Friend, are you okay?
"Ding Dong-" The sound of the mobile phone broke the silence of the afternoon. I lazily swiped the screen of my phone, and a glaring comment came into view: "Don't be pretentious, no one really wants to be friends with someone with severe depression!" For a moment, my heart felt like it had been hit by something heavy, and I felt a dull ache.
My name is Xiaomin, an ordinary city girl, and I used to be a lively and cheerful person. But since that incident, everything has changed.
On a rainy night two years ago, my best friend Xiaoxiao chose to leave this world because of long-term depression. I couldn't accept this fact, and my heart was filled with guilt and self-blame. If I could have spent more time with her and listened to her more, would I have been able to stop this tragedy?
Xiaoxiao's departure plunged me into deep self-blame and grief, and I began to experience symptoms of depression. I became reticent, uninterested in anything, and even began to have suicidal thoughts.
Until one day, I shared my feelings and experiences online anonymously. Unexpectedly, this dynamic sparked heated discussions. Many people expressed understanding and support, but there were also some voices of indifference and even ridicule. Among them was the comment that stabbed my heart.
I didn't know how to respond to these voices, so I had to suffer in silence. However, just when I was feeling helpless and hopeless, a private message from a stranger gave me hope again.
"Xiaomin, hello. I saw your sharing and wanted to tell you that you are not fighting alone. I went through a similar dilemma, but then I came out of it. If you need to talk or help, please feel free to let me know. ”
The stranger's words warmed me. We started to communicate frequently, and he shared his experience and insights with me, and also gave me a lot of encouragement and support. Gradually, I found myself willing to open my heart and start to have hope in life again.
With his company and help, I gradually came out of the shadow of depression. I began to rediscover the joy and meaning of life. I also started to try to help more people like me so that they too could find hope in life again.
Later, I learned that the stranger was actually a psychiatrist in my city. He has used his professional knowledge and personal experience to help many people out of psychological difficulties. I am deeply grateful to him and feel lucky to have met such a wonderful person.
Looking back on that dark time in the past, I am filled with emotion. I want to tell everyone: please don't be prejudiced and discriminated against people with depression. What they need is not accusations and ridicule, but understanding and support. Everyone can encounter difficulties and setbacks, but as long as we are willing to lend a hand, we will definitely help them regain the courage and hope in life.
Now, I have completely come out of the shadow of depression and started a new life. I'm thankful for the stinging comment that allowed me to meet that stranger, and I'm grateful to the stranger for allowing me to find myself again.
I would like to say to those who are still struggling: please don't give up hope, there will always be someone willing to lend a hand to help you, and to those who have come out of this predicament, I would like to say: please don't forget those who have helped you, and please use your strength to help more people in need.
Although life is full of unknowns and challenges, as long as we have hope and move forward, we will definitely find our own bright future.
Look for the light
Ever since I came out of the shadow of depression, life seemed to have reopened a door for me. Every day is full of new possibilities and challenges, and I have learned to cherish and be grateful.
At work, I work harder, hoping to repay those who have helped me with my practical actions. Whenever I encounter difficulties, I think of those difficult times, and it has made me stronger and more resilient.
In life, I have also become more positive and optimistic. I learned how to adjust my emotions and how to deal with setbacks and failures. Whenever something unpleasant happens, I tell myself, "It's only temporary, everything will be fine." ”
At the same time, I also started to pay attention to the topic of mental health. I have found that many people actually face some psychological problems to a greater or lesser extent, but many people choose to ignore or avoid them. So, I decided what I was going to do.
In my spare time, I began to participate in some public welfare activities related to mental health. Together with some like-minded friends, I went to the community and school to give lectures and consultations on mental health, hoping to help more people realize the importance of mental health and learn how to face and deal with their psychological problems correctly.
I learned a lot from these activities. I have seen many people get out of their psychological predicament and regain the joy and meaning of life because of our help. This sense of accomplishment and satisfaction strengthened my belief and determination.
However, I also understand that there are still many difficulties and challenges on the road. But I believe that as long as we persevere, we will be able to achieve greater results and impact.
Looking back now, I'm really glad that I was able to get out of that dark time and find the direction and meaning of life again. I also hope to use my experience and strength to influence and help more people, so that they can also find their own bright future.
Finally, I would like to say to those who are still struggling with difficult situations: please don't give up, there will always be turns and hope in life. As long as you are willing to look for it and work hard, you will definitely be able to find your own bright path. And for those who have come out of the predicament, I would like to say: please cherish the present life and use your strength and wisdom to create a better future.
