当我还是一个大学生,我已经采取了死亡和垂死的类,我们了解了悲伤的阶段。我相信很多的,你可以从你采取任何心理学入门级背诵名单。有此名单的变化,但大多是悲伤阶段包括:否认,愤怒,讨价还价,沮丧,接受。这是一两件事要记住这样的列表为大专测验。这又是另一回事要经历在现实生活中这些阶段。悲伤不知道年龄,种族,收入和性别的周界。如果你住在比佛利山庄豪宅或在纽约市一间卧室的公寓不要紧。悲伤将访问你一天。时间会来时,你会遇到损失。悲伤是不包含在以失去感觉情绪所爱的人。 One can also feel grief over the loss of a job, a relationship, or even your health. It is the grief experienced when dealing with health problems that I wish to talk about today.
对于许多谁前来健康中心查找特定疾病或医学病症的人,悲痛可能,特别是如果你正在处理被认为是一种慢性疾病伴随的问题。就我个人而言,这是我怎么来找到这个健康的网站。我疲于应付我的多发性硬化症的诊断,被告知有关健康中心,以寻找支撑的地方。我发现,我不是一个人在我的斗争。其实大家谁面临的任何躁郁症糖尿病诊断会经历失败的感觉。它可以是可怕的听到您的诊断。它可以是更加艰巨听到你的条件是持续的,你将不得不设法应付它你的整个生活。
我将告诉你们我的个人经历,当我听说自己得了多发性硬化症时,我经历了不同阶段的悲伤。到现在已经两年多了(我是在2007年秋天确诊的),我可以诚实地说,我终于在某种程度上接受了这一切。但有时我会回到最初的阶段,再次陷入否认。悲伤不是某种可以预测的从A点到B点的事情。这并不是说你从悲伤中毕业,然后得到某种文凭,表明你获得了认可。它更像是你日复一日地处理事情,有时同时感受每一种情绪,因为你试图生活在一个不确定的未来中。
否认
通过一组奇怪的同步性,我知道我有MS之前,我有我的第一次MRI检查。我还记得在经历着一些我的病的首发症状,如肌肉无力,感觉失去平衡,坐在我的床上休息的边缘。我的脑子里有类似的思想旗帜赛车“这是什么意思这是什么意思?”我的心会回答,“你知道这意味着什么。”随着每一个新的和奇怪的症状似乎我会尝试与其他合理的解释解雇他们。“我一定是累了,笨拙,或者疯了。”随着越来越多的测试和医生访问将使人相信我即将诊断,我还是抱定想法,也许这一切都是一些大的错误。它不是。我有MS。然而,官方作出诊断,甚至后,我想请神经科医生,“你真的确定吗?” expecting that somehow my doubts could magically change reality.
愤怒
我觉得通过所有的核磁共振检查和检查以及医生的探访,我处理得很好。但当我接到电话时,算总账的日子到来了。我的全科医生告诉我,“在我的脑核磁共振中发现的白质异常与脱髓鞘疾病,多发性硬化症是一致的。”I had multiple brain lesions. I sat there with the phone receiver in my hand and began to bang it upon the edge of the bed. I remember this fire of rage rip through my body. Here was this person explaining this to me as one would explain how to boil an egg. If I were a man, I probably would have put my fist through a wall. But instead, ended the phone call politely, went into my bathroom and screamed obscenities. All of my life's struggles stood before me. I thought about coping with living with a schizophrenic mother, coping with poverty, abuse, my miscarriage, years of infertility, and finding out that my youngest son has autism. And now MS??? "Are you kidding me?" I raged inside. Haven't I been through enough? I even pointed my finger to God and told him to "Bring it on" Anger? Absolutely. This is the emotion I felt before any sadness.
谈判
在我得到最初的诊断之前,我做了一点讨价还价。我想象着医生打来的电话。我想象着如果他对我说:“哦,你这笨鹅,没有什么问题,你没有得多发性硬皮病,所以去享受吧。”I told myself that despite the fact that I hate running and have never done it in my life, I would run a marathon. I don't even know where this idea came from but it was there. If I didn't have MS I would run for people who did. I imagined other things I would suddenly do if I was told I didn't have MS. I would become the athlete I never was. When you are waiting for life changing news you come up with some far out thoughts. Needless to say, I am not running any marathons lately.
萧条
此元素悲伤是对我并不陌生。但是,每个抑郁症有其特殊的细微差别。我开始明白谁是残疾或轮椅到处都是我去的人。就好像他们的全部力量是我的诊断后。我想,如果我一直在寻找我的未来。我抽泣着,在看到谁是挣扎着说话,坐在轮椅上被推由于他的MS理查德·普赖尔的最后片段之一。我在后踢我的房子周围的路径和我的MS散步哭了。当我蹒跚着回家,有些人路过的盯着我。这是第一次我无法掩饰我的病。我再也不能假装这不是发生在我身上。我在泪水从恶梦,我与我的孩子醒了,我不能帮助他们,因为在梦里,我不能动。 Some days I feel like a failure. I feel as though my body has betrayed me. There are times when I feel broken and weary in body and spirit. Sadness? Yes this is a part of the grieving process and there is no avoiding it.
验收
目前已这一切一起接受了我的一部分。我有自己的生活理念,以为苦难是人类生存条件的一部分。每个人都受到影响。我在一次会议在几个月前发表了讲话。一个接一个发言者是一个名叫E-患者戴维的男人。他给了他与癌症的战斗中最动人的谈判之一。当他说话,他告诫我们所有的人群,“你的时间快到了。”他这个意思是,每个人都不得不面对某种在其一生的健康状况或疾病。有慢性疾病的生活是不是唯一的。但是,什么是独特的是如何与它的每个人的交易。 I have felt fear, anger, and a bittersweet sadness over my diagnosis. But I have also felt an incredible joy for those moments in time when I am feeling good. I don't take anything for granted. My diagnosis with MS has made me realize that time is precious. Who knows how long any of us have on the planet? So while we are here we might as well make the best of it. A huge part of my healing and acceptance has been to share my story with others. If I can help someone else by sharing my experiences, it gives my life meaning and transcendence from the pain. Does acceptance mean that everything is hunky dory and you no longer cry or get mad about this? No. But it does mean that you find ways to survive each day and find those moments of happiness and gratitude in between.
我将在这里结束这个。但我想补充一点,不管你通过你并不孤单。有这么多其他人疲于应付自己的一套麻烦。分享你的故事。找到后,其他人可以依靠。希望总是存在,即使看医生之间。我告诉你我的故事。现在,我想听听你的。如果您有慢性疾病告诉我们你是如何应对。我们总是喜欢听到你的声音。
