Identify with any of the aforementioned? Most of students, at some point or the other, are assailed by negative feelings and thoughts. However, trouble begins when this becomes a habit. Chronic negative emotions not only wreak havoc on one’s psyche, they also deplete your inner resources and make your body clinically weak.

A negative feeling is a combination of different emotions like fear, anxiety, panic and sadness. While most of us do get negative at times, more and more students are regularly lapsing into negative emotions. No one is born negative, but yes, often the traits are genetic or develop due to certain situations like repeated failure, trauma or an accident. According to psychiatrist the deficiency of neurotransmitters like serotonin and noradrenalin cause a person to think in a negative manner. Neurotransmitters inhibit or influence the activity of other cells. Science is yet to find out why, how and when this neurotransmitter deficiency occurs. Depending on the kind of negative emotions a person is going, he could suffer from several physical problems. When the negative emotions are one of excessive worrying, it results in diarrhea, belching, headaches, dizziness, breathlessness and chest pain.

Chronic negative emotions replete with fear or panic may result in depression, panic disorder or even obsessive-compulsive disorder. The other serious fallout is sleeplessness. As sleep is very rejuvenating, students suffering from inadequate sleep are less alert, more fatigued and more irritable. No wonder then that medical experts advise everyone to shun negativity at all cost.
