Lately, I often feel like crying at night, lose interest in things, am I depressed, and how can I relieve it?

Hello, question asker! I can see the confusion you are facing, and I'm here to help!

So, are you still going to school recently?

Have you experienced something recently at home that could have been a major life change? It would be great to hear about it!

For example, there are so many possibilities! Things like divorce of parents, death of relatives, death of pets, etc.

If so, it is totally normal for you to experience some depressive emotions, like a low mood.

It depends on how long you've been feeling down and uninterested in everything.

If it has only recently occurred, it may just be depression. But don't worry! There's no need to fret.

However, if the depressed mood persists for at least two weeks, then I would highly recommend that you go to a government-designated tertiary hospital for a more detailed examination; to see if there are other problems with your emotions.

Guess what! Some bad things that happened in elementary school may be re-triggered when the relevant personnel come to communicate with you.

If it happened in elementary school, it's great that the relevant personnel are coming to communicate with you now! I'm sure they have some great things to say.

The next time the relevant personnel come to see you, you can tell them that a long time has passed and you don't remember the details, so you no longer want to pursue it.

But don't worry! If you don't express what's in your heart, the relevant staff may keep looking for you. But you can avoid that by sharing your thoughts and feelings. That way, you can move on from that black hole (the shadow of something bad) and start fresh!

I really, really hope that the problem you're facing gets solved super soon!

Now, all I can think of is the above!

I really hope my answer is helpful and inspiring to you, the questioner! I'm the answerer, and I study hard every day.

Here at Yixinli, the world and I love you! Best wishes!

I'm so excited to see what the future holds for you!

It is not uncommon to experience stress and depression during challenging periods. Many individuals encounter similar feelings when confronted with stressful situations and difficulties.

You are not alone, and your situation is not indicative of any personal deficiency.

Firstly, with regard to the pressure to study, it is important to recognise that learning is a long-term process. It is not necessarily the case that academic performance is the sole determining factor in a person's value. Each individual has their own rhythm and pace, and there is no need to compare oneself to others.

It would be beneficial to identify a learning method that aligns with your preferences to enhance efficiency and engagement. It is also important to allocate sufficient time for rest and avoid overexertion.

Secondly, with regard to emotional management, you may wish to consider employing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation and walking. These methods can assist in the alleviation of tension and the attainment of a state of calm.

It is also recommended that you discuss your feelings with friends and family. Their support and understanding will provide you with a sense of warmth and comfort.

Furthermore, the fact that you have already overcome the challenges of the past demonstrates your resilience and courage. The current feelings of fear and anxiety may be a result of the memories being triggered once again.

You may wish to consider psychotherapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, as a means of re-examining and understanding those experiences, with a view to reducing their impact.

In conclusion, it is essential to maintain an attitude of self-worth and self-respect. It is important to recognize that everyone possesses unique strengths and weaknesses, and that these attributes do not define one's value.

It is essential to learn to accept and love yourself in order to better face the challenges in life. It is important to remember that you are not alone, as there are many people who care about and support you.

I would like to encourage you to take action.

Dear questioner, Greetings!

From your words, I sense your feelings of helplessness, confusion, and the desire to escape this state as soon as possible. I'm sending you a virtual hug from afar to show my support.

I would really like to be able to redeem myself, but I'm not sure I can. I often feel that I'm not as good as others, and I get anxious, want to cry, and feel scared. These are the emotions I find the most challenging, but now that I've encountered them, I know I have to face them head-on.

It might be helpful to allow emotions to happen.

From your description, it seems that when you face your own helplessness and anxiety, these negative emotions can feel contradictory. On the one hand, you really do have these emotions, and on the other hand, you may feel a sense of self-judgment for having them. Emotions can sometimes feel overwhelming, like a beast that pounces on us, throwing us into a state of helplessness and negativity.

It can be challenging to regulate these emotions and accept them fully, which might contribute to our tendency to resist them.

Emotions are powerful, but they are also a guiding light that helps us see the depths of our hearts. It might be helpful to spend some time with such emotions and allow them to happen. You could ask yourself: Is something going on?

Later, during the Spring Festival, I will have the opportunity to relax a bit more, as I will be able to go out and play. While I will be doing less overall, the pressure will still be significant. When I am engaged in an activity, I tend to feel a bit anxious.

I wonder if I might suggest that the formation of stress

The Spring Festival holiday is traditionally a time for children who have worked hard and studied hard to rest. Could I respectfully propose that perhaps the questioner feels that going out to play is lax?

Do you have high expectations of yourself? It's not uncommon for stress to arise when our expectations or goals are not fully aligned with reality. For instance, with the new school year just around the corner, there might still be a significant amount of homework to complete.

It is important to remember that we should not be afraid of our imagined fears. Taking a moment to breathe deeply, calm down, and analyze the objective situation can be helpful. Re-examining our goals and using concrete data to identify the gap between the present and the goal can also be beneficial.

After analysis, it may be helpful to consider that the goal may be too high for us. It might be beneficial to allow yourself to achieve 60 or 80 points first.

It is important to remember that setting overly ambitious goals can sometimes hinder our ability to achieve them. Prolonged stress can also have a negative impact on our mental health, which in turn can affect our ability to develop and progress.

Somehow, they compare themselves with their former selves and feel that their former selves lived a life of freedom, elegance, confidence, and generosity. But now they look at themselves and feel a little lost, because they feel that they could be more productive and that they could be more generous.

It is possible that they may be afraid of something unfortunate that occurred in the past and may be reluctant to communicate with those involved. Such experiences can be challenging to process and may take time to move on from.

On a positive note,

It is important to remember that our physical and mental development goals change at different ages. Adolescence is also a time when our values gradually take shape, and we begin to ask the question, "Who am I?"

"At this stage, children may benefit from focusing on developing a sense of self-unity, which involves learning to know, accept, and grow themselves.

It is perfectly normal to feel a little uncertain at this stage. We all go through this period of growth, and it is an opportunity to become a better version of ourselves. Having the right guidance can be very beneficial during this process. Your decision to seek help is a positive step towards looking after your inner health.

I hope the above words can offer you a little strength to hold on. I believe the world and I love you.

It is important to note that the feelings expressed are not indicative of clinical depression. Such episodes are not uncommon and may be attributed to a need for adjustment.

It is important to note that these feelings are not exclusive to a particular individual; rather, they are commonly experienced by many people.

It is often observed that the human heart is analogous to a garden that requires regular cultivation and care. When one experiences fatigue and a loss of interest in various pursuits, it is possible that one's inner garden is in need of attention and nurturing.

It is recommended that individuals allow themselves time and space to focus on their feelings and needs, rather than dwelling on the past.

In regard to the low self-esteem and anxiety that were previously mentioned, it is important to note that these are all very normal emotional reactions. It is crucial not to be excessively harsh on oneself and to refrain from comparing oneself to others.

It is important to recognize that everyone possesses both strengths and weaknesses. The crucial step is to learn to accept one's imperfections and strive to identify one's own unique strengths.

To assist in achieving the optimal state of mind, a number of recommendations are provided.

Firstly, it is recommended that a regular sleep and wake-up time be set and that this schedule be adhered to as much as possible. It is also advised that caffeinated beverages be avoided in the evening, and that a cup of warm milk be consumed to facilitate relaxation.

Prior to retiring for the night, one may choose to engage in a warm bath, the listening of soothing music, or the perusal of a calming tome.

Secondly, in addition to the previously mentioned techniques of deep breathing, meditation, and yoga, one may also consider engaging in physical activities such as walking, jogging, or dancing. The practice of exercise has been demonstrated to facilitate the release of physical tension and stress, while simultaneously improving one's mood.

Furthermore, it is recommended to engage with nature. This may entail a walk in a park, a bicycle ride, or a hike. The natural environment has been shown to have a positive effect on mental health.

Furthermore, it is recommended that a portion of each day be dedicated to pursuits that align with one's interests. These may include activities such as painting, writing, listening to music, or cooking. Engaging in these activities can facilitate relaxation and help individuals reconnect with a sense of joy.

Concurrently, it is advisable to maintain contact with one's family and friends. It is beneficial to share one's feelings and confusion with them, as their support and encouragement can serve as a crucial source of strength in overcoming difficulties.

In regard to the low self-esteem and anxiety you have previously mentioned, I would like to offer some specific advice. Initially, it would be beneficial to record your emotions and feelings in order to identify the triggers.

This will assist in developing a more profound comprehension of one's internal state and in identifying effective strategies for addressing challenges. Secondly, it is crucial to avoid excessive self-criticism, cultivate an attitude of acceptance towards one's imperfections, and nurture a sense of confidence in one's capabilities.

The establishment of incremental objectives on a daily basis, coupled with a concerted effort to attain them, will facilitate the gradual enhancement of one's confidence and self-esteem.

In conclusion, it is imperative to state that there is no shame in seeking assistance when needed. If one feels that they are unable to cope with a situation independently, it is advisable to consult a professional counselor or psychologist.

Such professionals can provide more specific and professional advice and support to help individuals better cope with emotional distress.

Dear WYH, It is important to remember that you are not alone, and that there are numerous individuals in your vicinity who are willing to provide assistance and support. It is essential to have confidence in oneself, to confront challenges with courage, and to recognize that you will undoubtedly emerge from your current situation and embrace a brighter future.

Persevere!

Dear questioner,

I am listening to you, Liu.

I wish you the best of luck.

1. It is evident that you provide yourself with encouragement, even in circumstances that would otherwise be perceived as challenging. It is clear that you are a highly commendable and admirable individual.

In your statement, two distinct selves emerge: one is the present, and the other is the past. When faced with ambiguity in one's current circumstances, individuals often find themselves returning to memories of a more confident self from the past.

Frustration may ensue when one perceives a growing distance between oneself and a previously held idealized self-image.

As anxiety levels increase,

The more we condemn the present self.

This kind of self-doubt will impede our ability to accept ourselves as we are. We will then proceed to criticize the current iteration of ourselves using past experiences as a reference point. Consequently, our current fatigue may be misinterpreted as laziness, and our relaxation may also be subconsciously defined as carelessness.

The standard of "perfection" is a key concept in this discussion.

This phenomenon reflects the imperfect present.

The impetus to alter one's circumstances and the burden of disparate expectations can precipitate a state of anxiety. This emotional state can result in a depletion of one's energy reserves.

It is challenging to concentrate on academic pursuits when one feels that they are progressing at a slower rate than their peers. Similarly, it is difficult to relax and take a break from academic work when it appears that one is not making sufficient progress.

It is not feasible to achieve a state of complete rest during a period of recuperation.

When one is exerting a great deal of effort, it is challenging to direct a substantial portion of one's energy toward a singular focus.

Secondly, it is challenging to achieve reconciliation with the self. However, comprehension of the present self may serve as an initial step towards personal growth.

It is possible that one has experienced some degree of hurt in the past, and that the process of healing itself requires an investment of time. It is important to recognize that one has encountered conflict, betrayal, and hurt in a relationship, and that these feelings are genuine.

In addressing one's own challenges, individuals tend to exhibit a high degree of tolerance towards others while simultaneously holding themselves to exceedingly high standards.

The human psyche is capable of experiencing seven distinct emotions and six fundamental desires.

It is erroneous to assume that humans are solely capable of experiencing positive emotions; they are also capable of feeling pain, worry, and injustice. Humans are complex beings. When they experience negative emotions, it is unproductive to attempt to instantly become an optimist.

In contrast, it is imperative to provide oneself with sufficient warmth and care, to comprehend the circumstances, and to grasp the nature of the experiences being endured. As is taught with regard to the treatment of others,

It is imperative to treat oneself with kindness and respect.

3. Based on the aforementioned circumstances, I would like to proffer the following suggestions, which are merely my personal opinions and it is my hope that they will provide you with some measure of strength.

(1) It is recommended that you attempt to verbalize your emotions rather than attempting to suppress them.

Your writing evinces a delicacy and emotional depth that is both moving and inspiring. It is evident that you possess a profound inner strength and resilience. Your efforts to address this challenge through writing are commendable and represent a significant step towards self-reflection and growth.

Frequently, individuals perceive that they remain isolated even when expressing their thoughts in writing. In reality, numerous individuals within this context are striving to gain self-awareness and recognition from others.

It is advised that an appointment be made with a professional psychologist in a secure setting to discuss one's emotions, ascertain one's needs, and recognize the benefits of communication in fostering a sense of connection.

(2) Gradually modify one's life plan and adapt to the new rhythm.

The anxiety associated with the return to the academic calendar is a common phenomenon.

Given the necessity of returning to one's objectives and the inability to rapidly adjust to the new rhythm, a profound sense of unease and a significant pressure to adapt are experienced.

To my esteemed colleagues,

It is important to recognize that holidays are designed for relaxation. It is essential to allow oneself to fully rest and recuperate, as this is not a sign of laziness but rather a fundamental need. When the holiday period comes to an end and it is time to resume the routine of school, there is a significant likelihood of experiencing difficulties in adjusting to this change.

Furthermore, this aspect of self-regulation necessitates a gradual approach, with the understanding that immediate outcomes may not be forthcoming.

As an initial step, it is important to ensure that sufficient sleep is obtained. It is advisable to avoid setting the alarm too early, with an optimal time being approximately an hour before the usual wake-up time. It is recommended to gradually adjust to this new routine over a few days, limiting the number of tasks assigned during this period.

Subsequently, following a period of several days, it is recommended that two to three hours per day be allocated to the activities of studying or reading. This will allow the brain to become accustomed to the state of focused attention.

One can create a list of tasks to be completed, even if it is only a few items. These tasks can be completed in a relaxed manner, with the understanding that they are being done at this moment in time. It is important to allow oneself to relax fully and to give oneself positive mental suggestions.

(3) Identifying sources of joy in one's own life is an essential component of developing confidence. It is crucial to establish clear boundaries.

The cultivation of an interest can serve to enhance one's quality of life. It is imperative not to underestimate one's capabilities. For instance, one can engage in the practice of photographing the surrounding environment using one's mobile device, even if the subject is as mundane as a cloud or a tree. Similarly, one can utilize a notebook for creative pursuits such as sketching or doodling, or alternatively, engage in moderate physical exercise. During a period when I was experiencing a decline in mood, I would visit the arcade on my own and engage in shooting hoops on the electric shooting machine. It is important to note that each individual may have their own unique approach to self-care.

It is unnecessary to engage in comparisons with others.

The fundamental tenet of human existence is that life is for oneself.

It is this author's contention that the reader is fully capable of protecting themselves.

It is imperative to become one's own most formidable ally.

This concludes my remarks.

I would like to express my gratitude to those who have read this text.

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

Hello, my dear child. I truly hope my answer can help you in some way.

It's so great that you can come here and express your emotions and feelings by typing all these words. I know it takes courage, and I believe that confident and generous you will definitely come back. And although these emotions of inferiority, anxiety, and fear are something you hate, they need to be seen by you even more. Only when you see them can they be released, and only then can you truly become the master of your emotions, rather than being controlled by them. And only someone who can become the master of their emotions can be true to themselves, can love themselves well, can not be trapped by their emotions, and can take back their own emotional buttons to adjust their state.

I've got some advice for you!

Let's talk about low self-esteem.

It's totally normal to compare yourself to others in today's world. We all do it! But when we do, it can lead to feeling inferior. It's not just those who can't compare who feel this way, but also those who can. I grew up in a similar environment. I was often the one who won the comparison. I was the best among my siblings in terms of studies and always the first in my class. I also stood out in terms of height and appearance. But I still have inferiority complexes. When we compare ourselves to others, we tend to overlook our own strengths and focus on our shortcomings. We often only see the parts of ourselves that are worse than others. The more we compare, the more we feel that we are not good enough. The more we compare, the less good we feel.

Absolutely! We're all unique, with our own strengths and weaknesses. There's no need to compare. If we can let go of comparisons and see that his good is his good, his good does not affect my good, and my good does not disappear because of his good, he has his bright spots, and I also have my area of strength, we can all bloom and live our own wonderful lives.

2. About anxiety.

Anxiety is actually a helpful reminder to take action and find out what you are actually anxious about. Once you know what you want, you'll feel much better! When you are clear about what you want and when you can take concrete action, your anxiety will be relieved.

It's also important to remember that if you're feeling anxious because of your perception of laziness, it's essential to understand what that means to you. Does it make you feel like your studies will regress? What would happen if they did?

Does it mean that your parents, classmates, and teachers don't like you anymore? And what does it mean if they don't like you? It's okay if you don't know the answer to that right now. We can figure it out together.

Does that mean you're not good enough? That you have no value? Oh, honey, don't think that way!

...

Take some time to think about what your deepest anxiety is. If it's the fear that others don't like you anymore, it's important to recognize that this is a part of you that's missing. It's okay! It just means that you don't like yourself enough. There's a law in psychology that says when you lack something inside, you'll look for it outside. When you long for others' approval, it just shows that you don't like yourself enough. But here's the good news: when you can give yourself more love, no matter what state you're in, and treat yourself with a friendly, gentle, and accepting attitude, rather than a hateful one, your anxiety will also be alleviated a lot.

3. Let's talk about fear.

You said that you're afraid something bad that happened before will happen again, and you'll resist communicating with the people involved. That bad thing happened when I was in elementary school. I was targeted by some people and betrayed, etc. It took me a year to get over it, but now, for some reason, I'm a little afraid of the shadow.

It's totally normal to seek out the good and avoid the bad. Those bad experiences gave you a bad feeling, and those people made you feel in danger, so it's no surprise you feel scared. But you've already spent a year getting out, so let's use that to your advantage! What methods did you use, what lessons did you learn? All of this can be applied at this moment to help you get out again.

It's also a great idea to build up our inner strength, ask for help when we need it, and use effective methods to heal past wounds. For instance, talking to a professional counselor can be a wonderful way to safely release and see these repressed emotions, allowing them to flow. Good counseling can help us establish a healthy cognitive system, enhance psychological resilience, and achieve self-growth. You can also express these feelings and emotions that have been stuck through writing therapy, which can also have a healing effect. Reading related books, such as "Embrace Your Inner Child" (by Krishnananda and his wife Amana), "Who Touched Your Emotional Button," "The Power of Self-Care," and "An 8-Week Mindfulness Journey," can also enhance your own awareness and learn how to face your own inner fears.

It's so important to remember that emotions are not who you are. They're just a part of you. You are so much more than your emotions! Take a moment to step outside of your emotions and see that they are not you. Then, take a deep breath and become aware of the reasons they arise. See the message they are conveying to you – what needs of yours are not being met? Then, use reasonable ways to satisfy your needs and use action to become the person you want to be. You will become a better version of yourself!

I hope this is helpful for you! Sending you lots of love and best wishes!

The following is an analysis of the concept of emptiness.

I empathize with your situation. These emotions and pressures can be very disruptive and challenging. First and foremost, it is important to recognize that these emotions are normal and that everyone occasionally encounters similar difficulties.

It is commendable that you have become aware of your situation and are attempting to identify a solution.

The following suggestions are designed to assist you in managing stress and negative emotions:

It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle in order to ensure physical and mental well-being. This entails getting sufficient sleep, maintaining a healthy diet, and incorporating regular exercise into one's routine. These practices can help to reduce stress and improve overall psychological health.

Gradually adjust your lifestyle. If you feel that your current situation is not optimal, consider making gradual changes to your lifestyle. For instance, you may wish to adjust your work and rest schedule, join social groups that align with your interests, or explore new job opportunities.

It is important to maintain a sense of self-worth and avoid comparing yourself to others, as everyone progresses at a different pace. Believe in your abilities and value, and avoid letting feelings of inferiority and anxiety affect your emotions and actions.

Should your emotions and stress become overwhelming, we advise you to seek professional assistance. Your school counselor or a professional counselor can provide support and advice.

Ultimately, you must believe in your ability to overcome this challenging situation. Remain positive and take actionable steps towards your goal.

I am confident that you will be able to extricate yourself from this challenging situation and reclaim control of your life and future.
