我能体会到对方的感受吗?

|

一个读者在我的那篇名为《不要对抑郁症患者说的10件事》的博文下面留了言,问了颇让我头疼的问题:“你能体会到另一方的感受吗?照顾一个抑郁的女儿,担心自己说的什么话会引起她的过激行为,为她的状况担心,为她心痛…?”

我感受不到。我从来没有照顾过得抑郁症的人。

但我能體會,因为我看到Timmie是怎样必須對待我這個抑鬱症患者的。

只有令人难以理解的极少數人,他们能够长期照顾一些不能自控,丧失理智,充满负面情绪的人,同時自己却仍然保持活力。

因此我要向这位读者及所有身心疲惫地努力照顾他们所爱的人的勇士們致敬!

我写那篇博客不是为了抱怨也不是我不知感恩。之所以写了它,嗯,那是因为彼时彼刻那就是我的所思所感。它不意味着我无视那些在我身边给我关爱並照顾我的亲友团。上帝作证,我不抑郁的时候已经是很难对付了,再加上抑郁这剂猛药我可以成为可怕的恶魔!

我只是想写些东西告诉那些偶尔来访的认为抑郁症患者就是一群不知感恩的人的读者们,我们希望你们为我们做些什么。我们只是不知道该如何表达自己的感恩,因为我们在自己的难以言表的绝望中陷入的太深,或者我们对自己的痛恨让我们精疲力尽,没办法相信会有人仍然爱我们这样卑鄙的人。(没错,这不是理智的想法,但问题是我们理智不起来…)

但,还是很感谢你。
