"Since this stimulus is so strong that it is unacceptable, how can one forget it?" I still don't quite understand.kUishA.
"It's easy to understand, actually." The doctor said, "Everyone has a lot of unhappy things happen in their life. Some are quickly forgotten, but some are always lingering, no matter how hard you try, you can't forget them. Repeatedly torturing your fragile nerves, shame, anger, grievances and other complex emotions of being deceived are entangled together, and you will keep wandering on the edge of emotional breakdown. In order to prevent this creature from being too sad, the brain selectively forgets these things, which is actually a kind of self-protection."
I inexplicably recalled my miserable three years in junior high school, and couldn't help asking, "I also have some things that are extremely painful to recall, why doesn't my brain protect itself and let me forget them subconsciously?"
The doctor looked at me and said, "First, this proves that your brain can still bear this, and it is not a huge setback for you. Second, not everyone will experience selective amnesia, but if you cannot relieve the mental stress in time after encountering a huge mental stress, you may suffer a mental breakdown, which is what we call a mental breakdown."
I nodded, roughly understanding what was going on, and asked again, "Is there any way to restore his memory?"
"Of course there is a way." The doctor said: "Selective amnesia does not mean that one has really forgotten something. Instead, the brain is deceiving itself in an illusory way. On the surface, the person has forgotten the incident, but its shadow still exists. He will even be affected by it in his daily life. He himself cannot figure out whether the incident ever existed. Over time, it becomes an unsolvable knot in his heart. Memory can be restored through some psychological treatment, behavioral suggestion and other methods. However..."
The doctor raised his eyelids and said, "Since this matter has caused him so much pain, why not just forget it? Why bother restoring his memory?"
Qi Siyu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, let him forget it, no need to recall it anymore."
I thought that was indeed the case. Since this incident made Ye Zhan so painful, it would be better to let him remain as he is now and not remember anything at all. However, this was not a very safe method, because Ye Zhan could often recall some fragments, and the stimulation he accidentally received from the outside world would also make him fall into greater pain.
"Of course, the best solution is not to forget." The doctor continued, "The best solution is to let him face what happened at that time bravely, stop escaping reality, stop deliberately forgetting, and get over the huge impact of this incident on him." At the end, the doctor took out a business card and handed it to me: "If you want him to recover his memory, you need to find a professional psychologist. My friend who returned from studying in France has relatively good clinical experience in this area, and may be able to help you."
I took the business card. There was only my name and phone number on it. Everything else was blank. It looked quite mysterious.
"Well, that's it." The doctor looked at Ye Zhan and said, "After this bottle of water is infused, he should be almost awake. But please note that his brain is still relatively fragile. Do not let him be stimulated again in a short period of time. If there is anything at the scene that can stimulate him, put it away immediately, otherwise there is a high possibility of relapse." After saying that, he left the ward.
"Zhou Mo, you heard it." I said, "The doctor said that Ye Zhan should not be stimulated anymore..."
"I understand." Zhou Mo nodded, walked to the bed and pulled Qi Siyu's arm: "Sixth sister, let's go."
"I won't leave." Qi Siyu held Ye Zhan's hand tightly: "I want to stay with him, I won't leave him again."
"Sixth sister, calm down." Zhou Mo said, "Ye Zhan will be stimulated again when he wakes up and sees us. Do you want to see him become the same as before?" Then he pulled Qi Siyu up and left without saying anything, completely ignoring Qi Siyu's sad look.
When passing by me, Zhou Mo paused for a moment, as if he had something to say to me, but in the end he said nothing and pulled Qi Siyu out of the ward. "You should take a rest." Xia Xue helped me move a chair to the bedside: "You must be tired too."
Yes, I am really tired, not only physically, but also mentally. I walked over and sat on the chair, while Xia Xue sat on the bed, facing me. I looked at Ye Zhan's pale face and couldn't help sighing. Xia Xue said, "Ye Zhan is so pitiful." I nodded and said "hmm". Xia Xue said again, "Qi Siyu is so pitiful too." I nodded and said "hmm" again.
"Seeing how they look now, I'm very scared. I'm worried that we will also..." Xia Xue bit her lip.
My heart ached, and I took her hand and said, "I'm sorry, I was too selfish. I won't do it again. We are indeed too young, and there are some things we can't afford." I held Xia Xue gently in my arms. I shouldn't let this girl worry anymore.
The bright moonlight was shining in from the window. I asked, "Aren't you going to study?"
"Well, I won't go." Xia Xue said, "I'll stay with you. I don't want you to be so tired alone."
I was touched and pulled Xia Xue to sit on my lap. Xia Xue put her arm on my shoulder and said, "I want to ask you something, you have to tell me the truth." I had a bad feeling, but I still said, "Go ahead."
"Zhou Mo of Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes...does he like you?" Xia Xue looked at me sideways.
"What are you talking about?" My face turned red. "We are just good friends. Don't be jealous."
"I believe in my instinct as a girl." Xia Xue said seriously, "Especially when facing the female friends of my boyfriend, my whole body will be alert, and any movement will not escape our eyes." Xia Xue pointed at her eyes with two fingers, "It can't escape, you know?"
