美联英语提供： 心灵箴言鸡汤，别让抑郁束缚你
Depression is like a plague that hits every one of us at some point in life. Everyone copes with it in their own way, but oftentimes it's hard to understand what exactly you feel and why you feel like that. Feeling depressed for a few minutes and hours is a healthy reaction to a hard situation or event. However, when you let this feeling stay with you for longer, you risk losing yourself and ruining your life. Even though you probably need to see your doctor, these depression quotes may help you understand your true and deep feelings to know how to get rid of this plague.
抑郁就像瘟神，每个人一生中都有遇上的时候。每个人有自己对抗抑郁的方式，但通常别人很难理解那究竟是什么感觉，也不理解你为什么会有那样的感觉。抑郁几分钟或几小时都是面对糟糕处境和事情的健康反应。然而，你要是让这种情绪持续更久，你就会有迷失自己、毁掉生活的风险。即使你可能需要去看看医生，但这些关于抑郁的引文会有助于你理解自己真实的深切的感受，以便知道如何摆脱掉这个瘟神。
1. Mood swings
1. 情绪波动
“I'll never forget how the depression and loneliness felt good and bad at the same time. Still does.” It's Henry Rollins' quote that often relates to me. One minute I feel the happiest person in the world and the next minute I feel awfully sad. I feel happy because I'm alone, but feel depressed because I'm lonely. It's actually confused feeling.
“我永远不会忘记抑郁和孤独是如何使我同时感觉又好又坏的，现在依然如此。”这是亨利?罗林斯的话，我常有这种感受，前一分钟还感觉自己是世界上最幸福的人，下一分钟就特别伤心。我快乐是因为我独自一人，但抑郁是因为我感觉孤独，这感觉真令人迷惑。
2. Daytime nightmare
2. 白天是恶梦
“I didn't want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that's really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you're so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare.” – Ned Vizzini
“我不想醒来，睡觉时更开心。多悲哀呀，就像恶梦颠倒了。正如你从恶梦中醒来时感觉很轻松一样，我醒来反而是恶梦的开始。”——内德?威兹尼。
If you are prone to depression, this feeling probably sounds familiar to you. Depressed and sad people have a tendency to sleep in but it's not the solution. Exercise is a better option.
如果你容易郁闷，这种感觉，你听起来可能感觉很熟悉。抑郁和伤心的人愿意睡觉，但睡觉不能解决问题，锻炼才是更好的选择。
3. Serious disease 3. 重病
Chronic depression isn't just bad feeling. It's a sign that you need a professional help. If you see someone feeling depressed all the time, don't ignore them. It's crucial that people start treating depression as a serious disease and consult doctor when they can't find the way out.
Barbara Kingsolver said it better than me, “There is no point treating a depressed person as though she were just feeling sad, saying, ‘There now, hang on, you'll get over it.’ Sadness is more or less like a head cold- with patience, it passes. Depression is like cancer.”
长期抑郁不仅仅是感觉不好，这表明你需要专业的帮助。如果你看见某个人总是很郁
闷，不要不当回事。人们要开始把抑郁当成重病来对待，这很重要，自己解决不了时要咨询医生。
4. A cage without a key
芭芭拉?金索佛说得比我好：“把抑郁当悲伤来对待，就只是跟他说‘没事，坚持住，你能挺过去的’，这样没有任何意义。伤心有点像头痛，只要有耐心你就能挺过去，而抑郁却像癌症。”
As Elizabeth Wurtzel profoundly said, “That's the thing about depression: A human being can survive almost anything, as long as she sees the end in sight. But depression is so insidious, and it compounds daily, that it's impossible to ever see the end. The fog is like a cage without a key.” The only thing I can add is to stay strong and don't feel ashamed to seek help… Like she said we are strong enough to survive anything, depression is no exception.
4. 没有钥匙的牢笼
5. There’s always hope
伊丽莎白?沃泽尔意味深长地说道：“抑郁就是这样的：一个人能捱过任何事，只要她能见到曙光。但抑郁很狡猾，它每天都在加剧，根本看不到尽头。这团迷雾就像是没有钥匙
的牢笼。”我唯一需要补充的是要坚强，不要羞于向别人求助……如她所说，我们很坚强能捱过任何事，抑郁也不例外。
Unfortunately, most depressed people refuse to ask for help. Whether they don't recognize their problem or they wish to get rid of it, they believe telling someone about their feelings is a shame. It's not, actually. Many celebrities and ordinary people consult doctors when they feel depressed and they don't feel ashamed. It's life.
5. 总会有希望
Hopefully, Howie Mandel's quote will inspire you to ask for help: “There isn't anybody out there who doesn't have a mental health issue, whether it's depression, anxiety, or how to cope with relationships. Having OCD is not an embarrassment anymore – for me. Just know that there is help and your life could be better if you go out and seek the help.”
不幸的是，很多抑郁的人不愿意寻求帮助。无论是没意识到自己问题的人，还是希望摆脱抑郁的人，都认为告诉别人自己的感受很丢脸。其实不然。很多名人和普通人抑郁时都会咨询医生，他们并不觉得丢人。这就是生活。
Depression is a harsh feeling. When you recognize all the symptoms and ask
for help at once, though, you can feel better in a matter of a week. Love yourself. Don't let anyone hurt you. Surround yourself with positive people. Do what makes you happy. And nourish your positive attitude on a daily basis. These are tiny pieces of advice I can give you.
所幸，霍伊?曼德尔的话能鼓励你去求助：“没有什么人没有精神方面的问题，无论遇到的是抑郁、焦虑或是如何处理人际关系的问题，对我而言，有强迫症也不再是尴尬的事，你只需知道如果你去求助，就有人会帮你，你的生活也会变得更好。”
