患深度抑鬱症就好像被埋在雪地裡

|

一些讀者留言問我,“患抑鬱症到底是什麼感覺呀?”在互聯網上簡單一搜索,你就能看到一系列的症狀,比如失去動力,沒有胃口,無精打采,有自殺傾向等等……

但其實,這些理論上的東西對患者非常不公平,因為他們在這過程中經歷了地獄般的生活。

在最痛苦的日子中,我覺得自己好像被埋在一場雪崩後,50英尺厚的大雪下面。

我無法呼吸,我被壓擠著,我不能動彈,我不知道會發生什麼,不論我怎麼努力嘗試也無法掙脫。

但是,我看見人們在圍觀被埋在雪堆下的我,他們告訴我不要恐慌,救援人員正在趕過來。他們嘗試著幫我分散注意力。他們告訴我很快就會得救。他們還告訴我有很多人的處境比我還慘

都沒有用。

depression, suicide, what does it feel like to be in depression

我跌入了陷阱。我覺得自己跌入了一個陷阱。不論別人對我說什麼,我認為自己就是跌入了陷阱,並且沒有出路。我凍僵了,受盡了折磨。我被沉重的黑暗包裹,周圍越來越暗,越來越沉寂。

我不理解為什麼我會束手無策,為什麼我無法逃離。我討厭自己跌倒,無法掙脫的樣子。

所以,按照跌入陷阱的邏輯來說,接下來最應該做的就是死,而不是受這種監禁般日子的折磨。

這就是我對深度抑鬱症的描述,寫給還不瞭解這種病的人們看。

這就是患深度抑鬱症的感覺。

人們不能從50英尺厚的雪堆中掙脫出來。

這絕對不是玩笑。
