In this era, are there more and more depressed people?
According to the 2020 Public Mental Health Insights Report, 81.81% of respondents reported having emotional distress such as anxiety and depression.
We collected some of the speeches on social platforms and carefully read these stories of being tormented by depression or depression. They struggled in their respective worlds, and even almost lost the meaning of living. Some people have long-term insomnia, some people lose their self-identification, some people can't feel fun and feel sad at the same time...
But even so, there are many more people who are struggling to fight and still have hope for the future after all the hardships of life.
Empathy may not exist, but they still desire to be seen, understood, and tolerated.
@Ambiguity
Mood swings are particularly large. Even such "small things" as running out of ink, walking and falling, and not tying my hair will make me feel very angry, and my mood will fall to the bottom.
@Joey_
When others communicate with you, you will feel that you are gritting your teeth, knowing what the other person is saying and what it means, but you just feel that you can't speak, can't communicate, can't communicate.
@Diver_sity
I really haven't slept soundly at night in a long time, and I can't stand it.
@DDDDelegation
I knew for a long time that my psychological condition was not very good, but I always believed that I could regulate, but now it has developed to a level that I can't control, immersed in sadness for a long time, difficult to get out, and life can't find meaning.
@Zimt
Emotions are repeated, when happy seems to be really happy, can be very normal with others, uncomfortable when it is really uncomfortable, always feel that I can't last long, once a big thing happens to me will be crushed.
@southern
The heart started to hurt again, not severely, but every time I breathed, it hurt a little.
@kkio
Sleep at three or four o'clock in the morning, wake up at seven o'clock in the morning, sleep unconsciously has been so poor, before one or two o'clock can still slowly fall asleep, now completely unable to sleep, I want to tell my family that I am so painful and tired, but finally the words to the mouth and swallowed back.
@Anna
When I woke up, I felt very lost, and the constant dreaming made me not want to wake up, feeling that everything in the dream was myself in another world.
@Amalgamation
Laughter is just an expression, it does not mean happiness .
@Holiday
No desire to communicate. Don't want to talk (real and online), don't want to go out, consume energy, have no energy or energy in itself.
@CC
There is a sense of withdrawal, I often don't feel like I'm really alive in society, I feel like a camera, looking around, recording, studying. Disconnected, always feel that good things have nothing to do with me, bad things accept calmly, say, sure enough... And good things really come, and there is no joy.
@Gulululu
The emotions are too thin, in addition to crying other expressions have a hard and concave sense of stiffness, seeing very funny things even if the surface is laughing, but there is an unspeakable discomfort in the depths of the heart.
@comorbidity
It was like that emotion belonged to another soul in my body, and I could clearly perceive it when it came, but I couldn't control it.
@GGGina
After more than a year, I finally plucked up the courage to tell my mother that I wanted to see a psychologist. But it was better to cry loudly, no matter what, I still had to thank my mother, although she did not understand me, but at least after reading my words, I was extremely gentle. Good night.
@Sun
I haven't seen anyone I like yet! Every time I think of this, I want to try to live and let you see the glowing me.
@JJ_PCY
K1 in "Chilling Cicada" said, "No matter what, don't refuse your partner's outstretched hand." "Trust others, learn to talk about your troubles, your own thanks, such an idea must let the other party know." When you persist in the face of desperate things, there will be miracles. So, don't suffer all this in silence, don't feel that what I say is not understood and not valued anyway, so let myself rot and rot and leave me in a damp and moldy place. Go for help.
@FFF
I hope that Xiao Liu can get a good night's sleep tonight, and I hope that everyone can get a good night's sleep.
@Bella
Depression commits leaning on the shoulder of the boyfriend, the idea of light life, he said you don't think so, every time I think of him when I feel hopeless in life, I live again.
@Constellation
Other people's bedside tables, flowers, aromatherapy, night lights ~ cabinets do not know... And I have ~B6, bovine yolk, ibuprofen, trazodone, quetiapine, venlafaxine, roxazepam, alprazolam... Inside the cabinet... It's all pill boxes, saving up and selling rags...
@Minus
There was one medicine that was reduced, which was amazing! Keep up the good work!
@TOU
It's hard to live (disappointing), but I haven't seen anyone I like yet! Every time I think of this, I want to try to live and let you see the glowing me.
@real_lzj
I really want to go to graduate school, but in this state, I don't know if I can stick to the end.
@Flower
Everyone is different, the way they choose to face it will be different, no matter what, don't lose hope for life, don't lose the yearning for love.
@XJX
I have a new perspective on the problem and I have faith. I will tell others that I am living in torture and I am very uncomfortable, but I will also say that it does not matter, I love myself, I believe that I can have the best choice. Because I believe that everyone is imperfect and imperfect, and everyone likes the sun. But liking sunlight doesn't mean ignoring the presence of darkness. And I believe you can face it as strongly as I am.
@C-DRAGON
Seek medical attention in time, actively treat, and hope to see tomorrow every day.
@TTTom
Tomorrow to see the doctor, I have to tell him that I am sleeping too much now, is it possible to reduce the amount, family and friends psychological enlightenment is very useful, the root knot is whether I can apply to the work that is not suitable for themselves ~ In general, the current state is much better than two months ago, find the beauty of life and your own excellent points, do not self-deny yo.
@Healer
When I went to the hospital a few days ago, the doctor prescribed venlafaxine to me, saying that he had taken one pill for the first three days and started adding two pills on the fourth day. It's the third day now, and I personally feel that one pill makes me happy like a normal person.
@hey_juicee
The doctor prescribed me a new drug today to stabilize my mood, which is to treat epilepsy, and I have to say that the medicine is really good, and although the mood is low after eating, it is awake and stable.
@Lovely
Or too many people don't understand, saying some "everyone is under pressure how can you not do it", "others are okay, how can you be so fragile", "every day to eat and drink well and serve you what is not happy" this kind of empty words that stand and talk without waist pain. It's sick, friends, it's sick.
@cuter
In fact, it is to save yourself and treat yourself with drugs. The world has not given up on you, and you should not give up on yourself. Love yourself.
@Littleluck
In a blink of an eye, I have been taking antidepressant drugs for more than five months, awesome, and continue to take them.
@Anonymous
We, like other patients, are just mental illnesses. Don't think that having depression is the same as a terminal illness, and this life is over. Treat it correctly, listen to the doctor should take medicine and take medicine, how to treat how to treat.
@heartbeat
Luckily I've recovered. I especially understand the kind of people who are caught in the circle of depression, the feeling of helplessness, the feeling of world-weariness that I have experienced, but !!! We can win, we can get out of this dark strange circle, when the sun comes in, the darkness is nowhere to hide, you have to believe that we can recover, can enjoy the beauty of life, never give up the hope of life!
@Draco
I can now analyze the source of my depression more rationally, I will face it up to the uninhibitedness that will come again at any time, and generally there will be a clearer solution, so it will not cause too much trouble to life.
@AARON
I didn't get rid of depression, on the contrary, when I had periodic attacks, I always felt unlovable for twenty hours a day. But since you must live in the shackles of depression, it is better to give this shackles a meaning. After the depression, despite the pain, I also learned to focus on what I really needed to care about in life.
@Tonyyy
For the first time in my life, I started trying to accept my imperfect self. I want to cry every day, like a schizophrenic, holding myself and saying, I love you, really I will always be with you, I will accompany you for a long time. Although it seems silly now, it is really useful.
*For privacy purposes, the personal information in this article has been adapted
We've tried to share some real feelings and thoughts from people with depressive disorders and describe to you what a depressed life is like.
It may be difficult for people who are physically and mentally healthy to truly empathize even after reading this, but this does not prevent us from trying to understand and accept the impact of this illness.
In fact, unlike the previous prejudice that "people with psychological problems are depressed" and "depression is an emotional problem", depression is a physiological pathology. Through MRI technology, it can be observed that after people suffer from depression, the structure and function of the brain gradually change. They don't simply don't want to be happy, they lose the mental adjustment mechanism of "happy".
Depression is a disease, but it is also a "dementor" that can be dispelled.
Mental illness is the same as physical illness, and having mental illness does not mean that it is abnormal, but that we need to adjust. All these ups and downs are part of a normal life, nothing more.
It's a race between professionalism and prejudice, and although depression has become increasingly prevalent in recent years, only about 10 percent of patients are willing to volunteer to seek medical attention.
If you are reading the article, if you also have a long-term depression, listlessness, want to seek help but can not open your mouth, please be sure to try to seek professional help. Through drugs and professional evidence-based psychological interventions, or physical therapy, it can give people with depression hope for a cure.
If fighting depression is a protracted battle, then we want to win this battle with you.
No one is an island.
