Each of us shows emotions to a greater or lesser extent. Some people are accustomed to taking it out on their family in the evening after psychological stress at work. This is called emotional release. But there are also more constructive ways to get rid of negativity, so as not to harm yourself and not spoil relationships with others. You shouldn’t hold back your emotions or “swallow” them either. Psychologists say that holding back emotions can cause personality disorders and serious health problems.

Definition of the concept and classification

The concept in question is the exact opposite of psycho-emotional stability. In the presence of this syndrome, the individual reacts inadequately to everyday stimuli. It is difficult for such an individual to concentrate on a specific task.

The fact that a person has stable emotionality may be indicated by such signs as:

• no feeling of causeless irritability;
• the ability to control your emotions;
• the ability to make decisions independently after thinking them through;
• lack of impulsiveness;
• ignoring minor problems and troubles.

People who are emotionally stable, interact normally with others, do not have a predisposition to affect, are able to work fruitfully, which is why they are excellent employees. Then, psycho-emotionally unstable individuals experience problems both when communicating with their close environment and at work due to the fact that any irritant reduces their performance.

Emotional instability is a psychological disorder that is manifested by mood swings, lack of self-control, impulsivity and other symptoms of emotional lability.

Emotionally volitional instability is a type of mental personality disorder, the main symptom of which is the presence of emotional instability. This disorder is characterized by the following symptoms:

• the presence of volitional disorders that lead to a lack of control over one’s emotions;
• the decision-making process is characterized by haste and imbalance;
• lack of thinking through possible consequences after making an incorrect decision;
• frequent outbursts of aggression and anger.

The appearance of even minimal trouble in life disrupts the rhythm of life, affects performance, reducing it if a person has instability of an emotional nature.

There are impulsive and borderline types of emotional instability.

1. The first is characterized by a tendency to impulsive actions, hasty conclusions, lack of thinking through consequences, and manifestations of rigidity and aggression.
2. The borderline state is characterized by a lack of stability of interests, the presence of strong unidirectional emotions, arrogance and impatience. In the borderline type, the following forms of this condition are noted:

• phobic - there is a variety of anxieties and fears;
• hysterical - the patient’s work in public is noted in order to dramatize their condition, the use of manipulation;
• pseudo depressive - a person does not perceive himself in the real world, is not able to give a correct assessment of his actions;
• obsessive - the individual is fixated on ensuring that no one finds out about his mental health problems;
• psychosomatic - there are complaints about problems in the functioning of the cardiovascular system or gastrointestinal tract (diagnoses are not confirmed during examination);
• psychotic - the most severe form of the borderline type. A person completely loses touch with the real world, he may be haunted by hallucinations, and he may direct his actions towards self-destruction.

Unbalanced person: examples of behavior

A few examples of behavior typical of an unbalanced person:

• At work, an employee was asked to complete a task that he found difficult. Not a trace remained of the employee’s good mood. He immediately began to be rude to clients and colleagues. As a result, after a couple of hours he freaked out and demonstratively tore up the incorrectly drawn up documents, simultaneously finding those to blame for the current situation;
• The girl heard rumors that her beloved guy was cheating on her. Not having waited until the end of the working day, in a fit of anger she comes to his work and causes a scandal there. At the same time, she is not stopped even by the fact that many strangers will look at her hysteria;
• A man's foot was accidentally stepped on on a bus. Instead of accepting the apology, he immediately begins accusing the other passenger of being clumsy.

Possible reasons

Frequent stress can lead to the development of emotional instability
Today, it is extremely difficult to identify the true cause that leads to the development of emotional instability. At the same time, there are certain factors that provoke the development of this deviation. Among them are:

• prolonged emotional and mental stress;
• increased nervous excitability;
• exposure to stress factors;
• improper upbringing, characterized by hypo- or hyper-custody of parents;
• the presence of psychological trauma, including violence of a psychological or physical nature, especially in childhood;
• consequences of malnutrition or lack of sleep;
• lack of a proper daily routine can lead to the development of instability of emotions;
• presence of psychasthenia;
• lack of vitamins or microelements necessary for the body, anemia;
• the presence of hormonal changes or pathological disruptions in the level of hormones in the body;
• various mental disorders, in particular bipolar disorders, depression, manic disorder, neurosis;
• a side effect of taking certain medications (in this case, the onset of emotional instability will coincide with the start of taking these medications);
• the presence of congenital defects of the nervous system;
• organic brain damage.

What is identification expressed in?

It is expressed in the instability of the representation of one’s personality. Variable assessment of one’s “I” is expressed in a constant change in life goals and professional skills. For example, a good-natured person asking for help for himself suddenly becomes angry and vindictive. At the same time, he always fights for the truth.

Although in most cases these individuals consider themselves evil and aggressive, and sometimes even think that they do not exist on this planet. This mainly manifests itself when a person does not feel his importance and support from the people around him.

Individuals susceptible to this disease are impulsive in circumstances involving risk. They can:

• get involved in gambling;
• not knowing how to account for money and spending it irresponsibly;
• eat a lot of food and not feel full;
• use psychotropic substances;
• change many sexual partners;
• take risks while driving a car.

Characteristic manifestations

Emotional instability can be expressed:

• affectivity - impulsiveness of an emotional nature, when an individual reacts sharply to the influence of any stimulus and cannot control himself;
• emotional swing - a state in which an individual changes his attitude and mood towards certain people in a short period of time and this happens repeatedly. A clear example is when a manipulator alternates his bad attitude with a good one - he can cause pain, offend, and then come with gifts and compliments.

The following symptoms may indicate the presence of psycho-emotional instability.

1. Lack of ability to keep your emotions under control. Such a person may begin to behave inappropriately in a situation in which another individual would react quite calmly and would not even attach any importance to it.
2. The presence of regular mood swings, for example, at a certain moment a person may experience excessive joy, which will be replaced by severe crying.
3. Serious difficulty concentrating. When an individual reacts sharply to everything that happens around him, it is extremely difficult for him to throw away all thoughts about various stimuli and concentrate on a specific task.
4. The presence of an impulsive decision that such an individual needs to make, usually hastily, without due consideration.
5. Excessive aggression, anger and irritability. If a person does not find understanding when communicating with his interlocutor, he may enter into conflict, lash out, speak rudely, and even resort to physical violence.
6. Increased tearfulness, often for no apparent reason. So even a burnt scrambled egg can cause tears in an emotionally unstable person.

The characteristic symptoms may differ and vary depending on what exactly triggered the development of this condition.

What to do if you are mentally unstable?

It is unlikely that you will be able to completely correct your unbalanced character. But if you follow a simple plan, emotional “explosions” can be reduced to a minimum:

1. Identify the causes of increased irritability and eliminate them. Perhaps you should think about a less stressful job or simply normalize your daily routine by starting to get better sleep;
2. Express your emotions correctly. For example, you should not suppress a sudden surge of anger towards a colleague who has created problems for you with his mistakes at work. Instead of accusing someone of being “crooked,” try expressing your feelings with subtle irony. Take a deep breath and say, “It sounds like you’re a pro at screwing up projects”;
3. Analyze your behavior, praising yourself for success and not scolding yourself for intemperance. It is best to write down on a piece of paper at the end of the day the moments in which you were able to overcome your anger, and at the same time came out of a problematic situation with dignity. But don't blame yourself for the fact that sometimes you still break down.

Communicating, working, and even more so living with an unbalanced person is not easy. He constantly loses his temper over every little thing, fusses when solving an important issue, and can sometimes be quite arrogant and selfish.

Diagnostics

1. Initially, when making a diagnosis, the specialist must observe how the patient behaves. This will allow him to identify deviations in thought processes, emotional perception, and detect certain signs of the disorder in question.
2. Differential diagnostics will also be carried out in order to exclude diseases with similar manifestations.
3. At the appointment, the patient will be asked to undergo certain tests to identify an accurate diagnosis and determine the degree of resistance:

• a questionnaire called the “Irritability Scale”, which was developed by Ilyin and Kovaleva;
• Smirnov’s method “Emotional excitability and stability”;
• Ilyin’s testing, focused on self-testing called “Characteristics of Emotionality.”

These questionnaires and tests help in making a diagnosis not only for psychologists and psychotherapists, but also for ordinary people unfamiliar with psychology.

Treatment

Psychotherapy is effective in normalizing emotional state

1. Initially, it is necessary to exclude life situations in which the individual expresses his emotions. That is, it is necessary to exclude negative events that lead to emotional stress.
2. The medications prescribed by the doctor, necessary to normalize the condition, will directly depend on the reasons that influenced the development of emotional instability. These may be the means needed to treat chronic fatigue, normalize hormonal levels, or to provide and replenish missing microelements and vitamins in the body. Among the medications, antipsychotics can be prescribed (help resist impulsive outbursts), antidepressants (effective in combating anxiety), mood stabilizers (improve the condition, help establish relationships with people around you).
3. Massage courses and physical therapy may also be prescribed. Dancing, yoga, swimming, and aromatherapy may be recommended.
4. For individuals with emotional instability, nutritional correction is recommended. Particular attention should be paid to fruits and vegetables, fermented milk and dairy products, and fish with a high content of fatty acids.
5. Normalizing sleep is also of great importance. Especially if this factor occurred in your case.
6. Psychotherapy is also important. So, if the patient has an impulsive type of emotional instability, then medications will be prescribed at the same time to eliminate sudden impulsive actions. If the borderline type, then psychotherapy will be aimed at returning the individual to his habitat, normalizing relationships with people around him, and stabilizing the manifestations of emotions.
7. A change of environment may also be recommended in order to normalize the emotional background. This could be a trip to a sanatorium, or a trip to another country.

Emotional instability

Emotional instability is a deviation or problem of a psychological nature, manifested in mood swings, poor self-control, impulsiveness, impulsive actions, as well as other signs of emotional lability.

In other words, this is a state that is the opposite of psycho-emotional stability. A psycho-emotionally unstable person reacts inadequately to everyday stimuli. Emotionally labile people find it difficult to concentrate.

Any even minor trouble for emotionally unstable individuals can disrupt the usual rhythm of life and impair performance.

What it is

Emotional stability is considered a normal state of the human psyche. It is characterized by an adequate response to external stimuli.

In other words, we can talk about emotional stability when the psycho-emotional reactions of individuals correspond to the level of seriousness of the threat or problem. So, for example, an emotionally stable subject will not start crying because of a burnt scrambled egg.

In an emotionally stable individual, strong emotions give rise to serious situations, for example, the loss of a loved one.

The ability to manage your own emotional response is negatively affected by stress, psycho-emotional fatigue, and hormonal changes.

Emotionally stable individuals have the following characteristics:

– do not feel causeless irritability;

– can control their own emotions;

– able to make thoughtful decisions;

– lack of impulsiveness;

– ignore minor troubles.

Thanks to the listed characteristics, people with a stable psyche are pleasant in communication, not prone to emotions, and are excellent workers, since minor difficulties do not affect their ability to make competent decisions, concentrate and work fruitfully.

Emotional instability is the opposite state of psycho-emotional stability.

A psycho-emotionally unstable person is characterized by an inadequate response to everyday stimuli. He has difficulty concentrating; any minor problem can disrupt his usual way of being and reduce his performance.

Emotional instability is characterized by increased irritability, spontaneous attacks of anger, and frequent unconscious mood swings.

Causes of emotional instability

The instability of emotions cannot be attributed to diseases. It is a deviation of a personal nature, revealed in a frantic emotional outburst.

A person suffering from the type of disorder described is characterized by mood swings, irritability, impatience, and, in some situations, aggressiveness.

They acutely perceive the slightest criticism from those around them; it is difficult for them to perceive other people's opinions.

To this day, it is quite difficult to determine the true factor responsible for the emergence of emotional instability. However, today we can identify several reasons that directly provoke the onset of the analyzed deviation, namely:

– psychological trauma;

– hypo- or hyperprotection of relatives;

– constant exposure to stressors;

– persistent overstrain of an emotional nature;

– chronic fatigue due to lack of sleep, malnutrition, improper routine;

– psychasthenia;

– deficiency of nutrients in the body;

– hormonal disruptions or changes;

– mental disorders: depressive states, neuroses, bipolar disorder, manic disorder;

– influence of character accentuations;

– side effects of certain medications;

– congenital defects of the nervous system.

Also, emotional instability in women can often occur at a certain stage of the menstrual cycle or be a consequence of the approach of menopause. This condition is transient and can be treated with specialized pharmacopoeial drugs aimed at normalizing the ratio of hormones.

In addition, emotional instability may be a consequence of the presence of the following somatic disorders, such as: vascular diseases, hypotension, hypertension, brain tumors, diabetes mellitus, brain injuries. Here, instability of emotions should be considered as a symptom of an underlying illness.

It is also possible to identify factors that aggravate psycho-emotional lability. Emotional instability is enhanced by lack of sleep, malnutrition or poor quality nutrition, stress, lack of rest, deterioration of well-being, psycho-emotional shocks, being in uncomfortable conditions, a turbulent environment, forced interaction with individuals who cause antipathy.

Symptoms of emotional instability

Emotional instability comes in two varieties: impulsive and borderline. The borderline type is characterized by a fairly developed imagination, excessive impressionability, mobility of perception, inability to adequately perceive everyday difficulties, and affective lability. Any obstacle in the path of such people is perceived by them as painful and unhealthy.

This condition is also called unstable psychopathy. It borders on schizophrenia. Mental lability of the type under consideration arises in puberty. Since this particular period is characterized by the prevalence of one’s own desires over generally accepted behavioral norms.

The emotional instability of adolescents here is found in restlessness, mood swings, frustration and inattention. A person with an emotionally labile disorder of this type often cannot adequately perceive life’s trials.

Therefore, often these features of the attitude towards existence lead individuals to alcoholism or drug addiction, and can also push them to crime. Persons with this type of deviation have a highly developed sense of attachment, which gives rise to a lack of independence.

Such people tend to blackmail loved ones with their own suicide. They are quite confrontational and love to make scandals out of jealousy.

People with emotionally unstable impulsive type disorders are characterized by excessive excitability. Emotional instability in a child here is characterized by childish capriciousness and touchiness. Such kids are prone to hysterics and aggression. Adults, in addition to the above symptoms, are characterized by promiscuity and high sexual activity.

Such individuals often engage in public emotional acts, which are often accompanied by outbursts of rage.

People around them are afraid of such behavior; they lack understanding of the actions of individuals suffering from lability of emotions. Therefore, they strive to minimize interaction with such individuals. Individuals suffering from the described type of deviation are distinguished by their uncompromising and cruelty.

People with emotional lability are characterized by impaired self-esteem and the inability to build adequate relationships with society. They feel loneliness, as a result of which they make frantic attempts to avoid it. They are characterized by sudden mood swings. Such people feel a pervasive fear due to the need to make adjustments to their plans.

Diagnostics

Diagnosis of the disorder described should be carried out by a certified psychiatrist. In order to assess the condition of an individual, first of all, the specialist observes the behavioral patterns of the patients. This makes it possible to detect specific deviations in emotional perception, thought processes, as well as identify a number of other signs of the disorder.

A differential examination of the pathology in question is carried out in order to distinguish emotional lability from other organic disorders accompanied by a similar or identical clinic.

In addition, the diagnosis of emotional instability depends on its type. A diagnostic examination of an emotionally unstable disorder of the borderline type begins with an anamnesis, since persons with this type of deviation are characterized by a lack of understanding of themselves.

They lack a sense of their own “I”, which leads to the inability to identify their true desires. Such people are prone to chaotic relationships; they constantly change intimate partners. Such individuals try to direct all their efforts to avoid loneliness.

They are prone to suicidal behavior because they invariably feel emptiness and a sense of uselessness.

The impulsive type is characterized by the following manifestations. Patients with emotional instability tend to commit sudden actions. They do not take into account the possible consequences of their own actions.

Relationships with the environment are built on the basis of confrontation. There is anger and a tendency to violence. Such patients require immediate encouragement for their own actions, otherwise things will not be completed. Unstable mood is accompanied by constant whims.

It is unpleasant and difficult to be around such persons.

In order to diagnose the described disorder, the following characteristics must be present:

– pronounced impulsiveness;

– mood instability;

– reduced ability to plan and take into account the consequences of one’s own actions;

– lack of self-control;

– outbursts of angry affect as a response to prohibitions and condemnation.

Treatment

Before proceeding with corrective action, it is necessary to determine the factors that gave rise to the deviation in question. If emotional lability is provoked by a somatic illness, then therapy for the manifestations of the deviation should be carried out in conjunction with the correction of the underlying illness. Also, the therapeutic effect is determined by the type of deviation.

Correction of the impulsive type involves conducting psychotherapeutic sessions and prescribing medications aimed at pacifying impulsive states.

Borderline therapy also includes psychotherapy, which is aimed at returning the individual to his actual environment, developing the ability to withstand stressors, improving relationships with the environment, and stabilizing emotional manifestations.

In addition, medium-intensity physical activity, such as swimming, yoga, Pilates, dancing in combination with the administration of various methods aimed at relaxation, including contrast showers, aromatherapy, walking, massage, will help correct the instability of emotional manifestations.

It is also recommended to exclude situations that provoke activation of emotions. In other words, you should try to avoid interaction with unpleasant people, conflict situations, and nervous planning meetings at work.

In addition, the prescription of various biologically active drugs is practiced.

They help relieve fatigue, restore normal hormonal levels, and supply the body with necessary substances.

A change of environment is also considered useful; for example, a sanatorium stay, a trip to the countryside or out of town will have a beneficial effect on the stability of the emotional background.

Individuals suffering from instability of emotions, regardless of the etiological factor, are advised to get a full night's sleep.

It is also recommended to adjust nutrition, which plays a critical role in regulating emotional background. Therefore, you should include vegetables in your daily diet, diversify your diet with fruits and fermented milk products, and enrich it with foods containing large quantities of omega-3 fatty acids.

Treatment of emotional instability with pharmacopoeial drugs includes the prescription of antipsychotics (eliminating impulsive outbursts), antidepressants (fighting anxiety), mood stabilizers (helping to improve the condition, helping to establish relationships with the environment).

Emotional instability

Each of us shows emotions to a greater or lesser extent. Some people are accustomed to taking it out on their family in the evening after psychological stress at work. This is called emotional release.

But there are also more constructive ways to get rid of negativity, so as not to harm yourself and not spoil relationships with others. You shouldn’t hold back your emotions or “swallow” them either.

Psychologists say that holding back emotions can cause personality disorders and serious health problems.

When to worry

Emotional instability is not a disease in most cases. It is characterized by the following manifestations:

• excessive irritability (“crazy” over trifles)
• outbursts (state of passion)
• mood swings, sometimes for no apparent reason, often unconscious
• low level of control over one's feelings and behavior

These manifestations in most cases have no connection with stress factors or weather changes. People who observe an emotionally unstable person seem to have a lack of self-control.

With emotional instability, a person tries to find a “hook” that will allow them to throw out their emotions.

They have a negative attitude towards criticism, do not tolerate objections, do not try to respect and accept other people's opinions, always insisting on their own.

Types and symptoms

There are two types of emotional instability (instability):

The first of these is characterized by the following factors:

• wild, developed imagination
• cognitive mobility
• excessive impressionability
• affective lability
• painful perception of obstacles encountered on the way to achieving goals
• painful perception of one’s own failures, mistakes, “failures”
• stress due to an exaggerated perception of what is happening

This is an unstable psychopathy that borders on a mental illness such as schizophrenia. The borderline type of emotional instability is formed during puberty.

At this age, desires prevail over the rules and prohibitions that are established in society and in a particular family or environment of the child. Teenagers with this type of emotional instability are characterized by restlessness.

Their mood is subject to changes, which can lead to frustration and inattention (both at school and when spending free time, on the roads, at home, etc.).

People with a borderline type of emotional instability have a weakness for the challenges that meet them on the path of life. They have disturbances in self-identification. That’s why people with such a character often become drunkards, start taking various drugs, and break the law. In rare cases, they may develop hysteria or depression.

People with borderline emotional instability can become attached to another person in a short time. Therefore, their personality does not have such a quality as independence. Their behavior can be characterized by suicidal blackmail, conflicts with others, causeless jealousy in all its various manifestations, etc.

People with an impulsive type of emotional instability are overly excitable. Irritating factors greatly affect them. Such people believe that the world (nature/fate/those around them) is set against them (“everything is for my evil!”). Children with this type of emotional instability are characterized by the following qualities :

If a person with such a character fails to take a leadership position, he begins to withdraw into himself and shows anger towards others. Such a person often commits public, demonstrative, affective acts and often gets angry. He is characterized by fits of rage, in which he can cause moral and physical harm to others.

Others cannot understand and accept this behavior and are isolated from a person with an impulsive type of emotional instability. The situation is only getting worse. The personality becomes cruel, cannot and does not want to make concessions. It is extremely difficult to build a dialogue with such a person.

Causes

Typical causes of human emotional instability:

• long lasting emotional stress

It, in turn, can be caused by:

– psychological trauma

– constant failures in life and stress

– excess or, conversely, lack of attention from other people

– constant prohibitions from parents, too strict upbringing or, conversely, permissiveness

• somatic disorders

These disorders may have the following causes:

– deficiency of certain vitamins and minerals in the body (children begin to study poorly, become inattentive, and behave excessively emotionally)

– imbalance of hormones (this occurs in many women, the reasons may be different)

– changes in the balance of hormones associated with age (recorded in women over 40 years old, associated with menopause)

If the reason belongs to the first group described above, you need to see a psychotherapist or psychologist. If emotional instability is caused by some reason from the second group, you need to add the missing component (vitamin, etc.) to the diet.

Parents often do not expect how their child’s behavior and grades at school will change when they begin to give him vitamins and minerals to normalize the functioning of the nervous system or phytoextracts. Normalizing the balance of vitamins and hormones in the body also causes an improvement in self-esteem.

How to treat

Firstly, it is necessary to exclude situations in which a person will activate his emotions. That is, at work you need to avoid nervous planning meetings and reports, communicating with unpleasant people, etc.

Secondly, you can ask your doctor to consider prescribing dietary supplements that will help the nervous system get in order, relieve constant fatigue, restore normal hormone levels and provide the body with the necessary nutrients.

If you have recorded manifestations of emotional instability in yourself, you can try to change the environment, go on vacation (even for a few days) to a sanatorium or just to a dacha outside the city. Residents of megacities periodically need a break from the frantic pace of the city. Forget for a while that you have problems, responsibilities and urgent tasks.

Try to allocate free time for:

• massage course
• a trip to the spa (it’s better to have several sessions)
• physical activity of various types (which will also be emotionally pleasant)
• dancing
• yoga
• swimming

Today there are many trainings in art therapy. Without leaving your home, you can treat yourself to an aromatherapy session. There are many text and video tutorials on this topic on the Internet. You can buy aroma oil at your nearest pharmacy.

This can be essential oil of Siberian pine, eucalyptus, mint, tea tree. There are also combinations of oils designed specifically for emotional relief and relaxation. There should be more than one aromatherapy session, although the effect will be felt immediately.

The doctor may also prescribe vitamin-mineral complexes based on herbal components:

• metabolight
• immuniTone
• abiVit
• reFlora, etc.

Emotional instability in women

In cases where emotional instability is a consequence of a certain stage of the menstrual cycle, or a consequence of the approach of menopause, you need to pay attention to hormones. We recommend such preparations as FemiNorm and FemiTon on a natural basis. They normalize the ratio of hormones in the female body.

How to communicate with a woman/girl during PMS

If you know that your girlfriend or wife will soon begin her period, this explains her emotional instability. If you adhere to simple rules of communication, you will save your relationship and your nerves.

First of all, there is no need to tell her about her instability these days. This will cause resentment, misunderstanding, or anger. If you've made your own observations and come to your own conclusions, that's great.

But you shouldn’t tell a woman about them during the PMS period.

Second rule: be patient. An explosion of emotions can follow from the influence of any factor, any little thing. It's better not to argue if you don't want major scandals. Step back and reschedule this conversation for another day.

If you feel that communicating with a woman during PMS period makes you angry or irritated, try to breathe as deeply as possible and count to 10 before you want to be rude or use physical force.

It is possible that in 5 minutes your girlfriend or wife will already become cute and fluffy.

Third rule: listen to her, even if she says nonsense. Often women, feeling bad, try to speak in order to throw out emotions. And this speech should be perceived precisely from this side, and not as carrying some valuable information.

Fourth rule: do not take to heart what a girl/woman says in PMS. Often, as a result of the action of hormones, a girl begins to offend or insult others, which she later regrets. So, if insults on her part begin, it is better, again, to postpone the argument or showdown until another day.

You need to be prepared for extremes. Remember situations when you felt bad and lashed out at others. It doesn't matter whether it was caused by psychological or physical problems. In any case, we are all not without sin, and often in communication we do not control ourselves or do not realize the consequences of what is said. Try to get into her position.

If you realize that you or a loved one has long-term emotional instability, and the treatment methods described above do not help, contact a therapist, psychologist or psychotherapist. Patience and health to you!
