Of course there are many symptoms and many ways of experiencing depression . But anhedonia ( lack of interest or pleasure in doing things ) is really central to depression for me .

当然抑郁有很多症状和表现形式,但快感缺失(做事缺乏兴趣或乐趣)对我来说的确是抑郁的主要表现。

Have you ever gone back to your childhood toys and tried to play with them , but you can t remember why you found them fun ? They just seem pointless and dumb ? Depression was like that for everything . Nothing was interesting or enjoyable and I couldn t imagine how it ever was or ever would be again . Sometimes I felt like I wasn t even present anymore , like the person who used to be able to engage with life just wasn t home .

你是否有过重新拿起儿时玩具想玩时却想不起哪里好玩的经历?那些玩具看起来毫无意义而且很无趣吧?抑郁就是看到所有东西都是那种感觉,没有什么有趣的或能让人高兴的,我也无法想象过去快乐是什么样的,再次快乐起来会是什么样,有时我感觉自己好像不存在了,好像以往和生活斗争的那个人不在家似的。

It's 10.30 am , and your alarm clock has been ringing for the past 30 minutes . You slowly open your eyes , even though you really don t want them to .

现在是上午10:30,闹钟响了半个小时。你慢慢睁开眼睛,即使你内心并不想这样做。

Come on , you can t stay in bed all day again !

快点,你不能再赖在床上一整天了!

But your feet just don t want to get from out under the sheets . Just like every morning there s a shadow sitting on your chest , pressing you into bed , and hurting you so much you can t help it but cry .

但你的脚就是不想从被下面出来,好像每天早上都有一个影子坐在你的胸口,把你压在床上,你疼得忍不住哭了起来。

I am such a loser and nothing but a disappointment !

我这么失败,只会让人失望!

Your eyes , filling with tears more and more from minute to minute , are looking around your messy room . Actually you wanted to tidy up a little bit , but you were too tired after coming home from work . There s still so much work to do .

眼中的泪水一分一秒在增多,你看着周围凌乱的房间,其实你想收拾一下,但下班回到家太累了。而且还有那么多工作要做。

Maybe I should just find a job that I can actually do , as dumb as I am .

可能我该找一份力所能及的工作,和我一样沉默的工作。

As you finally manage to take your eyes off this mountain of clothes something else instantly catches them : A huge pile of cups and plates filling up the kitchen sink . Simply thinking of this unbearable task makes your hands shake . Tears start running down your face again .

你的眼睛最终从堆积成山的衣服上移开了,但马上又被别的东西吸引了:厨房水槽里堆得满满的杯和盘子。光是想想这些让人难以忍受的活你的手就开始发抖了。眼泪又沿着脸颊流了下来。

I must have been a terrible human being in an earlier life to deserve this kind of abuse .

我一定是上辈子造了孽才要受这种罪。

You pull your blanket over your face .

你把毛毯拽到脸上。

I don't want to deal with this world . At least not today . Maybe tomorrow . After three days of sleep . A deep sigh makes its way out of your throat , and it feels like a desperate message from your subconsciousness .

我不想跟这个世界打交道,至少今天不行,明天吧。先睡三天再说。你长叹了一口气,好像潜意识里发出的绝望信息。

If someone saw me like this ...

如果有人看见我这个样子…


Shouldn't you at least try to get some work done today , for the sake of mum and dad ? After yet another big sigh you get up .

就算是为了妈妈和爸爸难道你今天不该至少做一点事吗?你又长叹了一声,起床了。

Let's start by doing the dishes .

从洗碗开始吧。

As you are about to finish cleaning the cups , tears are one more time running down your face .

就要洗完杯子时眼泪再一次流了下来。

You are doing the dishes , there are worse things in the world .

你在洗碗,世界上还有更糟的事。

You angrily throw the kitchen towel onto the pile of clothes you should actually put into the washing mashine now . But you can't , doing the dishes took up too much of your energy . So you go back to bed and fall asleep 5 minutes later , mentally completely exhausted , feeling like your brain's just run a marathon . It's 11 am .

你生气地把洗碗布摔在那堆衣服上,你现在应该把衣服放进洗衣机里,但你做不到,洗碗已经耗费了太多精力。所以你回到床上,5分钟以后睡着了,彻底没精神了,感觉大脑像刚跑了马拉松,11点了。

To answer your question : Everyone experiences depression differently . And someone who s never suffered from them will probably never truly understand what they re like .

现在回答你的问题:每个人的抑郁体验不同,从未受过抑郁折磨的人永远无法真正理解那是什么感觉。
