Liu Xia, as a newcomer to the workplace, works in an intensely competitive internet company. The enormous work pressure leaves her breathless, frequent overtime and harsh performance evaluations have left her physically and mentally exhausted. At the same time, Liu Xia’s personal life has also encountered setbacks, as her long-time boyfriend suddenly broke up with her, dealing her a heavy blow. On the family front, her parents’ high expectations and excessive interference make her feel extremely suppressed.
Originally cheerful, Liu Xia has gradually become silent and withdrawn. She no longer wants to attend gatherings with friends, and her once beloved sports no longer spark her interest. She is immersed in deep anxiety and helplessness every day, feeling exhausted even after long hours of sleep.
She starts doubting herself, believing she is a failure and worthless. These negative emotions continue to pile up, leading to a sharp decrease in appetite and weight loss. She becomes more reclusive, isolating herself in a narrow world, even entertaining frightening thoughts of ending her life.
Fortunately, Liu Xia’s friend noticed her abnormality. With her friend’s strong persuasion and company, Liu Xia visited a mental health institution in Nanning city. After a series of comprehensive examinations and in-depth psychological evaluations, Liu Xia was diagnosed with moderate depression.
To address Liu Xia’s condition, the head physician meticulously devised a comprehensive treatment plan including medication and psychological counseling. In the initial stages of treatment, although Liu Xia experienced some physical discomfort, with the doctor’s patient explanations and encouragement, she persevered, taking her medication as prescribed. Additionally, the head physician employed professional psychological therapy to help Liu Xia analyze the root of her inner pain, guide her to change negative thought patterns, and gradually cultivate a positive mindset. Furthermore, the doctor actively facilitated the rebuilding of Liu Xia’s relationships with her family and friends, reconstructing her social support system.
As time passed, the treatment effects gradually became evident. Liu Xia’s emotions stabilized, and her long-lost smile reappeared on her face. She began to pay attention to the things around her, regained an appreciation for the beauty in life, and willingly stepped out of her home to engage with others. The tense relationships with her family were progressively alleviated through candid communication, fostering a harmonious atmosphere at home.
After several months of relentless efforts, Liu Xia finally saw the dawn of complete recovery. Under the doctor’s guidance, she gradually reduced her medication dosage and ultimately succeeded in discontinuing the medication. The current Liu Xia has reintegrated into normal work and life, like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon, radiating newfound vitality.
