各位为你读英语美文的听众朋友大家好，好久不见，我是罗斌，在深圳向你问好。时隔一年，再次做起电台节目，跟大家聊聊天，读读文章，仿佛又一次进入了一个乌托邦世界，不知道电台那头的你这一年过得如何 ？
今天和大家分享的话题或许会有些沉重，但可能大多数人，或者身边人，都经历过，或者正在经历着，它就是【抑郁症depression】，根据世界卫生组织统计，全球约10亿人正在遭受精神障碍困扰，中国精神卫生调查显示，我国抑郁症患者人数为9500万，这并不是一个小数字。
在第77期节目《走出抑郁 Out of Shadows》中主播Benny也曾经做过一起关于抑郁症的节目，并分享了自己如何走出抑郁的故事，今天的节目里，我想继续为大家分享的一篇文章，是出自马修·约翰斯通Matthew Johnstone的治愈绘本作品I Have A Black Dog, 《我有一只黑狗》，而这只黑狗就是抑郁症。马修.约翰斯通曾是一名抑郁症患者，他用极其触动人心的洞察力和细腻柔软的笔触，让世人了解到与一只“黑狗”作伴是什么感觉，描绘了他如何与“黑狗”搏斗、向“黑狗”屈服到与“黑狗”和解、驾驭“黑狗”的心路历程。绘本一经出版便大受欢迎，引发了读者深度共鸣。
今天，我把它分享给你，希望能够带给你些许力量和启发，去面对这只黑狗。
I Have A Black Dog
《我有一只黑狗》
作者 Matthew Johnstone

I had a black dog. His name was Depression. Whenever the black dog made an appearance, I felt empty and life just seemed to slow down. He could surprise me with the visit for no reason or occasion. The back dog could make me look and feel older than my years.
我有一条黑狗，它名叫抑郁。黑狗一来，我就会感到空虚，生活百无聊赖。它会无缘无故突然造访，让我看起来，感觉起来，都像个老人。
When the rest of the world seemed to be enjoying life, I could only see it through the black dog. Activities that usually brought me pleasure suddenly ceased to. He liked to ruin my appetite. He chewed up my memory and my ability to concentrate. Doing anything or going anywhere with black dog required super human strength.
其他人在享受生活时，而我却只能和黑狗相伴，那些曾带给我快乐的事也提不起我的兴趣。它让我丧失食欲，蚕食我的记忆力，让我无法集中精神。拖着这条黑狗，我就什么事都不想做，哪里也不想去。
At social occasions, he would sniff out what confidence I had and chase it away. My biggest fear was being found out; I worried that people judge me. Because of the shame and stigma of the black dog, I was constantly worried about being found out.
社交场合里，它会驱走我残存的自信我最害怕的是被人知道，担心别人说三道四，黑狗带来的羞愧和耻辱，让我时刻担心会被发现。
So I invested a vast amount of energy into covering him up. Keeping up an emotional life is exhausting! Black dog could make me think and say negative things. He could make me irritable and difficult to be around. He would take my love and bury my intimacy.
因此我竭力掩盖，掩藏情绪的生活，让人精疲力竭黑狗让我消极地思考和言谈，它让我喜怒无常，难以相处，它夺走了我的爱，埋藏了温情。
He loved nothing more than to wake me up with highly reparative negative thinking. He also liked to remind me how exhausted I was going to be the next day.
它最爱在半夜把我唤醒，心中只有那些消极地念头，它还提醒着我将会面对对么心力交瘁的一天。
Having a black dog in your life isn’t so much about feeling a bit down, sad or blue...at its worst it’s about being devoid of feeling altogether.
