Explanation: Vladislav (name changed), in a situation of student overload, broke into a psychopathic manifestation, rioted, the roof moved out for a couple of hours. The psychiatrist prescribed Vladislav pills that both calmed him and slowed him down, the previously smart and peppy young man became temporarily slow and stupid. With a decrease in doses, Vladislav began to return to his former normal state, but everything does not happen immediately, and he sent a letter (the author’s punctuation is preserved):
Hello Nikolai Ivanovich
I wanted to ask you if I am a strong person. Before the breakdown, I would have answered yes without hesitation, but now I have the feeling that I am a gnawing and pooping creature that should be shot for humane reasons. What do you think, looking from the side
Answer N.I. Kozlova
Vladislav, a strong personality is later and not immediately, first of all, you need to be a reasonable being. And your letter is more emotional than rational.
Remember: when you were a child, you were at least seven years old, like all other children, first of all, you were that sweet creature who often loved to eat, and then freed yourself from it. How then to treat children? — Probably with love, because children grow up and gradually turn into adults.
If you break your leg, you will also become a little disabled for a while, a little-functional being. Shoot like that? No, wait for recovery.
You slow down — not you, you are slowed down by pills. You are now in the recovery stage, much better in comparison with the situation immediately after, but apparently there will still be consequences for several months. Maybe in a couple of years some echoes will be felt. So what? Whining (yelling “shoot me!”) or calmly wait?
A man has the ability and duty to wait calmly. How many do you need.
You, if you are a man and a man, have a duty to be a creature not whining, but smart and useful. Develop your body and psyche, train your soul and spirit, learn to smile again and train your speed of thinking. Learn collected movements and different types of gait. Learn, work, not Noah.
Make a work plan and start working.
Have you agreed?
Result
There are no miracles at all, and Vladislav did not immediately return to his former self. But returned. Everything happens in life. Strength is not about never falling. The strength is to get up each time and move forward further. Fall — less often, go — more confident and beautiful.
We can do this!
