How should college students treat setbacks and adversity to improve their mental health?

The following is what I learned in college. I hope it will help you:

A person's life will experience many storms. For our college students, these "storms" may mean failing the exam, disciplinary action, losing the election, lovers breaking up, financial difficulties, employment difficulties and so on. This is what we usually call stress and frustration. Stress and frustration really make us miserable, but they are also challenges and tests that life gives us. As someone said, "Suffering is the best university".

1. Treat pressure and frustration correctly. For example, I can't do anything, I can't, I can't do anything, I've never succeeded, and so on. These understandings have greatly hindered us from exerting pressure and frustration reasonably. Research shows that we can adopt positive cognitive assessment strategies to change our cognition of stress and frustration.

2. Determine appropriate expectations

3. Establish a reasonable self-attribution way

4. Construct a positive psychological defense mechanism. (1) Insist on (2) superficiality (3) compensation (4) sublimation.

5. Establish an effective social support system. Friends, families, mass organizations, party organizations and administrative organs can all provide us with social support.

6. Master scientific self-debugging methods. Commonly used methods of self-psychological adjustment include positive self-suggestion and music therapy. Positive self-suggestion is a method to exert positive influence on oneself through thoughts and words for the purpose of mental health, psychological prevention and psychotherapy, such as: in the face of nervous examination room, repeatedly telling yourself to be "calm and calm", comforting yourself to see the light when encountering setbacks, improving your courage, and so on.
