"The psychological disorders we experience at this time, such as mental tension, depression, and psychological conflicts, if they persist for a relatively long time, will inevitably lead to organic lesions in our bodies, and we will become ill.". So, how should we deal with stress? Research by psychologists has shown that social support coping can greatly help with stress.
As the name implies, social support is the emotional care and support we feel in life from others. Research has confirmed that the more social support people receive, the better their physical and mental health. "Because social support has an impact on our immune system by reducing stress, taking anti-inflammatory diseases as an example, more social support is beneficial for generating more white blood cells to clear inflammation.". These are confirmed through research.
It is inevitable to encounter such difficulties in our lives, and no one's life will always be smooth sailing. When we are under pressure, it is advisable to actively seek support from relatives and friends around us. For example, if you just broke up in love, or something serious happens at home, social support can come into play. On the one hand, it helps people to make difficulties less serious because everyone is willing to help you; On the other hand, even if you think this matter has caused great pressure on you, social support can also help you cope. For example, if you make a mistake at work, and have close friends around to support you and give you some good advice, you will feel much better.
The so-called "body and mind" means that physiology and psychology are an inseparable whole. There are many diseases that can be caused by psychological factors, including hypertension, heart disease, ulcers, and even cancer. And these psychological related diseases often occur due to stress or emotional reactions. Psychologists remind that good social relationships can help cope with stress and contribute to physical and mental health.
No one can become an island. Research has found that people who lack social connections and crave friendship have significantly higher blood pressure than those with good social connections. Therefore, maintaining a good social relationship around us and actively seeking some social support when experiencing stress and frustration can not only make our mood happy, but also, more importantly, avoid the damage to health caused by persistent negative emotions.
