Condition Recently elections have been held in America. Donald Trump has won this election. On one hand, Trump’s supporters on social media are immersed in happiness. At the same time, after this election result, Trump’s opponents are full of sorrow and anger.
After the election results, Kamala Harris and Trump’s supporters were seen making lewd comments and irresponsible behavior at each other on social media. Many people do this on social media due to emotions.
When we are in control of our emotions instead of controlling them, we start overreacting. This situation harms our physical and mental health as well as our professional growth. Besides this, this situation also causes deep damage to the social fabric.

What is emotional imbalance?
Emotional imbalance means not being able to control your emotions. Lack of control over emotional impulses in a particular situation.
Sometimes we get very angry, and sometimes we suddenly become very sad. We also overreact on small things, which is harmful for our mental and physical health.
There are two types of overreactions –
Reactive overreaction – Reactive overreaction is a condition when you overreact to an event.
Compulsive overreaction – In the case of compulsive overreaction, there is no control over one’s reaction. Even without wanting to, you start reacting or behaving in a certain way.
Signs of emotional imbalance
Sometimes it happens that you feel too much love or anger, this is normal. This can happen to anyone. But how to know that someone is losing his emotional balance? He is going into a state of emotional imbalance.
To understand this, we talked to Dr. Satyakant Trivedi, a well-known psychiatrist from Bhopal. See some signs of emotional imbalance in the graphic below. If you see such signs within yourself or in someone around you, then it is possible that that person is suffering from emotional imbalance.
What are the side effects of emotional imbalance?
Suffering from emotional imbalance not only harms our physical and mental health but also harms our social connections.
tension in relationship
When we suffer from emotional imbalance, we get triggered by small things. In such a situation, resentment arises due to quarrels over every matter. Rifts arise in relationships. This stress can emotionally strain us and our loved ones.
Effect on mental and physical health
Constant stress and anxiety can lead to poor mental health. This can cause lack of sleep, headaches and even heart problems.
lack of confidence
Due to emotional imbalance a person’s self-confidence decreases. He starts feeling confused about his decisions and relationships. And because of this, many times he takes wrong decisions, which badly affects his personal relationships as well as social connections.
distance and isolation from society
Due to emotional imbalance, a person starts separating himself from the society. He starts distancing himself from friends and family. This has a negative impact on a person’s social life as well as mental health.
How to protect yourself from emotional imbalance?
Here we will discuss some important options to protect yourself from emotional imbalance. In this we will talk about how to understand your triggers, evaluate the situation and other methods.
First consider some of the suggestions given by the psychiatrist in the graphic below –
Identify your triggers
If we are repeatedly overreacting or losing our temper even over small things, then it is a danger sign. It means that everything is not well with us. In such a situation, we should pay attention to those things which make us emotionally unstable. We should pay attention to these things in advance and think of other options instead of overreacting in such a situation.
Calmly evaluate the situation
Usually overreaction is related to some deeper problem. Sometimes our overreaction may be linked to a past trauma. In such a situation, we should try to understand, accept and heal from this type of trauma.
Instead of reacting, respond
When you feel like overreacting, stop and think about what emotions are associated with the situation or event. Ask yourself, am I overreacting to something that happened in the past? Can I respond thoughtfully instead of overreacting? It is not in your hands to change the past, but it is in your hands to control your behavior in the present.
- Take a deep breath in case of overreaction.
- Repeat some sentence formations to yourself, like “I can deal with this better.”
- Before overreacting, imagine a better answer.
Practice Self-Compassion
Being compassionate toward ourselves can help us control overreactions. When emotions dominate us, many times we start cursing ourselves. If we learn from overreaction and react more intelligently next time, it helps in maintaining mental peace and balance. With this we can face situations in a more positive way.
