这些迹象表明你的抑郁症越来越严重了
1. You can't get out of bed or off the couch. How much time do you spend on the couch or in bed? You aren't necessarily tired but the prospect of getting up is just too daunting to face. So you stay horizontal all day, watching Netflix and feeling like a loser. This habit is a significant indicator of depression. People who have been diagnosed with depression tell of the great lengths they go to stay out of bed - stripping the sheets, taking the mattress off of the box spring and leaning it against the wall, or locking the bedroom door. Whatever it takes to keep them out of bed and wallowing in their depression. 2. You have no interest in the things you love. Have you lost interest in doing the things that you have always loved? Does the idea of going to school or seeing friends or going out to dinner just seem like too much to bear? People who are depressed isolate themselves. The energy that it takes to get out of bed and interact with others is overwhelming. So they don't. Ironically, going out and doing the things that you love is a great way to alleviate depression, temporarily. Unfortunately, doing so can often seem too daunting to undertake and so people who are depressed just stay home. 3. You have overwhelming feelings of hopelessness and dread. Do you spend much of your time running all sorts of negative thoughts through your head about how horrible your life is? What a loser you are and how no one will ever love you? Are you 100 percent confident that this will never change? People who are depressed believe all of the negative thoughts that run through their heads. Unfortunately, they also falsely believe that the way things are will always be this way! The truth is that when one is depressed things can only seem hopeless because when one's mind is in such a bad place it's impossible to believe that the future will be any different. The good news is that once the depression is addressed, that feeling of hopelessness can disappear completely! |
