Bad mood in spring. How to deal with spring depression. Thanks for the conversation

Diseases, the number of people falling into depression is increasing. The psychotherapist Alexei Nikolaevich Zadirakin talks about the causes and a fundamentally new approach to the treatment of these ailments.

— Aleksey Nikolaevich, everyone knows that spring exacerbations of many diseases occur due to a decrease in the consumption of vitamins, changes in meteorological factors. Isn't it true?

- If this were so, then all people on Earth would have some exacerbations with the onset of spring, but this does not happen. In my deep conviction, the cause of seasonal ailments is quite different. Spring is the time of the awakening of nature, love, joy. And against this background, people who are offended by someone, who are unlucky in life, feel even more disadvantaged. Their mood deteriorates even more, then this state turns into a depressive one. Many of these patients - and these are mostly women - even say that they do not want to live.

Negative emotions adversely affect the entire body. If you have a dog, then you know that the tail is an indicator of its mood: when it is happy, it wags it, when it is angry or frightened, it tightens it. In humans, smooth muscles serve as such a "tail".

When a person is frightened, he shudders. If we are in a bad mood, then the muscles tense up, a vasospasm occurs. As a result - oxygen starvation, metabolic disorders - hence the disease. Doctors prescribe all kinds of medicines to such a patient, but they do not help, because he does not need medicine, but peace of mind.

— Can a person notice for himself when his bad mood turns into a disease - depression?

- A bad mood can be temporary - a person received bad news or quarreled with someone, and it deteriorated for him. But in life there are many pleasant moments that return him to his former state, he is again cheerful and cheerful. Depression is a long-term state of bad mood, no matter what. A woman wakes up in the morning, and she does not want to open her eyes, to see this world. By evening, she is more or less cheered up, calmed down, but the next morning she is again in sadness. And this can go on for several months, and no medicine helps.

In my opinion, depression is not a disease, but a state of mind of a person. And if we change this state - and this is exactly what I am doing - then there will never be any depressive changes, including spring ones.

— As I understand from your story, women are more prone to depression than men. Why?

By nature, women are very different from men. They are more emotional, sensitive, they think more about the problems that arise in life, especially in relationships with people - parents, husband, girlfriends. In addition, men find opportunities to somehow relax, get away from worrying problems - drink, go to the bathhouse, tinker with the car in the garage, go fishing or hunting away from all this. And women, as a rule, do not allow themselves this.

By the way, recently, which is surprising for me, there is a clear "rejuvenation" of depression. If a few years ago women aged 40-50 and older came to me in this state, that is, mainly in connection with menopause, today most of my patients are not even thirty.

- In recent years, many new drugs have appeared that help restore peace of mind. Which of them do you recommend to your patients?

- I am categorically against all drugs - not only psychotropic drugs, tranquilizers, but even sleeping pills, because many times I have encountered the sad consequences of their use. We seem to temporarily help the patient, relieve overexcitation, but the person gets used to the drugs and he needs ever larger doses. And as a result, he becomes a drug addict, although he himself does not suspect it. Meanwhile, it is not removed from taking medications, but, on the contrary, is delayed. Not only that, after taking psychotropic drugs, a person does not belong to himself, as if zombified, but they also cause serious complications - diseases of the liver and kidneys. Metabolism is disturbed, immunity is reduced.

It is also very dangerous to prolong depression, especially if it is associated with resentment against a man, against a husband. I have long known that such an insult leads either to some kind of female pathology, for example, to infertility, or even to cancer, and also of a gynecological plan. Of course, it takes several months, and maybe even years, until this is discovered.

— What then to be treated, if not medicines?

- Psychotherapy, like all other areas of medicine, has risen to a new, higher level in recent years. Very effective methods have been developed that allow a person to take a different look at himself, at life, change the stereotypes of his thinking, attitude to the surrounding reality.

In order to cope with depression and the trail of diseases that trails behind it, it is necessary to find and eliminate its underlying causes, which the patient or patient, perhaps, no longer remembers. By the way, women are very receptive, it is easier to work with them than with men. They quickly understand what I expect from them, their eyes open, their mood immediately changes.

— How can you change your outlook on life if it keeps giving us unpleasant surprises?

Imagine a crystal vase. If a woman only sees that there is dirt in the vase, then she is depressed. And you need to help her admire this vase - how beautiful it is, what graceful edges, what a wonderful play of light. It is important to see joy in everything, and you will not become subject to any seasonal mood swings, you will constantly be in a state of inner comfort.

- You just talked about depression associated with resentment. If someone offended me greatly - how can I forget it?

- From resentment, a woman's heart is heavy. Where is she? As a rule, patients point to the area of the solar plexus. I invite them to sit back, relax, close their eyes and see their resentment inwardly. That is, mentally, as it were, launch a device into the place where it bubbles. At first the woman does not see anything, then some flashes. And after that, which is surprising even for me, spiritual heaviness is concretized in the form of a spot, a geometric figure, a ball. Very often, patients say that this ball consists of many internal balls, which means that resentments are layered one on top of the other. And when a woman sees the image of her resentment, concentrates her attention on it, this image dissolves and disappears completely. She tells me: how easy it became in my soul, I have not experienced such lightness for a long time.

- There are women who are constantly unlucky. Cheating husband, trouble at work, betrayed by a friend. He sits in the subway - there will definitely be a homeless person nearby or someone who is drunk will step on his foot, they will scold him. How can you not fall into despair, into depression?

- In such cases, I resort to the so-called "renaming technique". The fact is that in psychology, as well as in physics or chemistry, there are laws. And if, for example, a mother inspired a girl or she herself concluded that "all men are bad people and idiots," then such people will be attracted to her throughout her life. With this scourge, too, can be successfully dealt with.

It is necessary to mentally walk into the past, remember and frankly tell when men offended her. And it turns out that, say, even earlier, she constantly quarreled with her father. We get to the bottom of the fact that her first offender was a boy in kindergarten. After each such unpleasant event, a girl, a girl, then a woman unconsciously assigned negative diagnostic names to herself: "I am the one that Sasha offended, ... who is scolded by her father, ... who is going to be abandoned by her husband," and these accumulated in the subconscious. They now influence the attitude of those around her.

Then we remember: did she ever do something nice for her offenders? And after that I say: and now let's rename. Repeat after me: "I am the one who gave Sasha a soldier, ... who brought joy to her father, ... who bought her husband a laptop, and he was happy as a child."

See the difference? You branded yourselves with vicious names, but now you and I have uprooted them like weeds in a vegetable garden. You now have new, bright names, and all the bad things in your life are gone. After that, patients often call me: "It's some kind of miracle - my husband brought me flowers." Or - "The man who was my worst enemy suddenly smiled at me and spoke to me."

Spring depression and its causes. The article will give recommendations to men and women on possible ways to eliminate the resulting seasonal pathology.

Prevention

Spring depression is a condition that some people consider to be a minor problem. By itself, this mental disorder does not destroy a person's personality. However, with an irresponsible attitude towards your body, against the background of voiced emotional disharmony, such a serious disease as clinical depression can develop. To prevent this complication, it is necessary to understand all the intricacies of this affective disorder.

The depressed state in humans does not usually depend on seasonal changes in nature. However, there are factors provocateurs that together can cause despondency and outright apathy towards the entire surrounding reality.

These aggressors look like this in relation to the emotional state of people:

Complexes due to the figure. During the winter, many of us gain a couple of extra pounds, and sometimes much more. Some people, after the end of the cold period, realize with horror that their favorite dress or skirt simply no longer matches their new dimensions. In the cold season, everything is quite easy to hide behind immense sweaters and outerwear. However, in the spring, when the sun warmed up, this opportunity no longer exists. Because of this, even the very thought of exposing the body leads to a state of depression. And at the same time, excessive comparison of oneself with others can create a problem, which is more clearly noticeable when switching from large winter clothes to light ones.

Loneliness. As soon as the sun warms up, young and happy couples actively go for walks. Watching lovers is quite difficult if there is no soulmate. Especially if the age has already come to when they usually create families and have children. In addition, annoying relatives with the requirement to find “someone” for themselves as soon as possible exacerbate the problems.

Period "winter - spring". Seasonal changes do not always have a beneficial effect on the human psyche. The mood of some eccentrics can directly depend on the time of the year, which they have the pleasure of watching from the window of their home. There is such a contingent of people who like snow drifts, a series of fun holidays and other delights of the winter season. With the onset of spring, such fussy people literally become depressed.

Unstable weather conditions. The described time of the year is famous for its whims, when in March streams merrily run from melting snow, and in April - early May frosts can occur. All this is very individual, because a lot in this matter depends on where exactly the person lives. However, such vagaries of spring weather have a very negative effect not only on the physical condition of a person, but also on the balance of his nervous system.

lack of light. A short day and a long period of being in darkness in winter are not perceived by all people unambiguously. In this case, we will talk about the lack of the so-called vitamin D, which tends to be synthesized exclusively under the influence of sunlight. Consequently, with the beginning of spring, the previously mentioned lack of light begins to affect some persons.

Weakened immunity. In the summer, all points for the sale of vitamin products delight customers with their wide range of choices. During the whole winter, a person is deprived of such pleasure, which is in fact a vital necessity. Some people console themselves with the illusion that vegetables and fruits bought in supermarkets during the cold season will replace them with a full diet of nutrients. In most cases, in such places, imported goods are offered, which cannot replace domestic natural products. The result is a weakened immune system as a result of a lack of vitamins, trace elements and amino acids in the body.

Sedentary lifestyle. Some people will be horrified by the offer to go skiing or go with the children to build a snowman. For them, frost is the main reason for spending all their leisure time lying down with a cup of hot tea and under a warm blanket. During the cold period, they get so used to this way of life that with the advent of spring they do not want to rebuild and become depressed.

oxygen starvation. This reason for the onset of the described pathology directly depends on a sedentary lifestyle. Hypodynamia in the winter can play a cruel joke with any person. By refusing to be in the fresh air at this time, the reinsurer is automatically at risk of deterioration in the flow of metabolic processes in his brain.

Most of the voiced risk factors for the onset of the formation of spring depression directly depend on the person himself. Even the absence of natural, rather than synthetically grown fruits and vegetables in winter is no excuse for exposing your body to such stress. Technically correctly performed quick freezing of products useful for the body allows you to fully preserve the necessary substances in the product prepared in advance.

In order to have a clear idea of the problem that has arisen, it is necessary to know the enemy by sight. It is quite easy to identify signs of impending trouble if you make it a rule to listen carefully to your body.

Manifestations of spring depression in women

Psychologists insist on the fact that when talking about a voiced pathology, one should clearly distinguish between its symptoms, based on the gender issue. In the fair sex, the spring imbalance of the nervous system usually looks like this:

Increased irritability. If a woman did not initially position herself as a fully formed hysteric, then you should think about a sudden change in her behavior. Sometimes, with the arrival of the first spring warmth, yesterday's sweet and balanced person turns into a vixen with a bilious character, who is annoyed by literally everything.

Tears in three streams. This habit can be considered the norm if the manifestation of their emotions in this way does not prevent a woman from remaining a sane person. In the case of constant sobs for no reason, with the advent of spring, it is worth thinking about the seasonal psychological disorder that has arisen.

General weakness of the body. As already mentioned, during the winter period, the body of many people suffers from a lack of nutrients. However, much depends on the woman's immunity, which, without a voiced factor, could be initially weakened. An additional load in the cold season on an already affected organism leads to the lady's rapid fatigue.

alarm condition. Spring depression in women often provokes a persistent feeling of impending disaster. At the same time, it seems to wives that their husband is cheating on them, and mothers begin to take care of their children with special zeal. The phrases “let's make sure” and “no matter how hard it happens” become the hallmark of a woman who plunged into a depressive state in the spring.

Lowering self-esteem. Even a self-confident lady in the most unexpected way after the end of winter can turn into a person with obvious complexes. This is usually facilitated by the beginning of the development of spring depression, which provokes real or far-fetched physiological changes in a woman's appearance.

Sleep disturbance. In this case, it is necessary to focus on the factor that daylight hours tend to increase with the advent of spring. Groundhog Day, when it gets dark quite early in winter, comes to its logical conclusion. However, some of the fair sex cannot immediately adapt to such a change, after which their sleep-wake mode is disturbed.

Apathy. Symptoms of spring depression are very often determined precisely by this emotional state of a woman. A person who was once peppy in body and spirit becomes a lethargic and amorphous person who has ceased to be pleased with things that were once pleasant for her. In some cases, this factor is directly related to beriberi, but sometimes apathy is provoked by certain life situations.

Attention Disorders. During spring depression, especially sensitive females begin to soar in the clouds. At the same time, we are not talking about fabulous dreams and dreams of a handsome prince, but about elementary absent-mindedness. In this case, medical intervention cannot be avoided, because the voiced problem has gone too far.

recurring migraine. Changes in weather conditions very often have a tangible effect on women who have previously been subject to headache attacks. With sudden changes in atmospheric pressure, the described problem is significantly aggravated, adding seasonal depression to the lady's painful sensations.

Appetite disorder. A similar nuisance can happen to a woman at any time of the year. However, practice shows that it is in the spring that many of the fair sex begin to go to extremes regarding gastronomic addictions and reject them.

Dark thoughts. This problem is closely connected with the formed inferiority complex, which was formed in women with the onset of spring. Some especially suspicious natures imagine with horror that their other half will start looking at beauties who will take off their winter clothes and change into sexy outfits.

Overeating, increased appetite. Wanting to fill the void in the body due to a lack of vitamins or simply “seizing” their problems, women begin to actively absorb sweets, eat large portions, thereby plunging into a depressed state even more.

Closure. Against the background of their psychological problems, the desire to communicate with anyone completely disappears. Even the most active and cheerful ladies, immersed in their complexes, can become isolated and sit in confinement, not responding to the invitations of friends, trying to avoid noisy companies as much as possible.

A woman in a state of spring depression is not a comic book character, but a victim of temporary life circumstances. Prematurely and without a deep analysis, no specialist with a certain experience in this field will undertake to diagnose such persons.

Symptoms of spring depression in men

The strong half of humanity can also feel the full destructive power of seasonal affective disorder.

Unlike beautiful ladies, men feel the described pathology in a slightly different way, which most often manifests itself as follows:

The onset of chronic fatigue syndrome. A joking statement in the style that "work and horses die" ceases to be funny when there is spring depression in men. Workaholic men are absolutely indifferent to the time of the year that they see from the windows of their institutions. However, some record holders in a marathon of irrepressible activity are visited by despondency after the snow melts and the arrival of spring, which ultimately leads to spring depression.

Change in weight. Every man can lose weight or suddenly gain weight, regardless of the weather conditions. However, psychologists say that it is during the seasonal blues that the representatives of the stronger sex either begin to actively absorb a large amount of food, or completely refuse it.

Pain in the abdomen or back. Emotional experiences always negatively affect the functioning of the whole organism. Very often it looks like pain in the stomach and "shooting" in the back. With spring depression, such symptoms intensify, because beriberi provokes the development of an anxiety state even more. In addition, the deceptive weather during this period, which pleases us with the first rays of the sun, is rich in the main enemy of the back - drafts. As a result, a man has very significant pain, which only exacerbates the state of depression.

Overindulgence in bad habits. A breakdown after a long winter period is always accompanied by an alarming condition in which a man begins to smoke much more than usual. Some depressive individuals in the spring, falling into deep despondency, try to fight it with the most radical methods - alcohol. And the opportunity to get out into nature after hibernation, fry a barbecue or sit on a fishing trip only becomes an additional incentive to increase the amount of alcohol consumption.

erectile dysfunction. The general weakening of the body after winter does not have the best effect on the sexual activity of any man. At the same time, someone understands the entire short duration of the problem that has appeared, while someone falls into a persistent depression.

negative thoughts. Men are accustomed to consider themselves the head of the family and support for all its members. If, at the beginning of the spring blues, a self-confident person begins to have health problems, then depression cannot be avoided with this factor. Representatives of the stronger sex do not like to openly show their emotions, therefore they accumulate in themselves all the negative thoughts that have arisen.

Do not consider the voiced problem as a seasonal whim that you do not need to pay attention to. All neuroses once began with fairly innocent emotional experiences. When asked how to deal with spring depression, experts give fairly clear answers, which look like this:

Changing the routine of the day. Some people are used to staying up late at the computer or taking work home. As a result, they do not get enough sleep and feel overwhelmed throughout the day. Vitamin deficiency and improper planning of one's life can lead to the development of spring depression. At the same time, you should radically change your opinion about the correct daily routine, making serious adjustments to it. It is necessary to devote your free time to sports exercises and walks in the fresh air. Visiting entertainment complexes will also help to cope with the problem that has arisen in the form of seasonal blues.

Refusal of serious decisions. If a person begins to develop spring depression, then he cannot concentrate on important things. The most important projects and plans should be postponed for a while, because each mistake made later can aggravate the state of depression.

Purchasing a pet. If there is no allergy to animal hair, then psychologists advise using this recommendation. It is not necessary to buy the future pet of the whole family for fabulous money. Sometimes a purebred cat or dog can become such a devoted friend that there will be no trace of spring depression. If you do not want to get yourself an animal, you can buy aquarium fish, the contemplation of which has a rather beneficial effect on the nervous system.

Active communication with others. Loneliness is the main catalyst for the exacerbation of spring depression. It is necessary to devote as much free time as possible to joint leisure with your loved ones and friends. Sometimes even going to a nightclub and then not getting enough sleep can significantly boost the morale of a person who is affected by the seasonal blues.

Help for the needy. Before you create a “wailing wall” from your life, you need to look around and look at the problems of other people. After the analysis carried out, many unfortunate people will be amazed at the number of affected persons who fell into a much more deplorable situation. Helping such sufferers can nullify the exacerbation of spring depression in a suffering person.

More light. On a cloudy spring day, sometimes you just want to mope and hide from your inner circle. Lamps with high power will help dispel the depressive mood of this kind. In this case, it will be an artificial imitation of sunlight, but even it can significantly improve the mood of a person with a voiced problem.

Aromatic baths. In this regard, tangerine oil has proven itself well. If the first signs of spring depression begin to appear, it is worth trying to use this remedy. If it is not possible to purchase it, then coniferous and linden concentrates are quite suitable as an alternative.

Nice new clothes. If a person has become a victim of spring depression, then it is worth trying the voiced method. Even a purchased bright-colored plastic plate will visually please people who are in a state of seasonal blues. If funds allow, you can buy the thing that the sufferer has long liked.

Our ancestors said, do not wake famously while it is quiet. In order not to fall into the trap of seasonal depression and not become a hostage to a dangerous situation, you must adhere to the following rules:

Proper Diet. After hibernation, the body urgently needs the intake of those products that contain catalysts for the release of endorphins (hormones of joy). Such magic pills include nuts, bananas and chocolate in reasonable doses of its use. Do not forget about fruits and vegetables that can keep a person afloat after some restrictions during the winter period in his diet.

Taking a multivitamin. This recommendation is limited by the fact that it is necessary to implement it only after consulting with your therapist. Useful substances are beneficial only if they are not abused. Vitamin B9 (folic acid) can then be taken as a medicinal product or as a substitute such as lettuce, beans, liver and citrus fruits.

aromatherapy. Some pleasant smells in certain cases have relaxation properties. Essential oils based on the already voiced orange, juniper and cinnamon will be able to eliminate all the hardships of the past day for a person who cares about the proper functioning of his nervous system.

Active lifestyle. Experts recommend resorting to this method as a cardinal way to get rid of spring depression. Sports or just feasible physical activity can destroy in the bud any seasonal troubles with the emotional state of a person. Even simple walks around the city on sunny days or outings in nature can charge you with positive.

Communication with fun people. If you have friends who are able to cheer you up, you should definitely spend as much time with them as possible. In general, you should not withdraw into yourself, limit your communication. If you don't have real friends, you should start meeting new people. The same gym, swimming pool, new hobby will help with this.

New hobbies. To get rid of depression will help the search for yourself, a new "I", the study of unknown activities. These can be courses from professionals, a master class on the Internet. For example, photography, quilling or any other kind of handmade.

When asked how to get rid of spring depression, you need to rely solely on your intuition. Only in a particularly emergency situation will you need the help of a psychotherapist, because the voiced mental pathology is exclusively seasonal.

Sleep deprivation in depression

What to do with spring apathy?

spring depression- This is a mental disorder, which is characterized by three main manifestations: a decrease in mood, a loss of a sense of joy and a pessimistic assessment of current events. In the spring, it is often not depression itself, as people used to call it in everyday life, but a depressive state caused by psychological reasons. Depression itself, in the medical sense, refers to a severe mental illness that occurs due to biochemical changes in the human brain and needs serious, as well as prolonged treatment. In people, such conditions do not occur so often, and in such cases, one cannot do without the help of a psychiatrist or psychotherapist. The lack of timely treatment of depression in a person is fraught with serious consequences.

According to statistics, representatives of the fair sex are more susceptible to spring depression than men. But women who lead an active lifestyle suffer less from this condition than those who constantly spend days in the kitchen or are on maternity leave. It should be borne in mind that all age categories of women are subject to spring blues.

One of the reasons for this condition is the personal response of the individual to the impact of stress factors. In some cases, these stress factors are serious external influences: overload at work, mental trauma, changes in hormonal levels.

In other cases, spring depression is caused by a combination of causes, each of which is not capable of provoking depressive states on its own, but together they create an effect when everything annoys and does not please.

Causes of spring depression are caused by the following factors:

Lack of sunlight;

Lack of fresh air causing oxygen starvation and leading to hypoxia;

Lack of trace elements and a number of vitamins;

A sedentary lifestyle leading to physical inactivity, and the lack of movement and physical activity provokes the development of anhedonia;

Weakening of immunity due to malnutrition;

Hormonal restructuring of the body (every six months - in spring and autumn, the body is rebuilt for a new season, warmer or colder); without consequences, the restructuring of the body does not pass - it weakens. The female body is more sensitive to hormonal changes.

Women are capricious creatures. At first, they wait all winter for light and warmth, and with the advent of spring, they do not rejoice at its appearance, but fall into a strange state. Despondency, spleen, loss of strength, tearfulness, sad mood, melancholy - this is still an incomplete list of sensations that overtake women in the spring.

With the onset of spring, for some of the fair sex, it becomes simply unbearable to live, and women have “objective” reasons for this. In spring, the weather is not at all what it seemed in winter: either the sky is covered with clouds for weeks or it rains all day long. Your favorite skirt doesn't sit the same as it did last fall. The skin of the face is also not happy: it either peels off or shines and gapes with pores. The morning rise is given with difficulty, although outside the window birds chirp with spring trills. There are gloomy people in transport, irritable colleagues at work, and a furious boss. If a woman began to notice all of the listed signs around her, then she was overtaken by spring depression.

The signs of a spring depressive state are varied, but a decline in mental and physical strength is necessarily observed. You can also argue about spring depression if a woman has three or four of the following symptoms for a long time:

Bad mood;

No serious cause of tears;

physical weakness;

Feelings of restlessness, anxiety;

Feeling tired while doing familiar work;

Difficulties with concentration: it is difficult to understand what the hosts of analytical programs say, and complex texts are also difficult to comprehend;

Lack of desire to learn something new or work;

Headache;

Lack of appetite or a constant desire to absorb food (bulimia);

Negative thoughts.

Spring depression in women. what to do? If a woman has all of the listed symptoms, then it would be advisable to seek help from a psychotherapist or psychiatrist.

Often men do not talk about their problems, because in their understanding they pose a threat to their masculinity. Often, spring depression in men goes unnoticed for themselves and their relatives. This is a serious problem, because according to statistics, one in four men "torment" their family and themselves without receiving the necessary help and treatment.

Some scientists believe that this disorder in men may cause a decrease in the hormone testosterone, which affects mental well-being and physical health. In addition to mood changes in men, memory loss is also noted.

This disorder in men is not so often discussed in society and it often occurs in representatives of the strong half at the age of 55-60 years. It is connected not only with psychological problems, but also with endocrine ones, caused by a gradual decrease in testosterone production at this age.

Symptoms of spring depression most common in men:

Feeling tired;

Slowdown of movements, thought processes and speech;

Constant drowsiness or lack of sleep;

Changes in weight;

Pain in the abdomen or back;

Headache;

Indigestion;

Irritability and increased nervousness;

Difficulty concentrating;

negative thinking;

Staying in a prolonged stressful state;

Abuse of alcohol or drugs;

Erectile dysfunction;

Uncertainty and indecision in oneself;

Suicidal thoughts.

Spring depression in men significantly affects family relationships, study, career, nutrition and sleep, as well as general health.

Depressive states can occur in different forms. If a bad mood worries only a few days and does not have a long-term character, and there are very few pronounced symptoms, then any individual can cope with this condition without outside help. In severe cases, when you can not cope on your own, you should consult a doctor.

The following recommendations will help get rid of spring depression:

Daily walks in the fresh air;

Physical exercise;

Reception of vitamin complexes;

Compliance with a balanced diet;

Full day and night rest;

Staying at home and at work among bright objects, adding bright accents to the wardrobe;

Communication with friends, relatives, relatives;

Shopping is the best cure for boredom and despondency.

The main thing to remember is that, following all these rules, the spring depression will be easier to flow and will definitely end when the season changes.

Prevention of spring depression. Preventive measures in the fight against spring depressive states include the following recommendations:

The inclusion in the diet of foods that promote the formation of endorphins: nuts, bananas, chocolate in a small amount. Also useful are vegetables, fruits, which the body lacks in spring. It will not be superfluous to have a complete vitamin complex, which can be purchased at any pharmacy;

As a prophylactic once a week, aromatherapy using essential oils will be effective: patchouli, orange, juniper, cinnamon;

Herbal tea from chamomile with the use of tinctures of motherwort, peony evasive, valerian, hawthorn in equal proportions;

Do not put off healing from an unpleasant condition until later. By starting to act today, you can quickly get rid of the spring blues.

Many individuals, despite the approach of summer heat, complain of a bad mood in the spring.

There are many reasons why each of us feels irritable.

In most cases, the spring mood changes unexpectedly in the spring, and with it the plans.

This can negatively affect relationships with your beloved spouse, colleagues, friends.

It also happens that people have a good mood, which is caused by changes in nature. The bright sun, spring warmth cause positive emotions. Sometimes lifestyle changes.

Some begin to play sports in anticipation of the beach season, sign up for training courses, start spending more time outside the home and achieve long-term goals.

If every spring brings you a good spring mood - it's just wonderful. If not, this is an occasion to reflect and make changes in your own life.

Spring mood can be bad for a number of reasons. The first is hypovitaminosis. It affects all life processes of the body. Immune processes slow down.

At the same time, the body has to deal with seasonal respiratory diseases, which every spring deprive tens of thousands of people of working capacity.

The second factor is the lack of sunlight and changeable weather. This is another reason why we are in a bad mood in the spring.

Scientists have proven that a comfortable temperature, bright sun increase the production of endorphins - “hormones of joy”.

Spring warmth is often replaced by precipitation in the form of rain and snow, which makes many blues.

Scientists have proven that the food we eat affects our good mood. Unfortunately, spring food is not so rich in nutrients.

Many vegetables and fruits are brought from warmer countries. During transportation, they lose most of the nutrients necessary for the normal functioning of the body. This factor cannot but influence the spring mood.

Ways to deal with bad mood

A good mood in the spring is influenced by everything that a person does.

To enjoy the onset of the new season, to get rid of the blues, you need to rest more.

Usually, not many people have a vacation in the spring. The body gets tired of constant work.

Try to spend more time on sleep and entertainment. Remember that life is not only about work.

Spring is the time to take care of your health. Sign up for fitness classes to avoid blues and ensure good health.

Playing sports will change the appearance, lose weight. This will increase your self-esteem and allow you to conquer everyone with your beauty in the coming summer.

Chocolate has been proven to release endorphins, which provide a great mood.

Be sure to limit your fat intake. Bad habits have a bad effect on mood. Stop smoking and drinking alcohol.

A good mood will provide some interesting activity. Plan a trip to the place you dreamed of seeing.

For someone it will be St. Petersburg, and for someone the wild nature of Altai. Chat with friends and loved ones, read interesting books, spend your free time usefully, and you will forget about the spring blues.

Remember that everyone is the master of his own life, it largely depends on us how he will feel at any time of the year.

Spring- a wonderful time of the year when all nature wakes up and along with it there is a desire to love, please others and enjoy life. Even spring slush and dampness cannot spoil our mood. But there are categories of people for whom spring is a time of bad mood, unpleasant memories and a feeling of complete loneliness. In the spring, they experience depression and a drop in vitality, they suffer from a sense of hopelessness and fatigue from life.

World Health Organization compares spring depression with an epidemic that has engulfed humanity. Particularly susceptible to spring depression are women who cannot meet their soul mate and are busy looking for the reasons for their loneliness. They see all the problems in their lives and relationships with other people through the prism of their loneliness, happy women annoy them, they envy them and feel sorry for themselves. Work and life do not give them pleasure. Their only joy comes from food and chocolate. The result of such a mood is a gloomy and strained expression, an unattractive look that scares men.

Everyone knows that attract men- you have to look attractive. No matter how beautifully and elegantly a woman is dressed, the lack of a spark and loneliness in the eyes can only arouse interest in sexually horny men who want to get cheap female warmth for a short time. If a woman wants to find the man of her dreams, then you need to tune in to the spring mood. Every man dreams of meeting the one and only woman who is self-sufficient, cheerful and happy. Nobody wants to start a serious relationship with a woman who tries to solve her problems at the expense of others and suffers from low self-esteem.

According to doctors, the reasons bad mood in the spring are caused by the phenomenon of the "March cat" - due to the increase in the length of daylight hours, the concentration of sex hormones in the blood increases and, accordingly, sexual desire. Therefore, the problem of the absence of a partner in the spring is perceived especially acutely. In order not to fall into depression because of this, you do not need to fill your head with the problem of loneliness, but enjoy the awakening of nature and learn to control your emotions. A bad spring mood is a habit of seeing everything from the negative side. To improve your life, you just need to tune in to a wave of positive and start changing your outlook on life.

Not only single women feel a lack of warmth and attention in spring, even women who are happy in all at this time of the year may suddenly find that their life is unbearable and meaningless. The excess number of calories taken, the lack of constant attention from the partner, the monotony of relationships can cause spring blues in women. The attitude towards a partner in the spring changes especially strongly among selfish women who want to get the most out of life without giving anything in return.

Despite all the efforts of men women Those who love only themselves do not receive pleasure from life and feel complete emptiness. If a woman has the right attitude towards life and the people around her, then she never feels a sense of dissatisfaction with life. A woman who knows how to love and enjoy life does not try to make an offended face all the time in order to get more attention and care from a man. She knows the value of every moment spent next to her beloved man, and she herself adjusts to his mood.

To not give in spring mood, learn to control your emotions, believe in the best and find the positive in any situation. No one will bring you happiness on a plate with a blue border. Happiness is within every person. A man himself is the blacksmith of his own happiness, and it depends only on him what mood he will have on a sunny spring day. No need to constantly feel sorry for yourself and drive sad thoughts in a circle.

The main thing is not that you do not like and how you don't want to live, but what you want to achieve in your life. A bad spring mood is the result of an unwillingness to change in order to attract the attention of men. Set yourself a goal, even a small one to begin with, and take the first steps to get closer to it. If you lie on the couch and feel sorry for yourself unhappy, then spring every year will only spoil your mood, and will not become a wonderful time of love and romance. But if you are already unable to do anything with yourself and the spring sun only leads you to bad thoughts, then urgently seek the advice of a psychologist.

Spring only enhances character traits and behavior women. If you are a lover of doubts, fears, uncertainty and inaction, then spring should not be blamed for a bad mood. Look for the causes of depression within yourself and try to find ways out of this state.

Spring drops and streams, mimosas on the shelves, dazzling but not warming sun, unexpected frost, then rooks and snowdrops breaking out from under the dirty melted snow - that's right, it's all spring, it's about her, it's all for her now in nature. And it remains for a person to create and receive!

But we are also undergoing changes, controlled and uncontrollable, due to the change of the long-awaited winter.

How to meet spring with a good mood and not "catch" the spring blues. Now let's figure it out.

Welcome spring with good vibes

take complex vitamins;
increase the amount of fresh fruits and vegetables;
limit the intake of alcohol, nicotine;
carry out cosmetic procedures that restore the skin after prolonged exposure to cold weather;
walk more, sleep more, eat well.

And I want to add a little about dreams and plans. It is not worth waiting a few months before the onset of summer vacation if the need for rest is felt already now. Why not consider it as an option for body recovery rest in a sanatorium? Numerous plentiful meals, wellness procedures, pleasant communication, walks - in the rush of the city, people are unable to provide themselves with even a third of what sanatorium treatment offers.

It makes sense to divide the vacation and spend one part of it on the "spring holidays" in search and return of good mood and well-being.

No sleep, no rest on spring weekdays? Looking for time for myself!

If you still have to dream about rest, then your dreams should be positive! Let the working day remain eight hours, but the daylight hours have become much longer. So, you can take a walk after work, and not run home as soon as possible and start kitchen duties.

It is better to pick up the child from the garden and feel the spring with him, walk in the park, damp and saturated with spring smells, away from cars and hurrying people. Tell how happy and interesting your spring childhood was. But remember, for sure, there is something. And streams running along the house, and walks in the forest for snowdrops, and fresh birch sap - remembering everything that made us happy in childhood, we give ourselves one more chance to return there, at least in thoughts, but so pleasant and sweet.

Spring is the most ideal time for fresh knowledge, emotions and impressions. It is in the spring that you can start learn new things: sign up for driving courses, take lessons in landscape design, landscape drawing. Ahead, until October, there will be a lot of time to implement all the conceived and initiated plans. And they will bring much more pleasure.

There is a place for new sports in the spring, and it is no longer necessary to visit stuffy gyms. Rollers, skateboards, bikes! Finally, you can go with family and friends out of town, to the country, spend the weekend not at the TV under a blanket, but with a ball in the meadow.

Winter is good because it gives us the opportunity to read books, watch movies, do needlework, because the frost is not conducive to long walks. But winter is over! And it's time to change your hobbies to more mobile ones.

The spleen will definitely retreat, even if a third of the above induces someone to take action, she simply will not have a single chance.

Of course, not everything is in our hands. And not everything depends on spring or another season. A modern person bends under the weight of everyday life, the routine of operations performed by him at work and at home, suffers from a lack of time for himself and his loved ones.

And spring is just the time when, having reviewed our lives, we can change something with full confidence in success and a positive result. Spring changes nature, and at the same time it will change us!
