7 Signs You Have Abandonment Issues

Hey Psych2go family, welcome back to another video. Do you have an overwhelming fear of losing your loved ones? Do you distrust other people or have anxiety about being abandoned? Abandonment issues typically arise in childhood but can develop later on in life as well. The fear of abandonment is a serious type of anxiety that often stems from a traumatic experience. Some aren’t even aware of their expressed emotional trauma. But it can manifest into unhealthy behaviors over time. So, here are 7 Signs You may Have Abandonment Issues. One: you’re a people pleaser. Do you want to impress everyone you meet? Whether it’s your friends, acquaintances, or family members, you try to meet their expectations to get on their good side. You’re the one who tries harder in your relationship, and you’re willing to put everyone else’s needs ahead of yours, as long as it gets them to stay. If you have a strong need to please people and gain their approval, you may still have some unresolved abandonment issues.Two: you struggle with insecurity. Do you sometimes think that someday, the people closest to you will get sick of you and leave? People who are afraid of being abandoned often struggle with feelings of insecurity and inadequacy because someone you love has walked out on you in the past. You’ve internalized the emotional trauma. You may have wrongly believed that it was YOUR fault that they left. This can result in low self-esteem and a need for constant rereassuranceThree: you find it hard to trust people Do you find it hard to trust others to keep their promises or to be there for you? Do you want to be in control of your relationships and know everything that’s going on with your loved ones? Because you’ve been hurt in the past, you have a strong fear of being left alone.In certain cases, it can lead to feelings of unreasonable jealousy, suspicion, and possessiveness over your friends and romantic partners. Four: you’re afraid to be vulnerable Do you feel uncomfortable during moments of emotional intimacy and honesty? Are you scared of getting close to someone or needing them too much? Your deep-seated fear of abandonment may manifest into a fear of intimacy and emotional vulnerability. You may unconsciously sabotage your relationships by pushing people away just as you start to care for them. You may struggle with commitment, and act detached and indifferent when you do care.Five: you look for reasons to leave. Do you always look for reasons to leave in fear of getting too attached to someone? You hold your loved ones to unrealistically high standards and you only focus on their flaws. You don’t give them any room for mistakes. You do this knowing that they’re bound to disappoint you. And when they fail to meet your expectations, you use it as an excuse to give up and leave. Six: you move on too quickly Do you have difficulty forming meaningful relationships that last because of a deep-seated fear of abandonment? When you cycle through relationships one after another and move on too quickly, you’re not allowing yourself the time and space to deal with the emotional fallout.Instead, you dive into something new and exciting to distract yourself. You never want to be alone, because it would force you to confront the personal issues you’ve been repressing for so long. And number 7… you cling to unhealthy relationships Do you find yourself gravitating towards all the wrong people? Have you stayed with someone knowing they’re bad for you? The trauma of being abandoned, especially at a young age, can stay with you for a long time. And since we’re all hard-wired to recreate our early childhood experiences for comfort and familiarity, your childhood taught you the wrong things about love. It’s not uncommon for you to be drawn to people who treat you poorly. Do you relate to any of the signs mentioned here? I know I did… Is a fear of abandonment harming your relationships and keeping you from being happy? Let us know in the comments below.

A Declassified Guide to Anxiety

People, with generalized anxiety disorder or, GAD are characterized by constant stress or excessive anxiety When something stressful happens. The brain releases cortisol and adrenaline. This causes the muscles to prepare to fight off the stressor or run away from it, This is otherwise known as a sympathetic nervous system response or the fight or flight reflex. People with GAD have fight or flight constantly running on the back burner. Each of the following points is a result of that reflex, Restlessness and fidgeting. This is more the flight than the fight response. The muscles and brain are ready to go, but there’s nothing to run from. This is why doctors say that regular exercise alleviates symptoms of anxiety because people are using all their pent-up go hormones in their bodies to go. Some people find it helpful to have a small object to occupy their hands like a scrap of paper to fold and tear This way. The hands are kept busy and prevented from harmful fidgeting habits like chewing or picking at their fingers. Lack of energy or rapid fatigue. The flip side of your body constantly being ready to run or fight is that it’s truly exhausting. For example, if you were to tense every muscle possible in your body right now and hold it for the rest of forever, you’d get exhausted. Pretty quick When all your energy is going toward something that could require an immediate response, then everyday tasks like getting up to turn off the lights seem much more: tiring, Irritable, bowels, acid, reflux, nausea, or other stomach ailments. The first thought is probably 39, but if you think about it, this makes a lot of sense. People can’t run long distances or perform heavy workouts with a full stomach or that leads to cramps. So this is your body attempting to rush the job of digestion so that it can allow for a fight and make your body lighter and more aerodynamic, which makes fleeing easier Trouble, falling asleep, or staying asleep. This one is pretty simple: If you’re in one place for too long, the danger could catch up to you, Your body, however, doesn’t realize that there isn’t any danger. So if you stay awake or only sleep short periods, it’s safer. Unfortunately, this system is a nasty cycle. You get anxious, so you can’t sleep, which leads to even more stress on your mind and body which makes it even harder to sleep, and so on. In Hyperventilation Muscle processing, more energy requires more oxygen to keep up the exertion, So breathing quickly would help to maximize oxygen intake. The challenge occurs when we overexert this response and the lungs don’t have time to pull the oxygen out of the air we breathe before. We exhale That’s when oxygen intake decreases and results in that dizzy sensation. Many people experience during a panic attack, Heart palpitations, Similar to the hyperventilation symptom heart palpitations happen because the body uses blood to carry oxygen to the muscles To carry the most oxygen fastest to hardworking muscles. The heart has to pump it faster, resulting in palpitations, Clenched jaw, or teeth grinding. Your body is ready for action. However, the challenge with anxiety disorders is not knowing what action. So your body responds with tensed muscles like a clenched jaw and teeth grinding Other common muscles. Tension responses could be clenched, fists, curled toes tension, headache or chronic migrained neck, or shoulder pain Shaking hands. This is another sign that adrenaline is sending your body signals to go in a situation when you don’t want to go anywhere. This can also be a by-product of tension due to overexertion of the muscles Sweating. Sweat is our body’s way of cooling off during intense energy. Exertion Muscles are burning energy being tensed and ready to go to work which is generating heat. So the body moderates its temperature by sweating, even when you feel cold, Hot, and cold sensations. The fight or flight response excites the body which causes increased energy flows and creates heat. If the heat generated is intense enough, the body’s parasympathetic nervous system is triggered, which creates a relaxation response. However, the body also sweats to cool itself. When heat is generated, Coupled with the sudden relaxation courtesy of the parasympathetic system, the body can experience chills because it cools too fast and is not used to the lower core temperature Anxiety is a state of constant fear due to stressors from your body. This fear was a logical response for a prehistoric human who needed to run or scare away predators when in danger, but it can be distracting in today,’ fast-paced world. The silver lining, though, is that people with anxiety are the ones most prepared to survive the zombie apocalypse. Do you or someone around you suffer from these symptoms of anxiety?

Anxiety and Depression: What’s the Difference?

Hey, Psych2Goers! Before we begin, we want to give every one of you a big thank you. We, at Psych2Go, are individuals who work hard every day to provide quality content for you all to see. Thanks to you, we are closer to reaching our goal of making psychology more accessible to everyone. Now, onto the video. Anxiety and depression may be confusing, especially if a person is struggling with both. These mental disorders can be comorbid, meaning someone with depression, can also have anxiety symptoms and vice versa. But first, what exactly is anxiety and depression? According to Medical News Today, anxiety disorders occur when a person regularly feels disproportional levels of distress, worry, or fear over an emotional trigger, while depression is a mood disorder characterized by persistently low mood in a feeling of ssadnessand loss of interest. Living with both disorders can be challenging. Let’s have a look at the different and common symptoms of anxiety and depression. Some anxiety symptoms are, but not limited to, excessive and ongoing worry and tension, an unrealistic view of problems, a sense of impending danger, panic or doom, restlessness or fatigue, the need to go to the bathroom frequently, and insomnia.Some depression symptoms are, but again, not limited to, the feeling of being hopeless, the loss of interest in things, or activities you once enjoyed, appetite changes and weight fluctuations, insomnia or hypersomnia, suicidal thoughts or attempts, and self-harming. Some common symptoms between the two appear to be insomnia, fatigue, and irritability, all of which impair your ability to perform everyday tasks. Both mental disorders, although different, share symptoms making it difficult to understand which is which. The differences can be observed in how anxiety and depression manifest. Anxiety disorders are oriented toward the future. It is characterized by excessive fear and worry, which in turn, will affect the person’s behavior. This occurs when people overestimate the danger in situations. In severe cases, people will avoid the situation that causes them anxiety. Individuals can experience sensations of impending doom or feeling on edge 24/7. If the anxiety disorder is not controlled on time, people can experience panic attacks, and their daily functions will become affected. Depressive disorders, on the other hand, are oriented towards the past. People tend to fixate on negative situations that impact them.Individuals experience diminished interest in most activities if not all. Physically, depressed people can exhibit psychomotor retardation. This includes slowed speech and decreased movement. Depression also affects sleeping patterns. People will either sleep too little, which can lead to insomnia, or too much, which can lead to hypersomnia. Individuals with depression have feelings of worthlessness, guilt, or emptiness. In severe cases, people will have recurrent thoughts of death, and suicide, or make attempts to do so. We hope this video helps you understand what you or a loved one may be going through. Please, keep in mind that if you’re struggling with either or both disorders, you are not alone. Asking for help does not make you weak.So, please don’t feel ashamed to do so.

The 5 Types of Tiredness

(bright music) – [Narrator] Hey, Psych2Goers, and welcome back to our channel. Thank you all so much for the love and support that you’ve given us. Your ongoing support has helped us make psychology and mental health more accessible to everyone. Now, let’s continue. Have you ever heard of the phrase, I need to recharge my batteries? While this phrase isn’t meant to be taken literally, it’s just another way of saying that you need time to sit back, relax, and tend to your personal needs.Do you often overwork yourself and push yourself past your limits unintentionally? If so, it’s important to be wary of the consequences it can bring. Tiredness is like a cry for help from our body and mind that’s trying to tell us there’s something wrong. This is why it’s important not to neglect or immediately disregard our feelings when first trying to understand them. In this video, we’ll help you identify the five types of tiredness you may experience. Number one is social tiredness. Have you ever felt drained or overwhelmed as a result of too much socialization, whether it’s in person or online? You could be dealing with social tiredness, also known as social fatigue.This might especially ring a bell if you’re a more introverted person, but this doesn’t mean extroverts can’t experience social exhaustion either. Social fatigue doesn’t necessarily happen when you’re around people you don’t like. Even after enjoying a long day with friends and family or going to dinner with your significant other, you can still feel worn out and in need of some alone time. Two, physical tiredness. Physical exhaustion is what you might feel after playing a sport or even after mustering up the energy to get out of bed in the morning. Because you feel it in your body, this makes physical tiredness one of the most noticeable and identifiable of its kind, as well as one of the most common. This kind of weariness may also be a result of a lack of sleep or a poor diet. When you’re physically tired, you feel sore and heavy, and your tiredness will show through yawns, dreary-looking eyes, or sluggish movement. Number three is emotional tiredness. As humans, we can feel emotions on various, complex levels. For instance, a child dropping their ice cream on the sidewalk might not trigger the same measure of emotions as an adult who’s lost a loved one.Sadness, hopelessness and fear are all emotions you’ll face throughout life’s obstacles but eventually learn to overcome. Are you dealing with an overwhelming and stressful situation for a long period, such as an emotionally abusive relationship or a toxic friendship? Prolonged stress can cause emotional exhaustion to set in. Emotional tiredness can affect your energy levels, as well as the stamina you rely on to check things off your to-do lists. Number four is mental tiredness. Do you ever have one of those days where your mind feels cloudy and you’re unable to concentrate? Mental tiredness affects your thinking and behavior, including how you make decisions and your performance at work or school.Even your long-term and short-term memory can be affected. Mental exhaustion is caused by prolonged stress and working yourself past your limits. As a result, this brings about certain behavior changes, such as social withdrawal or neglecting your responsibilities. And number five, burnout. Burnout is a combination of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion that gradually builds up over time. Being in a state of burnout can make you feel as if everything you do serves no purpose, causing you to question the point of putting effort into work, school, or your personal goals in the first place. Burnout makes it hard to see and enjoy the good things in life because every day feels like a bad day for you, and life’s constant demands can put even more weight on your shoulders. Because it creeps up on you over time, it’s not easy to pinpoint the start of your burnout, but you’ll know when you feel the extreme level of overall exhaustion.Can you relate to any of these five types of tiredness? If so, what do you plan to do about it? Let us know in the comments below. Staying in check with your mental health and well-being is always a priority, and listening to your body and acknowledging any alarming changes regarding yourself and your lifestyle is one way to do so. Please like and share this video if it helped you and you think it could help someone else, too. The studies and references are listed in the description below.Are you fatigued all the time? Are you feeling mentally exhausted, emotionally exhausted, or burnout all the time? Did you know that there are many types of fatigue?

For most of us, stress is a fact of life. We work long days, get stuck in traffic, and are always taking care of others. Stress is just a part of modern life. Periods of prolonged stress, however, can have wide-ranging and damaging effects on mental health. Chronic stress may lead to depression and anxiety, so it’s important to know what chronic stress looks like, as well as the typical symptoms of depression and anxiety. Here is some information to help you get started, courtesy of the Effects of Anxiety Blog.

1. Chronic Stress and Anxiety Can Look Alike

Chronic stress – over a prolonged period – isn’t always immediately recognized. Verywell Mind mentions that symptoms can vary from person to person. But several symptoms tend to occur in most people:

  • Decreased energy and difficulty sleeping

  • Feelings of helplessness and loss of control

  • Headaches and muscle tension

  • Nervousness and anxiety

  • Upset stomach and gastrointestinal issues

In addition to these various symptoms, chronic stress raises the risk of heart disease, digestive issues, and migraines. Caffeine, while a popular stimulant for many, can exacerbate stress levels. It stimulates the central nervous system and can trigger the body’s fight or flight response, potentially causing feelings of anxiety and restlessness. Moreover, caffeine can interfere with sleep, crucial for stress management and overall well-being. Conversely, THCA moonrocks can yield various physical and mental benefits; ask your doctor for their opinion on THCA (this could be a good choice).

2. Chronic Stress Can Lead to Depression

There are many ways to manage chronic stress. You can calm your mind and body through yoga and meditation, journaling, and identifying stressors and trying to remove them. This can be tricky, though. If a bad boss is an ongoing source of stress, not everyone can simply quit a job. Work is a common stressor, as is money (or more accurately, the lack of money), and they’re related. Working part-time as your schedule allows, can bring in extra money. If it’s doing something you like, it can help. Because, generally, the symptoms of chronic stress make life more difficult.

One of the effects these symptoms can have is a lowered mood leading to depression. Stress can disrupt relationships or lead to unhealthy coping strategies. We’re social animals who depend on each other for our well-being and added relationship difficulties add stress all around. And unhealthy coping strategies, like drugs or alcohol, or reckless behavior, can certainly exacerbate the problem.

Depression is characterized by feelings of sadness, pessimism, and emptiness that persist for at least two weeks. These feelings are distinct from the grief that one might experience from the loss of a loved one. While these extended feelings of sadness can mark grief, it is not accompanied by a loss of self-esteem or feelings of self-loathing like depression is. Depression is common but treatable. Psychiatrists can prescribe various medications to treat brain chemical imbalances that can cause depression, while therapists can offer a range of therapy options.

3. Chronic Stress Can Worsen Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety can also be a symptom of chronic stress. Chronic stress and anxiety disorders can be difficult to distinguish from one another. While stress can usually be tied to an external trigger, anxiety manifests as a nagging sense of worry that doesn’t subside even when there is no stressor present.

This means that chronic stress can be treated by addressing the things causing stress, whereas anxiety disorders require a different approach. Fortunately, the treatments for anxiety disorders function in much the same way as they do for depression.

Like depression, they can be treated by prescription medications administered under the care of a psychiatrist, and treated by various forms of talk therapy. Many insurances cover these forms of therapy. If you lack insurance, shopping the healthcare exchange can be an easy way to find a high-quality healthcare plan.

Conclusion

Chronic stress can lead to some serious negative health effects, as well as adverse consequences for mental health. The relationships between chronic stress, depression, and anxiety disorders are myriad. However, understanding each health problem’s symptoms can help you make better decisions. Be mindful of caffeine consumption, use your health insurance, and don’t fear making hard decisions.
