Mental health broadcast script 500 words

Daily mental health maintenance does not need to wait for "emotional breakdown before repairing". Three small things that ordinary people can do are much more effective than temporarily seeking a psychological counselor.

Last week I visited Xiao Zhou, a sophomore in high school. After he failed the mock test, he lay awake for three days until 2 or 3 o'clock. All he could think about was "If I don't get into a good university, my whole life will be over." When he came to see me, he clutched the corners of his school uniform and repeatedly said, "I don't have depression. Isn't this too pretentious?" In fact, this is a common misunderstanding about mental health that most people have: they either think that "undiagnosed mental illness means health", or they think that psychological adjustment is some profound knowledge that ordinary people cannot understand.

I have been a volunteer at a psychological station for two years and have come into contact with counselors from different schools. The little methods I give everyone are very practical. Cognitive-behavioral teachers will recommend that you carry a small "anchor" with you, such as a shiny keychain or an eraser in your pencil case. When anxiety comes up, pinch it for 3 seconds and feel its texture and temperature. It will instantly bring you back to the present moment from endless self-denial. I use it every time I rush to write papers during finals and my heartbeat is fast. It works every time. Teachers in the field of psychoanalysis will recommend that you write 3 meaningless sentences every day. You don't have to fill in the number of words to write your feelings. Even "the braised eggs in the cafeteria today are so salty and bitter" is fine. In fact, it is to let out the small emotions accumulated in the subconscious, and don't hold them all in your heart.

Of course, some students say that these small methods are useless. Indeed, if you have insomnia, loss of appetite, or complete lack of enthusiasm for things you liked before for two consecutive weeks, don’t force yourself to do it. See a teacher at our psychological center or go to a regular hospital. This is the same as taking medicine when you have a cold. There is no shame at all. That’s it for today’s broadcast, see you next week. (Full text 497 words)
