After graduating from college, Dora is full of expectations for the future: having a well-paid and decent job, a successful and professional partner. In the repeated interviews, she found that the society is very different from the school. Decent work often requires a prestigious school and work background, and a successful and dedicated partner seems to be a better girl.
The double frustration of work and feelings made Dora suffer. Subsequently, Dora began to suffer from insomnia, depression, sudden tears, and even suicidal thoughts. She tried to get rid of this painful state, but it took two months to pass. After trying various methods, her situation is getting worse.
After the "Depression Self-Assessment Scale" measured severe depression, Dora finally collapsed and went to a psychiatric clinic in a local hospital.
After the diagnosis was depression, the doctor prescribed the medicine. On the one hand, she took the medicine and reviewed it on time. On the one hand, she told her that depression may accompany her life and she should be mentally prepared.
During the medication, Dora felt that her brain was a lot slower and her spirits were numb: she encountered funny things, although she would laugh with everyone, but she was not happy at all. The expression seems to be just a tool for her to use to prevent others from discovering anomalies.
After much thinking, Dora stopped taking medicine and decided to learn tattoos.
Tattoo can not only play the expertise of her art students but also meet many special people. These two points attracted her and helped her to turn her attention away from her inner sadness.
Slowly, Dora changed from a tattooed apprentice to a tattooist; then, he opened his own tattoo shop. She found a suitable place for her, although it was not a regular decent job; she also gained love and both sides appreciated each other.
Dora is no longer troubled by depression, and her life is very fulfilling.
Medically speaking, depression is a physiological disease that requires medication. Then why does Dora stop taking the medicine instead?
Because Dora is not depression at all, it just fits the symptoms of depression.
Dora caused negative emotions due to misconception and external frustration: the change of identity role made her confused and insomnia; too idealistic goals made her repeatedly hit the wall, self-denial; the inner fragility made her passively respond, resulting in suicidal thoughts.
After adjusting the cognition in Dora and finding the right place for her - the tattoo artist, after regaining the sense of value, her improvement is already doomed. For this group of people with similar symptoms of depression caused by environmental factors and cognitive limitations, they are not sick, why should they take the medicine?
In the process of self-examination of depression, please do not blindly judge according to the symptoms, the symptoms are only the appearance, the reasons for the same symptoms can be many.
For example, I have a physical discomfort. I checked Baidu on the symptoms and found that I was terminally ill and scared to death. The doctor said after the examination, but it was an inflammation and it would be better to rest and rest. Therefore, mental illness is also a disease. To cure the disease, we must first understand the cause and effect, the cause of the disease, and the result.
Therefore, if the cure is to be followed, and the cause is resolved, the fruit will naturally be eliminated. Everyone has to look through the appearance, learn to find the cause, find the root, in fact, find and understand their own heart; understand their own heart, you can find the source of pain.
Most people will encounter the bottom of their careers, the suffering of growth, the loss of emotions, the confusion of the future, and depression. To say that the popular point is "experienced setbacks" and "show things up", do not know what to do, and sad and embarrassed.
In this case, don't put your hopes on the medication and the psychiatrist. The medication can't cure the real problem, and the psychiatrist can't save the visitor's life.
Since everything is going to the door, everyone will show their power to fight depression! Find the cause of your own pain, understand what you think in your heart: have the ability to solve the real problem in a bold way; have the temperament, recognize the status quo, adjust the concept, and let yourself be a horse.
Written in the end: If you are passively retreating for a long time, under the pressure of the heart and the outside world, non-physiological depression will likely evolve into a physiological depression (emotions affect your health).
Life is not smooth, the pain is often there, hope to debride in time, do not let the pustule become severe.
