Don't suffer from your depression in silence

 

일단, 6분 약간 넘는 분량이고, speech 자체가, 소그룹으로 이뤄진거 같이, 관중들이 상대적으로 적습니다. 이런 걸 보면, TED speech 자체가 항상 웅장하고, 큰 주제가 아닌, 자신의 애기를 하면서, 사람들에게, 힘과 용기를 줄 수 있는 작은 이야기들이 모인 집합체 같은 느낌도 듭니다.

그리고, 자신의 이야기를 애기하면서도, 상대방이 잘 이해하고, 공감 할 수 있게 애기를 해야하는 것도 중요하게 생각해서 그런지, 거의 모든 speech 자체가, Diction이 좋습니다.

서론이 길었네요. 일단 이야기 전반적으로, 제목에서 유추하셨듯이, depression에 대한 내용입니다.

자신은 정말 좋은 가족들의 사랑을 받고, 나름대로, 사회적으로 성공을 했지만, 우울증을 가지고 있다는 것을 부정해왔습니다. 그런데, 어느날, 자신의 조카가 우울증을 가지고 고군분투 하다가, 끝내, 자살을 했다는 이야기를 합니다.

그때, 느낌을 전달하면서, 자신도 우울증에 대해서, 다시 한번 생각하고, 방법을 찾아, 이겨낼려고 노력하는 모습에 대해서, 애기를 합니다.

마지막으로, 우울증을 가지고 있다고 해서, 잘못된게 아니고, 그냥 사람의 감정이니, 주위 사람들에게 도움을 청해, 이겨낼 방법을 찾으라는 메세지를 남기면, speech를 마무리 합니다.

저 또한, 세상을 살면서, 공허함 및 우울한 감정이 들 때는 이런 감정 자체도 사치이고, 가지면 안되는 것이라고 생각하여 무시하고, 이겨내려고 했습니다. 이 speech를 통해서, 저를 포함해서, 많은 분들이 다시 한번 자신이 느끼는 감정에 귀를 기울여 보는 기회가 되었으면 합니다.

저는 일단 Shadwoing은 약 50번 한거 같습니다. 분량 자체, 말하는 속도가 다른 TED 비해, 난이도가 놓지 않아서, 수월하게 한거 같습니다.

아래, 본문 script 및 제가 공부하면서 찾은 단어 참조하시어, 영어 공부 열심히 하시기 바랍니다. 아래 script는 TED 홈페이지 해당 speech의 Transcript 내용 참조하였습니다.

What are you doing on this stage in front of all these people?

(Laughter)

Run!

(Laughter)

Run now.

That's the voice of my anxiety talking. Even when there's absolutely nothing wrong, I sometimes get this overwhelming sense of doom, like danger is lurking just around the corner.

doom 죽음, 파멸
lurking 숨어 있는, 도사리는

You see, a few years ago, I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety and depression -- two conditions that often go hand in hand. Now, there was a time I wouldn't have told anybody, especially not in front of a big audience. As a black woman, I've had to develop extraordinary resilience to succeed. And like most people in my community, I had the misconception that depression was a sign of weakness, a character flaw. But I wasn't weak; I was a high achiever. I'd earned a Master's degree in Media Studies and had a string of high-profile jobs in the film and television industries. I'd even won two Emmy Awards for my hard work. Sure, I was totally spent, I lacked interest in things I used to enjoy, barely ate, struggled with insomnia and felt isolated and depleted. But depressed? No, not me.

misconception : 오해
depleted : 고갈된

 

It took weeks before I could admit it, but the doctor was right: I was depressed. Still, I didn't tell anybody about my diagnosis. I was too ashamed. I didn't think I had the right to be depressed. I had a privileged life with a loving family and a successful career. And when I thought about the unspeakable horrors that my ancestors had been through in this country so that I could have it better, my shame grew even deeper. I was standing on their shoulders. How could I let them down? I would hold my head up, put a smile on my face and never tell a soul.

On July 4, 2013, my world came crashing in on me. That was the day I got a phone call from my mom telling me that my 22-year-old nephew, Paul, had ended his life, after years of battling depression and anxiety. There are no words that can describe the devastation I felt. Paul and I were very close, but I had no idea he was in so much pain. Neither one of us had ever talked to the other about our struggles. The shame and stigma kept us both silent.

come crashing in : 충격을 주다, 들이 받다

Now, my way of dealing with adversity is to face it head on, so I spent the next two years researching depression and anxiety, and what I found was mind-blowing. The World Health Organization reports that depression is the leading cause of sickness and disability in the world. While the exact cause of depression isn't clear, research suggests that most mental disorders develop, at least in part, because of a chemical imbalance in the brain, and/or an underlying genetic predisposition. So you can't just shake it off.

adversity : 역경
mind-blowing : 신이 나는, 감동적인
underlying genetic predisposition
: 잘 들어나지 않은 유전적인 성향

For black Americans, stressors like racism and socioeconomic disparities put them at a 20 percent greater risk of developing a mental disorder, yet they seek mental health services at about half the rate of white Americans. One reason is the stigma, with 63 percent of black Americans mistaking depression for a weakness. Sadly, the suicide rate among black children has doubled in the past 20 years.

stressors : 스트레스 요인
socioeconomic : 사회경제적

 

Now, here's the good news: seventy percent of people struggling with depression will improve with therapy, treatment and medication. Armed with this information, I made a decision: I wasn't going to be silent anymore. With my family's blessing, I would share our story in hopes of sparking a national conversation.

national conversation : 전국민적인 대화

A friend, Kelly Pierre-Louis, said, "Being strong is killing us." She's right. We have got to retire those tired, old narratives of the strong black woman and the super-masculine black man, who, no matter how many times they get knocked down, just shake it off and soldier on. Having feelings isn't a sign of weakness. Feelings mean we're human. And when we deny our humanity, it leaves us feeling empty inside, searching for ways to self-medicate in order to fill the void. My drug was high achievement.

narrative : 서술, 묘사
void : 빈 공간 , 공허함

These days, I share my story openly, and I ask others to share theirs, too. I believe that's what it takes to help people who may be suffering in silence to know that they are not alone and to know that with help, they can heal. Now, I still have my struggles, particularly with the anxiety, but I'm able to manage it through daily mediation, yoga and a relatively healthy diet.
(Laughter)

If I feel like things are starting to spiral, I make an appointment to see my therapist, a dynamic black woman named Dawn Armstrong, who has a great sense of humor and a familiarity that I find comforting. I will always regret that I couldn't be there for my nephew. But my sincerest hope is that I can inspire others with the lesson that I've learned.

spiral : 급증하다, 나선형으로 움직이다
familiarity : 친근함, 익숙함

Life is beautiful. Sometimes it's messy, and it's always unpredictable. But it will all be OK when you have your support system to help you through it. I hope that if your burden gets too heavy, you'll ask for a hand, too.

Thank you.
(Applause)
