None of us is quite as healthy in mind as we seem, but neither is every unusual thing we do means we’re unhealthy. How to tell the difference? Start by reading the letters below, which have been analyzed by our experts.
(1) Lately, after I read an unusual word, I often can’t get it out of my head for days, sometimes weeks. I silently repeat it to myself, often spell it, and even wake up in the night with it ringing in my head. What’s wrong with my brain?
That sounds like a little obsession (着迷). Your brain feels that for some reason it must repeat this word. Unless it is taking up more than an hour of your day or really influencing your life, it is not serious. To stop it, leave it alone. If you really want to stop the repetition, set aside ten minutes a day to repeat the word over and over again. Do it so many times that you finally get sick of it.
(2) I sometimes have strange dreams when taking a short sleep, and I think they’re real when I wake up. Then, as I come around, I realize they aren’t. Is there something wrong with me?
What’s wrong is that you take short sleeps and most of us don’t! But are you mad? No. We all have strange dreams, and it’s normal, upon waking, to be fuzzy (模糊) for a little while or even not to remember where we are. What is not normal is if you don’t have these dreams.
(3) When people are eating, I can’t stand the sound of a fork or spoon knocking on a plate or bowl. I begin shaking and having a headache. I’m also sickened by the sound of people chewing with their mouths open. Is there something wrong with me?
It seems that there is something wrong with everyone else you know. How come they don’t eat with their mouths closed? At the least, you’re over sensitive (敏感) to little noise. You may also be troubled by a disorder in mind called misophonia. Try drawing your attention away from the noise. Pay attention to something else as hard as you can when you eat with your friends: the music in the background, the scene out the window, even what they’re talking about. You can train yourself to be less troubled by the noise.
(4) When I’m driving and have to cross a bridge, my heart starts racing and I feel light-headed. The fear that I’m going to pass out makes the whole situation worse. Am I crazy?
This sounds like an anxiety (忧虑), which can bring on heart illness and a real sense that you’re going to die. This kind of feeling is the body’s reaction to the possible danger in near future. To keep your anxiety from progressing, try the old method: breathing. When you feel your heart starting to race, take a deep breath in three or four times, and then let it out five or six times until you start to feel comfortable. You can also make a tape of your favourite song, and sing along as you cross the bridge.
(1)最近,我读了一个不寻常的话后,我经常不能把它从我的头几天,有时几个星期。我默默地对自己重复一遍,经常拼写它,甚至在半夜里醒来,它萦绕在我的头。我的大脑是错的吗?
那听起来像是一个小小的痴迷(着迷)。你的大脑会因为某些原因必须重复这个词。除非是以超过你一天一小时或真的影响你的生活,它是不严重的。停止它,别管它了。如果你真的想停止重复,每天花十分钟去重复一遍一遍又一遍的。这样做的次数太多了,你终于得到它生病。
(2)我有时会有些奇怪的梦想以一个短暂的睡眠时,我想他们是真的当我醒来。然后,当我回来,我知道他们是不是真的。我是不是有什么问题吗?
错的是你采取短睡觉,我们大多数人不!但是,你疯了吗?我们都有一个奇怪的梦,这是正常的,醒来后,将模糊(模糊)一会儿甚至不记得我们在哪里。什么是不正常的是,如果你没有这些梦想。
(3)当人们吃,我不能忍受一声的叉子或勺子敲盘子或碗。我开始摇晃,头痛。我也讨厌人张着嘴咀嚼食物的声音。我有什么毛病吗?
它似乎是你知道每个人都有问题。他们怎么不吃闭着嘴巴?至少,你过度敏感(敏感)小噪声。你可以通过一个障碍称为恐音症困扰的头脑。试着把你的注意力远离噪音。注意别的东西,尽你所能吃的时候你和你的朋友:在背景音乐,车窗外的景象,即使他们谈论的是什么。你可以训练自己的噪音少麻烦。
(4)当我开车的时候,要过一座桥,我的心开始比赛,我觉得头晕。担心我会通过使情况变的更糟。我是不是疯了?
这听起来像一个焦虑(忧虑),它可以导致心脏病和一个真正意义上的,你会死的。这种感觉是身体的反应可能的危险在不久的将来。保持你的焦虑的进展,试着老方法:呼吸。当你感觉你的心开始比赛,深呼吸三次或四次,然后让它五或六次直到你开始感到舒适。你也可以做一个你最喜欢的歌曲磁带,跟着一起唱你穿过桥。本回答被提问者采纳
