How to recover from stress. The concept of stressful skin and the mechanisms of the effect of stress on facial skin

It is no secret that strong emotional experiences affect our general condition. Facial skin is no exception. Doctors around the world have long argued that stress is a risk factor for many diseases. Our internal state is reflected externally. First of all, on the face. In women, the hormonal background is often disturbed from experiences, hence the rashes on the skin or the failure of the menstrual cycle.

In general, it can be concluded that stress affects the skin badly. It’s not always possible to just calm down and restore inner harmony, and a woman wants to look dazzling every day. In order to restore the skin after the influence of stress, there are several ways.

The mechanisms of stress on the skin

First, we’ll analyze what it is. Stress is a severe emotional shock. In response to such a “blow”, the body responds with chemical reactions, adapting to sharply changed conditions. Any quarrel, unpleasant conversation with a person or minor failure is stress.

It affects the skin through a chain of hormonal reactions. Emotional experiences stimulate the release of corticosteroids by the adrenal glands. These hormones are necessary for activity in order to run or attack. That's what nature intended, but modern people do not always get into a fight or hide from negative people. Therefore, the urgently generated energy is not wasted and begins to corrode the body from the inside:

The production of sex hormones responsible for youthful skin is suppressed.
Stress stimulates the release of the enzyme hyaluronidase. It breaks down hyaluronic acid, which is involved in the formation of skin elasticity. It becomes dehydrated and becomes dull.
Next, the work of metalloproteinases starts. These enzymes destroy collagen and elastin - the framework of the dermis. Wrinkles appear.
During stress, peripheral capillaries narrow. As a result, blood circulation in the skin worsens, which disrupts its nutrition.
Regular stress reduces the body's immune defenses. Inflammation, including local ones, in the form of pimples is becoming more frequent.
Corticosteroids directly stimulate sebum production. Shine on the face and acne - a vivid proof of this.
The nervous system is in tension, the sensitivity of the skin increases. As a result, even slight temperature changes can damage the epithelium, cause peeling, itching or rashes on the skin of the face.

You can suppress the manifestations of stress using cosmetic procedures.

Aesthetic medicine can work wonders, eliminating the effects of moral and physical fatigue. However, it is best for the skin and the body as a whole to get rid of the stress factor or calmly survive it. There are several ways to calm the nervous system:

Yoga and meditation.
Sanitary holiday or travel. To the edge of the event - take a vacation and relax.
Take a warm bath. Perhaps together with aromatherapy.
Regular moderate physical activity. At least 30 minutes a day should be given a walk in the fresh air.
Daily facial skin care.
Psychologist consultation.

All of these methods are effective with regular execution. But women always want to look good, so signs of fatigue need to be eliminated as soon as possible. Aesthetic medicine comes to the rescue.

Cosmetic anti-stress procedures

In this case, inappropriate. Beauticians have long noticed that in women in stress, the result from or lasts not so long as in people without it. The effect often does not live up to expectations, which negatively affects the reputation of the clinics, although doctors have nothing to do with it - these are the individual characteristics of the body, about which customers are warned in advance.

Cosmetology centers offer to focus on the following anti-stress procedures:

Spa massage. A nice way to relax and forget about the negative. The blood supply to the skin improves, it returns to tone and takes on a healthy, rested appearance.
Mesotherapy An individually selected cocktail is injected under the skin. Their composition is diverse. Most often, it includes vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The skin is nourished and protected from the aggressive effects of stress.
. The method effectively removes signs of stress. The cellular composition of the skin is updated, which gives the effect of rejuvenation.
Masks Provide nutrition and hydration to the skin.

It is impossible to completely eliminate the effects of stress only by external influences. For a more effective recovery, it is first necessary to calm the nervous system.

Everything happens in life, and from time to time we all encounter difficult events that literally throw us into a deep emotional and energetic hole. In this pit, everything is seen in a gloomy color, a thinker with a cycle of “what would happen if I did it differently,” “why did this happen to me,” and the like is spinning in full. When a dream falls apart, a loved one leaves or someone close to him dies, it seems that there will be nothing good, there is no strength for any actions. After very strong stress, we can feel the consequences even at the physical level, when the heart starts to hurt, gets nauseous, dizzy, a lush bouquet of psychosomatic diseases blooms. Someone begins a sluggish depression, someone seeks relief in alcohol, pointless hours of surfing in social networks that help brighten up dull evenings. If you are experiencing something similar, then this article is for you.

How to get out of an emotional hole, cope with pain, for example, survive a breakup?

Here, a phased system for recovering yourself in steps will help. Simple little steps to get out of this state. If you pass them without expecting quick results, then life will sparkle again with colors, everything will change. Desires and goals will gradually return, forces and energy will appear to achieve them, and overcoming yourself, changing yourself, you will change everything around. And, as a reward, be sure to achieve everything you want, be it love relationships, your favorite work, health, whatever.

Preparatory stage. Bright goal

People who have experienced severe stress are so emotionally devastated that they don’t want anything special. Yes, there is no energy to achieve something, there is no energy even to want something.

A bright goal serves that beacon, focusing on which you can do everything else, you can get out.
No need to think now how you will achieve it. Just create the intention, how you want to see your life, what exactly you need, even if at this stage it is just a fantasy.

Suppose you want a happy relationship, family, children? Great goal. Restore yourself and you can achieve it.

Are you devastated by your unloved work, everyday traffic jams, conflicts with colleagues? Set as your goal self-fulfillment in your favorite business, getting a decent income.

Does your health leave much to be desired? Do you feel like falling apart? Create an image of your vibrant vibrant life, where you are full of strength, energy and health.

Stage 1. Physical recovery

The main step towards restoring yourself is to establish the correct sleep regimen. It sounds corny and incomprehensible. For people who have experienced severe stress, some kind of regimen will seem like absolute nonsense. In fact, the regime is the first step of the ladder that will lead out of the pit.

If you want to physically feel better, begin to restore the body, increase the level of personal energy, then you definitely need to get enough sleep, but not just like that, but get enough sleep. What does it mean?

You need to sleep an average of 7-8 hours, but not more. Only on very difficult days, for example, during illness, can you afford more hours. Once I also thought that the more you sleep, the better, and my favorite saying was “lie down, sleep, and everything will pass.” But in the usual rhythm of life, a prolonged sleep takes energy, but does not add it!

You need to go to bed before 12 a.m., best of all - at 21-22 a.m. I wrote in detail what this approach gives in the article How I learned to get up early and note again the main thing: when you go to bed at 9-22 p.m., the hormone melatonin will be produced in your body, which is responsible for youth, beauty, energy, and helps to get rid from depression.

In addition, this way you will save yourself from meaningless sticking on TV shows and social networks or, even better, from taking an evening of a couple of cans of beer or a glass of wine.

Of course, if you are used to going to bed late, the first time you will not be able to fall asleep so early. But adding rises an hour or two earlier, the body will begin to rebuild. I checked myself many times: a correct sleep for 6-7 hours gives a lot more power than late falling asleep and rising. If you manage to organize yourself and make this a habit, your body will very soon rest, recover and will soon ask for physical activity, you will be surprised to find that you want to run in the mornings or dance.

I have already conducted several streams of the energy marathon “Let's change life in a hundred days. Detox of the body and consciousness ”and I observe an unambiguous relationship: those participants who already live according to the regimen go to bed early and get up early, more energetic, more active, healthier, they have more strength and better mood, and from the report to the report I see that in general in life they have much more organization in a variety of areas.

Okay, maybe I didn’t convince you.

Maybe the story of one of our participants will inspire you more (in a small reduction):

BUT there is something more: order in the brain, internal dialogues with everything necessary and unnecessary in the world have been reduced by 90 percent at least, a clear system of classes (exercises, practices) has appeared. I stopped spraying and doing everything, but I built myself a sequence, time and strictly following my self-discipline. The daily routine became like a normal person: I go to bed at 22:00 and wake up at 4:00, do practices (at that time, as it is written in the Vedas, everything a person does is multiplied hundreds of times, for from 4 to 7 in the morning A powerful stream of pure energy goes to Earth). She used to sit until 2-3 o’clock in the morning, and then slept until 1 o’clock in the morning, woke up as if a cow were chewing and spitting out. And now the bragging for the whole day.
Next: the brain began to work the way it worked for me from 24 to 36 years old. Those. I then had a very good responsible, very cool paid position, which was just because of a clear mind that I got bypassing EIGHTY people of competing applicants.
So, due to the fact that the brain stopped processing a bunch of crap and calmed down, a tremendous improvement took place in the work. A lot of agreements were reached, cooperation with partners was interrupted, which were not always obligatory and several times disrupted the terms promised to our clients. It just seemed to me at that time that they were the only people in the world, and I depended on them. At MOMENT, I found a replacement and only won in terms of location, timing and cost of services.
Farther. The plans for life and the vision of many situations changed dramatically, which influenced many decisions in the most, as it turned out, good side.
Husband and father-in-law got overgrown from my grip, from how I defend my (our) interests in business and in general by what I started to do! In general, they gave me the reins, so to speak, of the board in my hands and on Thursday (May 11) signed up with the relevant authorities, where the father-in-law will officially sign the documents on transferring the business to ME, and not to his own son or grandson.
I calmed myself so internally that even silence doesn’t ring me, and just quietly there is an answer for an answer, sometimes even to questions that I had several years ago.
I ceased to freak out, to panic, and the impression is that I know everything even before that, and internally I am going to.
Quarrels stop around me, wherever I go, it’s like the atmosphere is changing, people are very polite, they let me go, open the doors in front of me ... I don’t know how to explain, but everyone is trying to listen, help, do something nice, say a compliment ... Children and my husband began to visit us quite often, although they had come earlier, but only out of politeness, but now it seems that they are drawn to us. My husband’s son began to come often, calls, we spend breakfast together, go hunting together. And before that, for three years I saw him, maybe five or six times, no more.

Periods of crisis - a great time to arrange a reboot to the body and in terms of diet. Lean on fast food less, eat simple, high-quality food more. It would be nice to fast, introduce healthy supplements, drink herbal teas. Read more on restoring the body with beneficial supplements.

If you review the nutrition there is absolutely no strength, then start taking vitamins. Any vitamin complexes that your doctor will advise you. Lack of any potassium or magnesium can greatly affect our well-being, and you can meditate as much as you like, do whatever you like, but if you lack some components at the chemical level, then all this will have a secondary effect.

And pay special attention to vitamin C. At least start with it! Ordinary vitamins from a pharmacy or consume foods that contain it: rosehip infusion, lemon, pomegranate juice (pomegranate juice will also support hemoglobin level), bell pepper, spinach.

But most of all, probably, vitamin C in rose hips! He is the record holder for its content. Rosehip strengthens the immune system and maintains alertness.

If you are faced with the question of recovery (strength, health, physical activity, recovery from stress) - drink a rosehip broth every day!

Rosehip Infusion (recipe from the marathon “Change life in a hundred days. Detox of the body and mind”)

The value of fruits increases due to the significant content of vitamin P in them and the presence of a number of vitamins: A, B, E, K and others, contained not only in the fruits, but also in the leaves. Healing properties are also possessed by flower petals and plant roots. Vitamin C in rose hips can be from 0.5 to 4.5 grams per 100 grams of dried berries. This is a lot, about 10 times more than in blackcurrant berries, 50 times more than in lemon and 100 times more than in apples.

How to cook:
Take about 30 wild rose berries per liter of water. Rinse thoroughly, put in a thermos and fill with hot water (not boiling water).

If you do this in the evening, then in the morning the drink will be ready.

2 stage. Emotional recovery

Along with the establishment of the regimen and detox of the body, I strongly advise you to start conducting the Morning Pages. She told me many times what it is, if you don’t know. I can only say that, in my opinion, this is the best tool to put my thoughts and feelings in order, to get rid of pain, heavy emotional addictions and even discover creative abilities in ourselves.

And again, I’m giving a story of a visitor to the site who started conducting the Morning Pages (there are a lot of reviews, they really work like psychotherapy, but this girl writes about the regime, so this review is “two-in-one”):

For thirty-two days now I have been practicing the Morning Page practice. What did it give me, and what noticeable changes did I receive?

The main thing is that I wake up every morning in the region of 6-00. Usually it is somewhere 5-54 / 5-58. This is unbelievable!

I always got up with great difficulty in the morning. I really liked to sleep. The days when I could afford to soak in bed were the most anticipated. The most optimal waking schedule for me was to wake up somewhere at 10-00 or even 11-00 in the morning, but I could go to bed at 1, 2, and 3 nights. Moreover, I also lay down for a nap with pleasure during the day. It is clear that such a regime of the day I could only afford on vacation. As a result, all the time, as I remember, starting from school, my eternal desire was to sleep. And not just sleep enough, but for example, oversleep all day. Naturally, this desire was impossible.

I got up to work in the mornings with great difficulty, set three alarms with an interval of 10 minutes. The motivation to get out of bed was a promise to myself that I would come home and lay down to sleep (this was always the case when I managed to return from work in the middle of the day). Then it swayed for a long time and was going to work like a sleepy fly.

And it always has been! Until I started writing Morning Pages! I still find it hard to believe! First I had to get up 30 minutes early. If I usually got up (after three times switching the alarms) at 7-00 and barely managed to get ready, now I began to get up at 6-30 on the alarm clock and without delay. The consciousness that the page needs to be written moved. But this motivation was in the very first days. Further, some latent desire arose to get up and go write a page. This is the same as you get up and feel the need to rinse your face with clean water.

Then I began to tidy up my morning. Started doing exercises. There was enough time, and most importantly, there was a desire to make a bed. She began to wake up a few minutes before the alarm. As a result, I moved the rise time to 6-00 and I’m looking for an alarm just in case. But I wake up 5-6 minutes before the call and even on weekends. Of course, in the evening I began to get in early. By 21-00 I try to finish all things and begin to prepare for bed, so that at 22-00 already sleep. It happens that I do not have time to calm down to 22-00, but in any case it is no later than 23-00. If I go to bed closer to 23-00, then in the morning I feel some drowsiness (as if I didn’t get enough sleep), but I still wake up to the alarm clock and get up without any problems.
Now I rejoice at the beginning of the day. My morning begins with a good mood. I have time not only to write the Morning Page, do exercises and make up the bed, but still have breakfast, get together and take my time to get to work. And I have enough time in the morning to plan the day and make a to-do list.
I thank the Universe for this opportunity to change my life for the better!

Listening to music is also very helpful. A well-crafted playlist can help better than an expensive therapist. Only you need to select compositions carefully, the music should charge or calm, but not oppress. No songs about unhappy love, no suffering. If you like mantras or church chants, this is a great choice. Maybe melodies for meditation, maybe, on the contrary, energetic music for the dance floor.

Turn on your playlist while walking, cleaning your house, anytime. Music can get out of very difficult conditions.

For the first month or even two of these steps will be enough.

But then you will have the strength for more.

It's time to clean up the space!

This item I also relate to emotional recovery. A mess in clothes, files, deeds leads to a mess in thoughts and is a hole where your energy merges. If you are not inclined to periodically clear your space from trash, then you broadcast the Universe that you prefer a way of life in a mess, trash, chaos. And she creates additional circumstances for you to do this.

You can make yourself a wonderful gift: take the time and start throwing away excess, old books, unworn clothes, broken toasters, CDs and more. If possible, make repairs. After all this, sanctify your home. It will not just become easier for you, changes in life will begin immediately.

I think at this stage, if you really listen to me and do everything, your body will already ask for a load. You want to take long walks, or maybe even jog, maybe you sign up for dancing or do yoga (yoga is generally ideal for restoring physical and mental balance, if you want to do it, then changes in your state, inner and outside world guaranteed).

Any activity of this kind will not only help restore health and mood. If you can organize yourself and practice regularly, you will look much better externally, posture will straighten, excess weight will go away, you will become more graceful, more confident in yourself, the hormones released during sports will make you happier, you will feel your own inner strength. There are so many bonuses, which is surprising why so few people are engaged.

3 stage. Going to Goals

At this stage, you should already have the energy to move towards your goals.

Look around, you will constantly come across information on where to move on. For example, you still can’t survive the break with your beloved - go study. Let the head switch, thoughts will be occupied with other things. Optional higher education, a variety of courses are also suitable. It is important that you invest in yourself.
Expand your social circle. The easiest way to do this is through new hobbies. How to get carried away when it’s not very interesting?
And so. Watch yourself for a few days. Everyone has something that is at least a little interesting. Growing domestic flowers, cooking, breeding ferrets, whatever, just would not cause obvious disgust. Try to immerse yourself in it, get involved deeper, learn more. Start chatting with people who are interested in the same. This is generally a very effective way to expand the circle of friends, make new friends and often find a family.

If you are interested in moving to a new material level, then begin to mentally concentrate on what you can earn. If you constantly think about it, while reading the inspiring stories of other people (and now there are a lot of them), then ideas will certainly come up.

A new business, a new circle of communication, new hobbies, any movement forward will give an energy boost.

If you have the strength to do it now, without waiting for the crisis and severe stress, then invest in yourself, in your development now.

Open yourself to the world, get acquainted, learn.

And do not forget about the correct sleep mode)

Stress is the true scourge of our century. Every day a modern person encounters this phenomenon in one form or another: neglect of a doctor in a clinic, an arrogant seller in a store, a displeased boss, a deuce in the diary of his beloved offspring. The list goes on and on. All these events cause negative emotions in us. Over time, they are superimposed on the psyche, turn into a magnificent coulibia from tears, tantrums, irritability, illnesses arising from stress. How to deal with this, we will understand in this article.

Stages of stress

Before you begin to deal with stress, consider its stages and how our body behaves on each of them. In total, 3 stages are distinguished in psychology.

Anxiety. This stage is characterized by the release of hormones such as adrenaline and norepinephrine. They have a stimulating effect, forcing a person to take quick rescue measures. As a rule, run or beat. This condition is characteristic of an attack, a fright. If the factor that created the stressful situation is removed in time, then the person will quickly recover, without negative consequences.

Resistance. If you have a negative impact on a person for some time, the body and psyche go into the second stage. They begin to resist and try to remove the negative factor. At this stage, the body becomes vulnerable to various infections and diseases. But, while a person does not feel this. Its main task is to get rid of the irritant. In this state, the level of aggression rises.
Exhaustion. This is the final stage at which the body cannot resist. Gradually, signs of physical exhaustion, depression, and a number of unpleasant diseases appear.

If it is quite easy to get out of the first stage, then in the third, in most cases, it is necessary to treat concomitant diseases. Why it happens? The fact is that during stress, a protective mechanism is activated. The body focuses on protecting the life support system.

In this mode, the level of immune defense is greatly reduced. It is extremely dangerous to let the situation go by itself.

The consequences of a disorderly attitude to the situation can lead not only to a bad mood, apathy, but also to more serious diseases. Up to oncology.

Symptoms of prolonged stress

Many people are accustomed to chronic stress, consider this condition to be normal. Subsequently, they are surprised by the bouquet of physical and mental diseases that have appeared. To prevent this, you need to learn to recognize the signs of stress in order to effectively deal with this painful condition.

If you notice any of the following symptoms at home, you should urgently take measures to restore the normal physical and psychological state:

Decreased concentration (when a person cannot concentrate on a specific task, it becomes diffuse)
Chronic fatigue
Violation of sleep patterns. It can be insomnia, chronic drowsiness, nightmares.
Eating disorder. These include overeating or vice versa, refusal of food.
Pessimistic view of the world. This is not related to temperament. A person in a prolonged state of stress simply refuses to see the beautiful around him.

Fighting irritability

Chronic stress affects the psychological state. A person loses the ability to calmly assess the situation and respond to it. The level of aggression is increasing significantly. After some time, a person in stress becomes an annoying factor for his environment, and instead of helping, he gets more negativity in his life. How to avoid this?

If you notice an increased irritability behind you: raise your voice, even react to the most insignificant little things too emotionally, feel irritation towards people in public transport, a store, at work - it's time to think. Here are some ways you can deal with irritability.

Regular physical activity: strength training, yoga, zumba, etc.
The practice of positive thinking. There are a lot of them, but in most cases they are based on the visualization technique. Mentally reproducing positive memories or paintings
Hobby. Any activity that will make you switch from negative experiences to positive thoughts: drawing, singing, reading books. Thus, the psyche will receive the necessary rest.

Various yoga practices work very well in this direction. They combine physical activity, visualization and general relaxation.

Recovery process

To restore health after prolonged stress, you will have to make some efforts. To begin with, you need to identify the causes of stress and eliminate them. Try to eliminate or minimize contact with the cause of stress. It can be communication with some person, driving a car, loud music, a mess at home.

Unfortunately, it is not always possible to eliminate the cause of a bad mood. For example, when it is not possible to change jobs or send a child to grandmother. Then, you need to reconsider your view of the situation. For many of us, this is the most difficult step. For example, if you are annoyed by the constant deuces in your son’s diary, think that in a few years, the baby will become independent and will cease to need you. Enjoy every day you live.

Try to get rid of bad habits. Smoking, alcohol, and the abuse of “fast food” deplete the body’s protective resources and reduce its ability to resist stress.

Relaxation and relaxation

Rest time is the best time to recover. Try not only to sleep 8 hours a day, but also switch to pleasant thoughts throughout the day. Devote 20-30 minutes a day to meditation, reading an interesting book, or a favorite hobby.

Daily regime

By the regime of the day we mean not only the time of sleep, work and rest, but also planning. Try to ensure that all the tasks that must be completed per day are evenly distributed. Do not put off anything until tomorrow. This will avoid rushing, processing and unnecessary stress. Try to write down all cases in a notebook for several days in a row and systematically carry them out. You will be surprised how much simplified life is.

And be sure to leave time for yourself. In our mentality, unfortunately, it is not customary to take care of yourself. Remember that you can take care of loved ones only if you yourself are healthy.

Physical exercises

The benefits of physical activity have been said enough. We’ll talk about calming exercises. Give them time after waking up or before going to bed. It is best to include several types of physical activity in your schedule. This will help not only get rid of stress, but also harmoniously develop your body.

Here are a few activities to consider:

Breathing exercises. Any practice from yoga is suitable for relaxation. It is best to do them in the morning, after waking up. Exercise will help you tune in a positive mood.
Run. A great way to escape from problems. The main thing is to focus on the process.
Water sports. Getting into an unusual environment, a person switches and forgets about troubles.

Drug treatment

Unfortunately, it is not always possible to get out of stress with the help of yoga and positive thinking. Sometimes, to recover, you have to resort to medical treatment. More serious sedatives such as Finalepsin are sold exclusively by prescription. Starting their application, be sure to read the instructions. They have some contraindications and side effects.

Also, in the pharmacy network, a large selection of herbal preparations is presented. Such drugs relieve anxiety, relax the nervous system. But, you need to take them in a course. A single application of the result will not work.

Do not forget about the vitamin - mineral complexes. They will support the body’s defenses and help restore the field of prolonged stress faster.

Folk recipes

Folk antistress drugs are suitable for both adults and children. Aromatherapy, acupuncture, fees based on plant components, etc. These drugs do not contain chemicals and are extremely effective. They can be used both for the prevention of stress and for overcoming it.

Here are some simple recipes for home use:

Dried herbs of fennel, valerian, motherwort and caraway seeds pour boiling water, insist 20 - 30 minutes and take 2 - 3 times a day
Alcohol tincture from motherwort has a calming effect no worse than pharmaceuticals. To cook it, you need to pour motherwort leaves with alcohol in a ratio of 1: 5 and insist for 5 days. Take 10 drops twice daily
Oil baths relax and soothe. Coniferous odors work great. To do this, just add a few drops to hot water.

Diet for a good mood

And the last thing that can help withstand stress is food. We repeat once again the common truths that are known to almost every person:

Exclude food garbage from the diet: chips, sweet soda, etc. All this brings us only empty calories and no benefit
Diversify your diet with colored vegetables and fruits. Remember, the more flowers are on the plate, the more likely it is to get all the substances necessary for the body
Eat regularly. Hunger is also stress for our body.

Recovery from prolonged stress takes time. Try to work on this problem comprehensively and, if necessary, do not hesitate to resort to the help of a specialist. It depends only on you how quickly you can return to normal.

It is difficult to find a person who is not in a stressful situation. Each organism functions in its own way. Therefore, everyone needs to know how to restore the nervous system after prolonged stress.

Stress is manifested by apathetic behavior, loss of interest in what is happening. Prolonged nervous breakdown can provoke dangerous diseases. Stroke, heart attack, stomach ulcer, loss of immunity - the effects of stress. You need to be able to cope with stress, restore body functions. Ignoring the symptoms of prolonged stress leads to malfunctioning of many organs.

Causes of Long-Term Stress

A chronic type of prolonged nervous breakdown of the entire system occurs under the following circumstances:

large mental or physical stress;
constant conflicts (domestic, workers);
lack of life purpose;
loss of interest in what is happening around;
not enough time to solve everyday or urgent problems;
job loss (or threat of loss);
protracted diseases.

Knowing the causes of stress, you can learn to restore the nervous system after stress to its original form.

Chronic stress is dangerous by the gradual destruction occurring in the body. If you do not immediately pay attention to stress, it is more difficult to restore strength over time.

The primary way to bring the nervous system back to normal

If you undergo a prolonged breakdown, to restore the psyche after stress, follow these steps:

pour a glass of water, drink in small portions;
pure water will become a barrier to stroke, restore normal blood coagulation;
try to quickly perform any physical action (move a chair, a table, pick up some thing, go for a walk).

This is a first aid for a prolonged failure of the nervous system. Try to limit alcoholic beverages - only do harm (it will become easier at first), do not restore the body and nervous system. Properly restore nerves will help other methods.

The list of products that help support, fully restore the body with prolonged stress, system failure:

milk, low fat kefir, cottage cheese;
vegetable oil (any);
nuts
dark chocolate with a high content of cocoa beans;
oatmeal, buckwheat;
sea \u200b\u200bkale;
vegetables fruits.

Use these products, carry out medical appointments, and the restoration of the nervous system will be more efficient, easier.

Restoring breastfeeding with prolonged stress

It happens that a young mother gets nervous, then breast milk disappears. For the future health of the baby, the restoration of lactation is of great importance. Reasons why milk is lost:

fright
nervous strain;
fatigue;
strong pain;
the consequences of a hard day;
the baby refuses to take breasts;
unhealthy family atmosphere;
loss of contact with the baby, even for a short time.

Due to any of the above circumstances, milk “burns out”. It is possible to regain breast milk lactation after experiencing a prolonged failure of the nervous system. Consider the process of milk production:

a child is born, the amount of progesterone decreases, prolactin (female hormone of reproductive function) increases;
thanks to prolactin, breast milk begins to be produced;
a special gland (hypothalamus) activates the hormone oxytocin - milk enters the ducts (arrives);
it's simple: there is a hypothalamus, you can solve the problem of how to restore lactation after a nervous breakdown.

Milk does not disappear completely, its production stops. The reason is adrenaline (stress hormone). With prolonged nervous exertion, the mother receives a large amount of adrenaline, the production of oxytocin (responsible for milk) stops. What to do, how to return breast milk lactation?

You need to know what helps to increase the amount of oxytocin, try to do the following:

throw out negative, disturbing thoughts, tune in a positive mood;
drown adrenaline with positive emotions (chocolates, shops, new clothes). Collect a foam bath, do a cleaning;
even with a temporary lack of milk, apply the baby to the chest - it provokes the production of oxytocin;
continue decanting the remnants (droplets) of milk to restore lactation.

During the recovery period, a young mother needs peace, the support of loved ones. If someone doubts whether it is possible to restore lactation after a nervous strain, calmly relate to such people, follow the doctor's instructions - the milk will return.

The return of strength after prolonged stress

Surviving a nervous shock is not easy. It is difficult to get out of the state, to return to normal life. Do not try to bring yourself to normal only on your own - consult a doctor. Based on medical prescriptions, you can effectively restore memory after stress.

There is an opinion ¬-prolonged stressful situation develops into depression. This is not true. No need to prescribe antidepressants, tranquilizers on your own. It is advisable to start with gentle preparations, know how to restore the psyche after a nervous breakdown.

Try the following:

try to move more, walk, walk to work, to the shops;
watch a positive film instead of daily news - there is a lot of negative;
