A boulder on the mind
Huang, 26, whose job is sales, used to work hard every day, but recently he found that something seemed wrong with his situation.
His heart was filled with frustration and loss, life seemed to lose its color, and he fell into endless darkness.
Every morning he woke up feeling like he was carrying a heavy stone on his back, weighing him down. He began to fear the arrival of a new day, because it meant that he had to face endless pain and suffering.
He lost his zest for life and even hope for the future. He felt worthless and worthless.
He began to doubt his abilities and whether he would be able to do a sales job. His work performance was getting worse and worse, and his clients were starting to lose confidence in him.
Huang became increasingly isolated, and he was no longer willing to communicate with friends and family. He was afraid that they would find themselves in pain and helplessness inside.
He began to avoid social situations and even began to avoid contact with his colleagues. He locked himself in his room and faced his fears and despair alone.
