Taking medicine does not mean being weak, but choosing to take care of yourself. "

Many people can see us smiling, laughing, and living normally, but under that smile, we are unconsciously carrying the pressure of work so much that it accumulates into stress.

After work, we want to be quiet alone, but at the same time we are afraid of being alone, overthinking, distracted, scared, even afraid of what we are going to be. Symptoms often occur at night, heart pounding, heart palpitations, like fainting, and sometimes waking up and feeling a lot.

At first we were afraid of seeing a psychiatrist, afraid that no one would understand, but finally decided to undergo treatment, and realized that we were an anxiety disorder with panitic symptoms.

Today, we have been on medical treatment and medication for almost two years. Everything has improved. Sleep, thought, and mental state and the environment around us are very important.

"Taking medicine doesn't mean being weak, it means choosing to take care of yourself."

If we don't dare to go to the doctor that day, we have no idea what life will be like today. Some people who have never been may not understand, but those who face it will know how heavy it is.

Thank you for being brave and still fighting it every day 💛 and finding activities to reduce stress. ❤️

... Read moreในชีวิตประจำวัน ความเครียดจากการทำงานและภาระหน้าที่ต่าง ๆ มักก่อตัวขึ้นโดยเราเองไม่รู้ตัว หลายครั้งที่เราแสดงออกเหมือนไม่มีปัญหาแต่จริง ๆ แล้วใจกำลังสู้กับความวิตกกังวลอย่างหนัก การกินยาไม่ใช่เรื่องที่บ่งบอกว่าเราอ่อนแอ แต่กลับเป็นสัญญาณว่าเราเลือกดูแลตัวเองอย่างจริงจังและใส่ใจสุขภาพจิตของตัวเอง การรักษาที่ดีไม่ได้จำกัดแค่การกินยา แต่ยังรวมถึงการเปลี่ยนแปลงวิถีชีวิต เช่น การพักผ่อนให้เพียงพอ หลีกเลี่ยงความเครียดเกินไป หมั่นหาเวลาทำกิจกรรมที่ช่วยผ่อนคลาย เช่น วิ่งเล่นในตอนกลางคืนอย่างที่ได้เห็นใน OCR ชวนคิดถึงประโยคอย่าง "night runner วิ่งไปเรื่อย เหนื่อยก็พัก" ที่สะท้อนแนวทางการดูแลใจแบบค่อยเป็นค่อยไปและเป็นมิตรกับตนเอง รวมถึงการมีทัศนคติที่ช่วยเสริมสร้างกำลังใจอย่าง "I Can do it!" ด้วยการรับรู้และยอมรับความรู้สึกของตนเองอย่างจริงใจ จะช่วยให้เราสามารถจัดการกับความวิตกกังวลได้ดีขึ้น การไปพบจิตแพทย์ในตอนแรกอาจเป็นเรื่องที่น่ากลัวสำหรับหลายคน แต่การได้รับคำปรึกษาอย่างถูกต้องและกินยาตามคำแนะนำจากแพทย์นั้น เป็นทางเลือกช่วยฟื้นฟูสมดุลชีวิตจิตใจอย่างแท้จริง นอกจากนี้การเปิดใจพูดคุยกับคนใกล้ตัวและเลือกหากิจกรรมที่ช่วยคลายเครียด เช่น ฟังเพลง ฝึกฝนโยคะ หรือแม้แต่การเดินเล่นในช่วงกลางคืน ก็มีผลดีต่อสมองและทำให้ความรู้สึกดีขึ้นอย่างเห็นได้ชัด อย่าลืมว่า การดูแลสุขภาพจิตไม่จำเป็นต้องเงียบเหงาและโดดเดี่ยว เพราะยังมีชุมชนออนไลน์และฟอรัมที่พร้อมแชร์ประสบการณ์ รวมถึงรับฟังและให้กำลังใจกันเหมือนที่ #Lemon8ชวนเล่า และ #ปัญหาชีวิต ได้ทำให้เราเห็นว่าเรายังไม่โดดเดี่ยว การต่อสู้กับโรควิตกกังวลอาจไม่ง่าย แต่ทุกวันที่เราก้าวเดินไปด้วยกันคือความสำเร็จที่ยิ่งใหญ่ของชีวิตจริง ๆ
