Someone once described their feelings of depression like this:
There is a glass of water on the table. I'm so thirsty, but I can't reach out.
Others think I am lazy, yes, I have the will and strength.
But I am sick. This is a disease where the will cannot control the strength.
My whole life lost its vitality.
Depression is not as easy to detect as physical diseases, and depression is not easy to detect, so some people think that depression is far more terrifying than physical pain.
It will destroy a person's emotional control system, and a little bit of things can make you sad to the point of no more than suicide.
Some people think that some of the mantras often said by depression patients may be able to reflect the information of the disease.
So, what are the words that people with depression may often say in their mouths?
Based on my own experience with depression and my thousands of depression cases, they might say these things.
It's boring to be alive
Freud mentioned in "Mourning and Depression":
The most prominent feature of depression is a very painful depression, disinterest in the outside world, loss of the ability to love, and reduced self-evaluation, so that it can be expressed through self-condemnation. When this situation develops to its extreme, it even vainly expects to be punished. , And the ultimate experience of punishment is death.
If you hear some people often say that I don't want to live anymore, once this sentence appears, it may be a sign of depression.
Because one symptom of depression is suicidal tendency, then to explore why a person commits suicide is to understand the inner world of depression patients.
In the psychological organization I used to work, I did a statistics, most depression will have self-aggression.
To put it more generally, depression often turns anger towards itself. To find out the reason, we analyze their growth and find that some children will have a lot of anger towards their parents during the process of being raised. When emotions cannot be expressed to one's parents, these angry emotions will be shut out of consciousness, and then directed towards oneself, turning into a kind of self-attack.
Over time, an individual will form a habit of self-aggression for a long time. When depression occurs, there will be self-blaming or even attacking behaviors. Suicide is the most extreme self-aggression.
So when a person often says that life is boring, be careful, ask him more about what happened, and tell him to seek professional help if necessary.
Nothing interesting
The second manifestation of depression is loss of interest and loss of desire.
Current scientific research has found that three brain neurotransmitters are abnormal in patients with depression, namely: serotonin (serotonin, serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine).
Serotonin is mainly distributed in the pineal gland and hypothalamus, and is involved in the regulation of physiological functions such as pain, sleep and body temperature. It mainly affects the level of human pleasure.
Depression patients usually have lower levels of serotonin than ordinary people, so they will have sleep disturbances, especially insomnia, and experience reduced pleasure and feel unhappy.
I want to emphasize here that if a depressed patient feels that he is not interested in anything, you must not blame or understand it after reading my science, because this kind of question can indeed find the answer from the physiological aspect.
I have no value
People with depression may often say that I have no value in survival.
Depression and low self-esteem are often complementary. Low self-esteem makes people prone to depression, and depression defeats self-esteem.
Depression often distorts thinking, making a confident person feel insecure, self-denying, negative, and self-loathing.
According to clinical psychologist Dr. Dean Parker, low self-esteem turns past positive or neutral thoughts into "I am not good enough", "I am incompetent" or "I hate myself."
In fact, these are very important factors that lead to depression, so when we encounter such problems, we might as well take the approach of embracing our loved ones to solve them.
When we have feelings of worthlessness and powerlessness due to depression, our nerve endings send messages to the body to release the hormone cortisol. This hormone will delay the body's process of recovering from trauma. Cortisol will stimulate the body to produce a "fight or flight" response. If it is not controlled, it will cause many physical and psychological diseases. At this time, we may as well promote the production of oxytocin through hugs, increase the serotonin in the body, and enhance the sense of pleasure from the inside out.
From the above content, it can be found that people with depression, in addition to the obvious signals sent by the body, often speak some negative and negative language in their mouths.
After reading it, compare yourself, if you often say these three sentences, you should pay more attention to your mental health.
If your relatives and friends around you often say these things, you should also care about them and try to let them talk about the problem. In serious cases, you need to seek professional help.
