Everyone is making effort to be in and make a better social stratification,everyone is focused on their problems.Others are scared to share their problems with friends, family and the society, because the problem deterioriate instead of being alleviated.
Have I been very supportive to others
To be supportive is not all about financial support, time, material support and more.Have you heard about the word positive reinforcement? Yes you have.
This is very important part of psychological support. The mind and the body works together. Positive mind and thoughts keeps the body at optimum health status. Psychological support is one of the vital part of support you can give to anyone, but yet less implemented.Do you know that some term illness victims don’t die from the disease, but from the mental torture of the disease.
What is psychological support
Ask yourself this questions;what is psychological support, have I saved a life or family through this, who can give this support and what positive effect will it have on the society
I will tell a story which actually give answers to the questions above.
A young girl in one of the Asian countries, she prepared properly for her Ssce exams and sat for this exams. With confidence and hope she went to check the results of the exam, after the results have been announced. This young damsel passed all her subjects except mathematics, ooh! How devastating and depressed she was.After a couple of months she manage to come out of the depression and decided to retake the exams the next year, which she did but yet failed same subject. She continued motivating herself and tried this exams three times, which is three years gone. Out of frustration, this girl wrote the exam the fourth time.
A day to the announcement of the result, she went to her elder sister and expressed her fears towards failing the fourth time. Her sister told her that there is no need of her checking the result the next day, because she already know what it will be. She told her the family is not also interested in the result because it is going to be same as always. After hearing this from her sister, she decided to take her life that night. So at night this girl committed suicide. Next day morning, this is the day of announcement of result, that morning the elder sister blamed herself for the death of her younger sister, and she said to herself”I am not worthy to be alive” so she also committed suicide. The family broke down. Same day afternoon the result is announced and the late young girl actually passed all the subjects including mathematics. What a sad and tragic event.
If the sister had given a positive reinforcement both lives won’t be lost, so psychological support is not for only doctors, nurses, psychologist, counsellor. It is a work for all of us, yes you are eligible to save a life. It can keep the society together and positive.
CONCLUSION
Psychological support,can actually bring out the critical thinking of the individual and giving him the problem solving skills required. It is easy to say many words per minute, why don’t we use our words to heal a broken mind and heart.
