"Are you sick? What's wrong with you?"
The aunt frowned. She didn't realize that her son was sick. If he was sick, how could she, as a mother, not know?
"It's a mental illness. To put it more simply, your son may be suffering from depression or anxiety."
This immediately caused an uproar among netizens, and a new round of discussion began.
[Surprisingly, it's not a case of being possessed by an evil spirit. I think the boy's symptoms are somewhat similar.]
[Oh my god, this answer is something I never expected. Brother, please get well soon.]
[I guessed it just now, but no one thought about it that way.]
[Same symptoms as above.]
It is difficult for traditional parents like my aunt to accept that their son has this disease.
Her expression was as if struck by thunder, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"Depression? How is that possible?" Her first reaction was disbelief, and her second reaction was that she didn't know why her son had this disease.
Su Xuanxuan noticed that his aunt was very emotional and quickly spoke to comfort her.
"Auntie, please don't be anxious. Let me explain it to you slowly. I know you love your son very much."
Su Xuanxuan felt that convincing this aunt was the key to the matter. Many of the boy's illnesses were caused by his mother and the family environment he lived in.
Auntie calmed down a little, but still found it hard to accept.
"Is that true, anchor? But how could my son get that kind of disease?"
In the minds of the older generation, depression and anxiety seem to be linked to mental illness, which is equivalent to mental illness. If it is related to these three words, it is abnormal.
Su Xuanxuan understood the aunt's point of view, sighed, and began to explain in detail.
"Auntie, this kind of mental illness is not abnormal. We must learn to face it and look at it correctly so that we can treat it properly."
"In fact, these mental illnesses are just like the common cold, but this time it's our emotions that are at fault."
Su Xuanxuan never thought that one day he would have to provide psychological counseling to others here.
After listening to her explanation, the aunt also understood that she had exaggerated the disease.
"I'm suggesting this. After all, I'm not a professional psychologist. If you have time, I'd better take your son to the psychiatry department. The sooner you see him, the sooner he can get treatment."
Auntie nodded: "Yes, okay. I will take him to the psychology department this weekend."
"But why did my son get this disease? I really can't understand."
My aunt still couldn't figure it out. He had never suffered any hardship since he was a child, and he had never lacked materially. How could he be depressed?
"You sure you want to know?"
Su Xuanxuan asked her back.
"Of course!"
As a mother, she certainly wanted to know what caused her son's illness.
Su Xuanxuan slowly spoke...
"Your son's illness actually has a lot to do with you. You love him very much, but you often use the wrong methods."
"Does it have anything to do with me?"
The aunt pointed at herself blankly, and there was one more thing she couldn't figure out.
But soon, Su Xuanxuan gave the answer.
"You just said you didn't put pressure on your son, but I noticed you were putting pressure on him everywhere."
Auntie wanted to interrupt, but Su Xuanxuan stopped her in advance: "Just listen to me first."
I didn't say what my aunt was about to say, and held it back.
"From the beginning, I noticed that you kept talking about studying. Although studying is a student's primary task, it shouldn't be the only thing. Students nowadays are under a lot of pressure to study, not to mention that your son has good grades. He must have put in a lot of effort. You keep nagging him to study, study, study, which means you are constantly putting pressure on your son."
The host is right. Don't push your kids too hard! Society is already competitive enough, pushing us forward. Students are working hard and striving to improve themselves. But when you get home exhausted, your parents repeatedly emphasize the need to study. It's going to drive you crazy.
"Auntie, you have a very strong personality, don't you? I can tell from your face. Adolescence is a very sensitive time. Auntie, you are too strong sometimes. Your son doesn't even have the right to make his own choices. And you speak bluntly and harshly. Even words of concern come out of your mouth like accusations. It's okay once or twice, but if he stays in this environment for a long time, he will definitely become rebellious."
"Your son is quite sensible. He didn't vent his anger outside or do anything bad. But the more you hold back your emotions, the more they accumulate and ferment, and eventually explode."
Su Xuanxuan suddenly thought of what his master said: heart disease is difficult to cure.
Physical illnesses can be solved by taking medicine, but psychological illnesses cannot be solved in a short time.
Auntie stammered, her voice noticeably lowered.
"But I've always been like this."
"One more thing, don't say everything is for your own good. You love your child and he loves you, it's mutual. But this love shouldn't be a constraint, nor should it be an excuse. Tell your child that we work so hard to earn money for you."
"It's because of you that we bought this house and took on so much debt. It's because of your parents that we quarreled. It's because of you that I made so many things."
"Studying year-round is for your own good. Depriving children of their normal social interactions is for your own good. Forcing them to eat food they don't want to eat is for your own good."
Every time Su Xuanxuan said something, her aunt became more frightened.
I didn’t think so before, but now that it’s listed so completely, I can hardly believe that I did it.
"Parental love is great, but children are human beings and have the right to make their own choices. Perhaps you can learn to listen to your children and try to be a haven for them when they are tired of flying, rather than a source of guilt."
Su Xuanxuan was almost exhausted from talking so much, and he hoped that everything he said would be of some help to the boy just now.
"I...I understand." She is not stupid and she truly loves her children.
She thought she would try to change.
Su Xuanxuan nodded with satisfaction, glad that his words were not in vain.
The host expressed my feelings. My family is in the same situation, and I feel extremely depressed.
Although I know my parents have sacrificed a lot for me, I really don't like them saying it's all for me. Without me, wouldn't they still be able to live? Would they stop making money? Would they stop arguing? I don't like being the center of all conflicts.
[Auntie, you must do this! I believe that as long as you change, your son will gradually get better.]
