Signs of A Nervous/Mental Breakdown

A “nervous breakdown” (or “mental breakdown”) is a term used to describe a period of intense mental distress that occurs progressively or suddenly. During this period, you’re temporarily unable to function in your everyday life. “Nervous breakdown” is not a medical term or a mental health diagnosis, since it does not describe a specific condition. It doesn’t have one agreed-upon definition but is instead used by many people to describe intense symptoms of stress and an inability to cope with life’s challenges.

Sometimes, we ourselves might complain about God or be angry toward him, accusing him of being unjust, unrighteous, and unloving towards us.

Listening with Wisdom

Have you ever reacted quickly and emotionally to what another person had just said, without asking them what they really meant by what they said and getting clarification, but only found out later that you had misunderstood them, that they didn’t mean what you thought they meant? 你是否曾对别人说的话快速和情绪化地作出反应，却没有先问对方他们究竟是什么意思或请他们作出澄清，而后来却发现是你误会了他们，他们所要表达的意思并不是你以为的那样？
