It is always impossible to live in positive ways. In order for a person to learn to value good, success and happiness, problems and troubles will fall on him. Complex situations "harden". The main thing is to be able to easily get out of them.
Do not be afraid of difficulties and never give up - so you will be able to avoid lethargy, apathy and decline of spirit. We will talk about the causes and symptoms of apathy today.
What is the difference?
Apathy and depression are several different phenomena. A mental disorder, sometimes accompanied by problems with physical health, is the only thing that unites them.
The state of apathy is expressed in indifference to everything that happens. A person is not interested in the world around him, people, work, home. Suddenly, everything loses its colors and its attractiveness. As a result, a constant apathy can lead to complete indifference to one's own life.
Amazing is the fact that such an ailment can attack an adequate, successful, having a house and a family person. It would seem, why not live peacefully and not be satisfied with all the blessings that you have? Alas, it does not work. A person becomes a hostage of his problem, and getting out of this state can be very difficult.
Depression is also a psychological disorder. Unlike apathy, it is not about indifference, but in a sense of anxiety, resentment, excitement and all sorts of experiences. Depression means deep depression .
Very often, after prolonged depression, emotional apathy may follow. When a person does not have the strength to experience and feel sorry for himself, he is emotionally exhausted and complete indifference sets in. In this case, one extreme is replaced by another
How can I find out?
Indifference does not come immediately. Let's find out what are the precursors of the state of apathy, what signs it has.
- fatigue and weakness. It may seem to a person that he is very tired at work, he needs rest and peace. Changing the situation, long-term and quality leave, perhaps, will help prevent further development of apathy;
- drowsiness. This state is also a "harbinger of trouble". If you give enough time to sleep, but feel that you do not get enough sleep, continue to closely monitor yourself;
- laziness and lack of initiative. If before you could boast that always and everywhere were the first, showed leadership qualities, then apathy makes you act in the opposite way;
- sadness. Very often you feel bored and sad for no particular reason, you do not want anything, there are no desires;
- indifference. As already mentioned, this is the main symptom of the fact that you were attacked by apathy;
- inexpressive speech. Weak emotional tone of your statements and unwillingness to take an active part in conversations;
- isolation. You are increasingly turned to yourself;
- the desire for solitude. You are increasingly trying to stay alone and avoid any noisy companies. It's not that people annoy you, they are simply uninteresting to you.
Who is guilty?
The main reasons for apathy include the following:
- stress. A serious quarrel with a loved one , the death of a loved one, loss of work and a change of residence - all these are the strongest tests for any of us. If the experiences were so strong, had a negative character, then all of the above can lead to apathy;
- lack of money. Long and stubborn labor, a constant lack of money, debts and a lack of ability to satisfy one's needs lead to the fact that the forces end, hands fall. A person loses interest and simply walks away from reality.
Avoid conflicts and try to make your life more interesting and rich.
