Recently, Xiao Wu felt that he had depression and dared not go out. He locked himself in the house alone and immersed in the negative emotions that he was a waste.
Currently, there are some fluctuations in society. Many people have lost their jobs due to masks, and many physical stores have also closed down. Anxiety has always been on people's faces, like an indelible cloud.
Xiao Wu lost his job during the epidemic. Since he chose liberal arts in college, he did not work in his major after graduation, and chose the tourism and accommodation industry.
This industry was pretty good in the past few years.
"Working in a scenic scenic spot, you don't have to go from 9 to 5, you have free time and management, and you can also play around in the off-season. It's really the job I want." Looking back on the past, Xiao Wu couldn't help but miss it.
"It's still my mistaken choice, and I shouldn't give up such a good job opportunity."
Xiao Wu told me that the reason he chose to resign from the tourism industry was not because of the epidemic at first, because Xiao Wu thought of resigning long before the epidemic.
"I suddenly feel that if I keep going like this, I will be ruined." Xiao Wu said.
My job is to manage B&Bs near scenic spots. I will be very busy during peak season, but when it comes to off-season, it is basically rare to visit and is very lonely. Many of my colleagues who joined Xiao Wu before chose to resign because they couldn't stand the loneliness.
"Mainly because I am introverted and like places with fewer people, so I have never left the job.
However, people cannot always be in this isolated environment."
Xiao Wu told me that it is difficult to find a girlfriend under such conditions because the job needs to change positions from time to time, and it is difficult to meet peers.
Xiao Wu's colleagues are basically local aunts, mainly to assist in cleaning the homestay. In addition to facing customers, they are his aunt colleagues.
was under various considerations, so Xiao Wu finally chose to resign. But unexpectedly, the outbreak of the epidemic just after resigning, so Xiao Wu faced a six-month unemployment dilemma.
Later, there was no way Xiao Wu tried other industries, but Xiao Wu was used to the unrestrained tourism industry and felt that he could not adapt to the "9-to-5" working atmosphere at all, so he tried several times but still couldn't find a job that suited him.
"I don't know what I want to do now?"
Xiao Wu told me that he doesn't have any skills and can't support himself with his skills. But the previous job is not easy to find now, and it is really a dilemma.
"One side is the pressure of unemployment, and the other side is the pressure of parents urging marriage. Sometimes I really feel like I am about to collapse."
Xiao Wu told me that his parents urging marriage recently also gave him a headache. Now his mind is blank and he has no idea where to start.
In fact, Xiao Wu’s situation is not uncommon. When you open the video APP, you can always see some anxious videos. People are already very anxious, but some people prefer to add fuel to the fire or sell anxiety, which makes anxious people completely fall into it and can't extricate themselves.
Young people nowadays rarely put down their phones, and the mobile phone always reflects the current situation. In recent years, everyone has not had a good life, so the videos posted by people who have a bad life are visible to other people who have a bad life. This anxiety continues to spread, just like another invisible virus.
According to World Health Organization statistics, about 1 billion people worldwide are suffering from mental disorders. In recent years, the number of anxiety disorders has increased by 53 million.
In China, people who are suffering from anxiety are pitiful because our country is not too mature for the mental health industry, and many people with mental illnesses are unwilling to find psychologists.
"I don't want people around me to know that I have a mental illness," said Xiaomei, a depressed patient.
Because we Chinese are more subtle and pay more attention to our privacy, we are still very conservative about our inner world and feel that we can adjust it without needing help from outsiders.
However, the treatment of mental illness cannot be solved overnight. Some psychological problems may accompany a person's life and will recur.
According to the psychology master Freud, all mental illnesses cannot be separated from "sex".
Currently, China has a large single population, and many young people’s sexual intercourse cannot be released. The long-term backlog is more likely to cause psychological illness.
So I think there are actually many young people suffering from mental illness in China.
But it is difficult to find a reliable psychological counseling agency in society at present, and people are skeptical about professional psychological counseling. Real psychological treatment is not like ordinary diseases. It can be restored through a period of time of medication. The treatment of mental illness requires long-term follow-up treatment. Now young people have less time, and some people's workplaces often change, which has become an obstacle to the treatment of psychological illness. How to solve the psychological problems of young people is now gaining more and more attention from people, but how to operate it has indeed become a difficult problem.
