Qiu Xiaobai opened the link to the article of the Buddhist girl HW again, and found that she had released a new work.
[How to quit sleeping pills]
Today, we are talking about the topic of those friends who have severe insomnia, can they not take sleeping pills? In other words, can sleeping pills completely solve the problem of insomnia?
Because insomnia, I am a person from the past, and according to my experience, although sleeping pills can have a calming effect, there will also be some bad aspects.
Sleep is best natural sleep, and the effect of drugs on sleep is called forced sleep. The purpose of sleep is to eliminate fatigue and restore physical strength, and drugs force sleep, which destroys sleep. First, taking sleeping pills for a long time will cause some residual effects of the drug to occur the day after taking the drug, such as drowsiness, difficulty concentrating, headache, and dizziness. Second, it is easy to become addicted, and patients will show withdrawal symptoms, such as palpitation, chest tightness, dry mouth, dizziness, sweating, abdominal pain, restlessness, etc. The dose of sleeping pills will be higher and larger, which will not only cause people to be poisoned, but also the thoughts of the whole brain will be extremely confused, so it is easy to appear autism, low self-esteem, and unwillingness to deal with others, which will induce depression. That is, when we use sleeping pills, it is very easy to develop into depression. Another side effect of this sleeping pill is dependence, which is that once we eat it, it is difficult for us to throw it away, and if you don't eat it one day, you will be very anxious and nervous, and you will not be able to sleep at all. Even if you take sleeping pills, it is a lethargy phenomenon of drug reaction, not real soothing sleep, so in this way, it will not completely solve the problem of insomnia, but will cause depression.
After experimental investigations, those who have insomnia and take sleeping pills have a very low chance of getting better. Indeed, some people shared that after taking sleeping pills for a few months, insomnia also improved, but the rate of this situation is very low, probably not more than 5%.
And it may take months, if not years, to get better. So is such a person really good by taking sleeping pills? Not necessarily, although he took sleeping pills, his real improvement may have a lot to do with the influence of his living environment, that is to say, he may take sleeping pills for several months or even years, but if he does not take sleeping pills according to our instructions, he may be completely well in months or even weeks.
Therefore, it is best not to use sleeping pills for people with insomnia symptoms, but through psychological adjustment, cognitive behavioral therapy through learning our sleep counseling, which is the root of our insomnia. Because we have insomnia, it is because of our physical and mental tension, because we have accumulated some wrong cognitive behaviors, its essence is psychological problems, and through psychological adjustment can solve the fundamental problems.
So if we are already using sleeping pills, we must quit this western medicine, because we have been using sleeping pills, then we have always been sick in our consciousness, and then in our subconscious we have always had the obsessive-compulsive psychology of seeking sleep and chasing sleep. And these are precisely the biggest obstacles to our psychological adjustment treatment, so in order to make our insomnia and depression completely better, we must quit sleeping pills.
If you want to quit sleeping pills, today I will give you a small suggestion, we can quit sleeping pills by gradually reducing the dose. After psychological self-regulation, the dosage of this sleeping pill was directly reduced by 1/2 in about a week. In about two weeks, 2/3 of the total amount will be directly reduced, and this western medicine will be completely thrown away in about three weeks.
Because some friends are dependent on him, it may cause him to be unable to sleep when he is completely lost, what should he do at this time? This time is precisely a critical period of our intentions through self-psychological adjustment, and we ourselves have to eliminate our anxiety and tension by actively waking up and sleeping, so this moment when we can't sleep is a critical period for our intentions.
So first of all, we must not be afraid, we must be confident that we can completely defeat drug dependence!
Don't speculate, for example, will I not sleep all the time affect our body? It's all your own delusion, it's not real, and you have to remember that as long as you insist on relaxing, nothing is going on.
Of course, at the last moment of abstinence, no matter what symptoms occur in our body, we must use perseverance to overcome it and bravely accept it.
I remember we used to watch some opium smokers on that TV, and they quit opium by tying those people to their beds hand and foot, and that person was there all night howling and screaming, and it was very painful. That time passed, and the next day was all right. Its psychological dependence is insignificant in front of our lives, and our lives themselves are a natural law with a powerful self-healing function.
Of course, this sleeping pill is actually far less dependent than opium, and it may have less than 1% effect compared to those opiums. It only needs that we have the confidence to be able to overcome it, and it really has no problem, and you just need to believe what the teacher says, and you will definitely be able to do it.
Another point is that during this period of continuous reduction of sleeping pills, that is, the first three weeks of reduction, Chinese medicine can be used to replace Western medicine to help quit Western medicine, Chinese medicine does not carry any dependence, and it is easier to quit all drugs in the end.
In the end, only when we have cut off all the medicines, can we truly be free in body and mind, and that is the real healing.

After Qiu Xiaobai finished reading it, he also felt that this article was particularly suitable for GOLAY, and he didn't know if he could get a good night's sleep today, Qiu Xiaobai thought about it and fell asleep with his mobile phone.
Early the next morning, Qiu Xiaobai opened his eyes and looked around, only to find that Yi Xuan was gone.
Qiu Xiaobai rubbed his eyes, got out of bed and prepared to freshen up. Ten minutes later, Qiu Xiaobai had already changed his clothes and painted a simple makeup. She walked out of the bathroom and saw Yi Xuan sitting in the living room.
"Let's go." Yi Xuan said leisurely.
"Why are you going?" Qiu Xiaobai said confusedly.
"Go to the hospital." Yi Xuan sat up from the couch.
"Oh, didn't you say no?"
"I said, if you don't go, I'll leave if you don't go." Yi Xuan patted Qiu Xiaobai's shoulder.
"Let's go." Qiu Xiaobai followed behind her and walked with her.
The two of them came to the hospital together.
"Did Auntie have surgery?" Qiu Xiaobai grabbed Wan Feng's arm and asked.
"Surgery at half past eight, this will just be signed the agreement, and the person has already entered the operating room." After Wan Feng finished speaking, he glanced at Yi Xuan beside Qiu Xiaobai. "Why are you here?"
