I've been feeling terrible for 2-3 months now. Weakness, dizziness, I can not understand what is happening around me. I feel like a stranger. Often all sorts of sores, back, gastritis began to come out .. Wild nervousness, I constantly scream, I can’t calm down. Before all this, there was stress when I ran away from home. At 18 years old. My parents beat me badly, it was scary to stay there, because the older I got, the worse it got. They beat everyone that came to hand ... I won’t go into details .. I left when it was terribly stressful, up to hair loss, and they still fall out. It seems that after 2 months after I left it became easier ... nervousness went away .. But then another problem happened .. I started talking with my ex-girlfriend, and she dragged me into a not very good company. At that time, we lived together and rented an apartment (and I paid all the time, and she only for 1 month and lived for almost half a year for free. I constantly cursed with her because she didn’t find the right friends for herself, they are Armenians, Uzbeks and all sorts of things there .. .... I was almost raped several times .. Stress again ... Then I stopped communicating with her, those half a year that we lived together was just a nightmare. She pulled me to walk all the time, and I sat at home until I was 18. I walked very rarely. Well, at first I liked it .. it seemed like fun ... BUT everything only got worse .. I realized that my friend was sleeping with them .. with these Armenians., or rather, I even saw a couple of times ... Everything is very scary there .. Other people began to tell me terrible things about her, which I was convinced of, she smoked all sorts of rubbish, like hashish, plan, hydroponics and so on .. In general, I also suffered quite a lot there ... I stopped communicating with her .. with difficulty.. Thank God I remained a virgin. God forbid such a person as they are... it's scary . You don't wish it on your enemy.
My boss helped me. He is my dad's friend. Actually, I work in his office as a sales manager, hence the money, respectively. 3 years already..
It seems like all these terrible times have passed .. But now something is wrong with me again .. Weakness, headaches, dizziness, misunderstanding, I forget words when I work in the office, that is, I can’t tell a person about the product .. I’m scared .. Pills do not help .. I drank afobazole, phenazepam now I started drinking, and I drank grandaxin .. I don’t want to do anything, it seems that I’m tired .. but I don’t understand why ... suicidal thoughts often come .. I don’t have nerves I'm fine, for 2-3 months now I've just been yelling at everyone as if I'm not normal, I don't know why I then drink valerian in buckets .. I'm shaking like crazy ... what should I do?? I think to go to a psychologist, but I can’t decide who, if I don’t do anything, I feel that I will die soon. Parents do not support at all, when I left for the first half of the year we did not communicate, I did not call them because I was afraid, and they because of the principle. I was the first to reconcile .. now we communicate somehow .. they only ask me for money .. as before .. They don’t work themselves .. God, how difficult it is .. I don’t have enough space to describe everything here .... Tears on eyes roll...
What should I do????

Natalie, you are a strong girl, smart girl! Go to the temple, find a good confessor, it may not be possible to find such a person right away, but try, consult, tell what torments you, learn the spiritual laws of life and struggle, pray, participate in the sacraments. Pray in your own words, if you do not know prayers, buy a prayer book. For your courage, purity and patience, the Lord will not leave you. What thoughts ... Think about who inspires you? Obviously not a Guardian Angel. A young girl, independent, her whole life ahead, her husband, children, pleasant discoveries, kind, bright people, there will definitely be joy. And you, having gone through the trials, will be able to appreciate everything, you will be able to be grateful. Take care of yourself, conscious people like you are a value, do not dare to destroy yourself.

Natalia, age: 35 / 05/23/2014

Natalie, I completely agree with the previous message! Only it is better for you not to drink anything without a doctor's prescription. Please go to an appointment with a general practitioner and an endocrinologist. Possible disruption of the thyroid gland due to severe stress. I hope you now live separately from your "girlfriend", who simply arranged her affairs at your expense. You need to find an adult person to whom you can speak out, they are priests and psychologists. Come to the priest and say: I really need to talk, please listen to me. And tell him everything. Simply because you will either never see him again, or maybe he will become your spiritual support. You'll feel better.

Ekaterina, age: 05/28/2014

Natalie, I myself experienced a state similar to the one in which you are now. I remember how hard it was. It seemed like it would never go away, that I could no longer live like a normal person. I was tormented by internal doubts, fears, suicidal thoughts also came. It was hard not only to do something, but even to speak and think. The future was frightening, the present was frightening, and the past was tormented by bad memories.
But by the grace of God it all passed. It turned out that I had severe depression. To overcome it, I needed medical assistance, incl. medical. Now I live a full life.
I advise you:
1. Trust in God, ask for His help;
2. Do not self-medicate. Contact your doctor. Only not to the psychologist, and at least to the psychotherapist. It seems to me that the best option is a psychiatrist who works in a state hospital and conducts an appointment in a private center (you need to contact a private center). Know that depression will definitely go away if it is treated.
3. It would be very good if there was a person to whom you could tell everything and who would support you (relative, close friend, priest ...).

The article details the folk and medical methods of calming the nerves. Advice is given both for those who want to get rid of chronic stress, and for those who just want to fall asleep peacefully after a working day.

The nervous system is made up of billions of neurons that are connected to each other through a complex network of axons. The nervous system responds to both external and internal stimuli. When the action of psychosomatic stimuli becomes regular and intense, stress arises.

How to determine that the nerves are out of order

There are physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms of a nervous system disorder. Depending on the degree of manifestation and set of symptoms, the doctor will select the appropriate method of treatment.

Physical symptoms of a nervous breakdown:

• sleep disorders;
• irritable bowel syndrome;
• breathing problems;
• migraine headaches;
• low libido;
• Violation of the menstrual cycle;
• Chronic fatigue;
• Emotional symptoms of a nervous breakdown:
• Anxiety;
• Depression;
• Aggression;
• Tearfulness;
• Lack of interest in life, alienation from close friends and family;
• Cravings for alcohol, cigarettes, or drugs;
• paranoid thoughts;
• Thoughts of death;
• Mood swings.

How to calm the nervous system

At work

There are many work moments that lead to stress: missed deadlines, strained relationships with colleagues, the threat of dismissal, the fear of not being able to cope with the task. Naturally, you should not be nervous about every occasion.

It is quite difficult to calm down in a stressful situation, surrounded by colleagues and superiors. It is unlikely that employees will understand if you start listening to relaxing music or doing yoga asanas.

You can drink a cup of green or herbal tea. Green tea is a source of L-theanine, a chemical that helps calm the nerves.

Chocolate works the same way. Dark chocolate regulates the level of the stress hormone (cortisol) and stabilizes the metabolism.

You can also close your eyes and just imagine that everything is fine. It is enough just to cover your eyelids and abstract from what is happening.

This is an easy way to quickly restore calm and focus.

Before bedtime

A warm bath with aromatic oils will help you cope with stress after a hard day. You need to add four drops of mint essential oil, two drops of bergamot and a tablespoon of almond oil.

You must soak in the water for at least ten minutes for the essential oils to begin their positive action. After the bath, you can listen to soothing music and make some relaxing massage movements.

If you watch TV at night, then you should not get carried away with action movies and bright cartoons.

The child has

In order to calm the nerves of the baby, first of all, it is necessary to understand the cause of stress. For children under 5 years old, the mood of their parents is directly transmitted. Any hysteria can be neutralized by calm conversations of parents, frequent hugs and distraction of attention to bright toys and pictures.

Teenager

Parents of teens with nervous disorders can suggest several methods to help calm and relax (deep breathing, watching comedies, stretching exercises).

Pregnant woman

Feeling anxious is not uncommon during pregnancy, but stress should not rule a woman's life at such an important stage. First of all, it is worth remembering that under no circumstances should you immediately buy medicines.

Meditation is the perfect way to calm your nerves without medication. Meditation is not tied to any particular religion, nor does it require any special requisites, skills, or material investments.

All you really need is a quiet place where no one will bother you for 15 minutes. Morning is a great time to meditate. Just sit comfortably, close your eyes and focus on your breathing.

Techniques at home

Herbs

Herbs are an inexpensive and affordable way to deal with a nervous breakdown. You should not expect from medicinal herbs the same quick and tangible effect as from chemical preparations. But herbs have practically no side effects, and some of them are recommended even for children.

Name	Mechanism of action	Precautionary measures
Valerian root	It inhibits the breakdown of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) in the brain, and also has a sedative effect.	It has a "cumulative" effect. Must be taken for at least a month.
Peppermint	Stimulates the production of GABA in the brain, causes relaxation.	It has no side effects, but before giving mint tea to an infant, it is necessary to consult a pediatrician.
Lavender	Inhaling the aroma of natural lavender oil calms the central nervous system	Too intense and frequent inhalation can cause burns to the nasal mucosa.
Chamomile	Actively helps to eliminate nervous spasms, and also relieves muscle tension.	Recommended even for babies, has no side effects.
Poppy	It has strong sedative properties. Perfectly eliminates the strongest stress on the central nervous system.	Dangerous for children. In large doses, it is fatal.
Melissa	Calms the nerves and gives a sense of satisfaction.	Recommended for calming little children.

Pills

a. Powerful complex antidepressants

Chemical medications can instantly calm and restore nerves, as well as prevent the further development of stress. Most medications have very strong side effects and should only be taken after consulting your doctor.

Medicines are prescribed only in cases of severe stress caused by emotional upheavals.

Tricyclic antidepressants are among the most effective in dealing with stress. Tricyclics work by inhibiting serotonin and norepinephrine. They also partially inhibit dopamine.

In our pharmacies, tricyclic antidepressants are sold under the following brand names: Amitriptyline, Clomipramine, Desipramine, Doxepin. The course of treatment with tricyclic antidepressants usually takes about two weeks.

Drowsiness is a very common side effect, especially in the first few days after starting treatment.

Inhibitors MAOs (monoamine oxidase inhibitors) are the most powerful antidepressants in the range. MAO inhibitors have serious interactions with many foods, drinks, and drugs.

Combining MAO inhibitors with products containing tyramine can lead to high blood pressure, which can cause a stroke or heart attack. Because of this danger, MAOIs are not usually chosen as a treatment for primary depression.

b. Atypical antidepressants

There are also different types of new atypical antidepressants that target different mediators.

For example, Wellbutrin blocks reabsorption from the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine. On the other hand, Velaxin acts like norepinephrine and serotonin.

Side effects from taking atypical antidepressants may vary depending on the specific drug.

The most common side effects are nausea, fatigue, weight gain, drowsiness, nervousness, dry mouth, and blurred vision.

Other calming drugs for the nervous system:

Teas

• Rhodiola rosea root tea, also known as the golden root, helps regulate stress hormones and can boost your mood. Tea is taken to reduce anxiety, but as a pleasant effect after a month of taking the golden root, an increase in vitality and sexual desire is noted.
• Passion flower tea Great for chronic fatigue and chronic anxiety. Passion flower is widely used commercially for the production of the drug Oxazepam, which is used to treat nervous disorders. When taking the herb in its pure form, side effects such as drowsiness, headaches and dizziness are noted.

Essential oils

Severe depression is not treated with aromatherapy, but the smell of oils can easily relieve the symptoms of a nervous breakdown.

Products

1. Blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries contain natural antioxidants and vitamin C. Eating these berries will help prevent spikes in cortisol levels (a stress hormone produced by the adrenal glands).
2. Milk and other dairy products, such as cheese and yogurt contain a large amount of riboflavin, an element that affects the state of the central nervous system.
3. bitter chocolate It will also help reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol as well as norepinephrine.

It is also worth noting products that are contraindicated in a stressful state.

Alcohol will help relieve depression, but only for a few hours. As soon as the state of intoxication passes, anxiety and nervousness will return.

Sugar and sugary foods have no effect on stress hormone levels, but psychologically they can help calm you down.

vitamins

B vitamins (particularly B-12) play an important role in the production of hormones that affect mood and brain function. Low levels of B-12 and folic acid are directly linked to nervous breakdown.

color therapy

Psychologists and psychotherapists argued a lot about what color calms the nervous system, but finally everyone came to the same conclusion.

Cool colors really have a calming effect. Blue is the color of calm and serenity, while deep green has the ability to relax the body.

As far as music and films are concerned, classical melodies and old musical comedies, which have almost no dialogue, are best soothed.

Video: How to quickly get yourself in order

35 581 1 Hello dear readers of our site. Today we will share with you the secrets of how to calm your nerves and relieve stress, how to do it quickly when there is no time, or at home, when you need to calm down before a new working day.

The expressions “restless nerves”, “shattered nerves”, “nerves are naughty”, “nervous”, “nerves to hell” have long entered our everyday life and have become familiar. And all of them describe a state of excessive excitability, when it is difficult for a person to cope with his emotions, to react with restraint and adequately to the stimuli of the world around him.

Often an overexcited nervous state in everyday consciousness is already considered the norm, because stresses evolve along with progress, and today's person encounters them more often, and eliminates this problem less often. Thus, this condition becomes chronic, negative behavioral habits are formed: anger is taken out on relatives and colleagues, and emotional balance is compensated by caffeine, energy drinks, cigarettes and alcohol.

About the reasons: how are the nerves loosened?

When the thought comes of the need to intervene in the work of their nervous system, then the most responsible ones look for an experienced psychotherapist, the most practical resort to drug treatment, and the majority try to overcome the problem on their own and look for answers to the question “how to calm the nerves”? Where to start? First, find the reason that makes you lose emotional balance.

There are two unshakable conditions that underlie the coordinated work of the entire nervous system - dream and nutrition:

• Healthy sleep is the key to strong nerves

A deep 8-hour sleep has a restorative effect on all organs and systems that have worked hard during the day. Lack of sleep affects the capacity of the whole organism and the normal functioning of the nervous system.

• Nutrition: a menu for strong nerves

The foundation on which the proper functioning of nerve cells is built is essential trace elements and vitamins. All of them have a direct or indirect effect on its work: they reduce muscle tone, regulate the hormonal balance in the body, receive and transmit impulses through the nerves, improve the interaction of muscles and nerves, support stress resistance and performance, normalize sleep, produce anti-stress hormones, etc. . Therefore, the diet should be literate, including a variety of healthy foods: cereals, dairy, meat, seafood, fish, a variety of fruits, vegetables, berries, nuts, eggs. Then the body will be saturated with nutrients necessary for the nervous system: magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, iodine, iron, potassium, vitamins of groups A, B, C, E.

Causes of restless nerves

1. Having a persistent stressor(a specific cause or person that negatively affects the emotional state). Find and "defuse"!
2. negative thinking;
3. Weak nervous system. It is possessed by people who are more prone to nervous breakdowns due to their suspicious and anxious nature. They are more vulnerable, more sensitive and vulnerable;
4. Big city: abundance of noise, movement, accelerated pace of life. Not everyone likes this rhythm of life;
5. Work and media overload- they broadcast news from all over the world around the clock, plus the Internet, and now we are already overloaded;

The return of internal balance is a step-by-step and long-term process. How to calm the nerves so that the result is persistent and long-lasting?

Remedies for restless nerves, first of all, they imply advice on changing the nature of interaction with the world:

1. No pedantry and ideals. Lower the bar of ideality and correctness, because in life everything cannot be laid out on the shelves, according to colors and shapes, strictly according to the rules and principles.
2. Time management is in my head. Learn to manage time, do everything in time and not rush anywhere! Plan a day, highlight the most important things and events, do not waste your time on vanity and trifles.
3. positive thinking Don't let negative thoughts dominate your mood after watching the news.
4. Increase stress resistance- the first three tips will help with this.

There are home remedies for calming the nerves that are readily available and do not require special training.

How to calm nerves at home?

Body methods:

The body instantly responds to stress by producing adrenaline, cortisol (stress hormone), increasing the heart rate and increasing muscle tone. This is how the body communicates that it is ready to actively cope with stress. That is why, when nervous, a person feels tension and heavy breathing throughout the body. The most common mistake is to deal with stress by lying down and doing nothing. You need to give the body the opportunity to throw out the heat or help it relax.

Top tips for calming your nerves:

• Physical exercise (sports, dancing, cleaning)

It is only important to choose an activity to your liking and according to your abilities: running, cycling, dancing, walking in the park or cleaning the house, etc.

• Water procedures (warm shower, sea salt bath)

Water acts simultaneously on all external receptors of the body, thereby providing the maximum result. You can enhance the effect by adding sea salt, soothing herbal decoctions, essential oils: lavender, pine, mint, or your favorite scent to the bath.

• aromatherapy

For this, aroma sticks, aroma lamps with warm "home" smells are suitable. Girls can, combining business with pleasure, add essential oils to cosmetics for body care.

• Relaxation

Relaxing to pleasant music with the concentration of your sensations on different parts of the body will help calm your nerves and relieve stress. The purpose of such relaxation is to feel your body, consciously tighten and relax its muscles one by one, ultimately relieving them of increased tone.

• Self massage

The skin has many receptors and nerve endings, due to which it will gladly respond with relaxation to a massage. In the absence of such an opportunity, you can independently walk on the scalp with massage movements from the forehead to the back of the head, stretch your hands and feet.

• Walking with bare feet

Nerve endings are concentrated on human feet, with the right influence on which, it is possible to positively regulate the work of organs and systems.

Psychological techniques:

• Methods from the "personal piggy bank" (music, books, movies, favorite hobby, viewing photo albums, postcards, activities that bring pleasure).

Music does not have to be classical, it is enough that it is light, pleasant (instrumental, or the sounds of nature) and the listener likes it. Books, or films - from the category of kind and beloved.

Here the choice is great: baking a cake helps some, writing a poem helps others.

• Self account

The monotonous repetition of numbers, concentration on the score not only distracts from the problem, but, like a lullaby, lulls irritation. It is worth counting up to a hundred, and with strong anger - longer.

• Art therapy

Now in the public domain painting for adults in the direction of art therapy, where there are many abstract works, many small elements, lines. This variety will be enough for a long distraction and "outlining" your emotions.

• shopping

A favorite liquidator of the consequences of stress in girls, which works effectively. But for men too - buying a set of necessary tools (which I have long dreamed of) can please like a child candy.

How to calm the nerves in 1 minute, or "ambulance" for the excited nerves?

Everyone wondered how to quickly calm the nerves? There are many situations in which it is very important not to lose sobriety of mind, balance and fortitude. Therefore, the methods of "first aid" sometimes save situations and even lives (when a state of nervous overstrain can reach an affect in which a person has absolutely no control over his actions):

1. Visualization

Replacing the real picture of the world with the desired image. Perhaps someone likes an imaginary spring on the street, and someone likes a house by the sea. The main thing is to imagine everything brightly, in detail, with sounds, smells, so that the imagination temporarily moves the body itself there and distracts from negative experiences.

1. Hand massage

Moderately and slowly press in turn on the nail phalanges of one hand, then the other. The method is excellent when circumstances do not want to attract attention (for example, when waiting in the audience for their turn to speak with their report).

If space and time allow, 10-20 times of any power load: push-ups, squats, pull-ups.

1. Wash away irritability

It is effective to wash your face with cool water, refresh your shoulders and neck with it, as if washing away the negative charge of nervousness. You can calm yourself down by slowly drinking a glass of water lightly sweetened with sugar or honey.

1. vent anger

Book advice on beating dishes is quite costly and time consuming to clean. Alternatively, you can tear paper (newspapers, for example) or shout into cardboard rolled up in a tube (this way the sound will be more isolated and not so loud).

With a variety of techniques on how to quickly calm the nerves, perhaps, breathing exercises remain classic and fast-acting.

Breathing exercises to calm the nerves

The respiratory rate is directly related to the work of our heart, which, in turn, reacts by speeding up in situations of stress. Below are a few indicative psychological exercises for regulating breathing:

1. Soothing Geometry

Taking a deep breath, exhale slowly into a circle drawn by the imagination. Repeat three times. Then repeat, only changing the shape (for example, to a rectangle). Also repeat three times. Change shapes until you feel relaxation.

1. Repression of irritability

Having imagined a powerful press inside the chest, take a short rhythmic breath. Exhale slowly, with an onslaught, as if the press is pushing all negative emotions lower and lower until they are pushed into the ground.

1. It's time to yawn

Close your eyes, open your mouth wide and inhale. Stretching your whole body as much as possible, exhale slowly while yawning, pronouncing the lingering sound "oooo". By adding a smile, you can achieve high efficiency, since at the same time the facial muscles relax as much as possible, and a positive emotional response arises. Exercise helps to quickly enrich the blood with oxygen.

How to calm your nerves and get rid of stress tips from your personal life. Tips that are not in the article!

Since the beginning of the 21st century, doctors have been trumpeting a new threat to a person born and living in a metropolis. Poor environmental conditions, car emissions, a sedentary lifestyle and constant nervous stress that accompany a person everywhere and always: at home, on the street, at work, have made life unbearable. Here the modern urban man cannot stand it.

The cardiovascular and nervous systems of a person are the first to be hit by a metropolis. The quality and meaning of life depends on their working condition. Without them, a person is either a vegetable, or a monster, or a dandelion.

Negative factors influencing disorders of the nervous system.

They say stress is the biggest killer of the 21st century. Stress erodes our cardiovascular and nervous systems, sending people to their grave prematurely. The damage from stress is subtle at first, but over time, this damage accumulates, so you may find out about the problem of disorders in the nervous system too late. The fact is that nature has prepared a certain level of protection for each person, and if you experience the influence of negative factors every day, then sooner or later you will feel nervous anxiety.

It all starts with a certain devastation, drowsiness, absent-mindedness, these factors already indicate that you have primary signs of nervous anxiety and pathological disorders of the nervous system.

Of course, we begin to deal with frayed nerves on our own with the help of various stimulants, such as tea, coffee or energy drinks. However, not everyone knows that in this way he will start his nervous system, and that, in turn, will deplete its resources, as a result, we will find ourselves in a situation worse than before.

Some become so addicted to stimulants that they think they can't live without them. When the understanding comes that we are doing that the nervous system is completely destroyed, we have to take expensive medications, which, when self-medicated, can only cause harm.

When the nerves are out of order - symptoms of an unhealthy nervous system.

What are the characteristic symptoms of nervous changes and disorders that confirm that our nervous system is unhealthy, or at least needs to be diagnosed? Usually, these symptoms of nervous system disorders seem insignificant to us, and each individually may really mean nothing.

1. Hypertrophied anxiety. If you are constantly bothered by little things, for example, did you forget to turn off the iron, TV, is the door closed. Then you are advised to consult a specialist.

2. Indifference and apathy. An equally telling symptom is indifference. Usually such people cease to be disturbed by everything around, especially what used to delight them.

3. Capriciousness and suspiciousness. If you do not have a dream, there is no desire to fulfill yourself, and all you do is constant whims and complaints, then you need to think about your health.

4. Doubt and envy. Also, people whose psyche suffers are very often gnawed by doubts and outbursts of black envy, and even if all this comes to the point of absurdity, others can simply remain silent.

If you want to feel like in the Garden of Eden, choose your favorite things, food, flowers, decorations, and even more so if you already feel like in such a paradise, then your nervous system, rather, has nothing to do with it, and it’s too late to treat it. Is it really bad in that paradise, is it really bad not to deny yourself anything.

What of clothes and jewelry. Yes, anything, according to the proposed theme of the party, as long as it looks stylish.

It has long been proven that with the help of breathing exercises, you can significantly improve not only the emotional background, but also the overall well-being of the body. Please note that a person's respiratory rhythms are fundamentally dependent on how he feels on a psychological level, and as soon as a stressful or tense situation arises, people begin to breathe at a different pace. You can calm the nerves by controlling the respiratory processes, for which there are several special techniques developed by specialists. If stress occurred suddenly, then with the help of a single application of the breathing exercises technique, you can significantly calm your nerves. But for a complete restoration of the nervous system, you will have to repeat the exercises with a certain regularity. Here are some of them:

Deep breaths. It is necessary to keep your back straight, straighten your shoulders, and inhale the air as deeply as possible, slowly, and then exhale completely, releasing the lungs gradually. It is necessary to strive to ensure that the exhalation exceeds the inhalation in its duration. After exhaling completely, hold your breath a little, and repeat the exercise again.

Breathing according to the method of yoga. Here the nervous system must calm down precisely at the moment of exhalation, on which it is necessary to focus all your attention. If inhaling increases the tone in the body, then exhaling relaxes, helps to feel calm, peaceful. You can familiarize yourself with this technique in detail in yoga classes, and simply by studying the rules for its implementation on the Internet.

Beginners in the field of breathing exercises should be extremely careful with the exercises. Do not delay the execution, and if out of habit there is a feeling of weakness, dizziness, feeling unwell, you should immediately stop breathing exercises.

2. Learn mentality.

In order to calm the nerves, it is not enough just to do the exercises, you must be able to set yourself up in the right way. If you do breathing exercises or take a bath with the thought that life is going downhill and nothing can be done, then there will be no sense in it. You need to learn how to manage your subconscious mind by setting yourself a positive direction of thinking. Being in this mood, you can learn to control your own nervous system. For example, if you feel a strong tension or emotional outburst, resort to the following settings: "Everything that is not done, everything is for the better",“The problem is solvable, there are no hopeless situations”, “I have close people who will always help me”, “I am strong, and I can cope with the task, everyone succeeds, so it will work for me”, etc.

In order to relieve stress and calm your nerves, you need to choose for yourself the setting that will cheer and help as much as possible, and then regularly remind yourself of it, repeating to yourself. It is also important to realize the situation itself, which caused nervous tension, and to understand why the circumstances turned out the way they did. When the brain randomly thinks about a problem: "Everything is bad", he simply cannot concentrate on understanding what exactly the cause is, and from which side the solution to the problem should be sought. And given a clear setting: “Now I’m stressed because yesterday I didn’t have time to complete the work plan”, for example, options for solving the problem will immediately form: you need to come to work earlier tomorrow, or take part of the work home, and so on.

When a person knows what he should do, the mind calms down and nervous tension disappears.

3. Water procedures.

No wonder they say that when nerves fail, it is necessary to turn to water procedures. It can be a simple shower at home, a bath with aromatic oils, or a visit to the spa. At the subconscious level, a person associates water procedures with getting rid of unnecessary thoughts, cleansing not only the body, but also the mind. Therefore, in order to put the nerves in order, experts recommend spending some time in a warm shower before going to bed. A contrast shower, as well as dousing, although beneficial to health, but the nerves do not calm, but only excite, so you should choose a comfortable water temperature.

In order to stimulate the soothing effect of the shower, you can listen to your favorite songs while bathing, create pleasant lighting and light an aroma lamp with your favorite soothing oil. After the end of the procedure, go to bed, having previously dressed in things made of soft, natural material that are pleasant to the skin.

4. Comfortable environment as a way to put your nerves in order.

Man is a creature that is very dependent on the environment, so try to organize maximum comfort for yourself. A good, healthy sleep helps to relieve stress and calm the nerves at home. And in order to fall asleep with pleasure, you need to organize a comfortable sleeping place for yourself: make the bed with fresh, fragrant bed linen, choose a comfortable mattress, clean the room. A clean, comfortable environment will help you fall asleep faster, as well as recover as much as possible during your rest.

5. Make time for yourself.

Modern women are forced for the most part to solve many problems at once, and family, and household, and workers. But still, you need to find some time to let go of all thoughts about them, free your mind and thoughts, and take care of yourself. We are not talking about trips to beauty salons or shopping centers, for many it has already become an integral part of life, and does not play the effect of relaxation. Although, if this technique helps you, then you can do shopping therapy. Or just forget about all the problems, think about something pleasant, relax, and get rid of the constant hassle at least for a while.

Constant stress on the nervous system leads to negative consequences. If you have been in a busy mode for a long time, it is better to take a vacation and go on vacation abroad, or at least to one of the sanatoriums in our country.

6. Massage.

It’s great, of course, to take a course of massage during sessions, letting go of all problems and worries, but if this is not possible, you can resolve the issue yourself. You have probably noticed that a person who begins to get nervous, without noticing it, runs his hand over his head. So, this is justified by the fact that it is the skin of the head and face that is very rich in nerve endings, and even elementary stroking of the hair already helps to calm down a little. Try to massage the scalp on your own, imitating a comb with your fingers and moving like this from the forehead to the back of the head. Using massage movements, rub the temporal region, forehead and cheeks.

So take it as a medicine in this case, which must be taken to cure the nerves. It's not about eating a bucket of ice cream or a huge piece of chocolate cake. It is quite possible to replace such high-calorie foods with prunes, dried apricots, honey or dark chocolate in a small amount. Of course, stress is not a reason to overeat, because in the future there will be another source of tension, such as extra pounds. Everything is good in moderation.

If you can’t complete a task at work, take a break by choosing the task that requires movement.

If we talk about regular, rather than one-time calming of nerves through physical activity, you can choose for yourself a visit to the pool, a fitness center, go dancing, simply do exercises or stretch at home - which suits you best.

But to rearrange some furniture, interior items, just clean up the wardrobe or sort out the desktop - this is what you need.

Therefore, it will help improve your emotional state, calm your nerves at home, and improve your own thought process.

It is not for nothing that such a thing as coloring for adults is gaining more and more popularity. "Anti stress".

Some people like to take a bath with oil, someone likes to rub it on the skin or use it in the massage process. You can just light an aromatic lamp and sit on the couch with your favorite book. The main thing is not to overdo it with the amount of oil, since too saturated air or the ingestion of a large dose of oils into the body has an exciting effect on the nervous system.

12. The right way of life.

In order to calm the nerves at home, it is enough to reconsider your attitude to sleep and nutrition. In order for the nervous system to be strong and less exposed to external stimuli, it is necessary to get enough sleep and eat right. If, after all, the nerves have suffered, then we must take our lifestyle even more seriously: exclude nighttime TV viewing until three in the morning, spicy, fatty foods. Analyze how many hours your body needs to get up in the morning was not difficult and almost painful, and go to bed at the appropriate time. It may be difficult at first to get used to falling asleep early, but over time it will become a habit, and you will feel how much calmer you have become regarding problems.

When a person has a great responsibility, he feels constant tension, so he just needs a good rest. Otherwise, even a small problem can actually piss you off at the moment when the limit of resistance to stress comes. An elementary traffic jam or cold coffee pours into a real tantrum.

Often, overcoming nervous breakdowns, people then suffer from maximalism. If they start drawing, they try to do it perfectly when it comes to sports, but they torment themselves in the gym for several hours, and so on. Then there will be no effect from such calming, but only a new reason for stress will appear: the drawing is not beautiful enough, and yesterday's run is too short.

The key to calming your nerves in these ways is to be calm. All actions must be performed measuredly, for the benefit of the body and emotional state, and without exposing it to new tests.
