As mentioned above, secondary school patients will have this kind of spontaneous reaction when they encounter the psychological wall, and they will ask God to help them. In fact, what they encounter is nothing but the setbacks that most people will encounter, not the so-called "problems" that they intensify under their own psychological cues, but their excess self-consciousness is competing with themselves, even if vague Realizing that I was starting to stray from the norm, and due to the typical symptom of "Who the fuck cares" in the second grade, my unreasonable and incompatible thoughts were further expanded and even swallowed up the consciousness of the id.
What are the thoughts of Craig in the film? It's just a matter of studies and love. Depressed, so if you can't go to summer camp, you can't go to a good school. If you can't go to a good school, you can't have a good job. If you don't have a good job, you can't have a good life. In the 1900s, his parents who were bouncing around all day could not give him much help in life and thinking, and even those words of encouragement in Craig's view could only make him more self-blame for not satisfying his parents. His friend is an all-rounder in his eyes. He is proficient in everything. He even came out on top in the issue of love and snatched away the sweetheart he thought. In front of his friends, he would only feel more inferior. His school was a trapped and stressful place with countless honored classmates, teachers who threatened to fail classes when absent, and...
so he was depressed.
What is the logic? The problem is that he keeps suggesting that this is an unsolved circle. And the truth is, as long as one link in this circle is untied, the rest will be solved. In this seemingly bizarre depression treatment center, he met all kinds of people, each of whom has a very different life trajectory, each person is good at different fields, and each person encounters strange problems. But they all walked into this depression treatment center just like this young middle school patient. Like in the SUM 41 The Hell Song: Everybody got their problems, everybody got something to tell you, it's just matter how you solve them, and you see the way you have been through.
But luckily, his Self-blame, low self-esteem and even depression have not destroyed his personality. He is still a young man full of shining points who is bound to write his own life path. He is only a "secondary school". Modern media are always advocating a "maverick life", but they ignore the impact of such propaganda on young people in their growing period. They need a sense of identity, affirmation from others, and meeting their own expectations. These universal psychological needs can be expressed in different ways, and art is one of them. In contrast, Craig is fortunate. He realized the bottleneck that he needed to break through at an earlier stage in his life: set an appropriate expectation and satisfy himself. He realized that his family, his friends, his school, were part of his joy, not a source of stress.
As a result, this middle school patient was discharged from the hospital happily. He no longer thought of himself as a special one, and his high expectations were also eliminated. He also brought a surprise to everyone: he lived his life on the road of art. rather than living a life of the norm that lives up to the expectations of the parents.
What more do you want? Well, you want to have an adventure too, then take a sigh of relief at the end and say, "Whatever sucks is still MY life"?
