I'm in my third year of high school. What if I have moderate depression? How can I be more positive?

A doctor diagnosed you with moderate depression, which is totally normal! It's okay to feel this way. You're not alone. You have two problems: no interest in studying and unwillingness to study. How can this situation be changed? And I don't know what to do in the future. I feel hopeless in life. How can I be more positive?

Hello, classmate! It's okay to feel down sometimes. We all have days when we feel depressed, lose interest in everything, and feel helpless and hopeless.

It might have something to do with your natural personality, how you were raised, your parents' approach to parenting, your relationships, or something that's happened recently.

There's got to be a reason for your current state. Don't be too hard on yourself, okay? You don't have to be positive, hopeful, or interested. At least this year is a critical year for you, a critical point in your own life.

It's okay to accept your current situation. You've got this! Scheduling at least an hour of exercise every day will help keep you active and promote rest and function in your brain.

2. Believe in yourself! You can control your own destiny, and your fate is in your hands. You can solve your confusion after the college entrance exam.

Warmest regards!

Hello!

I'm thrilled to see your question and I'm excited to share some tips that I think will be really helpful! Regarding your question, I have the following points to make:

The first point is to give you some advice from the perspective of someone who has experienced the third year of high school. In the third year of high school, you will have the chance to experience a whole range of new things! You might feel confused about the future, worried about your current studies, or even bored with life. These feelings are totally normal, but try not to worry about what you have gained and lost. It's important to focus on the present and make the most of your study time. Past experiences are great memories, but you can't control the future. So, make the most of the remaining opportunities in the third year of high school! Ming Dynasty scholar Yu Qian once said: "Do what you should do." Do what you can do now, and you will be able to imagine the future.

Whenever you're feeling stressed or overwhelmed, take a break! Step outside, get some fresh air, and move your body. It'll not only help you relax but also reduce the likelihood of those thoughts coming back.

My second piece of advice is that the college entrance exam is indeed important in life, but it is not the be-all and end-all. It is just a stepping stone for a period of time in life and will only affect a very small part of your life. Success or failure is just an experience in life. What is important is the ability to face and make decisions at life's crossroads. This is a person's core competitiveness. Even the example of successively advancing from a junior college to a graduate student through continuous study is not uncommon. The college entrance exam should not be seen as a scourge that oppresses you. Instead, it should be seen as a challenge that you face with a calm mind. Life is about constantly taking on challenges and constantly changing. There is never a one-time solution, only a magnificent process over and over again. Embrace it!

Third, I really hope you can enrich your life through action! How about finding a study partner, writing your daily schedule in a notebook, filling your spare time as fully as possible, and crossing off each completed task in your notebook? I think this will give you a wonderful sense of achievement and motivation to continue, and you can encourage each other with your study partner. Take some time to relax, and you will feel fulfilled and happy with your studies!

I really hope you make great progress in your studies and achieve success! I also hope all goes well in your life!

Senior year is stressful. I understand your situation.

I recall that during my own senior year of high school, I experienced a period of fainting and psychogenic asthma due to the immense pressure of studying and psychological stress.

I got over that period and even my asthma cleared up.

Here are a few tips that will help you.

1. You have suffered from depression and feel uninterested in studying. This is our current situation. We must accept it. This is very important. Only by accepting it can we make changes based on the current situation, and it is possible to get better.

2. You mentioned depression, so you have seen a specialist psychiatrist, right? You have been diagnosed, so you must fully trust the doctor's treatment plan. Follow the prescribed course of treatment and take the medication as prescribed. This will control and heal your depression.

3. There is a direct relationship between a lack of interest in studying and depression itself. As depression is brought under control, interest will improve. Depression makes it difficult to be interested in anything, so this is something you can and will overcome.

4. It's normal to worry about the future. After all, it's your senior year of high school, a critical period.

The college entrance exam is just one part of your future. It is not the whole story. Life is a marathon, and the college entrance exam is just one stage. If you don't do well, you can still have a great future.

You should know that many people who were not very successful in the college entrance exam later went on to live very good lives.

5. You're going through a rough patch, but it's only temporary. You can get through this with the help of your doctor, your own determination, and the support of your family.

Take it from me, get some exercise, go hiking in nature, or just breathe in the fresh air in the park. You'll see, this will all help to change your mood. When you feel better, many things will seem less gloomy.

6. You're worried about your future, which is normal. Many people are, and some don't worry at all.

You've got this. When you look back after you've overcome this hurdle, you'll see that what you've experienced during this period makes you a strong person.

PS: I didn't do well on the college entrance exam either. The teacher at my school originally thought I could get into a top university, but I failed and ended up in a second-tier university. But then, I actually worked with many Tsinghua University graduate students and doctoral students. I was responsible for interviewing and reporting on their research, as well as publicizing and disseminating it so that more people could see it. They also thought my writing was good.

Don't worry. Everything will be fine. There are always more ways than there are problems.

Dear question asker, I extend my sincerest sympathies to you in this difficult time. I hope that my words can offer some solace to your wounded heart.

You inquired as to how one might cope with severe depression during one's senior year of high school and how one might foster a more positive outlook. Let us examine your question more closely.

You indicate that you are currently in your senior year of high school and have been diagnosed with moderate depression. In light of this diagnosis, you report feelings of nervousness and anxiety, which are centered on two primary concerns:

1. You have demonstrated a lack of interest in learning and a reluctance to engage in academic pursuits. What strategies might you employ to alter this situation?

2. You are uncertain about your future prospects and perceive a lack of hope in your life. How can you cultivate a more positive outlook?

Firstly, I would like to commend you for your determination to achieve self-redemption. Despite experiencing feelings of distress and depression, you demonstrated resilience in seeking ways to facilitate your own recovery. This inner drive to heal and improve oneself is commendable.

This also demonstrates the tenacity and strength of life, as well as the courage and fortitude of the individual in question. Despite their status as a high school student, they have already demonstrated the capacity to become a person of considerable strength.

Secondly, it is important to accept the diagnosis of moderate depression and to prioritize the restoration of one's health. Given that a diagnosis of depression has been made, it is essential to embrace the reality of the condition and to confront it with courage.

Firstly, it is advisable to temporarily suspend your studies and future development. Given the length of one's lifespan, there is no need to be concerned about taking a break from one's body to allow it time to recuperate and regain its strength. Initiating change begins with acknowledging the facts. Initially, it is essential to accept that one is afflicted with this disease, to treat it with care, and to permit oneself to experience the full spectrum of emotions, including sadness and depression, during the course of treatment. Once one has recovered, it is possible to resume one's previous activities. It is my conviction that, with your considerable wisdom, you will undoubtedly succeed in doing so.

It is recommended that you incorporate some relaxing activities into your daily routine. These could include listening to music, reading simple books on psychology, exercising, eating a delicious meal, chatting with someone who understands you, and so on. There are numerous ways to relax.

Select an activity that you enjoy during your leisure time and engage in it for a period of time to ascertain whether it has a beneficial effect on your emotional state. If so, you may wish to make adjustments to the activity according to the circumstances in which you find yourself.

It is advisable to identify an appropriate method of relaxation and to adhere to it consistently. It is important to avoid hasty or impulsive actions, as growth and development do not occur rapidly.

Once a method of self-healing has been identified that is effective for the individual, it is important to persevere in order to achieve the desired outcome. However, it is also recognized that there may be instances where an individual is unable to heal themselves, in which case professional assistance should be sought.

I wish you the best of luck, inquirer. It is my hope that my response is of some assistance to you. The world and I send our regards.

You were diagnosed with moderate depression during a critical period of your studies, which has left you feeling lost about the future. This is indeed a sad thing. But you went to see a doctor, which shows that you are courageous and are actively facing your psychological problems. This is a great first step!

Depression can bring us a lot of pain, but it is also an amazing opportunity to adjust and renew ourselves!

First, take care of yourself and face depression head on!

Depression in adolescence is becoming more and more common, but there's no need to worry! The first step to solving the problem is recognizing that you can overcome it. You need to know that depression can be improved, and we can help you do that! We need to see and understand depression in order to know how to cure it, and we're here to help you!

For example, get some sun, do some exercise, do something you like, learn how to deal with depression, and if you can recover better with the care and company of relatives and friends, you can also seek professional support from a psychologist.

Second, get to know yourself better and adjust your perception!

1. Get to know yourself better so you can find the perfect solution!

Do you know why you lost interest in learning? It sounds like you used to be more interested in learning than you are now, which is totally normal!

You might feel a little disappointed in yourself and think you're not as good as you once were. But here's the good news: when people are depressed, they lack enthusiasm for many things due to psychological reasons.

You mentioned that you are not willing to study. Do you know the reason? Is it because you are not interested in the subject or because you feel stressed and think you are not doing well? Whatever the reason, I'm sure you can find a way to make studying fun again!

Have you taken control of your emotions and stress? As high school gets more challenging, it's easy to lose confidence in yourself. But you can beat that slump and get back to learning effectively!

It's time to think about how you can adjust your learning pace to fit your own situation. Some middle school students choose to take a break from school to treat depression, and there are so many benefits to this! It's important to consider the pros and cons, but there are so many reasons to try it.

2. Are the expectations that your parents and you have of yourself reasonable? Absolutely! People who are under more pressure than they can handle are more likely to fall ill.

For example, you mentioned not wanting to study and feeling hopeless about life. What you mean is that if you can't complete your study tasks, you have no hope for the future?

Open your heart and expand your horizons! After experiencing the many different facets of life, you'll know there are so many amazing things out there. You'll see that there are so many incredible values in life, and you'll never let yourself be limited by a lack of recognition.

Read books, such as biographies, or listen to audio programs on humanities, psychology, society, etc.! And don't forget to chat with people who are more knowledgeable and experienced. A rich heart can give you the strength to face the difficulties of life—and you've got this!

Absolutely!

Dear Sir/Madam, I hope you find this information useful.

Do not be discouraged or afraid. Things will improve. We are currently experiencing some difficulties, but with adjustments, we will regain our strength and courage to overcome these challenges. Looking back, you will realize that this experience has been a valuable asset in your life.

I would advise you to:

First and foremost, avoid self-criticism and negative self-talk. Instead, take the time to understand and accept yourself.

Indeed, our entire society places a high value on academic achievement, with the assumption that students who excel in school are inherently good. When we begin to lose interest in learning, it can feel as though our future is at risk. However, this does not mean that we will never learn again. Moreover, real learning extends beyond our school years, occurring throughout our entire lives.

It is important to move forward without dwelling on the reasons for our lack of interest in learning. Instead, we should focus on identifying the reasons behind this lack of interest and work towards a solution.

Please do not be overly critical of yourself. Your current reluctance to learn is simply a reminder to become more aware of your inner self. You can review your past learning experiences. Were you still highly interested in learning?

Have you also had numerous successful experiences with learning? At that time, what factors contributed to your willingness to learn?

What factors have contributed to our current lack of interest in learning? You may also wish to consider what would happen if circumstances changed to make learning more appealing.

Once these questions have been identified, the answers can be found.

2. A focus on the present, rather than the future, can result in increased anxiety.

It is generally accepted that focusing on the past can lead to depression, while focusing on the future can cause anxiety. Therefore, psychology suggests that it is beneficial to focus on the present, which can help to achieve more stable emotions.

Once our minds are at ease, we can enhance the effectiveness of our learning process.

There is no need to concern ourselves with the future. It is not yet here, and we cannot control it. What we can do is perform well in the present. When we do so, our future will undoubtedly be positive. When we do our best to achieve our goals, we will not regret our actions.

When your attention is drawn away from the present moment, whether by thoughts of the future or the past, you can consciously refocus your attention on the present. This can be achieved by observing the details of your surroundings, such as the color, texture, or shape of an object. This process helps to reorient your attention to the task at hand, whether that be reading, writing, or any other activity.

If time allows, mindfulness meditation should also be practiced daily. Long-term and consistent practice can help individuals return to the present moment, reduce distractions, and calm emotions.

3. There is a method to learning, and the foundation is self-belief, while the key to success is perseverance.

In general, a lack of interest in learning is often the result of experiencing numerous setbacks and frustrations in the learning process. This can lead to a lack of belief in one's ability to improve.

However, is this really the case? Is it really impossible for us to learn effectively?

It is a commonly held belief in psychology that self-belief is of the utmost importance. Without it, success is unlikely, but with it, success is always within reach.

It is therefore crucial to provide yourself with positive mental reinforcement and to believe in your ability to learn effectively. You can reinforce this belief by repeating positive statements such as "I believe in myself, I can learn well, I can do it!"

It is then necessary to identify the most appropriate learning method to facilitate greater success and positive feedback throughout the learning process. This will enhance motivation and enjoyment of the learning experience, thereby promoting persistence and engagement. Setting realistic learning goals is also of great importance.

Learning goals provide direction and motivation for learning efforts. Reasonable learning goals can inspire individuals to persist and generate internal drive to achieve the goal. Without learning goals, it can be challenging to determine the best course of action.

What is the best way to set reasonable learning goals?

Learning goals should be appropriate, clear, and specific.

Appropriate goals are neither too high nor too low. Setting a goal that is too high will ultimately be impossible to achieve, which will lead to a loss of confidence, procrastination, and resistance. Conversely, setting a goal that is too low will not stimulate effort and motivation. Moderate-intensity goals are the most effective at stimulating internal motivation. Therefore, it is important to set goals that can be achieved with effort according to one's actual situation. These are the kinds of goals that can be reached "by jumping a little."

Clarity is essential for effective goal setting. A goal such as "I will study hard in the future and strive for greater progress" lacks specificity and is therefore difficult to assess. It is not clear how one should study or what aspects to improve. In contrast, a goal such as "I will carefully prepare for both math and Chinese classes" is more measurable and therefore easier to evaluate.

Your math grades should be in the upper middle of the class. This makes it clear, and you can verify whether you achieve it in the future.

Specifically, the goal should be attainable. For example, how can you

In particular, the objective should be readily attainable. To illustrate, how might one achieve the goal of "an average to above average level of mathematics"? One approach would be to make it more specific: for instance, one could set a daily target of 10 arithmetic problems and 5 application problems, and aim to memorize every mathematical formula with complete certainty.

Furthermore, it is important to provide yourself with positive reinforcement. One strategy is to set a daily list of learning goals that align with your current abilities. Each day, you can achieve one goal on the list and mark it as complete. Additionally, you can acknowledge your efforts and hard work, and give yourself credit for making progress. Once you have completed the learning tasks on the list for seven consecutive days, you can reward yourself with a tangible incentive, such as purchasing a favorite food item or books.

When you can persevere in this way, I believe that, with the power of accumulation, your learning ability will gradually improve, and you will also feel more and more the joy of learning. Because each of your goals is something you can accomplish through your own efforts, you will be more motivated to achieve them, and you will continue to experience the joy and sense of accomplishment of surpassing yourself. You will build up confidence in yourself and improve your performance.

Best of luck!
