Try to feel the difference in each season
Some people say that only after the age of 40 can women truly start the second half of their lives. The second half of my life just kicked off, and a black and white image that I had to face was ushered in.
My daughter was 12 years old and began to enter puberty. Everything was so beautiful originally. The unruly young and youthful, full of curiosity and desire to learn new things, this lively and cheerful girl is full of strong perception of everything.
It was also at this time that I was diagnosed with major depression.
The world seems to be dark all of a sudden. I don't know when it started, and I don't know where it originated. Perhaps, it was an insignificant straw in trivial life that pressed me down. moment.
For a long time, I like to be alone and hate the advertising sounds in the elevator. Even WeChat voice is short 60 seconds, I don’t have the patience to listen to it. I feel irritated halfway through it. I would rather convert it into words and understand what the other person expressed. I can’t finish it for one second. I don’t want to talk all day long, and I don’t want to communicate with my family. Sometimes when my daughter communicates with me, I even make perfunctory things. I had insomnia and hair loss for half a year until I could accumulate my hair into a ball every time I took a shower. I realized that I might be really sick.
When I first talked to the doctor, I couldn't help crying on the phone. At that moment, she seemed to understand all the grievances in my heart. After doubt and repeated testing, I finally accepted this fact calmly. Begin cooperating with medication. In addition to taking medicine in the morning and evening and insisting on exercise, every night before going to bed, I will record my experiences and feelings on the day in the form of a diary, and record the growth between my daughter and I.
Depression has become a common disease worldwide. World Health Organization data shows that there are as many as 322 million depressed patients worldwide. According to the latest epidemiological survey data, there are nearly 50 million depression patients in my country. After the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of people suffering from depression has increased significantly.
"2022 National Depression Blue Book" shows that patients with depression under the age of 18 in my country account for 30.28% of the total number. Among the depression patients, 50% of the depression patients are students, and 41% have been off school due to depression. Academic pressure has become a mountain that weighs on teenagers with depression. In addition, workplace depression, postpartum depression, menopause depression, and elderly depression should all attract the attention of society and families.
In fact, people do not have enough understanding of depression, and many patients with depression gradually gain a deep understanding of depression during the treatment process. Misunderstandings are the main obstacle to patients' diagnosis and treatment. Hope to understand patients and families of depression and feel the pain your friends or family are suffering from when darkness comes.
I hope more people can correctly understand depression, give more care and understanding to your friends with depression around you, reduce some unintentional harm on the road to healing, and have more companionship and tolerance.
