Graduation year 2024

As a populous country, China has been under great competitive pressure for children since childhood. Countless exams have left me exhausted, and the arduous high-pressure education has only earned me a ticket to enter. Because I loved design since I was young, I only learned how to draw during the college entrance examination. I only slept for 5 hours a day and eventually got admitted to a design school. I gradually developed PTSD and can no longer calm down to take exams or face high pressure learning. After arriving in the UK, I truly began to learn independently and re-examine myself in a different cultural environment. I realised I have many privileges, such as a good life and someone who loves me. Slowly reading, finding what I truly want is enough, and there is no need to excessively consume myself and pursue the path of unity. However, many of my classmates around me have suffered from a certain degree of mental illness, and research shows that a quarter of people have had PTSD at some point in time, making it a relatively common mental illness. Internal and malicious competition are relentless. I aim to create a space where PTSD patients can find healing, shift their focus, and protect themselves from the issues they struggle most to overcome.
