Depression means that people are sick, healthy people are enthusiastic, and sick people are lifeless. People who can get out of depression have a strong desire for survival and a strong belief. Even if you are depressed, you can feel your distance from the world and save yourself.
May everyone who is sick get better. The world is so big and wonderful, you are definitely not alone.
I used to be a patient with severe depression, anxiety and social phobia, and my psychological problems tortured me for more than eight years.
What are the symptoms of depression and how painful it is? Needless to say. Everyone who has had it knows that only those who have really had it can really understand it.
How did I get rid of it? I read a lot of online books and learned from doctors. They all say that depression is difficult to cure. At my level, it is even more difficult to cure it. Maybe I have to take drugs for life. At that time, all my knowledge about depression came from doctors and online, and there was a downloaded Dr. En En, which made me even more scared. I was confused at that time. I am too young to live like a cripple all my life.
When I was desperate for life, it was a teacher who brought me out. I didn't mean to advertise, but I said what I thought. It can be said that my fate has changed and my life has come back to life.
Although I am not a doctor, I have experienced more than eight years of suffering and have a deep understanding and feeling of depression. Depression can be cured. Many people may think that they may not be cured because of their long-term illness, or that depression cannot be cured. Maybe it's because your negative thoughts limit your chances of getting better. Depression is a psychological problem. Since psychological problems are the most important, self-confidence is also the most important. I have seen many patients with my own eyes.
Nothing is impossible!
Thanks for the platform invitation!
Hello, I see you are also a national second-level psychological counselor. As a colleague, I am here to answer your questions, shake hands and hold fists, and it is a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar!
My main business is not psychological counseling, because of my hobbies and professional needs (I am an entrepreneur in the construction industry, and sometimes the management needs psychological assistance). I started to contact the psychological counseling industry from 20 12. At that time, I had a series of problems in my mood and sleep because of heavy work pressure. These problems have appeared for about three months, and I can't bear them myself. I went to the hospital for examination and diagnosis, and had moderate symptoms of depression and anxiety. Out of self-help, besides taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, I began to understand psychology and was very interested in it, and then I began to read and study after work. Later, I systematically studied psychological counseling courses with professional psychological counseling teachers, and obtained the national second-class psychological counselor certificate step by step. With the help of drugs and self-study psychology, the drug was gradually stopped at the suggestion of doctors one year later. Although there were a few slightly difficult emotional repetitions later, under my own adjustment, my work and life were not affected, my main work was progressing and my career was booming. Personally, although there are drugs, the help of psychological counseling technology can not be ignored. In this process, I feel the gradual improvement of my personality, the positive change of my attitude towards things, the improvement of my self-emotional adjustment ability and so on. Therefore, after work, I try my best to devote myself to the research of psychology and psychological counseling to help friends or visitors with psychological and emotional problems get out of the haze, clear the clouds and regain happiness.
I used such a large space to introduce how I became a psychological counselor and successfully saved myself, just to make it clear with my own experience that psychological problems, whether depression, anxiety, social fear, etc. The treatment is controllable and the prognosis is good. In the past few years, I have contacted and helped many visitors intermittently, and most of them have achieved good results. Here, I take a visitor last year as an example to answer your question.
At the beginning of last year, a friend around me knew that I was doing psychological counseling after work, and called me to say that one of his relatives (alias Xiao Wu here) was depressed, unwilling to go out, and his work and rest were upside down, leading a lazy and sloppy life. These performances lasted for half a year. Asked me to give him psychological counseling. I gladly accepted and made an appointment with him, asking him to take Xiao Wu to my studio to meet first and get to know the situation.
When we first met, Xiao Wu and I had an entrance talk and asked my friend to quit (in order to respect the privacy of visitors). First of all, I have an intuitive impression of the visitor Xiao Wu: 24-year-old, graduated from college for two years, worked as a designer in a foreign company before, and later resigned because he was new to the workplace and had a high opinion of himself, but his income and evaluation failed to meet expectations and he was unhappy. I can see that I shaved my beard, trimmed my hair and dressed neatly, because I came out for consultation. I didn't talk much at first, and I didn't take the initiative to speak. After being guided, I slowly began to express my thoughts actively.
Through talking in class, I learned that Xiao Wu's emotional problems mainly come from work and income; And the cognitive deviation of their own conditions and positioning. Then he described some psychological and physical symptoms in the past six months, such as suddenly feeling like crying, feeling useless, getting up in the morning is very difficult, feeling relaxed in the middle of the night, losing interest in his previous hobbies, and refusing friends' invitations to go out for various reasons. On the body, I have a feeling of blocked throat, palpitation, abdominal distension, fatigue and wearing a hat on my head. After I got this information, I tested it with SDS, SAS and SCL-90. The results show that Xiao Wu has moderate depression, anxiety, mild fear, paranoia and aggression. It can be preliminarily judged that it is depressive neurosis with anxiety symptoms.
On this basis, Xiao Wu and I agreed to consult six times a month, twice a week and once a week for the next four weeks. The main way of counseling is cognitive behavioral therapy. There is no specific consultation process here, but it is simply divided into several main steps:
1. Determine the consulting goal: change the existing misconceptions, get to know yourself reasonably, change your work and rest, and return to normal life.
2. Determine the problem: I asked the question as a consultant, and Xiao Wu checked himself as a visitor, from which I found the root of the emotional problem.
3. Test the superficial misconceptions: let Xiao Wu experience his previous misconceptions through suggestions, demonstrations and other methods.
4. Correct the core misunderstanding: Using semantic analysis technology is the most critical step. Attribution and cognitive reconstruction are carried out in this step, which makes Xiao Wu realize that he does have some problems in some behaviors and cognition, but he is no different from normal people in other aspects.
5. Further change cognition and consolidate new ideas. At the end of each consultation, I will leave some tasks for Xiao Wu to complete, such as reading psychology books, going out to learn about the work and life of friends of the same age and so on.
After more than a month of consultation, Xiao Wu basically changed his previous misconceptions and his work and rest were obviously improved. He has regained his interest in his former hobbies and is willing to make friends. He said he would start looking for a job again after a break.
As far as I know recently, he worked in another design company for nearly a year and completed several good projects, as if he had a girlfriend. Compared with decadence a year ago, the whole person has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The answer is about to be revealed. Through my own experience in fighting depression and my consultation with a visitor, I think this can give a more detailed answer to your question.
I haven't been in the consulting field for a few years, but I'm confused and my answer is very poor. As a peer of psychological counseling, we will have the opportunity to learn from each other and make progress together in the future. I wish you success in your work, so that every visitor can get rid of the haze and find happiness again.
I have opened a shop for more than ten years, and I can't go on. The unit is also dying. It was caused by the failure to change jobs smoothly. I was working the night shift that day and had an attack at noon (it was easy to go to work and watch the surveillance alone). I think I can only get rid of it if I die. I am thinking about what kind of death will not be so painful. But I still miss my son very much, thinking about how bad it is for his growth to die like this. It was a winter night, and I couldn't sit still, so I circled in my monitoring room. It's finally a little bright after such a long night. I called my sister and asked her to wait for me in the hospital. I didn't tell my wife because I was afraid it would affect her work and worry him. If the doctor is not here this day, I really feel that I can't do it. Later, I prescribed medicine to go home and take medicine to sleep. For the first few days, I couldn't sleep and eat without sleeping pills. I forced myself to take a few bites. I feel tired and bored watching TV. My heart is always like a stone. Two days later, a friend called me for something. He heard me in the wrong tone (he had a friend who was depressed) and said he would come to see me. In the evening, we talked for a long time. Another day passed, and I felt much more relaxed that night.
Then I rested at home for half a month. It's weird, too During that time, the weather was surprisingly good. It is sunny every day. If it rains, I may not be able to stand it. Sometimes I go to the park with my friends, and sometimes I go alone. If you can't stay at home, you will have fear. I look forward to my wife getting off work every day, and I feel much more at ease with her around.
I've been taking the medicine for about half a year, but I think I'll stop taking it soon. More than three years have passed and my daughter is two years old. It's okay.
People who have experienced depression meet the devil. Ordinary people can't understand. When I get better, I told my wife that I hope no one in the world will feel this pain again. This disease should be seen in the hospital first. The company of family is very important. Those who should put down their work should also put down, have a rest, go out as much as possible and communicate with people as much as possible. Take everything lightly.
People are always going to die, so why hurry! There are always too many possibilities and unknowns in life. Taste life with a normal heart.
I have been suffering from depression for more than ten years, mainly because I am unhappy every day and I am not interested in anything. Irritable, afraid of excitement. Encounter unpleasant things. Easy to get emotional. Easy to lose sleep. Despair, in the later stage, happens once a day or two. There is nothing unhappy about it. Suddenly I'm unhappy. It seems that he is ill. It will take a long time to get better. Just want to die. I find it boring to live. Despair. Life is no fun. Not interested in anything fun and happy. That kind of unhappiness is like a wound on the body. It hurts. It hurts. It really hurts that feeling. Wound pain is just pain. But when depression comes, I am not happy. Very unhappy. Want to die. Really want to die. I thought it would be comfortable to die.
Later, a girl tricked me into doing pyramid schemes in Jinzhou, Hubei. Went for half a month. Influenced by the people inside. The people in it are very complicated, everyone has it. There are all kinds of messy people in society. This is his (their) concern for me. Encourage. There is also hope for future life. Persistent pursuit of career. It was the atmosphere inside that awakened my hope for the future. I have renewed hope for this life. Because at that time, I was very suspicious that this was a pyramid scheme. I'm not sure if it's a pyramid scheme.
I came back over two weeks ago. 70% better. Later, I planned to go again, but my family wouldn't let me. But the frequency of illness is less, once a week. Time is also short. The intensity is also much lighter. It's been years. I have a lovely son. Maybe God helped me. My son is very cute. He has all the advantages I like. Kindness rekindled hope for future life. It's okay now. I have taken a lot of medicine before, and my mother's medicine is very expensive. I just want to sleep. I feel much better. I was stimulated and did it again. It is really bitter. Personally, I think heart disease needs a cardiologist. The medicine in the hospital is incurable.
I can't remember how many years I have been suffering from depression. I didn't know why you were alive until I was 5 years old, because my mother often scolded me why you didn't die! I often had nightmares at that time, and then I was afraid of death, because I was too timid, not afraid of death but of pain.
