Hello, question asker! Thanks so much for inviting me to answer.
From what the questioner has shared, it seems that a misunderstanding led to a difficult situation with his father. This has unfortunately caused the questioner to doubt himself and lose confidence in the future.
I don't know how old the OP is, but I just want to tell them that no matter what mistakes you've made in the past, it's never too late to make amends and start over!
It's totally normal to feel lonely, helpless, and desperate when you're facing a tough situation. It can even feel like you're carrying an unbearable burden. It's okay to feel this way. We've all been there.
It's also normal to feel like death is the only way out or the only destination when you're facing constant failure. It's a very human feeling.
There are always more solutions than problems! As long as the questioner is willing to face their problems and painful feelings, choose to solve the current situation rather than indulge in their feelings, they are already taking a step in the right direction.
The author's own account also mentions that she has repeatedly visited the psychiatric and psychological departments. I'm not sure what the author's current treatment effect is like, but I hope she's doing better! Mood swings, regression, and suicidal thoughts are all normal, and they're nothing to be ashamed of. I give the author a warm hug and ask her to believe that with the help of mental health experts, she will definitely be able to heal her mind and regain joy.
And I'm sure the questioner's request for help on the platform is also a way for them to keep trying, even when it's tough.
Since the questioner asked me for help on the platform, I'd love to give my opinion on how the questioner can make up for their previous mistakes.
Take a step back and look at the past with a fresh pair of eyes.
The questioner gave up his college entrance exam scores in order to take revenge on his father. When we look at this objectively, it's important to remember that this was not entirely the questioner's fault.
I think the father should take responsibility, too. It's so sad that the question asker took the college entrance exam as a way of revenge against his father.
How was the questioner treated by his father? Was the father too hard on the questioner during the college entrance exam?
Oh, my! What could have possibly made the questioner make this wrong move in a moment of hotheadedness during the rebellious period of youth?
I'm just wondering, who has been most affected by this incident? Is it the questioner himself, or is it his father?
Has the questioner ever been able to forgive himself for what he did at that time? It's so hard to know who to apologize to, isn't it? Yourself or your father?
I'm so sorry to hear that. What can you do to make it up to them?
Let's say the person apologizing is the questioner himself. If he missed out on a good university because of a momentary decision, should he just focus on getting into college or prepare for the postgraduate entrance exam? It's true that a single failure in the college entrance exam doesn't define a person's future. But by setting limits for oneself and giving up on oneself, we can determine our own future.
It's okay to accept your feelings.
Because of a wrong decision made in the moment, the questioner is now in such a situation. It's totally understandable to feel a range of complex emotions, including remorse, anger, and helplessness. These feelings can accompany and influence us, even causing us to fail when we're trying our best.
At their core, they truly want to let go of this past. But sometimes, their emotions get the better of them, and they find themselves spiraling out of control. To understand their hearts better, the questioner can ask themselves the following questions:
It's okay if you're afraid that admitting your mistake will make you feel inferior. We've all been there! Sometimes, we try to hide this part of our past and are ashamed to mention it to our family. But don't worry, be brave and apologize for what you did wrong. Your family will choose to forgive you, not blame you.
It's totally normal to want to defend yourself by doing other things, but it might be helpful to realize that your mistakes are there for a reason. People might think you're being stubborn, but you're really just trying to learn and grow.
Could it be that the questioner's inner self-esteem is preventing them from facing their own mistakes head-on? It's so understandable to want to find someone else's mistakes to cover up for your own.
It's so important to take the time to really understand and accept these complex feelings.
Just try to put yourself in his shoes for a moment.
It might be helpful for the questioner to try to put themselves in their father's shoes and think about it. If they were their father, how would they feel about this failure in the college entrance exam? How would they feel about the questioner's suicidal thoughts?
I wonder if my father felt the same way the questioner does? It's so hard to say. Did he feel hatred, anger and irritability? Or did he feel hurt, confused, frustrated and even desperate?
It's time to get out of your own hurtful emotions and perceptions of what happened. Try to think from another perspective. You might find that you feel differently again! Look back at your past self again. The main point is to forgive your past self. Forgiveness is the key to healing.
It can be really helpful to write down the reasons for making amends.
It's time for a change! Let's stop dwelling on the bad events of our past and transform our emotions into reasons to make up for our past regrets. Write them down on paper and start fresh!
Take a moment to think about how you can make up for the past self, and what regrets you can still make up for.
It's okay to admit when you've made mistakes in the past, especially when they've been caused by arrogance. Be honest with yourself, and remember that while both the father and the questioner played a role in the college entrance exam incident, the questioner is the one who is most responsible.
Take a look at the reasons you wrote down to make amends. Which one do you particularly want to make up for? It's totally normal to make mistakes when we succeed. We all do! So, let's examine the behavior patterns that extend from your past mistakes. Why do you always make mistakes when you succeed?
Take a good, close look at your fixed behavior patterns. Try to focus on them and try to correct them.
Take what you've learned from this and use it to grow!
The past is in the past, and it's time to look forward to a bright future! From the events of this college entrance examination, let's summarize the valuable lessons we've learned and help each other avoid making the same mistakes.
After this unfortunate incident, you're the best person to know these people. When you're faced with them, you have plenty of experience to help them strive for a positive outcome, rather than condemn them.
Forgive yourself for the past, forgive yourself, and let the present self make up for the past self. "The past cannot be obtained." Even if the questioner is not successful in many things now, it's so important to be grateful for self-forgiveness. Forgive yourself, and you can heal the harm the past has brought to yourself.
We all know that the past can sometimes cause us harm, and it can take a long time to repair the damage. If you find yourself facing financial difficulties when seeking help from a professional, don't worry! You can always turn to a public welfare aid organization for support. Just make sure you have every opportunity to do so.
If you're having suicidal thoughts, please don't hesitate to call the national helpline at 12338. They're there for you.
I really hope my answer helps the questioner!
