Nervous Exhaustion & Overactivity
Suffering from nervous exhaustion means being almost constantly under tension. This often groundless excitement accompanies some people permanently, while for others it only appears now and then. The intensity of the unpleasant tension varies from person to person. Those affected describe the condition as "as if their nerves were on edge. The inner pressure is perceived as very stressful and sometimes as hopeless. The necessary calm and composure are lacking in communication with other people and in daily activities. In addition, there are often physical complaints such as sweating, palpitations or trembling.
Symptoms
What To Expect
Nervous exhaustion is experienced differently in its intensity by each person. Above all, the condition is characterized by the inability to relax. This strong nervousness can be a continuous companion or only occur from time to time. Often it does not remain only with the mental tension. Physical symptoms may also occur: sweating, palpitations, trembling, dizziness, lightheadedness and feelings of weakness. If the inner restlessness is perceived more as anxiety, this can also manifest itself in breathing difficulties, feelings of anxiety, hot flashes or nausea.
Made Worse By
Often there are easily understandable reasons for nervous exhaustion, such as exam nerves or stage fright. Sometimes it's simply due to overindulging in coffee. Similarly, unusually stressful life situations such as separations, job-related stress or the death of a loved one can cause a temporary inability to relax. But serious illnesses also lead to inner restlessness. Consuming coffee, nicotine or alcohol can extremely worsen the state of nervous exhaustion.
Diagnosed By
Anyone who permanently suffers from nervous exhaustion should talk to a doctor about their complaints. This also applies if even relaxation exercises or calming teas are unable to combat the inner imbalance. If other symptoms are also present, for example depression or high blood pressure, then a medical clarification of the causes is also recommended. Nervous exhaustion can be an indication of various physical and also psychological illnesses. Therefore, the doctor will get a thorough picture of the patient's complaints in a detailed consultation.
