A Common Sign Of AnAnxiety Disorder
焦慮症的一種常見症狀
Repetitive negativethoughts often have a common cause.
反覆出現消極想法通常有一個共同原因。
Taking too muchpersonal responsibility and blaming oneself are both strongly linked to anxietydisorders, new research finds.
新的研究發現，承擔過多的個人責任和自責都與焦慮症密切相關。
People who take toomuch responsibility are more likely to develop Generalised Anxiety Disorder(GAD) and/or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
承擔過多責任的人更有可能發展為廣泛性焦慮症(GAD)和/或強迫症(OCD)。
Anxious people oftenstrongly agree with statements like:
焦慮的人通常會非常贊同這樣的說法：
I must always thinkthrough the consequences of even the smallest actions.
即使是微不足道的事情，我也必須經常考慮後果。
I am too sensitiveto feeling responsible for things going wrong.
我很敏感，不會覺得自己對事情出錯負有責任。
Understanding thatanxiety can spring from taking too much responsibility can help people dealwith their emotions.
理解焦慮會因為承擔過多的責任而產生，可以幫助人們處理自己的情緒。
Although anxiouspeople often feel they have no choice but to worry; in fact, it is taking toomuch responsibility that is contributing to it.
雖然焦慮的人經常覺得他們別無選擇，只能擔心；事實上，他們承擔了太多的責任。
Repetitive negativethoughts are one of the signs of anxiety disorders, said Dr Yoshinori Sugiura,the study’s first author:
反覆出現消極想法是焦慮症的症狀之一，該研究的第一作者Yoshinori Sugiura博士說：
「People with OCD[are] tortured by repeatedly occurring negative thinking and they take somestrategy to prevent it… GAD is a very pervasive type of anxiety.
「強迫症患者被反覆出現的消極思想折磨，他們採取一些策略來預防……廣泛性焦慮症是一種非常普遍的焦慮類型。
[Patients] worryabout everything.」
（病人）什麼都擔心。」
It is normal to dosome checking and worrying, but when these get out of control, it can become aproblem, said Dr Sugiura:
檢查和擔憂很正常，但當這些失控，就會變成問題，Sugiura博士說:
「For example, you’reusing two audio recorders instead of one.
「例如，你使用了兩個錄音機而不是一個。
It’s just in caseone fails … having two recorders will enhance your work but if you prepare[too] many recorders … that will interfere with your work.」
這只是以防其中一個故障……準備兩個錄音機會提高工作效率，但如果準備了太多錄音機……那就會影響工作。」
Dr Sugiura providessome tips:
Sugiura博士提供了一些建議：
「[A] very quick oreasy way is to realize that responsibility is working behind your worry.
「一個非常快速或簡單的方法就是意識到責任在你的擔憂背後起作用。
I ask [patients]「Why are you worried so much?」 so they will answer 「I can’t help but worry」 butthey will not spontaneously think 「Because I feel responsibility」 … justrealizing it will make some space between responsibility thinking and yourbehavior.」
我問病人：「你們為什麼這麼擔心？」他們會回答「我忍不住擔心」，但他們不會自發地想「因為我感到有責任」……只要意識到這一點，就會在責任思維和行為之間留出空間。」
The study waspublished in the International Journal of Cognitive Therapy (Sugiura &Fisak, 2019).
