A minute drags on indefinitely, almost an eternity. The clock is ticking so loud that every sound is like a sledgehammer on the head. The walls of the apartment are gradually closing in, trying to crush you like a little bug. Heavy gabardines treacherously let a ray of light into a dull room, but you want darkness, darkness, emptiness … So that the room is like a soul! It doesn't work, someone is trying to pull you out of the cocoon of sadness. The ringing phone flew from the table to the floor - now is not the time for endless outpourings of the soul into the gurgling tube ending in sympathy on the other end of the line. Everything is against you, the world has decided to stand on the other side of the barricades! And then there are those traitorous tears pouring down from swollen eyes …"

"Be smart if you can, be kind if you want, but always be beautiful!" - such a will, according to an ancient legend, was left to his daughters by one of the wise men. It was not in vain that the ancient peoples endowed their gods with eternal youth: the idea of unfading physical beauty was associated with it. But since youth did not always guarantee external beauty, this was guessed thousands of years ago, then even the ancients had a natural desire to correct the gap allowed by nature. And the main tenet of life for the local beauties was the installation never to be upset, not to fall into despondency. Remember, whatever happens, everything is for the best. Bad mood is extra wrinkles. Therefore, away the longing-sadness! So that the skin is always clean, fresh, blush, it is desirable to get more joy, have fun, listen to good music, communicate with witty people.

In general, the ancient people, and even more so the Egyptians, were deep and subtle psychologists and healers not only of the body, but also of the soul. The stone wall inscriptions of Luxor and the tombs of the pharaohs, their wives and priests retained the classification of human experiences, including the "bad mood". According to the four elements - cold, heat, dryness and humidity, a bad mood is, respectively, "cold" (dullness, dullness, aloofness, orphanhood, etc.), "hot" (irritability, anger, tearfulness without tears, whining, self-deprecation, feeling of guilt, sadness), "dry" (the taste is lost, the appetite is reduced, insomnia, discomfort, "outflow of energy", "lethargy", "weakness", the feeling of guilt in all of its, so to speak, modes mentioned above, etc.). ")," wet "(tearfulness; eyes in a wet place, tearfulness - tears flow in streams for no reason, during the day the shirt is wet, and at night - a sheet). When the" bad mood "consists of various combinations such as" dry and cold ", "hot and wet", "cold and wet", "hot and dry", then the texts describing these conditions, firstly, classify them as a disease, and secondly, as a purely human condition (in animals, it was believed Egyptians, there is no "bad mood"). These states, inspired by the gods: evil or punishment. Hence, in addition to doctors, the patient should visit a priest or a clairvoyant, who will help to figure out who wronged him or for what punished.

In modern life, we only go to fortune-tellers to find out their fate, but we trust the luminaries of science to heal the body (and the spirit, at times). It is they who tell about the differences between ordinary sadness, which is today, and tomorrow ran to another person, from depression. These symptoms are as follows:

- a constant feeling of sadness, anxiety, emptiness;

- insomnia, especially early awakening, or increased drowsiness;

- a decrease in appetite and weight, or, conversely, an increase in appetite and, accordingly, weight;

- a decrease in interest in those activities that previously gave pleasure, including sex;

- anxiety, irritability;

- symptoms of physical distress that do not respond to treatment: headache, chronic pain or indigestion;

- Difficulty concentrating, remembering or making decisions;

Feeling tired or losing energy

- a feeling of guilt, one's own worthlessness and hopelessness;

- thoughts of death or suicide.

Even the enemy will not wish to become discouraged, so I will tell you how in almost a couple of tricks get rid of bad mood.

1. Sadness is not a disease and does not need medication treatment: as it came, it will go away. And the darkest clouds will certainly be replaced by the brightest blue sky with a gentle sun.

2. Sadness is afraid of passivity. Therefore, the right thing to do is done by those who lie down in a "bad mood", wait, close the windows and doors. I'll outlive you - a proper motto for dealing with a bad mood.

3. Bad mood is afraid of chance. The good news about the coming of spring, which was brought on the wings of a cute bird. A cute card with declarations of love, bored in your mailbox. A romantic melody flowing from the radio tuned to your favorite radio "Maximum" wave.

4. In no case try to dismiss the melancholy with strong drinks, be it coffee or wine. This is fraught with severe experiences of anxiety and mental stress and will not give anything - except perhaps a headache.

5. Pay attention to pets in a sad mood. Especially should be given the attention of cats. Mustache-striped "better" treat diseases of the nervous system than anyone else. By the way, aquarium fish also tend to soothe shattered nerves.

6. In a "bad mood" it is useful to read books, both women's novels that fill store shelves and poetry. Honor the classics. They also suffered like you!

7. Fear in the longing of silence! Don't forget to turn on the receiver. The beneficial influence of musical works on the human condition has been known since ancient times. In the III century BC, in the Parthian kingdom, with the help of specially selected melodies, they treated melancholy, nervous disorders and heart pains. If you have a headache and you are depressed, then, on the advice of Japanese doctors, you can listen to Mendelssohn's "Spring Song" as a "pill". Beethoven's works stimulate intellectual activity, support inspiration. This means that they provide the presence of a good mood. Bach's music gives a sense of peace, uplifts. Both classical music fans and experts find the most extraordinary effect in the music of Mozart. There is even a term - "Mozart effect".

8. And finally, even in a bad mood, life goes on!

By the way, to make the sadness recede away, eat right. Food also relieves blues, however, not all:

- Pamper yourself with pineapple, it is sometimes prescribed even for the treatment of disorders of the central nervous system. There are a lot of enzymes in it!

- Peanuts - contains thiamine - "vitamin of optimism". - Bananas - stimulate the production of serotonin, which is important for the normal functioning of the nervous system.

- Walnuts - they have a lot of iron, which is necessary for hematopoiesis, and therefore to maintain tone. In addition, nuts have a good dose of "antidepressant" magnesium.

- Cocoa and chocolate - they have a lot of magnesium. And a lack of magnesium can cause anxiety, stress, and then depression.

- Strawberries - a lot of vitamins for toning up + iron.

- Oatmeal is magnesium and thiamine - "vitamin of optimism".

- Sunflower seeds (sunflower) - not only does the monotonous process of husking itself soothe, but the trace elements contained in sunflower regulate the nervous system.

- Soy - high in magnesium.

- Oysters - zinc, which is contained in large quantities, has a positive effect on hormonal balance and, consequently, on the nervous system.

- Hazelnuts (hazelnuts) - contains magnesium.
