How can I put it? Fear of death is human nature, but sometimes their reaction is really scary.

The weak signal from the body can always be infinitely amplified by them into "am I terminally ill?"

Then, the whole person is anxious and agitated, as if you are really facing a dying patient with few days.

Only the word "qualified" in the last line of the physical examination report can alleviate their inner anxiety and panic. You are like riding a roller coaster with them.

I have such friends around me. This is a true story.

Not long after the start of freshman year, all freshmen were arranged for routine physical examination in the school infirmary.

Not long after the physical examination, a girl in our dormitory was called aside by the counselor to talk.

The counselor said to her earnestly, "Zhao Ying, one of your physical examination indicators is abnormal. Please take a vacation and go home to check. "

Suddenly, her face was livid and she nodded subconsciously.

The counselor seemed to realize that what he said was inappropriate and quickly comforted her. "Nothing, just a little check, which is reassuring."

Zhao Ying still lost his soul. When he came back, he told us that he was very ill and wanted to take a few days off to go home.

We believed it as soon as we listened.

The night before I went home, everyone in the dormitory wore a gloomy face. Everyone thinks this may be the last time to see her. All my classmates came to see me off, and some people secretly wiped their tears in the corner.

The scene is touching and unforgettable.

A week later, when everyone was still worried about Zhao Ying, she suddenly appeared at the door of the dormitory, holding a bag of specialties from her hometown and smiling.

We cried with joy, and she said a few words lightly: a false alarm.

It turned out that she had been taking cold medicine before the physical examination, so some indicators in her blood exceeded the standard.

When the medicine stops, the index will be normal.

After that, any slight discomfort will make her panic immediately, and any form of pain may be associated with death.

For example, a sore throat caused by a cold makes eating difficult to swallow, and she suspects that she has esophageal cancer. Chest pain caused by menstrual syndrome, she suspected that she had breast cancer.

Later, every "terminal illness" of Zhao Ying became a normal thing in our eyes.

Recently, she updated a circle of friends with an article: My head is always dizzy recently. Do I have a brain tumor?

When I was not surprised by Zhao Ying, a friend who was overly anxious for fear of death, another friend who defended human rights shocked me again.

After five years, my high school classmate Zhang Yi and I met again in Nanjing and ate hot pot together.

An optimist, with a smile and squinting eyes, walks around. He looks the same. He hasn't changed.

While eating, I began to notice some changes.

In the past, he only used it to rinse chicken soup pots. I warmly invited him to taste the delicious spicy pot, but he politely refused. Although I repeatedly stressed that it was only slightly spicy, he looked at the other side of the red oil and smiled and shook his head.

"I seldom eat anything high in oil and salt now, for fear of cardiovascular disease." When he said this, he looked like an old Chinese doctor and looked pale.

After he finished this sentence, we were silent for a while.

Then, we try to break the embarrassment by talking about each other's recent situation.

He told me that he was learning health preservation from Huangdi Neijing, including work and rest, diet and emotional adjustment.

Going to bed before 10: 30 in the evening and getting up before 6: 00 in the morning became his daily routine. He said that the fear brought by the news of sudden death on the Internet was a great motivation for him to persist.

After listening, I was dumbfounded. This is a strong young man in his twenties.

Looking at the oil overflowing from the hot pot, I feel guilty.

We ate that meal until evening 10. He began to feel a little uneasy and asked me when the shop closed. I suddenly understood his meaning, got up and reminded him not to leave anything behind and walked out together.

"I'm almost ready to lie down." He said with a grin.

"I know, it's really a little late." I nodded a little guiltily.

We waved goodbye and watched him walk into the crowd, like a clear stream in neon lights, disappearing gradually.

Whether making a mountain out of a molehill or retro fitness, I believe that young people are afraid of death now, but this is not a typical representative of this generation of young people after all.

The typical example of this young man is punk health, who is afraid of death while dying.

In order to catch up with the drama, I stayed up until two o'clock in the morning, and then comforted myself, "Scientific research shows that it is enough for people to sleep for five hours a day ..."

Sleep until noon on weekends, order a takeaway to wake up, change three meals into one meal, and simply cope with the past. Late at night, I was so hungry that I filled myself a snack and drank a bowl of red dates and lotus seed soup as compensation for my stomach.

With the most expensive eye cream and the most expensive hair, there seems to be no scar that can't be alleviated by spending money.

But in the face of physical discomfort, people are fragile and sensitive.

Nowadays, because of the pressure of work and life, young people always seem to have inexplicable physical pain, such as headache, backache, neck pain, eye pain and heartache, and the pain is varied and endless.

For a time, I stayed up late to play after my wisdom teeth were pulled out, which caused swelling and pain in my gums. It lasted for two weeks and I could only drink porridge every day.

I thought of the sentence "pain proves that we are still alive", and I didn't care.

But in order to reassure myself, I checked my symptoms online, and the results of the inquiry brought me fear far beyond the pain itself.

I once suspected that I had dental cancer.

Finally, the doctor told me that my teeth wouldn't get cancer, just because I didn't have a good rest, and dentine hypersensitivity was inflamed.

I also saw someone on the Internet saying that he usually likes sweets. For a time, he was very thirsty every day and especially wanted to drink water. As a result, he suspected that he had diabetes and had to go to the hospital for blood sugar test.

Finally, the doctor told him that it was because of irregular work and rest, which led to endocrine disorders.

"Scared me, a false alarm."

We always seem to be caught in the contradiction between self-revelry and anxiety and doubt, and we are lucky for every self-consumption that breaks the routine.

But everything comes at a price, and all the debts to the body are exchanged for another form of revenge-such as tossing and turning when the body is slow, despair that you must be terminally ill when searching for diseases online, and fear of physical examination as you get older.

Therefore, for young people, whether it is fitness or regular work and rest, the greatest significance of self-discipline is not to be free from illness-after all, many serious diseases that really affect life are determined by genes.

But self-discipline can free us from fear and make us believe that our body is under our control.

There are not many things that young people can control, so at least please control your body.
