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，每個人一生中都有遇上的時候。每個人有自己對抗抑郁的方式，但通常別人很難理解那究竟是什么感覺，也不理解你為什么會有那樣的感覺。抑郁幾分鐘或幾小時都是面對糟糕處境和事情的健康反應。然而，你要是讓這種情緒持續更久，你就會有迷失自己、毀掉生活的風險。即使你可能需要去看看醫生，但這些關于抑郁的引文會有助于你理解自己真實的深切的感受，以便知道如何擺脫掉這個瘟神。
1. Mood swings
1. 情緒波動
“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.
“我永遠不會忘記抑郁和孤獨是如何使我同時感覺又好又壞的，現在依然如此。”這是亨利羅林斯的話，我常有這種感受，前一分鐘還感覺自己是世界上最幸福的人，下一分鐘就特別傷心。我快樂是因為我獨自一人，但抑郁是因為我感覺孤獨，這感覺真令人迷惑。
2. Daytime nightmare
2. 白天是惡夢
“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
“我不想醒來，睡覺時更開心。多悲哀呀，就像惡夢顛倒了。正如你從惡夢中醒來時感覺很輕松一樣，我醒來反而是惡夢的開始。”——內德威茲尼。
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.
如果你容易郁悶，這種感覺，你聽起來可能感覺很熟悉。抑郁和傷心的人愿意睡覺，但睡覺不能解決問題，鍛煉才是更好的選擇。
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.”
長期抑郁不僅僅是感覺不好，這表明你需要專業的幫助。如果你看見某個人總是很郁悶，不要不當回事。人們要開始把抑郁當成重病來對待，這很重要，自己解決不了時要咨詢醫生。
4. A cage without a key
芭芭拉金索佛說得比我好：“把抑郁當悲傷來對待，就只是跟他說‘沒事，堅持住，你能挺過去的’，這樣沒有任何意義。傷心有點像頭痛，只要有耐心你就能挺過去，而抑郁卻像癌癥。”
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. 沒有鑰匙的牢籠
5. There’s always hope
伊麗莎白沃澤爾意味深長地說道：“抑郁就是這樣的：一個人能捱過任何事，只要她能見到曙光。但抑郁很狡猾，它每天都在加劇，根本看不到盡頭。這團迷霧就像是沒有鑰匙的牢籠。”我唯一需要補充的是要堅強，不要羞于向別人求助……如她所說，我們很堅強能捱過任何事，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. 總會有希望
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尋求幫助。無論是沒意識到自己問題的'人，還是希望擺脫抑郁的人，都認為告訴別人自己的感受很丟臉。其實不然。很多名人和普通人抑郁時都會咨詢醫生，他們并不覺得丟人。這就是生活。
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，霍伊曼德爾的話能鼓勵你去求助：“沒有什么人沒有精神方面的問題，無論遇到的是抑郁、焦慮或是如何處理人際關系的問題，對我而言，有強迫癥也不再是尷尬的事，你只需知道如果你去求助，就有人會幫你，你的生活也會變得更好。”
抑郁是一種酷刑，你一發現自己有抑郁的癥狀就要馬上尋求幫助，一周左右你就會恢復。要愛你自己，不要讓任何人傷害你。要和積極的人在一起，做能讓自己開心的事，每天培養積極態度。以上就是我能給你的幾條小建議。
