Dreams are one of the last phenomena not fully studied by our civilization. We've spent millennia trying to understand why our minds create such strange images in our dreams. On this moment Science seems to be on the verge of understanding what happens when we dream, why we dream, and what it all ultimately means. As it turns out, there are truly strange connections between reality and surreal pictures of the dream world.
10. Loneliness makes dreams more frequent
Each of us dreams, but not in the same way. This fact was discovered by Patrick McNamara in 2001 when he was studying the idea that social relationships influence dreams. His team surveyed 300 university students who were rated according to their attachment status - how comfortable they felt in intimate relationships and how often they tried to avoid relationships. According to their attachment, they were divided into two groups - “self-confident” and “unconfident”.
McNamara found that unconfident students dreamed almost every day, and they remembered their dreams in greater detail than confident students. Interestingly, the dreams of the insecure group were also more painful and intense.
Because of temporal lobe(part of the cerebral cortex) is important for both the development of attachment and the phase REM sleep, increasing the frequency and intensity of dreams may serve to “fill the void” for people not in a relationship. In any case, you are provided with night activity.
9. Video games cause lucid dreaming
Lucid dreams are dreams during which a person realizes that he is in a dream. When a person realizes this, he can control what happens in a dream - he can fly, have sex, have sex while flying - anything can be done in a dream. Unsurprisingly, this is what many people want to achieve at night. Many books have been written on this topic, the authors of which claim that they can teach anyone how to induce lucid dreams. As it turned out, everything is simpler - all you need to do is play video games.
Jayne Gackenbach from Grant MacEwan University believes that the feeling of control environment and spatial orientations that a person experiences while playing are related to how a person perceives the dream. This makes it easier for gamers (compared to non-gamers) to take control of their sleep patterns.
She also found that gamers had far fewer nightmares - when they were threatened by something in their dreams, they attacked the threat and, instead of running away, turned the encounter into a competition.
8. Animals remember their dreams
The oldest question about why we sleep has finally been answered thanks to rats. Matthew Wilson of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that when rats were trained to run in circles, their brain activity followed a strict pattern. Wilson later examined the brains of rats while they slept and found that half of the rats repeated the same brain activity during REM sleep - the rats ran in circles in their dreams.
The two images of brain activity were so close that the researchers were able to compare them and confirm that the rats were running in circles during their sleep. This indicates that the rats' brains remembered information by replaying actions. It should be noted that the actions were scrolling through their heads at the same speed as in reality. Wilson believes that one of the main purposes of dreams is to consolidate memories. For the same reason, people are better at remembering something they learn right before they go to bed.
Perhaps for the same reason the following happens...
7. The dreams of people with amnesia are very strange.
If dreams help memory, then what happens to people with amnesia? Answer: a person has no idea what he is dreaming, but he still dreams about something. There are several various types Memory: Amnesics typically cannot remember new declarative or episodic memories—facts or temporary information (such as when and where the person learned the fact). However, when amnesiacs were asked to play Tetris, they dreamed about it - despite the fact that they had no memory of the game by the time they went to bed.
The moment amnesiacs fell asleep, they were awakened and questioned about what they had seen. Three out of five said they saw “falling, turning blocks” but did not understand the context of their memory. Considering that one of the main purposes of dreams is to preserve memories, amnesiacs must constantly see such strange images. Even in the strangest dreams healthy people may notice several familiar objects, but for those suffering from amnesia, it seems that dreams appear out of nowhere.
6. Strange dreams are sorting
Research on amnesia sufferers and Tetris prompted Dr. Robert Stickgold, the study's author, to come up with another hypothesis about dreams: why they are so strange. He learned that people with amnesia remember events, and although they cannot consciously remember them, the brain still replays the experienced events during sleep.
According to his theory, weird dreams (like when you were in a restaurant with your fifth-grade gym teacher and sat on jelly chairs and your dog was the waiter) are caused by the brain trying to make some connections between different stimuli. The brain finds the memory "file" associated with your dog and compares it with what you know about the exerciser to see if they are worth keeping together. Dr. Stickgold says your brain is “looking for cross-references – does this relate to this. Sometimes it’s connected and sometimes it’s not.”
Another study found that the degree of dream strangeness increased with increasing activity of the right amygdala- an area of the brain associated with the formation of memories. This supports the idea that the stranger the dream, the harder the brain tries to find a connection.
5. Dreams can predict the future
As a disclaimer, we will look at both sides of this statement.
In the 1960s in medical center Maimonides Medical Center, located in New York, has conducted several paranormal studies. One study tested the ability to see the future. The subjects were divided into two groups: participants in the first group were awake and concentrated on a specific image. The second group was sleeping at that time. The researchers then woke up members of the second group during REM sleep and asked them to describe their dream. Strangely, most people in the second group described the images that were “sent” to them.
Another example also comes from the 60s - after heavy rain, a rock dump collapsed, resulting in several thousand cubic meters of rock and mud covering a school in the village of Aberfan, Wales. More than a hundred people died as a result of the tragedy. Psychiatrist John Barker went to Aberfan and asked local residents if they had dreamed of something like this before it happened. More than 30 residents claimed that they foresaw a disaster in their dreams. There are many similar studies, some of which are even published in peer-reviewed medical journals. How could so many people see tragedies in their dreams before they happened? It is believed that even Abraham Lincoln dreamed of his assassination.
On the other hand, there may be a simple explanation for this: Law large numbers. Richard Wiseman describes it perfectly:
“First, let's pick a random person from the UK, let's call him Brian. Next, let's assume a few facts about Brian. Let's say Brian dreams about something every night from the age of 15 until he is 75. There are 365 days in each year, so during those 60 years of dreaming, Brian will have 21,900 dreams. Let's also assume that a tragedy like Aberfan only happens once in a generation and assign a date to it. Now, let's assume that Brian will only remember one dream about such a tragedy in his entire life. The odds of Brian having a tragic dream the night before something like this happens are 22,000 to one. However, there is a catch. In the 1960s, there were 45 million people living in Britain, meaning that one in 22,000 people, or about 2,000 people on that night, could be expected to have a dream related to a tragedy. This principle is known as the Law of Large Numbers and is that when large quantities repetitions (possibilities), even unlikely events can occur.”
In other words, when many factors come together, there is a chance that something not expected will happen. This is one of those hypotheses that is difficult to prove, but perhaps someday in the future we will receive irrefutable evidence that predictions about the future can be found in dreams. Who knows?
4. You dream more often than you think
Contrary to popular belief, we don't only dream during REM sleep - we dream about something during all five stages of sleep, but REM dreams are the most vivid. So, even though REM sleep occurs every 90 minutes, we can have more than a dozen dreams per night.
Why don't we remember them? Those dreams are just boring. People are more likely to remember dreams if they are strange or unusual in some way. Other dreams often consist of realistic activities, such as ironing clothes or checking the mailbox. Our brains, like the rat brains in point 8, spend a lot of time repeating previous actions in order to store them in memory and extract something useful from them.
However, crazy dreams - especially those during which you wake up - are no worse remembered than if you saw something truly strange in life, for example, a naked man running down the street. You don't remember hundreds of other people you pass on the street, but a nudist is memorable because of his shocking weirdness.
3. Dreams can be changed with the help of smells
It is well known that external stimuli such as light, smell or the sound of an alarm clock can intrude into a dream, but certain factors can actually completely change the quality of the dream and turn pleasant dream into a nightmare or vice versa. Smells, for example, greatly influence what a person dreams.
During the study, scientists let participants fall asleep, after which they introduced various smells into their noses through a tube - smell rotten eggs, roses or nothing (as a control group). Study participants were then woken up and asked what they were dreaming about. Participants who were exposed to the smell of rotten eggs reported that the emotional background of their dreams was greatly impaired, even if the dream had nothing to do with the smell. For example, one of the participants said that he dreamed of a Chinese woman who suddenly began to feel strong disgust towards him - the theme of the dream changed almost immediately.
2. Nightmares can affect your mood
Excited? Are you suffering from depression? You may be having nightmares. By at least, this conclusion was reached after a study in which 147 students were asked to fill out a questionnaire every morning for two weeks to measure the frequency of their nightmares. At the end of two weeks, students took the EPQ-RS and POMS-BI - tests that assess a person's psychological state.
Researchers have found a strong connection between the number of nightmares a person has and their psychological state while awake. The more nightmares you had, the worse they got. psychological tests. Naturally, the problem with this research is that Feedback It's even more likely that people who suffer from depression for other reasons are more likely to have nightmares. In truth, in any case, it turns out that nightmares can cross the boundaries of sleep and wakefulness. Creepy.
1. Dreams are a dose of schizophrenia
While we're talking about creepy things, dreams are believed to be very similar to the state of delirium experienced by schizophrenics, right down to the areas of the brain that become activated. In other words, the schizophrenic’s brain simply forgets to turn off the sleep state during the day. From another perspective, this means that every night we dream, we are actually entering a state of schizophrenia - nightly madness.
Fantastic (illusory) dreams can be caused by weak connections in the brain - the brain tries to extract something specific, but in response it receives a mash of incoherent memories, which give rise to a strange dream. They happen to everyone. However, in the case of schizophrenia or similar diseases, weak connections can be activated at any time, due to which patients, even in a waking state, experience the same sensations as healthy people during illusory dreams.
Basically, don't go to bed.
The work of our subconscious
Our consciousness, which we sometimes consider our “I,” is only a small part of the work of the brain as a whole. Awareness of oneself as a person is only a small part of the brain’s work; most other processes occurring in the head are processed without the involvement of consciousness. These are not only automated reactions such as breathing, controlling the heart, and muscles when walking, but also more complex ones: pattern recognition, the formation of a three-dimensional surrounding reality. The brain, in fact, at a preliminary level chooses what to show to consciousness and what to omit. Some actions are performed so automatically that the consciousness is not notified of the work being performed.
Quite by accident, I recently found out that I have published new books: “Conscious exits from the body. Experience of traveling to other worlds" and "Controlled dreams. Controlled reality." They came out from a certain publishing house IPL in 2016. It turns out that this also happens, the author himself does not know that he has new books coming out.
They renamed the book in their own way and released it as a new product from the author. I have no idea what kind of publishing house this is, but after reading the reviews of the books, we can conclude: this is my first and second book published by the Ves publishing house under the titles: “Wanderer of Dreams. Part 1. The beginning of the journey" and "Wanderer of dreams. Part 2. New Millennium.”
Essentially these are the same books. If you have previously read the Dream Traveler series, then there is no point in buying new books.
Why do you dream about rats?
Interpretation of a dream in which a rat dreamed. Looking ahead, I’ll summarize the article - I’ll boldly say that a dream about a rat is bad. Depending on the variations in the dream, you can determine where the danger is coming from or what to expect in the near future, but in general the dream does not bode well. The only hopeful dream option is if the plot ends with the rat being killed or caught.So, to find out from which side to expect a rat bite, analyze your dream.
Let's sort it out how a thought can have power. How thoughts can generally interact with the universe, cause events not related to our direct actions. What laws of the universe allow us to fulfill our mental desires. How can our brain have the gift of seeing at a distance or sensing events happening somewhere far away that we have no idea about.
Let's assume that our body, and our brain in particular, is a machine. Complex, to some extent incomprehensible, but still a device that perceives and transmits signals to the outside. Let's make another assumption that we are somewhat similar to a modern computer. Lately More and more our brain is being compared to electronic devices, so we will not deviate from this tradition. Thus, our thoughts are a kind of program, with cycles and functions that perform certain tasks. Some thoughts are initial data, but some have power - these are programs built according to the laws of the universe.
Over the past month I have encountered several people trying to change their past. Then someone talked about memories of a non-existent past.
Most people believe that changing the past is impossible, and No accurate description how to change the past. But, one way or another, I come across mysterious stories that cannot be confirmed or refuted. Any change in the past leads to everyone around remembering new story. Thus, we cannot confidently say that such a story is not the author’s invention. Only some individuals retain memories of an alternate present. Sometimes it’s not even a memory, but just a feeling of wrongness current moment; sometimes there are flashes of déjà vu, or false memories in the head of some moments that never actually happened, but for some reason are stored in the memory as memories.
When you are in a dream, it is difficult to understand that what is happening is illusory, the world created by the imagination looks so real. However, if you take a closer look, the signs of fantasy reveal a dream. To understand how to distinguish a dream from reality, you need to use numerous recommendations from experts. Over time, invented and real worlds will stop confusing you.
The first thing that allows us to distinguish the fictional world from the real one is self-awareness. If a person realizes that he is dreaming, he can modify his own dreams. Recognizing a dream is not easy. As soon as you are overwhelmed by the feeling of the illusory nature of what is happening, ask yourself the question: are you dreaming? Remember what happened a few minutes, seconds ago. During dreams, there are no memories; a person is only in the present.
Don't try to pinch yourself. On an intuitive level, you remember the feelings associated with it. The brain will send signals that can deceive the senses of touch, smell, etc. Therefore, trying to take off will not help you understand your dreams. The person knows that this is impossible in the real world. The subconscious will not allow flying in a dream.
The problem with lucid dreaming is a decrease in concentration. The senses that allow us to analyze the situation become dull. A person does not think about whether he is sleeping or not, even if he dreams of something impossible. Therefore, it is difficult to carry out dream tests.
The method of unique beacons is popular. Think in advance about which objects should evoke a clear association with sleep. It could be a thing, a color or a person. As soon as you see this, your brain will send a signal to analyze what is happening. Then try to use one of the ways to understand the real and fictional world.
How to distinguish a dream from reality
Numerous experiments with dreams have discovered general laws that operate while the body is resting. Night fantasies cannot go beyond certain physical laws. Remember them if you want to understand how to distinguish a dream from reality:
- Perform a breath test by pinching your nose and closing your mouth. If there are no problems and air enters the lungs, you are sleeping;
- find a mirror and look at the reflection. In reality, it remains clear, without changing. In a dream, the reflection is blurred, blurred, and constantly deformed;
- remember how you remember the place you are in. In a dream, furnishings and the arrangement of rooms will differ from the present;
- pay attention to your hands. In the illusory world, they will float like an image in a mirror, or pass through each other. You won't be able to count your fingers either;
- An easy way is to look at the nose while closing one eye. In reality this is simple, but in a dream it is impossible;
- find the clock, look at the hands. They will behave incorrectly - they will either start spinning wildly or stop;
- It will not be possible to read one inscription more than once. The next time you try to look at it, the letters will change, the meaning of the phrase or word will be distorted.
Reality Check Practice
The practice of checking in the real world will help to separate fiction and reality. Start working by being awake. For example, from checking inscriptions. Read any phrases or words that come your way. Do this several times in a row, bringing the habit to automaticity. If you see an inscription in a dream, you will read it a couple of times without thinking. When you realize that the letters have changed, you will think about the unreality of what is happening.
Another way to train is to try to take off. Stand on the floor and jump, setting yourself up for the possibility of flight. The more often you carry out such tests, the greater your chances of taking off in your dreams.
Determine what reality you are in using several tests simultaneously. Combine reading the inscriptions with viewing a mirror image, trying to remember the previous scene. It will be impossible to distinguish fiction from reality the first time. Frequent and regular training is required. Also in a dream, pay attention to the following points:
- distant objects cannot be seen, they begin to elude the eye;
- try to run fast. In dreams, two scenarios are possible. Either you will not budge, or you will instantly move to any, even distant, point;
- in a dream it is easy to walk through walls, breathe under water, look at the bright daytime sun without pain in the eyes;
- flip the light switch. Most likely it won't work.
Although other people are most often present in dreams, the dreamer notes the asymmetry of their faces.
Lucid dreaming, scientific research
Scientists have been developing a method for lucid dreaming for several centuries. People have tried to control the imagination since the 18th century. Then the Italian Luigi Galvani conducted an experiment that discovered “animal electricity” to the world. The scientist found that the body of a living creature produces electricity, and its source is nerve endings.
In the 19th century, the development of technology allowed us to take a step forward. Scientists were able to measure electrical activity neurons anywhere nervous system. Already in the 50s of the 20th century, developments were used in the discovery of sleep phases. After this, attempts to find out what controls dreams were made repeatedly.
The real breakthrough in lucid dreaming occurred only in the mid-70s. English university scientist Ket Hearn conducted an experiment in which he studied pre-planned eye movements while in a state of sleep. Subsequently, the experiment was repeated by another English experimenter.
Trying to understand the origin of lucid dreams, researchers have repeatedly conducted various experiments involving sleeping people. In Frankfurt, experiments demonstrated that the states of wakefulness and sleep are recorded in the range of 40 Hz in frontal lobes brain At this time, the subject was in a borderline state between wakefulness and sleep. During moments of lucid vision, areas of the brain responsible for consciousness show greater activity.
Parapsychologists were interested in the practice of lucid dreams. Several authors have published books describing their own experiences with controlled visions. The works of Celia Green, Anne Faraday, Patricia Garfield and even Carlos Castaneda had a great influence.
The American mystic claimed to have presented in his books an account of the field of mysticism and occultism. He published his work on lucid dreaming in 1993. It describes in detail the practices that should be performed in sleep. Castaneda considers his method a way to go beyond the perception of familiar reality in order to understand how the true world works. In this, his opinion differs from the opinions of parapsychologists who consider lucid dreaming as a closed area of mental activity.
The practice of lucid dreaming has much to do with countless attempts by scientists to combine the conscious and subconscious. Many researchers are making ambitious plans according to which a person will sooner or later be able to live simultaneously in two worlds - fictional and real. Conscious visions are the first step towards realizing this vision.
In one of the earliest experiments our research group conducted, we tested the traditional idea that the perception of time in dreams is different from the perception of time in reality. According to the technique we developed, we asked subjects during lucid dream make a movement with your eyes, then after a 10-second pause (counting: one thousand one, one thousand two, etc.) make a second movement with your eyes. We found that in all cases the estimate of the time interval in the lucid dream coincided within a few seconds with its estimate in the waking state and was thus quite close to the real time between signals. From this it was concluded that the estimate of time in lucid dreams is very close to real ones, that is, it takes almost the same amount of time to perform any action in them as in the waking state.
This conclusion may come as a surprise, since many of you may have lived years and even lifetimes in a dream. I believe that this effect is achieved in dreams by the same stage trick that creates the illusion of the passage of time in the cinema or theater. If the lights go out on a screen, on a stage, or in a dream, and the clock strikes midnight, and a few moments later the bright morning sun shines through the window and the alarm clock rings, we assume (we pretend without realizing that we are pretending) that many hours have passed, even if "we know" that it only took a few seconds.
The method of using the eyes to signal a person in a state of lucid dreaming has demonstrated a strict correspondence between the change in direction of gaze during sleep and the actual movement of the eyes under closed eyelids. Researchers who did not use lucid dreamers in their experiments had to rely on the likelihood of a correspondence between the subjects' eye movements and their reported sleep actions. As a result, they tended to obtain only weak correlations between eye movements during sleep and during waking hours. The reason for the strong connection between eye movements in sleep and in the waking state is that we use the same visual system our body. One of the most bright examples The connection between physiology and sleep activities is sexual activity during sleep. In 1983, we undertook a study to determine the extent to which sexual activity during lucid REM dreaming was reflected in physiological parameters.
A woman was chosen for the experiment because women were more likely to report orgasm in their dreams. She observed various physiological indicators that are usually affected by sexual arousal: breathing, heart rate, vaginal muscle tone and amplitude of vaginal pulsations. In the experiment, she was required to give a special signal with her eyes in the following situations: when she realized that she was sleeping, when sexual activity began (in her sleep), and when she had an orgasm.
According to her, she fulfilled the conditions of the task exactly. Analysis of the recordings revealed a significant correlation between what she did in the dream and all but one physiological indicator. During the 15 seconds that she defined as orgasm, her vaginal muscle activity, vaginal pulsation amplitude, and respiratory rate reached their highest levels of the entire night, and were significantly higher than during the rest of the REM period. The heart rate, contrary to expectations, increased very slightly.
After this, we conducted similar experiments with two men. In both cases there was a sharp increase in breathing, but again no significant changes heart rate. It is noteworthy that although both dreamers reported pronounced orgasms in their lucid dreams, neither of them ejaculated, unlike the usual for teenagers." wet dreams", which are often not accompanied by erotic dreams.
Activities during sleep directly affect the brain and body
From the experiments described above, it follows that the events in which you become a participant in a dream have an effect on your brain (and, to a lesser extent, on your body) that is in many ways similar to that of similar events in reality. Additional Research confirm this conclusion. When lucid dreamers hold their breath or breathe faster during sleep, this is directly reflected in their real breathing. Moreover, changes in brain activity caused by the transition from singing to counting (singing involves more right hemisphere, and when counting - left) in the waking state, are almost exactly reproduced in lucid dreams. That is, for our brain it makes no difference whether this or that action is performed in a dream or in reality. This finding explains why dreams seem so real. To the brain they are indeed real.
We continue to study the relationship between human activity in dreams and his physiology in order to obtain detailed diagram interactions between mind and body during dreams, for everyone physiological systems, measurable. Such a scheme could provide great support to experimental sleep psychology and psychosomatic medicine. Indeed, the direct influence of dream activity on physiology makes it possible to use lucid dreaming to improve performance. immune system. Anyway, physiological effects, caused by dreams, show that we cannot distance ourselves from them, as from the illegitimate children of our imagination. And although our culture tries to ignore dreams, the events experienced in them are as real as in real life. And if we want to improve our lives, it would be right to do this with our dreams.
Social values and lucid dreams
You can often hear complaints from people interested in lucid dreams, to isolation, because, as one of them writes, “I can’t talk to anyone about this: everyone thinks I’m crazy and looks at me like I’m crazy when I try to talk about what I do in my sleep.” Our culture does not provide for any social support for those who study various states consciousness. This aversion is probably rooted in the behaviorist approach to psychology, which views all animals, including humans, as “black boxes” whose actions depend entirely on external influences. The contents of an animal’s “consciousness” are considered immeasurable, and thus not subject to scientific research.
Hello, I am 23 years old, not married, no children.
For about seven months I have been worried about this problem - I have very real and strange dreams, I cannot distinguish a dream from reality, several times during the day the question arises: “Am I dreaming now?”
And sometimes I spend a lot of time trying to figure it out: I remember the chronology of events and how I got to the place where I am now; I observe the behavior of people around me and try to find something unrealistic in what is happening.
I have dreams every night, but sometimes it happens that I don’t remember the whole dream, but only fragments. But usually I remember the smallest details of a dream, even little things down to the smell in the room or the color of my manicure. Constantly I wake up in a dream, then wake up again and again. I don’t know how to explain it correctly, so I’ll tell you about my dream today.
I dreamed that I was walking down the street with my dog, there were no people on the street and the weather was very hot. Then I noticed the silence around, the absence of passers-by, and I realized that now it was actually winter, I realized that this was a dream. I wake up, go to the kitchen, drink coffee, go to the store, there I start talking to some people, but I don’t see their faces, just voices, together with me they return to my home and there are more and more of them, I’m scared here too I notice that I am in my old apartment, from which I moved four years ago, and I understand that this is a dream. I wake up from the phone ringing, my mother calls and says that I urgently need to come to her, that she has some problems with the plumbing and everything is flooded, I decided to sleep for another five minutes before going to bed, set the alarm clock and fall asleep already when it’s light. Only after calling my mother did I realize that it was a dream and that she had not called me.
And so every night, I wake up in my sleep many times, there are very strange multi-colored and completely unreal dreams, there are scary ones, and there are also completely ordinary ones like walking with a dog.
I wake up even more tired than I fell asleep, my head hurts from eternal thoughts about sleep and reality. And it has been going on there for more than six months.
About a year ago, my beloved person passed away, now I have almost recovered from this, I don’t know whether the dreams are caused by stress from the loss or something else, but I never dream about my beloved person. There are dreams like that I’m waiting for him from work or, for example, I’m trying to call him, but I’ve never seen him in a dream.
I didn’t tell anyone about this problem, I thought it would go away with time, but I’m already very tired, I can’t sleep, it feels like I’m not sleeping at all.
Please advise me something.
Psychologist's answer:
Hello Irina!
Yes, indeed, sleep disturbance is most likely caused by the psychological trauma that occurred due to the loss of a loved one. The death of loved ones and loved ones is always a serious stress for a person. If the departure of your loved one was somehow connected with you, or you feel guilty, then the influence of grief is very strong. As you know, grief goes through certain stages, as a result of which a person comes to terms with the loss and perceives it as the past. These are the stages of shock, denial, searching for those to blame and reasons, a deep feeling of loneliness and depression, which ends by the year and the person begins to see his future separately from the deceased, and memories do not cause pain, but only bright, good feelings. If you linger at any of the first stages, then grief turns into severe mental disorders, For example, anxiety disorder, intrusive thoughts and actions and depression. Sleep disturbance is one of the striking symptoms of these disorders. Your dream is precisely a sleep disorder. Perhaps simple sedatives before bed will help you fall asleep soundly and not dream. But in fact, it is important to understand what exactly led you to this disorder and which one (anxious, depressive, OCD).
To do this, you need to contact a psychotherapist who, combining psychotherapeutic sessions and drug treatment, will help you find the cause and overcome the problem. Perhaps personal meetings with a psychologist, personal consultation and conversation will help. But most likely, you will need exactly medicinal assistance which can only be provided by a doctor. In any case, write to us.
