【Share rehabilitation experience and prepare for the establishment of a public welfare base. I hope everyone likes, forwards, and supports]
Depression is more like a cold in the heart. Colds include mild, moderate and severe colds. The same is true for depression, mild depression, moderate and severe depression, three stages and processes. If a patient goes through these three stages, he will basically reach the point where the extreme will turn back and the bottom will rebound, and then there will be three stages of recovery. This episode first talks about the three stages of onset of the disease, and then talks about the three stages of rehabilitation in the next episode.
If the human body is compared to a mobile phone, the degree of physical and mental matching, that is, the degree of freedom of behavior of a person can be 0 to 100 points, which can also be called the life energy value. 0 and 100 have no meaning, and it is impossible for the living to reach both extremes absolutely perfectly. 0 points is OVER, 100 points is becoming a Buddha.
mild depression period
If you draw a boundary for depression and anxiety, it is 60 points as the boundary, and the degree of freedom of movement or the value of life energy is less than 60 points. The above is relatively normal. The score is 60-40 is mild, the score is 40-20 is moderate, and the score is less than 20 is severe, and the score is less than 5 is the collapse period and the phone may be shut down at any time.
Of course, this distinction is different from individual differences. It is just a physical and mental feeling. There are no absolute measurable standards, such as IQ tests. Generally, people with depression catch a mild cold during the mild depression stage of 60 to 40. Although they feel uncomfortable both physically and mentally, they can rely on perseverance to maintain basic living, work, study and other behaviors, but their efficiency is significantly low, their emotions are prone to fluctuations, and their temperament is very unstable. This period lasts for a long time, or even a few years, and the effect of early foreign aid intervention is good. If you do not seek medical treatment in time for help, it can easily turn into moderate depression.
Moderate depression period
The moderate period when it reaches 40 to 20 minutes is relatively troublesome. The cold is worsened and the symptoms are obvious, especially in the morning and evening.
Basically, all kinds of obvious symptoms of depression and anxiety have emerged, such as social fear, sleep disorders, inability to work and school, starting to close yourself, losing interest in many things, inferiority complex, starting to hurt yourself, feeling decadent and lazy, etc.
At this time, you usually hide and heal yourself, hoping to repair yourself, knowing that you are depressed, but you don’t accept your depression, thinking that you can defeat it, but you are eventually defeated by it again and again...
This process lasts the longest, and many people will last for several years or even more than ten years. Because the disease cannot be accepted, the cognitive awakening and cognitive escalation will be repeated and difficult to recover.
Severe depression period
The third stage is the severe depression period when the energy is less than 20, that is, a severe cold. Everyone has to catch a cold too much, and they can replenish the taste and state of mind.
We know that mobile phone battery power will generally appear red warnings. When it comes to severe depression, it will be a bit dangerous. Life energy is extremely low, you will lose hope for life and cannot see the future. Life seems to be trapped in darkness, desperate and helpless, your head is stiff, and it seems like you are stuffed with a big stone and heavy depression. You want to smash your head open and smash it...
And the mind is like being in an endless wilderness, with gusts of cold wind blowing by at any time, and the heart is like being hollowed out, desolate and empty...
At this time, the behavior of self-harm will be more and more serious. It is normal to cut your hands and hit the wall and thrust yourself with something, and I wish I could kill myself. All social connections have been completely cut off. Even if relatives and friends no longer contact each other, they have closed themselves in the room all day long, as if they have fallen into hell.
has repeatedly thought about how to end yourself, and even write a suicide note, make some after-care statements, and be ready to sacrifice in a mess at any time... But often they dare not act because of inferiority and shame, or they cannot find a good way to end themselves, so they are tortured in half madness and half-zeal, struggle and sink in despair and pain, and suffer.
At this time, you will slowly begin to accept and admit your depression, admit your weakness and helplessness, and begin to realize that you can't beat the depression, and are gradually preparing to surrender.But don't know how to surrender? Where to surrender? This is the most painful, desperate and darkest day in life, just like the late night at 4 o'clock in the evening, it is pitch black.
crash stage - bottoming out rebound period
last, the most terrifying crash period with battery power below 5, as if it will shut down at any time, you will think you are completely finished, OVER.
usually becomes the last straw that crushes the camel due to some sudden external pressure. In fact, I later learned that this most terrifying, the so-called complete despair collapse period is exactly that lowest point and the starting point of true recovery. I call it the bottoming rebound. This collapse seems to be a disaster, but it is actually a blessing, because dawn is coming soon, it is 5 o'clock in the morning, the darkness before dawn, the sun is already on the road, but you don't know.
At this time, the danger is not great, because you have basically no energy to do anything except lying down, including speaking and thinking, not to mention that you also need great courage, energy and physical strength to commit suicide. Of course, you will experience the fear of your body, even chills and trembling all over, unable to sleep or wake up, and sprain in the bed. You have completely given up resistance, stopped thinking, and only maintained the minimum level of life to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, let go of everything else, and brush your teeth and wash your face and personal hygiene will no longer exist. This state is like a patient with a severe cold with a high fever, in a waking and semi-coma state, exhausted, and not alive. Later on, you will find it very interesting to think of this process.
Generally magic will happen here. When you are forced to stop thinking and stop all confrontation, your instinct instinct in your subconscious will come out to save you, take over your wild brain, and make you start to awaken for the first time. Because once you are forced to stop thinking, you no longer consume your life energy. After a few days or even a week of sleep, your energy will begin to recover because it is no longer consumed, and then you will get better. This energy recovery is a power from the instinct of life, the ability we have since we were born is just like the body’s self-healing power, and the mind.
Because of complete despair, you will give up completely, because you can do nothing, you will completely let go. You will think, go to his uncle, live if you should live, die if you should die, and give up your promise and ignore it. It is precisely this thought that makes you truly let go of your heart when you are forced to helpless...
Then, you will think, but that's it.
You will suddenly relax, slowly become enlightened, and start to be reborn...
