Xiaolin realized that his emotions were not right, and he had to start from a while ago. Get up, wash, eat, go to work, eat, take a nap, go to work again, eat again, wash and sleep. In the daily life of migrant workers, when they are rarely at home, they skip commuting and have more time of their own, which should be fun. However, Xiao Lin was very annoyed and annoyed. Obviously, he has worked hard to live, cherish himself, and love his relatives and friends, but he still inevitably falls into repeated depression. Obviously in good health, in a harmonious family, and in a peaceful life, but his emotions are always out of control, and he often behaves unexpectedly. In retrospect, he feels incredible, hurting others as well as himself. But emotions are out of control!

"Depression is like a cold. It's when your mind 'feels a cold' from time to time." What a psychology professor said in a popular science lecture a long time ago suddenly popped into Xiao Lin's mind. More than 2 weeks of persistent depression, uncontrollable temper, and amplified quarrels seem to verify that Xiaolin has a psychological "cold". The "cold" this time was still menacing. After careful consideration, he decided to take the initiative to "find a professional to see it". Psychological counseling should have been the first choice. However, after a video exchange, even the psychiatrist suggested to him that he should go to a professional psychiatric hospital and seek the help of a more professional psychiatrist. After a professional diagnosis by a doctor, if necessary, under the premise of receiving drug treatment, supplemented by more professional psychiatric treatment. The love of life propelled him to finally step out of the community and go to the hospital. Like other departments' consultation procedures, Xiaolin first registered online and made an appointment to go to the hospital for treatment on weekends. On the day of the consultation, he especially got up early, took his green code and social security card, and went to the mental hospital on his own. Along the way, he first worried about whether his situation might be because he thought too much, or if the situation was worse than he thought, or if he would meet acquaintances on the road, or if his medical insurance records were recorded in his personal files. In the future, the development of work, or if others think that he is not sick, there are too many things to do... Until he arrives at the gate of the hospital smoothly, the sun in August is brightly hanging in the sky, the heat and the wind are swaying around, and the one on the tree knows with a sound. The sound made him even more anxious.

"What if I really think too much?" He stood at the door of the hospital and didn't move for a long time. But when he saw old, middle, and young patients coming in and out one after another, he encouraged himself again: "Everyone has come, so what if we go to see? It will never be worse than now." Walking through the corridor of the outpatient building, he Relied on a mobile phone, completed the payment of the medical record book, and silently climbed to the door of the third-floor consultation room, waiting for the doctor's call. The waiting process is always boring and long. In what seemed to be a century of meditation, it was difficult for him to control himself. He didn't turn on his mobile phone, click on the circle of friends, and see the colorful lives of his friends. In the whole world, it seems that there is only Xiao Lin himself. Occasionally, patients and family members pass by or come out of the consultation room, just like inappropriate colors in black and white silent films."Mr. Lin, please go to the consultation room." When the electronic screen scrolled and broadcasted Xiao Lin's waiting information, he came back to his senses and stopped thinking about more things. On the contrary, he became less nervous and began to relax, because the doctor was also letting him relax and answer some related questions, such as his recent diet and daily life, whether there was any disagreement, such as various social relations... The doctor is pleasant, and his mood is gentle and stable. , is exactly what Kobayashi has shown before. He couldn't help it and burst into tears. Not much, just two drops. He couldn't understand why he became what he is now. Even though the doctor didn't say anything, he, a big man, couldn't help crying. To be honest, he was under pressure. "Disgraceful," he thought.

Soon, he won't have time to think about this, because he has to go to the toll office on the first floor to pay the fee before completing the physical examination and psychological scale test listed by the doctor, and finally return to the consulting room to wait for the doctor to judge the condition. , if any. The benefits of social security came into play at this time, and the amount of out-of-pocket expenses were far lower than he imagined. Xiao Lin could not help but sigh with relief. He thanked himself for his hard work, small savings, and foresight to buy a suitable one for himself. Although mental illness is not covered by commercial insurance, it is actually covered by medical insurance. For a migrant worker, that's gratifying. The physical examination went well, thanks to Kobayashi remembering to have an empty stomach before departure, otherwise 。there is a risk of a wasted trip. The psychological scale was self-assessed by sitting in front of the computer. He picked up the mouse, clicked the right mouse button, completed the four scales, and immediately got the test report of the scale—moderate depression, severe obsessive-compulsive state, etc. Wait. He returned to the consultation room with the test report and asked what a "severe obsessive state" was.

"There are two types of obsessive-compulsive states, one is compulsive behavior and the other is an obsessive-compulsive mentality." The doctor answered Kobayashi's questions while typing in the electronic medical record. "Do you think about it over and over again when you have something in your heart?" Yes, for the first time, Xiaolin realized that his heart was tied here. The doctor prescribed medicine, patiently instructed Xiaolin on the dosage and usage, and reminded him to return to the clinic in half a month, either online or offline. Until he walked out of the hospital's door, Xiaolin's mind was still a little dazed. It turned out that seeing a psychiatrist was so easy and not troublesome, and the medical attitude was also very good. Alas, Xiao Lin sighed and set out on his way home with the medicine. From resistance to confrontation to acceptance of depression, which is a morning thing, life is lovely everywhere! Xiaolin hopes that through the stimulation of drugs, some hormones that are missing in the brain can be restored to normal secretion, and his emotions can be normalized, happy, optimistic, and aggressive. He also hopes that more people will face up to their possible psychological problems and take the first step to seek help from professional doctors, instead of being ashamed and indifferent.
