Oh my God. I might get emotional. Okay. The biggest thing I wanna tell you is that it's okay to struggle.
喔天哪。我可能會想哭。好。我想告訴你,最重要的一件事就是,心理生病是沒關係的。
For anyone who is out there struggling, know that you're not alone. There's other people going through what you are going through, too.
給任何一個正在生病受苦的人,你要知道你不孤單。很多人都在經歷和你一樣的事情。
Being good to yourself—I think sometimes people don't give themselves permission to honor themselves and be good to themselves.
好好對待自己--我覺得有時候大家沒有尊重和善待自己。
What you feel is real, and it matters.
你感受到的是真實的,而且很重要。
What Advice Would You Give a Friend Who Is Struggling with Their Mental Health?
面對受心理疾病所苦的朋友,你會給他什麼建議?
Right now, you might be feeling like there is no way out, and you might be feeling like your only way out is to end it all. But by doing that, you're robbing yourself from the opportunity to find happiness and to realize how beautiful this life really is.
現在你可能會覺得找不到出口,你可能覺得唯一的出口就是結束一切。但這麼做的話,你就剝奪了自己尋找快樂的機會,你將沒辦法體會到生命有多美。
Give yourself a break. Take some time off, even if it's just for a, you know, a day on the weekend or something.
讓自己喘口氣。找時間休息,就算只是,像是,週末裡的一天之類的。
Be patient with yourself. We all go through hard times, and don't let anyone tell you or discourage you from what you're going through.
對自己要有耐心。我們都會經歷困難的時光,別讓任何人對你的經歷指指點點或打擊你。
You know, when I went through what I was going through, I had such a difficult time with my parents. Because they didn't know how to communicate with me about it, and I didn't know how to communicate with them about it. The world is so big now. The Internet is there. There are resources. You just have to know what the right questions are to ask and figure out how to find the people that are going through the same things as you.
我當初生病時,我和爸媽之間有過很困難的一段時光。因為他們不知道怎麼和我談這件事情,我也不知道要怎麼和他們談這件事。現在的世界很廣大。有網路。有資源。你只需要知道怎麼問對的問題,怎麼找到和你一樣在生病的人。
Get off the couch. Just like, get off the couch. I know it's so easy to sink into it when you're feeling crummy. Force yourself on a walk. Make sure you're moving your body. Whatever that looks like—dance, yoga, hiking, football, anything. Just move your body.
屁股離開沙發。就是離開沙發。我知道心情很差的時候就會很容易陷進去,動也不動。但要逼自己走一走。一定要讓自己的身體活動。不管看起來怎麼樣--跳舞、瑜珈、健行、足球,什麼都可以。只要身體有在活動就好。
Whatever it takes, go get help. We live in a place where you can get help. If it takes five weeks, three weeks, a month, just wait patiently. Don't give up. Don't give up on your life, because you will eventually be the person you were before. Trust me on that.
不管怎麼樣,一定要尋求幫助。我們住在一個能獲得幫助的世界。即使要花五個星期、三個星期、一個月,都要耐心地等。別放棄。別放棄你的生命,因為你最後一定會找回自己從前的樣子。相信我。
I just want you to remember that you can create something from the pain that you're feeling. You can help people, and in the midst of all of it, just love yourself, be patient with yourself.
我只是想要你記得,你能從自己感受的苦痛之中創造一些什麼。你能幫助別人,而其中最重要的是,要愛自己、對自己有耐心。
These are things that make you wonderful and unique and develop the personality and develop you into the person you are meant to become. And know that you are loved, and you're special, and you're wonderful.
你經歷的這些事情會使你變得美好、獨特,進而讓你成為你注定要成為的樣子。要知道,你正在被愛著,你很特別,你很美好。
Every day, I'll write down the things that I'm grateful for. And when I'm in those dark places—even if I don't believe it—I will just look at that list, and say it out loud, and remind myself it's going to be okay, and you have so much to live for.
我每天都會寫下自己感謝的事情。當我又陷入黑暗的憂鬱之中--即便我不相信--我會看著那個感謝列表,大聲唸出來,提醒自己一切都會好的,生命還有很多值得你好好活著的事情。
Be good to yourself. Forgive yourself. Be kind to yourself. You deserve it. It starts with you, and I promise, I promise it'll get better.
善待自己。原諒自己。對自己好一點。你值得這一切。從你自己開始,而我保證,我保證一定會好起來的。
Find people who care. And if there is no one who does care, stick up for yourself and advocate for yourself because you're worth it.
找到在乎你的人。如果沒有人在乎,支持自己、撐住自己,因為你值得。
Things will start to happen, motion will start to happen, and it's never, ever, ever, going to be cut-and-dry, easy, black-and-white. I'm anxious, I feel better. Like, it's never going to be that.
But, at the end of the day, it feels so much better to move forward than to stay stuck.
有些事情會開始發生、開始運行,但這絕對、絕對、絕對不可能預先安排、不可能很簡單、也不可能非好即壞。我很焦慮,我覺得好多了。這是不可能的。但最終,你會覺得比起陷在原地,往前走真是太好了。
