That year, the death of an elder, job changes, a global mask outbreak, and other events in my life began to feel an unprecedented sense of unease during a day of working from home. At that time, I was not clear enough about anxiety and unprepared for the psychological storm that was coming.
As time went on, my emotions began to develop severe symptoms, and I didn't realize that it was a psychological storm brewing. On a particular day, the storm suddenly erupted, plunging me into a state of confusion and chaos.
When the symptoms of anxiety were at their worst, my brain seemed to be in a state where it couldn't stop. Anxious thoughts are like an endless ocean, wave after wave constantly pounding my mind. At this moment, my brain seemed to be ignited by a high-speed engine, emitting a hot heat. Panic attacks kept coming and going, and I had to be constantly vigilant, trying to control every anxious thought and make it stop quickly. However, this is an almost impossible task.
My brain is like a mobile phone that is overloaded and heats up violently. Touching it, you can feel a palpable hot sensation, and the persistent heat makes me feel as if I have an electronic device running on the edge of danger. In an overheated phone, all the apps become unusually slow and even stuttering. My thinking was also severely affected, becoming sluggish and confused, and it became extremely difficult to organize my language, all of which made me feel a huge inferiority complex about myself.
These symptoms initially affected my work. I used to be able to deal with various problems calmly, but due to my slow thinking, I was unable to complete my work as efficiently as before, and it became extremely difficult to communicate with my colleagues. I felt like I had lost the confidence I had in my work, and I was frustrated by the sense of loss.
Over time, the symptoms of anxiety spread to every aspect of my life. Loss of appetite, barely able to eat a small amount of food a day, and rapid weight loss. Insomnia began to plague me, and the nights became long and torturous. Like a hot phone, my brain couldn't cool down or turn off for days on end, and I was stuck in a mental predicament from which I couldn't escape. The three days of insomnia made me feel extremely physically exhausted and mentally flustered.
In the midst of all this confusion, I began to actively look for answers. At the time, there wasn't a lot of information about anxiety on the internet, but with limited information, I found that my symptoms were consistent with anxiety disorders. This discovery plunged me into a kind of fear of the unknown.
So, after I realized that I was suffering from anxiety, I made up my mind to seek professional help. After some research and understanding, I learned about He Yifa, the director of the Shanghai Mental Health Center, a highly respected expert in the field of mental health. I quickly made an appointment for a consultation, and with anticipation and unease, I walked into Director Ho's office.
Director He Yi greeted me gently with a smile on her face. His professionalism and kindness made me feel an inexplicable sense of security. Sitting at his desk, I began to confide in him about my troubles and the experiences that made me feel helpless during that time.
