嘿,凯文。我猜你的生活中有人在处理抑郁症。几年前,我因重度抑郁症住院。从那时起,我就一直在处理这件事,违背了我的意愿和选择。我当然不会在某天醒来,然后决定这种疾病将统治我的生活,以及我家人的生活。这对我的家庭造成了毁灭性的影响,他们有时感到沮丧和愤怒。我做不到的很多事都落在了他们身上。他们不理解慢性重度抑郁症,他们怎么能理解呢?他们从未经历过。他们的愤怒和沮丧只会增加我的(内疚和)沮丧,这进一步加剧了他们的愤怒和沮丧。 I asked my therapist what I could do to try and explain this illness to them. She answered, “It’s not your job to educate your family on this mental illness. My advice would be to tell your loved ones, ‘I can’t explain it to you, as I don’t fully understand it myself. If you love me, please educate yourself about it.’” I did tell them this, and thankfully they did educate themselves. In fact many of them even participated in my therapy sessions. They learned ways to help me, and ways not to enable me. I can certainly understand your frustration! Major depression, and all mental illness, affects the entire family. I hope you get some help for yourself. The more you understand, the more you’ll learn that there are ways to protect yourself and be more at peace. Best of luck to you.
