Lone Walker in the Dark

Lin Yu stood on the podium of a large-scale mental health public welfare lecture. The dense crowd under the stage was like a surging ocean, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at him. The strong spotlight hit him directly, and the heat seemed to penetrate him, but his heart seemed to be wrapped in a layer of frost. His fingers unconsciously tugged at the corners of his clothes, trying to calm his inner panic. After all, it takes a lot of courage to make your most unbearable and painful past unreservedly public, just like tearing open a scar that has not yet fully healed and exposing it to everyone. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but as soon as he spoke, his voice still trembled slightly uncontrollably: "Hello everyone, I am Lin Yu. Once, I was a patient with depression..." The audience fell silent instantly, and even the slight cough disappeared. Everyone held their breath and listened intently to his story.
