35岁的Sujata Setia 曾是一名产后抑郁症患者。女儿出生后被抱到她面前时,她一把就推开了。
在生女儿时,她经历了长达26小时的痛苦,之后作为前电视新闻记者和电台主持人的Sujata Setia几乎是挣扎着与女儿相处,她发现成为一个母亲让她恼怒甚至是厌烦。
After a 26-hour labour, the former TV news journalist and radio presenter struggled to bond with her daughter and felt ‘angry and ungrateful’ about being a mother.
Sujata 说,我觉得非常的愧疚,女儿Aayat刚出生的时候将她推开, 但是肉体创伤真的太强烈了。没有人真正的告诉你那个手术的过程多么折磨人。
Sujata said: ‘I feel extremely guilty about pushing Aayat away as a newborn, but the physical trauma was so extreme. No one will ever truly tell you how difficult the process of labour is.
幸好有家人的陪伴,她很快便痊愈了。
图中这位名叫Vijay Lakshmi的老人,是Sujata的婆婆。生完孩子后的Sujata情绪跌宕起伏,在她挣扎着成为一个新妈妈的过程中,婆婆给了她无微不至的关怀。
Vijay Lakshmi, she is Sujata’s mother-in-law. Sujata suffered extreme lows and highs following her daughter’s birth and while she always gave her the care she needed, she struggled to cope as a new mum.
为了弥补内心的愧疚,她给女儿拍了许许多多有意境的美丽照片。
“我想为她制造美好的回忆并且用相机记录下这些珍贵的时刻来帮助她忘记我曾经那样恶狠狠的甩开医生。”
‘I hope I will create enough memories for Aayat for her to be able to forget when the doctor brought her to me newborn and I shooed him away in anger.
她将这些女儿的照片上传到了网上,迅速成为网红,收获了一大波粉丝。
“是女儿教会了她怎么去变得无私和怎样去爱上母亲这样一个角色,如今,我无法想象如果我的生活里没有我的女儿我该怎么办。”
‘My daughter has taught me how to be selfless and has made me fall in love with motherhood – now I can’t imagine life without her.’
那么产后抑郁究竟什么?一位名叫Skorobogatova Yuliya的摄影师在网络上公布了一组产后抑郁症的主题照片,引发很多人对这种特殊病症的讨论和关注。
女性在分娩后可能遭受产后抑郁,与荷尔蒙的变化(怀孕时,雌性激素升高;孩子出生后,雌激素迅速下降)、心理状态的调节以及疲劳有直接的关系。
Postnatal depression is suffered by a mother following childbirth, typically arising from the combination of hormonal changes, psychological adjustment to motherhood, and fatigue.
孤独,持续的焦虑,对孩子的恐惧,对生活失去兴趣,有自残和伤害孩子的倾向,绝望暴躁,这些现象都是产后抑郁症的症状。
Loneliness, constant anxiety, fear for the child, loss of interest for life, ideas about self-destruction are signs of PND
那时,妈妈在面对孩子的时候会充满负罪感,这让她认为自己是一个坏妈妈。 At the same time a woman feels guilty in front of the child which makes her think of herself as a bad mother.
“孩子是不快乐的情感压力源泉”,这让大多数妈妈自己都不愿承认,更别提其他人了。 Most mothers are afraid to admit to themselves, let alone to other people, that their child is a source of unpleasant emotional stress.
然而,如果一个妈妈不能成功的适应自己的新角色,不能得到她需要的支持,产后抑郁症会不断恶化持续多个月甚至多年。 If a woman can’t manage her new condition and doesn’t get the support she needs, it might get worse and last for months, even years.
除了母亲会备受折磨,孩子的成长也会受到影响。他们不能从母亲那儿获得温暖和关爱,只能从母亲那儿感受到焦虑悲伤和痛苦。
The mother’s state is passed on to her baby. Instead of warmth and tenderness, he/she receives a sense of alarm, uncertainty and sorrow.
这样一来,正待成长的孩子的睡眠、行为以及心理状态都会受到影响。
This can cause problems with the child, beginning with development, sleep patterns, behaviour and even leading to certain mental disorders.
他们会愈加焦躁,倍感孤单,缺少自信。
These children are more troubled, lonely, less sure of their mother’s love and therefore of themselves.
“妈妈,我就亲亲你的脸。我知道,你不喜欢亲我。”也许你无法想象是什么让一个妈妈本能的拒绝儿子的拥吻……
一天七岁的儿子Dougie靠过来想抱抱妈妈。而当他凑近,妈妈Jessica的身体本能地绷紧。
Jessica Addicott’s seven-year-old son Dougie went to give her a cuddle. As he leaned in, her body became taut……
小家伙说,“妈妈,我就亲亲你的脸。我知道,你不喜欢亲我。”
……and he said: ‘I’ll kiss you on the cheek because I know you don’t like to kiss me back, Mummy.’
这话醍醐灌顶直戳Jessica的软肋,随之内疚感如洪水猛兽般涌来。
It’s a moment that cut Jessica to the core, flooding her with guilt.
2009年8月,Dougie出生在英国布里斯托尔的一家医院, Jessica坦言:“当我第一次抱着他的时候,我感觉不到母子间的亲密,没有情感流动,什么都没有。”
Dougie was born at Southmead Hospital, Bristol, in August 2009, with Jessica Adicott admitting: ‘When I held him for the first time, I felt no bond, no emotion, nothing
Jessica 从生下儿子Dougie之后便得了产后抑郁症,当出生不久的孩子被抱到面前时,她反复自言自语着“我不喜欢他,不喜欢他…”。
Dougie was a month old when Jessica sobbed to her mum: “I don’t love him, I don’t love him …” “几乎每天我都想自杀”,Jessica 说,“虽然我没有尝试过,但我曾幻想怎么自杀。”
‘Nearly every day I thought about killing myself,’ she says. ‘I didn’t ever try it, but I would daydream about how to do it.’
儿子18个月的时候,Jessica 与Dougie的爸爸离婚了,Jessica的抑郁症是其中的 一部分原因。
Dougie was 18 months old when his parents split up, in part due to Jessica’s severe depression.
然而,直到儿子开始上学,Jessica的病情都没有任何的好转。
And there had been no improvement in her condition by the time he started school.
儿子七岁的时候,她产后抑郁的阴影还一直挥之不去。
“我把他送到学校后,我就不能自已的开始哭,”Jessica 回忆称。
“Once I’d dropped him off, I couldn’t stop crying,”she recalls.
Jessica现在开了博客,呼吁关注产后抑郁症。她说,“很多妈妈不愿意承认自己患有产后抑郁,因为他们认为这说明他们不爱自己的孩子们。”“我想告诉他们这产后抑郁不是你们的错。”
She says: ‘Lots of women won’t admit it because they think it’s saying they don’t love their kids. I want to tell them it’s not their fault.’
数据调查显示,会有15%的母亲在剩下小孩的一年患产后抑郁。然而产后抑郁甚至可能影响妈妈的一生。
PND (Postnatal Depression)affects up to 15 per cent of women within a year of giving birth. But the impact on a mother can last a lifetime.
网友对于产后抑郁症这个话题也有自己的一番见解:
关于产后抑郁症最大的问题是,女人们觉得它们没能获得真正的支持而且深感被孤立。我们应该有一个更加充满关爱的社会,这样一来每个人就不会觉得孤 单和可怜。
什么时候开始我们才能把心理健康也看做是医疗保健的一项常规内容并把它纳入保险项目之中?
产后抑郁症就是我为什么不想做妈妈的原因之一,我的抑郁已经很严重了,我不需要额外的一个生命让我在与抑郁症作斗争时分心。
很糟糕的一件事就是我生每个孩子的时候都有产后抑郁症,如今我又有第三个宝宝了,我的目标就是尽力去克服它,但我知道这并不容易。
请正视产后抑郁症,那不是矫情、玻璃心、公主病……请给新妈妈们以更多的关爱。
