Depression, the secret we share | Andrew Solomon (3)

And major depression is something that happens when that system gets broken. It's maladaptive. 24:00 People will come to me and say, "I think, though, if I just stick it out for another year, I think I can just get through this. " 24:06 And I always say to them, "You may get through it, but you'll never be 37 again. Life is short, and that's a whole year you're talking about giving up. Think it through. " 24:17 It's a strange poverty of the English language, and indeed of many other languages, that we use this same word, depression, to describe how a kid feels when it rains on his birthday, and to describe how somebody feels the minute before they commit suicide. 24:33 People say to me, "Well, is it continuous with normal sadness? " And I say, in a way it's continuous with normal sadness. There is a certain amount of continuity, but it's the same way there's continuity between having an iron fence outside your house that gets a little rust spot that you have to sand off and do a little repainting, and what happens if you leave the house for 100 years and it rusts through until it's only a pile of orange dust. And it's that orange dust spot, that orange dust problem, that's the one we're setting out to address. 25:04 So now people say, "You take these happy pills, and do you feel happy? " And I don't. But I don't feel sad about having to eat lunch, and I don't feel sad about my answering machine, and I don't feel sad about taking a shower. I feel more, in fact, I think, because I can feel sadness without nullity. I feel sad about professional disappointments, about damaged relationships, about global warming. Those are the things that I feel sad about now. And I said to myself, well, what is the conclusion? How did those people who have better lives even with bigger depression manage to get through? What is the mechanism of resilience? 25:46 And what I came up with over time was that the people who deny their experience, and say, "I was depressed a long time ago, I never want to think about it again, I'm not going to look at it and I'm just going to get on with my life," ironically, those are the people who are most enslaved by what they have. Shutting out the depression strengthens it. While you hide from it, it grows. And the people who do better are the ones who are able to tolerate the fact that they have this condition. Those who can tolerate their depression are the ones who achieve resilience. 26:20 So Frank Russakoff said to me, "If I had a do-over, I suppose I wouldn't do it this way, but in a strange way, I'm grateful for what I've experienced. I'm glad to have been in the hospital 40 times. It taught me so much about love, and my relationship with my parents and my doctors has been so precious to me, and will be always. " 26:42 And Maggie Robbins said, "I used to volunteer in an AIDS clinic, and I would just talk and talk and talk, and the people I was dealing with weren't very responsive, and I thought, 'That's not very friendly or helpful of them. '" 26:57 (Laughter) 26:58 "And then I realized, I realized that they weren't going to do more than make those first few minutes of small talk. It was simply going to be an occasion where I didn't have AIDS and I wasn't dying, but could tolerate the fact that they did and they were. Our needs are our greatest assets. It turns out I've learned to give all the things I need. " 27:24 Valuing one's depression does not prevent a relapse, but it may make the prospect of relapse and even relapse itself easier to tolerate. The question is not so much of finding great meaning and deciding your depression has been very meaningful. It's of seeking that meaning and thinking, when it comes again, "This will be hellish, but I will learn something from it. " I have learned in my own depression how big an emotion can be, how it can be more real than facts, and I have found that that experience has allowed me to experience positive emotion in a more intense and more focused way. The opposite of depression is not happiness, but vitality, and these days, my life is vital, even on the days when I'm sad. I felt that funeral in my brain, and I sat next to the colossus at the edge of the world, and I have discovered something inside of myself that I would have to call a soul that I had never formulated until that day 20 years ago when hell came to pay me a surprise visit. 28:38 I think that while I hated being depressed and would hate to be depressed again, I've found a way to love my depression. I love it because it has forced me to find and cling to joy. I love it because each day I decide, sometimes gamely, and sometimes against the moment's reason, to cleave to the reasons for living. And that, I think, is a highly privileged rapture. 29:07 Thank you. 29:08 (Applause) 29:12 Thank you. 29:13 (Applause)

" 어떻게 보면 평범한 슬픔의 연속이라고 할 수 있습니다. “我說，在某種程度上，它與正常的悲傷是連續的。 There is a certain amount of continuity, but it's the same way there's continuity between having an iron fence outside your house that gets a little rust spot that you have to sand off and do a little repainting, and what happens if you leave the house for 100 years and it rusts through until it's only a pile of orange dust. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||锈|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ||||||Kontinuität|||||||Kontinuität||||Eisen|Eisenzaun||||||||Rost||||||abschleifen||||||Neuanstrich|||||||||||||rostet durch||||||Haufen|||Staub 어느 정도의 연속성은 있지만, 집 밖에 있는 철제 울타리에 약간의 녹이 슬어 사포질을 하고 다시 칠하는 것과 100년 동안 집을 방치해 녹이 슬어 오렌지색 먼지만 쌓인다면 어떻게 되는지는 같은 맥락입니다. And it's that orange dust spot, that orange dust problem, that's the one we're setting out to address. ||||||das||||||||angehen wollen||| 그리고 우리가 해결하고자 하는 것은 바로 그 오렌지색 먼지, 오렌지색 먼지 문제입니다. 25:04 So now people say, "You take these happy pills, and do you feel happy? " And I don't. But I don't feel sad about having to eat lunch, and I don't feel sad about my answering machine, and I don't feel sad about taking a shower. 하지만 점심을 먹지 않아도 슬프지 않고, 자동응답기가 없어도 슬프지 않고, 샤워를 해도 슬프지 않습니다. 但是我不會因為不得不吃午飯而難過，我不會因為我的答錄機而難過，我不會因為洗澡而難過。 I feel more, in fact, I think, because I can feel sadness without nullity. |||||||||||||虚无 |||||||||||||Nichtigkeit |||||||||||||nieważność 사실 저는 슬픔을 무의미하지 않게 느낄 수 있기 때문에 더 많이 느끼는 것 같아요. 事實上，我覺得我感覺更多，因為我可以感受到悲傷而不是空虛。 I feel sad about professional disappointments, about damaged relationships, about global warming. |||||Enttäuschungen||beschädigt|Beziehungen||| 직업적 실망, 손상된 관계, 지구 온난화에 대해 슬픔을 느낍니다. 我對職業上的失望、對受損的關係、對全球變暖感到難過。 Those are the things that I feel sad about now. And I said to myself, well, what is the conclusion? How did those people who have better lives even with bigger depression manage to get through? 더 큰 우울증에도 불구하고 더 나은 삶을 사는 사람들은 어떻게 극복할 수 있었을까요? What is the mechanism of resilience? |||||Widerstandsfähigkeit |||||dayanıklılık mekanizması nedir 恢復力的機制是什麼？ 25:46 And what I came up with over time was that the people who deny their experience, and say, "I was depressed a long time ago, I never want to think about it again, I'm not going to look at it and I'm just going to get on with my life," ironically, those are the people who are most enslaved by what they have. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||奴役|||| |||||||||||||verleugnen|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||ironischerweise||||||||versklavt von dem|||| 25:46 그리고 시간이 지나면서 제가 생각한 것은 자신의 경험을 부정하고 "나는 오래 전에 우울증에 걸렸어, 다시는 생각하고 싶지 않아, 쳐다보지도 않을 거야, 그냥 내 삶을 살아갈 거야"라고 말하는 사람들이 아이러니하게도 자신이 가진 것에 가장 노예가 된 사람들이라는 것이었습니다. 25:46 隨著時間的推移，我想到的是那些否認自己經歷的人，說，“我很久以前就很沮喪，我再也不想去想它，我不會去看它而我只是要繼續我的生活，”具有諷刺意味的是，這些人最容易被他們所擁有的東西所奴役。 Shutting out the depression strengthens it.

It taught me so much about love, and my relationship with my parents and my doctors has been so precious to me, and will be always. |||||||||||||||Ärzte||||kostbar|||||| " 26:42 And Maggie Robbins said, "I used to volunteer in an AIDS clinic, and I would just talk and talk and talk, and the people I was dealing with weren't very responsive, and I thought, 'That's not very friendly or helpful of them. |Maggie Robbins|Robbins|||||ehrenamtlich arbeiten|||AIDS-Klinik|Klinik|||||||||||||||||waren||||||||||||| " 26:42 그리고 매기 로빈스는 "에이즈 클리닉에서 자원봉사를 한 적이 있었는데, 저는 그저 이야기하고 이야기하고 또 이야기했는데 상대하는 사람들이 별로 반응이 없어서 '저 사람들은 친절하거나 도움이 되지 않는다'고 생각했죠.
