我的抑郁症状

有网友问我的抑郁症有没有经过医生诊断,算有和没有吧。我没有做过物理检查,但看过Psychiatrist, 几年前和她聊过几次。都不记得她是怎么诊断的我,反正给我开了药,我按一半的剂量吃了两天就痛苦的不行,像要死了一般,physically非常地难受。然后她就说我程度不深不需要吃药,但和她聊了几次也没什么帮助,她建议我去看Psychotherapist,当时没去,一个是太贵,再就是突然找到了工作,感觉马上好了一些,就放弃治疗了。
我的症状大体如下 (已经持续如此八九年了,但程度时轻时重)
1。不开心,几乎每天都不开心。 虽然有有趣的事情还是会哈哈大笑,但没事的时候总感到心里沉甸甸的。
2。拖延症。事情总是拖到最后一分钟才做,脑子里时刻想着这件事,被这件事困扰,感到焦虑,但就是行动不了,我跟老公说就是四肢不听脑子使唤了。
3。上网成瘾。刚开始的时候能在电脑前坐上几个小时不动,有的时候上网到深夜两三点,在网上点来点去,最后都不知道要看什么了,但还是不想去睡觉。
4。不爱社交,怕见人。外人可能感觉不到,那是因为我硬撑着,但实际情况是一要参加聚会什么的就很紧张,找各种理由能不去就不去。
5。睡眠不好,胃不好,皮肤出过几次湿疹。
6。疑病症。整天感觉身体这儿不舒服,那儿不舒服,做了检查又没有什么情况。但身体是真的感觉不舒服。
7。敏感。对别人的眼色,语气,话语都敏感,总是受害者形象。
最严重的几年是07-10年。10年实在撑不下去了,才去看了医生,否则就整天在家跟老公哭,吵,闹。最感激的是老公没有嫌弃我,没有把我当神经病看,现在想想他当时也是很郁闷的吧。
这两年以上的症状都轻微了许多,虽然造成我忧郁的因素都还一样不少地存在。可能和上一份工作有关,也可能和学了一些中医知识有关,也可能和读了一些灵修的文章有关,也可能和星座天象有关,不知道。只知道自己好像渐渐有了一点力量,去做一些正面点的事情与思考。
1、参加体育活动。可以从去gym开始,最好刚开始的时侯有一个健身教练一起,可以帮助你建立锻炼的习惯。
2、做冥想(meditation)或叫内观。有一个基本上全球主要国家都有分点的冥想group, Vipassana, 在网上查一下你所在国家的分点。
我们每个人在生命的某个阶段会困惑,会失去方向。药物并不是最好的治疗,除非病入膏肓的时侯。
Keep writing. It is the less risk of theropy method. If you go to church, there are some programs may help you, such as Stephen Ministry. Only a few big churches offer this program. It is free, and the ministers have your benefits as their only goal.
If you don't mind me being honest here. I must say that it is unfortunate that you haven't sought out the assistance of a psychotherapist due to cost. Although it is expensive to see a therapist, I am wondering how much your emotional well-being is worth to you. Judging by what you have shared in your blog articles, you have suffered much and your husband has probably suffered along with you due to your depression. Do you not think that you deserve the help of a professional who can potentially help to alleviate or shorten the length of your suffering instead of trying to go at it alone and end up prolonging it?
Of course, some people are able to heal from depression all by themselves. But if you have been suffering from it for such a long time and it affects your family, why not try to get some outside assistance?
I understand that it is hard to be motivated to do much when you are depressed and it is very easy to talk yourself out of doing things that can actually help you. But I would still like to encourage you to seek professional help, not just for your own sake, but your family's sake. Family members especially spouses are affected even though they are not the one with depression.
Anti-depressant is not the ultimate answer to depression. Some would like to think so, however, they neglect to notice that human beings are more than biological beings, we also happen to be mental and emotional beings. Anti-depressant addresses the biological dimension of an issue (assuming that it is indeed the origin of the issue to begin with). Unfortunately, it never teaches you life skills, perceptions and cognitions. To learn life skills and new ways of perceiving and thinking about situations and issues, many people need someone outside of themselves in order to help them to see their blind spots that block the pathway to peace and a sense of normalcy.
