive bias:

Statistics is a way for us to know the world and look for universal laws. Once the statistical data is wrong, it may lead to cognitive bias.

Anxious patients are always worried about bad results, even if the probability is lower, they can't help worrying. No matter how many tests the hypochondriac has made to deny his guess, a "one thousand" can scare him into a cold sweat. Forced actors are afraid that they have not completed an action, and once something goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The degree of people's fear of these concerns generally conforms to the expectation formula in mathematics (expectation = probability of occurrence * severity of things). Even if the probability is very low, as long as he thinks of unbearable results-such as worrying about plane crash, seeing spots on his skin, worrying about melanoma, or thinking of having his home stolen because he forgot to lock the door, he will show various worries because of rising expectations, and accordingly he will have anxiety, hypochondria and obsessive-compulsive symptoms.

But whether something happens depends on probability, not expectation. This is a common misunderstanding of neurotic patients.

3, learn to transfer the attention to the body and health:

Many people in life have this experience. If you read one more word, you will dislike it more and more. This phenomenon is actually very common, not only in language, but also in a familiar place or a familiar face. After a long time, it may suddenly become strange.

Similarly, if a person pays too much attention to his figure or face, it is not normal.

When a hypochondriac encounters something unpleasant, one day he looks in the mirror and feels ugly. He will spend a long time looking in the mirror every day and then have plastic surgery repeatedly, but his belief that he is ugly has not wavered.

Children with anorexia pay great attention to their body shape and appearance every day. Although they are already very thin, they still think they are very fat. So they strictly control their diet, almost live on vegetables and leaves, and refuse all carbohydrates and meat.

Mr. Xu Youxin once wrote, "We look at ourselves repeatedly or constantly, and have anxiety and fear about health and life, which is enough to make our body function disorder and cause pain and discomfort."

"A healthy person lives with his body as if he had no body, and he doesn't pay attention to it at all. The pain of many people does not come from illness, but from reflection. "

In addition, a word looks less and less like it after a long time. This phenomenon is called Jamais vu, and interested students can check it themselves.

4. Understand the strange circle of hypochondriacs:

A hypochondriac repeatedly wanted to have a check-up, and the ECG results were fine. Two days later, he had to undergo an echocardiogram. After seeing the negative results, he still couldn't dispel his doubts and continued to ask for cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. His life seems to be stuck in this link. He has no time to care about his wife and children, and he has no energy to continue to realize himself at work. He always thought, "I can't go on without this."

Keep moving forward on the road of repeated tests, but this is tantamount to "drinking poison to quench thirst." Every normal examination result can only make him free for a short time, and then he just keeps repeating, but his life is stagnant.

Adler said in "Inferiority and Transcendence"-"The development of neurotic patients was blocked from the beginning, and their answers to various questions in life stayed on the surface, and their personal problems were enlarged accordingly. Ordinary people can find more meaningful ways to solve their problems. They can keep moving forward, meet new problems and find new solutions. "

I always feel sick. "Always feel sick" is really disgusting.

Suspicion is actually a heart disease.

Zhang Xiangzhi, deputy director of the Department of Psychology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that Kobayashi had negative emotional experiences such as fragile life, nervousness and fear, and paid too much attention to his health, which led to unreasonable suspicion that the most common cold symptom was leukemia. Mr. Li, who drives in an emergency and is too sensitive to normal physiological reactions such as rapid heartbeat, began to care about heart problems from time to time. If he feels a little sick, he is very nervous, which further aggravates the feeling of heart discomfort. From the perspective of clinical psychology, they have gradually developed into disease phobia.

"Suspicious patients have greater psychological pressure. Most of them think about their health because of the misfortune of the people around them, and associate each other's diseases with themselves. Some people have been sick before, and once they feel unwell, they suspect a relapse. Some people feel that they are under too much pressure and always feel that they will get some diseases. They are very sensitive to their occasional discomfort, and then they will be very worried and even unable to study or work normally. " Zhang Xiangzhi said that in recent two or three years, 10% of outpatients with phobia were young people under 40, showing an upward trend.
