22-year-old male student, third year of internship, full of hopes and worries about the future, what should he do?

Hello, I'm here to give you a 360-degree hug.

In your question, you gave us a quick overview of your school experiences and how you felt at each stage: junior high, high school, and college.

These three stages of experience have had their fair share of difficulties and obstacles, but there have also been some very strong forces at play.

There are visions and worries about the future, but also determination.

I think it's fair to say that this is a pretty powerful question with its own solution.

I don't know how you managed to get into a key high school in junior high school despite suffering from schizophrenia. And I don't know how you managed to obtain a fitness instructor certificate and pass the exams to get into a full-time junior college while on leave from school and suffering from severe depression and anxiety.

I'd love to know how you did it.

I'm not sure how you managed to keep up your grades at college despite your mental illness. You've got a good enough grade to allow you to transfer to a junior college.

It's like two sides of the same story.

On one side, you had 10 years of suffering (almost 10 years), during which you experienced schizophrenia, suspension from school, your parents' breakdown, and persistent severe depression and anxiety. You finally managed to get into college, but the school knew you had a mental illness. Now you've had a car accident and fractured your left leg.

On the other hand, it was a decade of great strength, a decade of becoming stronger after every setback. You've experienced a lot of trauma, but instead of being devastated, you've used it as an opportunity to constantly break through.

A lot of people might struggle with schizophrenia in junior high, but you've shown you're resilient by maintaining good grades. Taking a leave of absence from a key high school is a tough move, but you've shown your determination by self-studying and enrolling in college.

You've had a few hurdles to overcome, but you've still lived an amazing life.

As Nietzsche said, what doesn't kill me makes me stronger.

You ended your essay on a high note, saying you'll keep moving forward on your chosen path, regardless of the pace.

It's understandable that you might still be a bit uncertain about your future direction, but it's great to see that you're still highly motivated.

In the past, when you've faced difficulties, you've chosen to tackle them head-on. This is a constructive way of dealing with things, where you face the facts and work out how to do what you can. Even when you've wanted to give up, you've still responded positively.

I think you're up to handling the current situation, and you might just need a little support, but it's still manageable overall.

Regarding your question about whether a history of mental illness on your record will affect your promotion, as far as I know, it won't affect you if you've recovered. But for specifics, you can ask the school you want to apply to.

Some people might have an issue with it, but ultimately, it's up to us to decide what we think about it.

I think you should talk to a counselor, just to get things off your chest.

I'm a counselor who often feels depressed but also has moments of positivity. I love the world and I'm here to help.

Good day, question asker. My name is Evan.

If you were to document your life's challenges in a written account, I believe it would resonate with many individuals who have experienced similar difficulties. Adversity can evoke negative emotions, but confronting it directly can also impart resilience to navigate life's journey at one's own pace, regardless of whether it is rapid or gradual. It is essential to maintain one's unique rhythm. These insights are often gained through a life marked by challenges and setbacks, which are invaluable experiences.

Affirm the questioner's abilities and encourage them to persevere. The questioner's concern pertains to the potential impact of a history of mental illness on their prospects of admission to graduate school, given their acceptance to college.

These negative thoughts impede the questioner's ability to think clearly and cause them to experience negative emotions. It is therefore important to learn how to identify and eliminate these negative emotions and replace them with a positive mindset.

It should be noted that a history of mental illness will not affect the questioner's admission to university, provided that the questioner has recovered. Furthermore, many individuals can achieve significant success in their chosen fields if they actively cooperate with their psychiatrists and maintain control over their condition.

For example, the renowned American economist and founder of game theory, John Nash, was also diagnosed with schizophrenia. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1994.

As the question was posed on this platform, it is not possible for me to provide detailed advice regarding the specific issue. However, I can offer guidance on how to address negative emotions.

It is important to identify the source of the negative thoughts that are causing distress.

It is not always easy to determine the source of negative thinking. Some negative thoughts arise spontaneously, while others are more elusive.

It is recommended that any negative emotions that arise be recorded in a few words.

It is essential to ascertain the underlying causes of the negative emotions experienced by the questioner. In this case, the pressure resulting from the illness is a significant contributing factor, leading to feelings of anxiety and a tendency to dwell on potential consequences when confronted with academic tasks. It is crucial to identify the source of this pressure and address it effectively.

The question thus arises as to whether a history of mental illness and an inability to attend university constitute a life sentence. The source of such beliefs is a matter of considerable interest.

It should be noted that these negative thoughts represent common cognitive distortions, including overgeneralization, jumping to conclusions, and an overly extreme perspective.

It is imperative to cease the manifestation of negative emotions.

Once the source of negative emotions is identified, it is possible to encourage oneself to overcome these feelings. To illustrate, when an individual awakes in the morning with the expectation that the day will be unfavorable, it is helpful to acknowledge the negative thoughts that arise but to also recognize that the day will improve with time.

In the presence of negative emotions, it is advisable to avoid prolonged dwelling on the subject and to refrain from discussing them. Instead, it is recommended to offer a positive contribution to the discourse. With consistent repetition of this practice, the individual may gradually become accustomed to this approach and experience a shift in their emotional state.

It is essential to ascertain the origin of these negative emotions.

What factors contribute to the negative emotional state of the questioner? Is it concern about future academic endeavors, apprehension about one's own future health, or disorientation regarding one's overall life situation?

This necessitates a meticulous examination and discernment on the part of the inquirer to ascertain the precise factors that contribute to their feelings of evasion and procrastination, and to document them in written form.

It is essential to ascertain the underlying cause of the negative emotions experienced by the questioner. To this end, it is necessary to identify the factors that contribute to the questioner's negative emotional state. For instance, if the questioner perceives that their illness is impeding their undergraduate studies, it is crucial to determine whether other factors are also influencing their emotional well-being.

Schizophrenia is a curable disease, yet the questioner, who has already been cured, still exhibits symptoms of fear. Could it be that the questioner desires to achieve higher goals, is apprehensive about failure, is afraid of being unable to adapt, and is unable to consider other possibilities because he is preoccupied with future concerns?

Only by identifying the underlying cause of one's anxiety can an effective coping strategy be developed.

It is recommended that the individual focus on the problem they wish to resolve most effectively.

The questioner has indicated that they are experiencing a sense of overwhelm with regard to a number of factors, including the pursuit of a bachelor's degree, future career development, and other concerns. One potential approach to addressing this sense of overwhelm is to engage in a process of identifying and prioritizing the specific challenges or problems that are most pressing in the moment. This can be facilitated through the use of a written reflection, wherein the individual can systematically note down the various concerns that are currently on their mind.

Subsequently, the relative importance of these factors should be determined according to the subject's subjective experience. This will facilitate the identification of the most pressing problem.

Once the most pressing issue has been identified, it is possible to ascertain whether a solution is within reach. In the event that a solution cannot be found independently, it may be worthwhile to solicit the input of others, such as friends or educators.

The state currently demonstrates a high level of attention to students' psychological issues, and there is a consistent availability of psychological educators. Students are encouraged to engage in communication with these professionals regarding their concerns, with the aim of identifying effective solutions. It is essential to recognize that there are always more potential solutions than challenges.

It is recommended that each day be approached with a positive attitude.

It is recommended that each day begin with a positive attitude. To this end, it is advised that upon waking, one should consider five positive aspects of the day thus far.

Such positive occurrences may include listening to a pleasant melody, viewing an engaging film, experiencing a pleasant aroma, or purchasing desired items. It is beneficial to reflect on these experiences and verbalize them to oneself at the start of each day, thereby fostering a constructive outlook.

A positive mindset serves as the foundation for commencing a new day, thereby rendering it more challenging for negative emotions to take root.

One may feel self-conscious about vocalizing positive affirmations, yet research indicates that verbalizing these statements increases their credibility. This practice can enhance one's emotional well-being and cognitive performance by reducing the prevalence of negative thoughts.

It is recommended that you seek external assistance.

Should the aforementioned methods prove ineffective, it is imperative to seek external assistance from a qualified psychologist or counselor. These professionals can provide invaluable guidance and support through psychological intervention. It is crucial to maintain an open and honest dialogue with these professionals, as their work is confidential and guided by ethical standards.

It is essential to articulate with precision how these negative emotions affect one's well-being, delineate the typical patterns of occurrence, and elucidate one's response to these emotions. Should the need arise, it is advisable to maintain consistent communication with these professionals until such negative emotions cease to impact the individual in question.

It is my hope that this response will prove beneficial to the questioner.

You are experiencing a conflict between hope and anxiety regarding the future.

Conflict has a negative impact on your energy levels and hinders your ability to progress effectively.

However, if you can identify your potential in the context of conflict and rationalize the sense of "oppression" from both internal and external sources, you may achieve happiness and success instead of adversity and anxiety.

Your experiences have been full of challenges and setbacks, but you have persevered and achieved a great deal.

This is a valuable asset that will serve you well in the future.

However, our lives are not solely about pushing forward with a heavy load. Pain is not the only driving force that motivates us.

From my perspective, it appears that you have consistently demonstrated resilience in the face of challenges, both in the past and currently.

This string has cost you a great deal. You have demonstrated resilience and determination in overcoming previous challenges through your own efforts and hard work.

Despite the challenges, you remain determined to advance, persevering through adversity.

While this attitude is commendable, it does have a tendency to be exhausting.

If you had the option of running through the rain and mud at a slow pace in the sunshine, which would you choose?

If you are willing to embrace a second chance, let's explore how you can improve upon your previous experience.

Despite being a high-performing student in junior high school, you developed schizophrenia 100 days before the entrance exam. You did not attend school and took the exam, and were subsequently admitted to a local key high school. However, due to the illness, you were unable to attend school, so you took a leave of absence, sought treatment, took medication, gained weight, and your parents' emotions also collapsed, leading to increasing pressure. Even after the symptoms of schizophrenia disappeared, you continued to suffer from severe depression and anxiety. You did not attend high school for five years.

Despite demonstrating academic proficiency during your tenure at the junior high school level, you subsequently developed schizophrenia prior to the entrance examination.

It is evident that doing well in school is a priority for your parents and teachers. It is also clear that you have your own aspirations in this regard.

However, it is likely that you also desire a more balanced lifestyle, including opportunities for enjoyment, a rich and varied experience, and a greater sense of fulfilment.

If an excessive amount of pressure is placed on academic pursuits, the desire for personal fulfillment and relaxation may become compartmentalized.

If at that time, you had been advised that a balance between studies and leisure could lead to positive outcomes, and you had not placed undue pressure on yourself to excel solely in academic pursuits, you might have been able to achieve a healthier equilibrium between these two aspects of your life.

You were accepted into a highly competitive high school, which is a significant accomplishment given your health challenges.

However, a key high school may require unwavering commitment, which may be beyond the capacity of your body and mind to sustain.

The collapse of your parents and your own sense of guilt were additional factors that led you to seek ways to reduce your perceived burden, leading you to consider self-imposed limitations.

Please assess your abilities and physical and mental condition, and indicate how far you believe you can go.

What would be the result of taking this action?

It may not meet your current expectations, or it may not align with your initial goals, but it may prove to be a more beneficial outcome than what you have experienced thus far. Can you accept this result?

In the fourth year of your studies, you pursued a career in fitness, relocating to another city to obtain a fitness instructor certification. Your family also purchased numerous sports books, and you trained at the gym daily. During your university years, you also worked part-time as a gym instructor during the holidays.

You completed your studies independently and gained admission to a full-time college program. During this period, you recovered from treatment and discontinued medication in your sophomore year.

It was necessary for you to withdraw from your studies.

However, you remained determined to succeed.

You demonstrated your ability to succeed by passing the entrance exam for a full-time college program independently and through your commitment to fitness and therapy. This was a pivotal moment in your life.

This belief provided you with the necessary support to proceed.

Furthermore, do you hold yourself responsible for not attending a superior educational institution and leading a more affluent lifestyle, and do you believe that you must exert more effort in your work?

However, the college is aware of my history of mental illness. I am currently in my junior year of internship. Two months ago, I was in a car accident and fractured the lower leg bone of my left leg. I am recovering at home and experiencing depressive symptoms. I am primarily concerned about whether my mental illness history will impact my admission to undergraduate school. I have no issue with my scores.

Your primary concern is whether a history of mental illness will impact your eligibility for admission to graduate school, given that it would be included in your file.

While the college is aware of your psychiatric history, it is possible that this information will not be included in your file.

Documenting the information will facilitate more humane subsequent learning and induction, and will help to maintain focus on the current situation. It should be noted that a medical history is only a reference to the past.

Furthermore, your diagnosis of schizophrenia occurred during your junior high school years. Adolescent schizophrenia, a condition resulting from personality instability, is prevalent in the general population and should not be used as the basis for a lifetime diagnosis of schizophrenia.

You may wish to discuss the situation with your junior college class teacher. This is not an incurable disease. There is something inside you that needs to be satisfied. It may be helpful to separate the two sides of yourself for now. Once the circumstances allow the two sides to reconcile, you will recover. Please ensure that your teacher understands the situation, avoids labelling you, and does not record this label in your history.

The objective is to identify the root cause and implement a solution that enables complete and harmonious integration of the individual.

A few insights: Life will never defeat you, but it will never leave you in peace either. Pain is caused by dissatisfaction with the status quo and the desire to change it. Pain is not wrong; it is a motivating factor. Stay young and stay in pain.

Regardless of future circumstances, I will continue to pursue my goals with determination and resilience.

It is beneficial to acknowledge the full range of emotions that you experience.

Life is inherently contradictory, and suffering often arises from a sense of discontent with the status quo.

If you wish to effect a change, it is important to accept the pain and avoid expending energy on combating it.

It is important to note that while pain can be a source of strength, it can also be overwhelming and exhausting. Therefore, it is crucial to avoid artificially creating and increasing inner pain.

During your development, you may have received positive or negative feedback from family members and educators.

You demonstrate resilience in the face of adversity and perceive life as challenging.

You want to encourage yourself, but also to be seen, affirmed, and supported by others.

If you continue to motivate yourself, disregard the aspects that cause distress, and attempt to conceal the factors that evoke negative emotions, these factors may persist as obstacles in your future.

If you feel you have done your best at each stage, allow yourself to do what you can. Don't leave yourself with regrets. If there are regrets, allow them to exist. This will ensure that your life is not just about learning. You will also have the right to enjoy other things.

By following this advice, you will be able to enjoy a relaxed, happy, and successful life.

Please refer to the section above.

My name is Yan Guilai, and I am a licensed psychological counselor. I wish you the best in your endeavors.

Hello, I'm Wang Ying, your psychological counselor.

Your experiences inspire me. You show me that hope is always possible. You keep striving and growing. You will never give up because you have the strength to break out of your struggles. You will become more confident and wise.

Let me share a quote with you:

"If you can accept your feelings, you will see that your anger is powerful, your sadness is compassionate, your crises are opportunities, your unknowns are possibilities, and your darkness is wisdom."

I've been in a dark tunnel for nearly three years. I finally saw a light at the end. It was painful, but it helped me grow.

I am strong and I can live with negative emotions. If you are also in the tunnel, don't be discouraged. We are all in this together.

I might fall into the dark tunnel again, but I know there will be a gift waiting for me at the end!

What do you think?

Suffering from schizophrenia in junior high school, taking time off from school, seeking treatment, taking medication, gaining weight, suffering from stress, and experiencing severe depression. You have fallen into a dark tunnel again and again, crawling in and out. You have gained the wisdom of life, and it is your insights that are very precious. With such insights, you will be able to move forward, even if there is still a trace of fear in your heart.

Maybe you're still worried. Being stuck at home with a broken bone makes you depressed and worried about the future. This is another painful ordeal for you.

But facing pain is the best way to get stronger. There is no way to avoid suffering. The next time suffering comes, we will be able to bear it and be willing to live with it.

You know the answer.

To truly experience pain and be in the moment with it, you have to be aware of yourself. Learn to get along with yourself, don't rely on others, and face your pain. When I was in pain, I thought about who could help me, but no one could.

When you're in extreme pain, you'll start to awaken. I stopped grasping outwardly and began focusing on myself, learning to save myself and look inward, which allowed me to regain my inner strength.

I'd like to share some of my experiences with you.

Examine your beliefs. If you don't, you'll be a victim of your own bad thinking. Life will be unfair.

To examine, calm down and think. See which thoughts help you and which don't.

If you're worried about a mental illness affecting college chances, examine your belief. Will it impact things?

If it does, is it really that important? What's the key to a bright future?

If you can't change your thoughts, it means you don't have enough energy or you have some emotions you can't release. If you always feel victimized, aggrieved, and sad, you'll think your life is a victim's life.

You can express your emotions by letting off steam or finding a quiet place to calm down and accept your emotions.

Connect with it and it will go away.

Believe in yourself. You will move forward despite the obstacles.

I hope this helps. Good luck!

Hello, dear questioner!

You're only 22, and you've had a really rough time since the 100 days before the middle school entrance exam.

I have to be honest with you, when I saw you and thought back to the problem that occurred 100 days before the middle school entrance exam, I felt a bit of prejudice in my heart about the middle school entrance exam. I think the pressure of the middle school entrance exam has really brought a lot of parents and children growing pains, and I know the competition in the middle school entrance exam is really something that no one can love.

But there's nothing we can do about it. We're in this situation, and no matter what problems arise in the middle school entrance exam, we have to solve them ourselves. After reading your question, I feel that the pressure of the middle school entrance exam has brought you pain, and you should be the kind of student who solves it in your own way. I think you're going to be just fine!

I think one reason is that you really studied hard and, despite the problems, you were admitted to a key high school. Even though you were unable to go to school later, the five years were not easy for you, and your parents' breakdowns added even more pressure.

But in the face of all this, you still found a major in your fourth year, specialized in it, and made it your career. You became a sports coach, and you even managed to enroll in a full-time junior college on your own. I think you're amazing, really.

You were so smart to look for ways to stop taking the medication in your second year of college and live your life like everyone else. I bet the reason for these circumstances is related to your car accident and broken bone.

And let's not forget that it was once so painful, and now you're going through it again. Even someone who has always been in good spirits and has never had any problems is not necessarily in a better mood than you are now if they have a broken bone and are lying at home. So it's perfectly normal to have these concerns.

So, how do we get through this difficult time? Let me share my views based on my personal experience!

It's totally normal to have these worries, so try to get along with him harmoniously.

Think about it, there's plenty of time now! As someone who exercises every day, you can't do it!

Physical exercise is supposed to relieve stress, but now it's not only not relieving stress, but it's also adding to the physical pain and emotional sadness caused by the fracture. It's tough to stay in a good mood, isn't it? Our brains are fine, and now they're spinning faster, and we have more thoughts. There are so many thoughts, and I'm sure you have good thoughts sometimes, too. It's just that when sad thoughts come up, they may cover up the good ones. Since they won't go away, let's just see them coexist when they come.

Second, after allowing sadness to exist, we should think carefully about what our sadness actually is. Determine that the main source of sadness is the worry that a history of mental illness will be written in the file. If this is the case, we should aim for this goal and directly find a way to solve it. I can see that you are afraid of being delayed and transferring to a junior college. If there is a target school, you can check the admissions situation at that school to see if it is particularly lenient. I'm here to help in any way I can!

Another thing you can do is ask someone you trust at your school, like the homeroom teacher or a former senior. If there are social resources available, you can also seek help from them. Just focus on solving this problem and give a definite answer.

Third, based on the answers you get, you can find different solutions.

I really believe that a history of mental illness should not affect the issue of further education. After all, people have been cured of mental illness, so there's no reason to prevent them from going to school or working!

I really do think the probability is that it should be fine.

Of course, there's always a chance that something like this might happen, so we need to be prepared. How can we help? Well, we'll support them to find a healthier way to prove it!

In other words, the old saying about a broken bone is that it takes 100 days to heal, which means that we can recover in 100 days at most.

Then we'll start fresh with the same excitement we had when we started college, with the same spirit we had when we worked as a part-time coach during the summer holidays. We'll start again with the life of an intern in our junior year, and greet the future with a healthy and sunny you. At that time, your history of mental illness will be in the past, and you'll be very healthy in every way. I believe that a healthy you will find a wise way to solve it. In other words, if that path is blocked, we'll find another way. Didn't we say that all roads lead to Rome?

If one school isn't quite right for you, don't worry! There are plenty of other great options out there. As long as we find a way to solve the problem, we will definitely be able to do so. As I said, there are always more ways than there are problems.

I think the most painful time for you was the first two years after the college entrance exam. You've come so far, and I'm so proud of you! You have grown out of the pain in these past few years. Extraordinary strength has brought you to where you are today. In the future, any problems that arise will be nothing compared to what you have already faced. You've got this!

You've got this! Believe in yourself and go forward bravely! You're in the prime of your youth, and you will definitely be able to fight your way to a world of your own!

I love you, world! And I love you too!

From your written description, it is clear that you are a high-performing student. Despite managing schizophrenia, your condition is well-controlled, which is commendable. I encourage you to recognize your strengths, as everyone who experiences mental health challenges does so in a unique way.

Your overall sense of powerlessness and inability to live a good life are the areas that have a negative impact on you, but your academic performance has not been affected at all. I believe this is an area that you can explore in depth.

Furthermore, you developed schizophrenia 100 days before the entrance exam and were unable to attend school. However, you were still able to gain admission to a local key high school. Your courage, hard work, and inner certainty are all character strengths. I hope you can refresh your understanding of yourself.

Furthermore, following the onset of schizophrenia, there was a period of severe depression and anxiety, during which I was unable to attend school for a period of five years. Your situation can be understood from the initial onset of schizophrenia to the subsequent severe anxiety and depression.

Please describe the specific issue in detail. What methods can be employed to gradually overcome it?

Indeed, initially, your demeanor was more serious, but in the middle, you received medication, rest, treatment, and relief. Additionally, did your parents provide support? Despite observing your challenges and experiencing distress, you did not want them to show it, but I believe their care for you remained unwavering.

It is therefore important to adopt the right attitude and to recognise the benefits of fitness for your overall health and wellbeing. You have also demonstrated your commitment to this by obtaining a certificate and purchasing numerous books on the subject, which will undoubtedly prove invaluable in your future career.

Now that you are facing an internship, you are concerned that your schizophrenic symptom and medical history will be documented in the file. It is understandable that such information could be anxiety-provoking.

However, you typically interact well with your classmates and teachers, and your medical history is not a required field, so there is no need to concern yourself with it.

If you wish to complete the form, we will do so manually. Without this file, there is no way to record this information. Have you already been instructed to complete this section?

I believe this topic will not be covered in the curriculum at this stage, so there is no need to concern ourselves with it at this early stage. We can also consult with the teacher to determine which elements should be included in the file.

In conclusion, I would like to reiterate that the insights you have shared at the end of our conversation are highly commendable, and your overall demeanor is positive. It is beneficial to maintain a positive outlook on the future and to utilize daily adjustments to enhance our performance. While concerns are inevitable, it is crucial to ensure that they do not impede our progress. I am confident that you possess the ability to excel further and to continuously improve.

I wish you the best of success.

Should you wish to continue the conversation, please click on the link marked "Find a Coach" in the top right-hand corner or at the bottom of the page. I will then be happy to communicate with you on an individual basis.

One Psychology Q&A Community, World, and I Love You: https://m.xinli001.com/qa

Hello, young man! I am Du Qinghua, a listening therapist, and I am so excited to get to know you better!

I'm so excited to tell you how I feel after reading your words!

Do you know what kind of person I think you are?

Think about it first, then look!

I feel so much strength and reverence for life!

I absolutely have to tell my students about you! You're an incredible motivational story. Your life is an inspiration to us all!

You were so determined to get into that key high school that you took the entrance exam even though you were sick! While others were going to school, you were taking medicine and seeing the doctor, but you kept on actively treating yourself, and you got certified as a fitness trainer!

While other people have to be pushed by their teachers and parents to go to college, you have completely relied on self-study and have obtained a full-time college degree, and even worked part-time as a fitness instructor during the holidays! While many other young people are unaware of their blessings, you have always encouraged yourself, and you even have a different interpretation of pain!

Child, what kind of person are you? Perhaps you have already felt it in your tenacious life. Along your journey, I have seen a different kind of unyielding life, and I am deeply moved by you!

The good news is that as long as you pass the university entrance exam and are in a normal state where you can study, the material you mentioned in your file should not affect your chances of getting in. We can definitely work something out!

Let's just walk forward and see what happens!

Okay, that's all I have to say! I can't wait to see you again if we're meant to!

Dear Sir/Madam, I have read about your growth process and I see a person who has been plagued by mental illness but has persevered and striven to move forward. I can understand your inner worries and anxieties, so I would like to discuss them with you and hope that my answers will give you some inspiration. Best regards, [Name]

♥ Accept yourself.

It is important to accept yourself, including your imperfections. When you accept your imperfections, the negative emotions caused by them will diminish or even disappear.

Once negative emotions have dissipated, the influence of positive emotions will gradually become apparent.

In life, it is essential to learn how to differentiate between what we can and cannot control.

From the description of the title, I understand that you are recuperating from an injury and are particularly concerned about the impact of your psychiatric history on your prospects of being admitted to undergraduate school, which is causing you to feel depressed. There are many instances when we may not be able to control the outcome of events, but we can alter our own perception of the result.

Regarding your application to undergraduate school, your test scores have already demonstrated your aptitude for learning. While we do not have control over the final admission results, you have demonstrated your best effort, so you will have no regrets.

For tasks within our control, we strive to perform them to the best of our abilities. For tasks beyond our control, we adjust our mindset and accept them with an open mind, allowing us to move forward with a positive outlook.

It is essential to learn to eliminate unproductive thoughts and actions from our lives. When faced with unchangeable circumstances, it is crucial to promptly shift our focus to more constructive and productive thoughts.

There is always a way forward for you.

Everyone has their own path. The traditional route is to attend university and secure employment, but there are other options available. From the title, I understand that you have already obtained a fitness instructor certificate, which is a great achievement.

In fact, becoming a fitness coach is also a viable option. I believe you have gained considerable experience in this field, and securing full-time employment should be feasible.

Furthermore, the current era is one of knowledge remuneration, with self-media and freelance professions emerging rapidly. In this context, it is no longer necessary to inquire about an individual's background. As long as they possess the requisite knowledge, ideas, and skills, they will have the opportunity to distinguish themselves.

Therefore, accept your current shortcomings, identify your strengths, and pursue a path that aligns with your goals. The effort you invest in this process will eventually pay off, and you will see the fruits of your labor in the future. Don't be hesitant; the future is promising.

Dear Question Asker, I am Warm-hearted Girl 1219, and I am honored to respond to your inquiry about Yi Xinli.

A careful reading of your description reveals a history of setbacks and successes. These include a diagnosis of schizophrenia in junior high school, admission to a key high school, a five-year absence from high school (during which you obtained a fitness instructor certificate in the fourth year), admission to a full-time junior college, recovery from drug withdrawal in the second year, an internship in the third year, and preparation for junior college to undergraduate transfer.

Your optimistic and motivated personality is evident from the insights you shared at the conclusion of your essay.

You have expressed both hopes and worries about your future. Your primary concern is that a history of mental illness in your file will negatively impact your prospects of admission to an undergraduate program.

The following suggestions are offered for your consideration:

1. It is recommended that you consult further about the possibility of transferring to a bachelor's program and that you endeavor to enroll in a bachelor's program.

It would be advisable to consult further with the staff of educational institutions in order to ascertain whether there are any potential avenues for gaining admission to an undergraduate programme.

☀️Should you have exhausted numerous avenues and undertaken a multitude of actions, yet still be unable to gain admission to an undergraduate program, it is imperative to accept this reality.

It is advisable to maintain a positive outlook and refrain from excessive worry. Even if pursuing undergraduate studies is not feasible, there are alternative avenues that can be pursued.

☀️It is often observed that when one opportunity is lost, another may present itself. It is therefore important to maintain an optimistic outlook and to believe in the idea that every opportunity has a use.

?2. Persevere in a positive outlook.

You are a studious and motivated boy. Despite the challenges posed by illness, you have not relinquished your pursuit of your aspirations.

This is a noteworthy and encouraging development.

It is encouraging to observe that you have recuperated and ceased medication in your second year of college. It is anticipated that with your diligence and optimistic disposition, your future will continue to improve.

It is my hope that you will continue to live optimistically and positively, and carve out a piece of the sky that belongs to you.

3. Do not concern yourself with your medical history.

It is important to note that one's medical history is a fact of life and that it cannot be changed.

It is my hope that you will be able to confront this challenge with fortitude, acknowledge it, and emerge from it with resilience.

I am confident that you will succeed.

It is my hope that this response will prove to be of some assistance to you.

I extend my sincerest wishes for your success and well-being.

At Yixinli, we extend our deepest regards and affection to you, our esteemed customer.

Good day. I am the place of peace.

After reviewing your statements, I was quite surprised. Despite facing significant challenges and adversity, you have achieved remarkable success. You are truly an inspiring individual.

Due to a 100-day period of illness related to schizophrenia, I was unable to attend school. However, I was able to take the college entrance exam and was subsequently accepted into a local key high school.

Due to illness, I was unable to attend school for five years. During this period, I obtained a fitness instructor certificate and taught myself to pass the full-time college entrance exam. While in college, I leveraged my fitness expertise to secure part-time employment as a fitness instructor. Currently, I am recuperating at home following a car accident that resulted in a fracture to the lower leg bone of my left leg.

I am concerned that my undergraduate application may be negatively impacted by the inclusion of my mental health history in the file. However, I am confident that my academic performance will not be a hindrance.

The exclamation marks demonstrate perseverance, courage, confidence, and strength.

In the description, "A few insights: Life will never defeat you, but it will never let you rest either. Pain is the result of dissatisfaction with the status quo and the desire to change it. Pain is not wrong; pain is strength. Stay young and stay in pain.

Regardless of future circumstances, I will continue to advance at a full pace on my chosen path, regardless of the speed at which I progress.

It is inevitable that we will all experience pain at some point in our lives. Pain is a natural part of the human experience, and it will always be with us.

It is a question worth asking why some individuals succumb to pain while others overcome it and gain positive outcomes. You, for instance, are a case in point.

When faced with adversity, individuals tend to react in different ways.

One approach is to avoid, ignore, or disregard the issue.

However, the painful truth is always present. If you continue to avoid facing and dealing with it, it will intensify, becoming more challenging to address. Eventually, you may find yourself in a corner with no viable options.

There is also a type of person who will encounter significant or minor challenges in their professional lives. Regardless of the nature of the challenge, they will choose to accept it, endure the challenge, address it directly, welcome it, and overcome it to achieve self-rescue and become a successful self-advocate.

You are that hero.

Your life may be likened to a hurdle race, where you must overcome one high and one low hurdle after another to reach your destination. You must exert your utmost effort to jump over each hurdle, and you may even be covered in bruises. However, even if you are covered in bruises, they cannot stop you from running, because you firmly believe that as long as you don't let yourself be defeated, no matter how deep or painful the suffering, you will not be defeated.

Before the caterpillar can emerge from its cocoon and metamorphose into a butterfly, it must first overcome the challenge of vibrating its wings and enduring significant discomfort. With each vibration, the strength of its wings gradually breaks the cocoon open, enabling it to flap its wings and take flight.

It is possible that the sadness and pain you have experienced are helping you to accumulate energy and strength, enabling you to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, and achieve your magnificent transformation.

Nezha said, "My destiny is in my hands, not in the hands of the heavens." You are the real version of Nezha.

I have no advice to offer. You have provided us with an excellent example of how to deal with pain. Thank you.

Furthermore, I do not believe that you require advice from others, as I am confident in your determination, confidence, fearlessness, and persistence regarding your future.

Please accept my sincerest wishes for your success.

The second type of person also experiences significant pain. They choose to confront it courageously, learn from it, or at the very least, undergo a personal transformation after selecting an avoidance strategy. They persevere through the pain, challenge their comfort zone, confront it, and emerge triumphant. They discover their purpose and realize their self-worth. They become heroes.

I am writing to express my gratitude for your assistance.

Dear child,

I have taken the time to read your account in great detail and I can sense the distress you are currently experiencing. At the same time, I can also perceive the immense energy you possess.

I would be delighted to have a chat with you and hope to be able to help you relax a little.

1. It would be helpful to try to understand yourself and understand life.

Your life experiences at the age of 22 may be more eventful and more complicated than those of many university students your age.

Despite the challenges you have faced, you have made admirable progress and have achieved a great deal.

I must say, I really admire you!

If I might humbly offer my perspective, I believe that during this period, especially when you are "currently in your junior year of internship and recovering at home" and aiming to graduate with a bachelor's degree, it's natural for many young people to experience some anxiety and to consider potential challenges.

I believe this is a normal feeling.

It's only natural to feel a mix of anticipation and concern about the future.

If we can learn to see our own thoughts without being carried away by them, we may be able to focus more on the present.

I think it's wonderful that you have your own insights, as they're unique to you.

In the future, after you have read more books and traveled more, you may find yourself experiencing a wider range of new feelings.

It would be beneficial to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and learn to provide comfort to yourself.

It is natural for everyone, even those whose lives are going well, to have various concerns.

It might be helpful to believe that the answer you want could appear as you run your best.

Life often takes unexpected turns.

It seems reasonable to assume that, given your ability to achieve such a positive outcome despite significant challenges, the impact of a history of mental illness and drug withdrawal on you is likely to be limited.

I truly believe that you can face whatever may come your way.

You were able to attend high school for five years without attending classes, which demonstrates that there are many possibilities in life.

2. It might be helpful to try to relax a little and focus on your strengths.

Has anyone ever told you that you have a lot of talent?

You didn't have the opportunity to attend school before the entrance exam, yet you still managed to pass the exam for a local key high school while being sick. You went on to obtain a fitness trainer certificate and other qualifications. You didn't have the chance to study for a long time. Do you think you have a strong learning ability?

You also take the time to reflect on yourself and believe that life will not defeat you.

You have the capacity to draw on your inner strength.

All the challenges and difficulties you have faced have ultimately led to your growth and learning.

When you find yourself asking, "What should I do?," it might be helpful to try to be kind to yourself.

We all face challenges and difficulties in life. It is important to be kind to ourselves and to approach these challenges with warmth and without judgment.

As you have recognized, pain often stems from a desire for change and a sense of dissatisfaction with the status quo. It's important to understand that pain is not inherently wrong. Instead, it can be a source of strength when we embrace it and stay young at heart.

I believe this could be considered a form of self-compassion.

When you feel depressed, you might find it helpful to learn to calm yourself down, see what your emotions are trying to tell you, and try to stand by yourself. You may also find it beneficial to lower your expectations a little sometimes.

I believe that the more understanding we have for ourselves, the more strength we have.

You might also consider trying some meditation and mindfulness methods to help you cope with the situation.

3. Consider crafting your own heroic narrative.

Narrative psychology suggests that we all have the potential to be the authors of our own life stories.

If I might suggest, to get out of a difficult situation, you might consider changing the story.

It might be helpful to consider that whenever you encounter a problem, the person and the problem are not necessarily one and the same.

"Perhaps it would be helpful to remember that people are not the problem, but rather the problem is something else."

I would like to suggest the book Above Fate by Liu Daming, who has congenital osteogenesis imperfecta.

He has faced challenges on his own journey with resilience and positivity.

I believe your story will also inspire many people.

I believe that with your own ingenuity and practice, you can expand your influence and create more possibilities.

If I may make a suggestion, perhaps you could share these.

I wish you all the best!

I would like to express my love for you and the world.

Hello, I hope you don't mind a warm hug. I'm Phil.

I'm truly sorry to hear that you've had such an unfortunate experience.

Everything initially appeared to be proceeding in a relatively calm manner.

Due to illness, I was compelled to persevere with my studies.

And encountered a number of challenges and difficulties along the way.

As you rightly observed, life will never be defeated by hardships.

I empathize with your experience and find myself in a similar position.

I can relate to this. I have also faced many challenges.

Perhaps it would be more beneficial to avoid dwelling on potential setbacks and instead focus on the positive aspects of the endeavor.

Perhaps it would be more beneficial to avoid dwelling on potential setbacks and instead focus on the positive aspects of the endeavor.

I feel it would be inappropriate, and I would be less happy with myself if I did that.

It would be beneficial to give it our best effort, even if the result is not what we hoped for.

I'm sure we'll be okay in the end.

I would like to kindly suggest that you consider putting your health first in this process.

After all, in this society and at this time,

Regardless of age or status,

I believe that good health is the most important thing.

If I might humbly suggest, the body is the foundation of everything.

If we were to find ourselves in a situation where maintaining our own lives became challenging.

It would be inadvisable to discuss other matters at this time.

I hope that you will continue to do what you set out to do on this basis.

It might be helpful to consider adjusting your emotions when you feel a bit overwhelmed.

It might be helpful to try to relax when you encounter difficulties.

If you ever feel you're in serious trouble,

If you're unsure of the best course of action,

If I may suggest, perhaps it would be helpful to ask for assistance from the relevant personnel and platform.

I hope my answer is helpful to you.

I hope the world and I can show you some love.

Hello, questioner. Your growth has been full of twists and turns, but you have not been defeated by mental illness and suffering. This shows many shining aspects of you.

Every stage of your treatment, your exams, your suspension, and your return to school was a challenge for you. You have not backed down, but have faced the challenges head-on and won. There may have been a lot of hardship and pain, but I think your hard work and perseverance is your greatest strength.

You are also good at learning. You got into a key high school despite your illness. You studied hard, got a fitness instructor certificate, and passed the exam to enter a junior college. You are already in your third year of college!

You're facing a new challenge: an internship and then undergraduate studies. You're also dealing with a mental health history that's your biggest worry. You're worried about how this record will affect your studies and future.

I see your worries, but also your vision for the future. You are smart and have worked hard to get this far. It hasn't been easy, but you've done well, so I believe you can face this challenge and fight for your future.

Take care of yourself and find peace. Good luck!

The experiences you had from junior high school to university were difficult and painful for you. But in these hardships, you have shown your incredible resilience and strength!

It's totally normal to have both hope and worry in life. Hope gives you hope for the future, and worry gives you the motivation to make that hope come true!

However, past experiences will affect your future development—and you can use them to your advantage!

I'm so excited to share some more perspectives with you on the future! Facing such hope can hide worry, but I hope that the following sharing can provide you with more perspectives when thinking about the future.

There are strict regulations for mental illness records in hospitals and schools, which is great! However, the actual implementation by employers is different, so it's important to be aware of that.

The first step is simple: understand the relevant policies and the actual situation. Then, talk to others who have had similar experiences to understand the possible impact of such concerns.

That's why joining a mutual aid group is such a great idea! You'll learn about the difficulties you may encounter from the personal experiences of others, and you'll feel more confident about dealing with them.

And don't forget to be careful about the information you learn! After all, changes in the times and time can also affect people who have similar experiences. Once you've got to grips with the unknown, you'll feel more in control and ready to take on whatever comes your way!

2. Believe in your ability to deal with worries!

One hundred days before the entrance exam, I was diagnosed with schizophrenia.

I got into a local key high school despite being sick. But I couldn't go to school because of my illness, so I took a leave of absence to get better. I took medicine, gained weight, and

But even after the symptoms of schizophrenia have disappeared, there may still be persistent severe depression and anxiety.

You have faced these challenges head-on with unwavering strength and resilience. You have made the impossible possible!

In the fourth year of my studies, I got into fitness, went to another city to study, and obtained a fitness instructor certificate. I also bought dozens of sports books for my family, trained in the gym every day, and even worked part-time as a gym instructor during my university holidays. I also studied on my own and obtained a full-time college degree!

And I have my own unique experience of life!

Life will never defeat you, but it will never leave you in peace either. Pain is the result of dissatisfaction with the status quo and the desire to change it. Pain is not a mistake, pain is strength. Stay young and stay in pain. No matter what happens in the future, I will run full speed ahead on the path of life, no matter how fast or slow. And you can do it too!

Believing in these things will absolutely help you deal with any possible worries!

Find yourself in practice, make your vision a reality, and I wish you the best!

And above all, remember to keep your eyes on the stars!

And above all, remember to keep your eyes on the stars!

Dear questioner, I'm Zhang Huili, a listening therapist. After reading your story, I feel a lot of empathy. I applaud your bravery and your strength.

I think it's fair to say that nowadays, if you don't have some kind of mental illness, you're embarrassed to even speak to people. It seems like everyone has some kind of psychological problem, it's just a matter of severity. Who looks down on whom?

I'm not sure about your concerns regarding your medical history and the file. I don't know your city or where you're going to be employed. There shouldn't be any professional discrimination unless there's a special industry that requires knowledge of past medical or psychiatric history. And is schizophrenia the correct term for bipolar disorder?

Taking medicine will control the disease and reduce your sensitivity. However, it will also have side effects such as drowsiness, dullness, and weight gain. But I see the indomitable part of your character. You passed the entrance exam to a key high school despite your illness, and you obtained a fitness instructor qualification while you were on leave from school. These are all strong indications that you can overcome the disease.

I read a book today that said trauma is a need of the soul because it is through wounds that one can see the light in the darkness. The soul has been in the darkness for so long that it longs for the light. You have seen your wounds, but I don't know if you have seen your talents.

You have highly sensitive characteristics, the ability to learn quickly, and you have also shown your talent in sports. The only so-called "blemish," which is not even worth mentioning, cannot overshadow your brilliance. Find a career that you are good at and like, and let your talent shine. This is the only purpose of life. Liu Bei sold straw sandals when he was poor, and Zhao Kuangyin was a beggar when he was poor. Who cares about these past "files"?

I've got a poem for you to cheer you up:

You'll be at the top.

And you'll see all the mountains as small.

Dear questioner, I can see that you have faced significant challenges along the way. I can see that you have a war mental illness, and you have consistently demonstrated resilience by learning various skills and maintaining a positive outlook. I commend you for your resilience! I can see that you are a highly capable person, and you fully recognize your ability to learn, your persistence, and your courageous perseverance. This recognition is the foundation of your bright future!

Facing great setbacks, you went from being an outstanding student to a mental patient. I can imagine the gap, anger, panic, and uncertainty about the future you have endured, as well as the tremendous pressure. You have mentally prepared yourself to be with the pain and given up comparing yourself to others, which is the best way to adjust your emotions.

From the time you were 16 years old until your junior year internship, this difficult and painful experience has taken up almost half of your life as you remember it. There is no doubt that this experience has had a significant impact on you at this point in time.

By the time you're 30, illness may be a minor part of your life. By 50, it may be a bigger part, and by 80, it may be the most important event in your life. I believe that time will fade the pain. There are many other life issues, happiness, and growth waiting for you.

You mentioned an illness in your file. If it's already resolved, there's no need to dwell on it. You've already demonstrated your ability to enroll in a full-time university through a self-study exam. There's no reason to worry about anything that could stop you from going to school.

The Chinese government and the international community are becoming more open-minded about education. If you have the ability and a certain economic foundation, you can go to school. You will face difficulties in your future work and job interviews, but these are just the beginning of your career.

Once you've started a job and completed your internship, your resume is irrelevant. What matters is whether you're competent. After three years, your words don't matter. What matters is your ability to get the job done.

After ten years of work, it doesn't matter what school you graduated from. What matters is what projects you can do, what projects you are doing, and what positions you can fill in the future.

You're right, pain is strength. No matter how fast or slow, just keep moving forward. Let's encourage each other!

Hello, questioner! I'm Jiang 61, and I'm here to help in any way I can.

Thank you so much for trusting us with your problems and seeking help. We're here for you! You asked, "What should a 22-year-old guy do who is looking forward to the future but also worried about his prospects, as he is in his third year of internship?"

"Now, let's answer your questions."

1. Your experience

1⃣️, illness

You said you were a great student in junior high school, but that you developed schizophrenia 100 days before the entrance exam and couldn't go to school. You took the exam despite your illness and were admitted to a local key high school. But then, because of your illness, you couldn't go to school, took a leave of absence, were treated for the illness, gained weight, and your parents' emotions also collapsed, leading to increasing pressure. Even after the symptoms of schizophrenia disappeared, you continued to suffer from severe depression and anxiety for five years and didn't go to high school.

The excellent you!

From what you've told me, I get the impression that you're a very studious and well-behaved young man. I'm really impressed by how you managed to do so well in the 100 days of intensive high school classes after falling ill. Well done!

It's totally understandable to feel nervous in this situation.

It's clear to me that the cause of your illness is excessive pressure. When you're under a lot of stress, it's only natural that you'd feel overwhelmed. It's like your mind and body are working at full capacity, and when they reach their limits, it's like they're saying, "Enough is enough!"

Let's talk about the sources of your stress.

Family

I'm not sure about the relationship between you and your parents or how you get along, but I can tell that a lot of your stress comes from your parents. I think it's probably their expectations.

I'm not sure if this pressure has made you feel like you have to keep up with others, or if it's made you think that the only way to succeed is to study hard. I know it can be scary to think about failing, but I'm here to support you.

Self-discipline

Your stress obviously comes from your personal expectations of yourself, from your self-discipline and self-improvement. You feel that you are a very sensible, obedient, and restrained boy, which is great!

You're a great kid! You accept your parents' views and are very strict with yourself.

Because you're an introvert and not very expressive, it can be hard for you to share your feelings. Even if you're feeling unhappy with your parents or the outside world, you might find it difficult to express your emotions. This can cause a lot of mental stress.

You're a very competitive person with high self-esteem, which is great! However, it can sometimes lead to feeling worried that others will surpass you and lose face.

As a result, you are always on edge, worrying about everything.

Outside world

It's also worth mentioning that your stress levels might be affected by the influence of others. For instance, teachers might have certain expectations of you, and there might be comparisons between classmates.

Illness

It's so common for people to feel stressed all the time, especially when they're facing important decisions or challenges in their lives. These can include things like middle school exams, college entrance exams, and making big life decisions like choosing a college or career path. When we're under a lot of pressure, it can be really hard to cope and we can end up feeling overwhelmed and even experiencing mental breakdowns.

I think your illness started about 100 days before the entrance exam. It's so sad! I really believe it was the combined effect of the pressure from all three aspects that caused your illness to flare up.

2⃣️, Coaching and Healing

You said, "I got into fitness in my fourth year of suspension from school, went to another city to study, and obtained a fitness instructor certificate. I bought dozens of sports books at home, trained in sports every day, and worked part-time as a coach at the gym during university vacations. I studied on my own and passed the exam to get a full-time junior college degree. During this period, I recovered and stopped taking drugs after treatment in my sophomore year."

Self-healing

I just wanted to say, you've found a great job as a fitness instructor! It's perfect for relaxing the mind and body, and it'll help you to feel better and heal your trauma.

And don't forget about family support!

It's so great to see how your family has been there for you through all of this. They've been able to understand your thoughts and support you in ways that are really helping your recovery. It's so thoughtful of them to buy you books!

I'm so happy to hear that you've had such a positive effect!

You mentioned that during college, you became a part-time fitness instructor through study and exams, which is so impressive! You also passed the college entrance exam on your own and recovered from the medication during college through treatment, which is such a great achievement.

Fitness exercises are a great way to distract yourself, reduce your anxiety, and have a positive effect on your recovery.

3⃣, worries

You said, "But the junior college also knows about the history of mental illness. I'm currently in my junior year of internship. Two months ago, I had a car accident and fractured the lower leg bone of my left leg. I'm at home recovering from the injury and I'm feeling quite depressed. I'm mainly worried about whether my mental illness history will affect my application for undergraduate studies. I have no problem with my grades!

I know it can be really tough when you're in a situation like this. It's like when you fractured your left leg and had to stay home to recover. It's hard to build up your strength and release your emotions when you're stuck at home. I can imagine that your anxiety is coming from your worry about whether knowing that you once suffered from schizophrenia will affect your undergraduate studies.

I totally get it. This excessive worry comes from the question of whether there is a conflict between your expectations of yourself and the demands of society. I believe that once you understand the nature of the problem, you can take measures to solve it.

2. Self-dialogue

You said, "I've come to realize a few things. Life will never defeat you, but it might not always let you be at peace. I think suffering comes from feeling dissatisfied with the status quo and wanting to change it. I don't think suffering is wrong; I think it's a form of strength. I think it's good to stay young and stay suffering."

No matter what the future holds, I'll always run full speed ahead on the path of life, at whatever pace feels right to me.

1⃣️, feelings

It's been so inspiring to see you grow and gain insights after several years of treatment and self-healing.

I'm so proud of you for all your growth!

I can see that you really want to be strong and independent. You're such a strong person! You don't wallow in self-pity or become decadent like other people, but you face your situation with a positive attitude towards life.

You worked so hard to get your college degree, and you did it all on your own! You're now a part-time fitness instructor, and you're even starting to explore your future career.

Reflections

Your feelings show me your incredible strength and the suffering you endured while fighting the disease. At the same time, I feel your strength within you. You are still the amazing person who refuses to admit defeat!

So, you've got your own new career and a fresh start in life!

2⃣️, The meaning of life

Life is all about movement and experiencing new things. Embrace the life that is yours! I'm really touched by your insights and proud of you for having such awareness.

Your words are so beautiful and meaningful! "Pain is the result of dissatisfaction with the status quo and the pursuit of change. Pain is not wrong; pain is strength. Stay young and stay in pain."

"It's great, isn't it? The way you view suffering is that you are willing to accept it and get along with it. This is the meaning of life."

3⃣️, the heart of self-improvement

I just wanted to say, your self-improvement is really admirable! You said, "No matter what happens in the future, I will run my best on the path of life, no matter how fast or slow."

He is both your perception and a true portrayal of your character, my dear friend.

4⃣️, self-dialogue

You can see that these ideas are actually the result of your own experiences. They come from all those times you've felt pain, made choices, had experiences, and made improvements. And they come from all those times you've talked to yourself. You can say that they come from using your heart and living life to the fullest.

I know you're looking for a solution, and I'm here to help.

As you yourself said, you are full of longing and melancholy about the future. That is totally understandable! It's the fear of the unknown, and it's also your pain. This pain comes from an unsolved mystery with you, the fear that your studies will reject your request for further studies.

1️⃣, Let go of your worries, my friend.

It's so important to understand both the internal and external factors.

It's totally normal to worry about the future, but it's also good to remember that you can't control everything. You're excited about further education, but you know that there are two factors that might affect your plans.

Your own situation is great!

You mentioned that your grades are not a problem, which is great! That means you have the power to control that internal factor. And there's also the physical condition of your heart, which can support you through your studies.

After several years of treatment and part-time work, you're in a great place! You're feeling confident that this is not a problem.

We all worry about things outside of our control from time to time. It's totally normal!

It's totally understandable to be worried about whether the school will accept you if you've had an illness. It's not something you can control, so it's natural to worry about it.

The good news is that there's a solution! You can either check the admission requirements or consult with someone to solve the mystery and let worries no longer become a hindrance to your studies.

Let go of your anxieties and worries, my friend.

Once you understand the requirements for school admissions, you'll feel so much better! You can let go of your anxiety and worries and focus on studying.

2⃣️, Facing anxiety

I'm sure you'll agree that your current anxiety and worry are also caused by your inability to do physical exercise, the lack of mental release and connection with people, and the resulting over-concentration of energy on thinking about one problem.

It's so important to stay connected with people!

Bone fractures are a totally normal thing that don't affect your connection with others. It's so great to be able to connect with others because it allows you to focus on other things and distract yourself from focusing only on your emotions. It's a wonderful way to eliminate emotions!

Another great thing about connecting with people is that you can talk about your not-so-great experiences and worries. It's a way to let go of those negative emotions and get help from others, which can really help to ease your anxiety and worries.

And there are other ways!

There are other ways to deal with anxiety, my friend. You can try to focus on what you want to do in the present moment, concentrate on studying when you are studying, and relax without worry when you are taking a break.

You might also want to try mindfulness meditation. This can be a great way to distract yourself from your nervousness.

3⃣️, Be the boss of your emotions

And finally, being the master of your emotions means managing your emotions so that they don't control you. It is the key to freedom from all kinds of worries. Managing emotions means...

It's so important to recognize your emotions.

This is the first step in managing your emotions. When you have an emotion, it's important to recognize what it is, such as anxiety, anger, sadness, etc.

It's so important to accept your emotions.

Healthy emotions are those that are expressed in a way that fits the situation. When what you're feeling is in line with what's going on around you, you'll know it's okay to say, "My current emotions are normal." This is accepting your emotions.

This means that you'll feel less stressed and more at peace with yourself.

It's so important to express your emotions!

It's so important to be able to express your emotions. When you can say "I... my feelings...", it's a great way to let your feelings out.

And now for something really special! Let's dive into the wonderful world of cultivating emotions.

And, of course, practice makes perfect! There are lots of ways to practice and cultivate your emotional management skills.

(1) And remember, living a regular life will also help to keep your emotions nice and stable!

2) Find something you love to do and let your positive emotions guide you. Love yourself and life, and feel the beauty of it all!

3) Look after others and care for them, and let love dwell in your heart. It's so rewarding to help others, and it's also great to help people help themselves!

(4) Being in touch with nature is a great way to open up your mind and soothe and stabilize your emotions.

(5) It's also a great idea to make friends with people who are committed and emotionally stable. Spending time with them will help you feel more stable too!

Questioner, I really hope this helps! I'll borrow your words again as encouragement: "No matter what happens in the future, I will run full speed ahead on the path of life, no matter how fast or slow."

Come on, believe in yourself! You've got this!

I wish the questioner a very happy life!

Hello, I am Teng Ying, a psychological counselor. I can appreciate that your schooling experience was indeed very difficult, and that you encountered many difficulties that others can hardly imagine.

In the face of such challenges, you remained determined to pursue your studies and chart your course in life. This resilience is truly commendable.

The past has been a time of both challenges and accomplishments.

How do you view your past experiences? I can see that your school experience may have been more challenging than that of others. Over the years, mental and physical illnesses have presented you with obstacles, and it has undoubtedly been a struggle for you to persevere.

It is also worth noting that you have achieved things that no one else has. Each time you have been able to overcome difficulties and fight hard to achieve surprising results for yourself.

Despite facing challenges with schizophrenia 100 days before the college entrance exam and having to take time away from school, you still managed to gain admission to a key high school. During your high school years, you faced ongoing difficulties with depression and anxiety, yet you were able to pass the exam for a full-time college through self-study.

I think it's fair to say that this ability to learn is truly admirable.

You also obtained a fitness instructor certificate. Through your own studies and perseverance, you have demonstrated that in addition to having a strong mind, you have also cultivated a healthy physique.

Your experience is reminiscent of the old saying, "For every door that closes, a window opens." Despite the challenges you have faced, you have had the opportunity to realize your potential and demonstrate your resilience and determination.

I believe that, at this point in time, it is equally important to be open and accepting, as well as tolerant.

I would like to share a few lines from a book that has had a big impact on me, called The Road Less Traveled.

Life is full of challenges and difficulties. This is a profound and widely acknowledged truth.

Its greatness lies in the fact that once we figure it out, we can achieve transcendence in life. As long as we know that life is difficult—as long as we truly understand and accept this, then we will never be bothered by the suffering of life.

You are now recuperating at home after a car accident, and you are feeling somewhat anxious about your upcoming college entrance exams, given your history of schizophrenia. I can relate to your concerns and feelings of depression.

Life can be compared to a naughty child. It often seems that as we progress, new challenges emerge to test our resilience. It's as if life is constantly pushing us to our limits. It's natural to feel a sense of helplessness when faced with these obstacles.

I believe that this mischievous child presents us with different problems, but never lets us off the hook.

And this naughty child will always be there for you, ready to offer support and guidance.

Perhaps it would be helpful to try to make friends with him. You could accept all the questions he asks and consider answering them together as a fun game.

Perhaps if you stop fighting against these questions and instead stand up to observe and think about them, you may be able to try to enjoy the process.

The future may bring both opportunities and challenges.

You mentioned that you were concerned about the potential impact of a history of mental illness on your promotion. Given the significant effort you have invested, it is understandable that you would want your achievements to be recognized without any negative implications from your past.

However, you were quite confident in telling us that there was nothing wrong with your score.

I believe that in the future, whether we are studying or working, ability will be a fundamental aspect we rely on.

"The Road Less Traveled" also teaches us the value of delayed gratification. The book suggests that it means not being greedy for temporary comfort, and re-ordering the happiness and pain of life: first, face problems and feel the pain; then, solve problems and enjoy greater happiness. This could be a viable way of life.

While there may be some challenges along the way, you have a clear advantage in terms of your fundamental ability. With this advantage, I am confident you will continue to make steady progress towards your goal.

I hope this is helpful to you!
