“Ngakuzwa ukuthula. Mhlawumbe ukuthula kuyigama elingalungile? Ngizwe… KULUNGILE? Okufanayo."

Ngu-2: 19 ekuseni efulethini elincane laseLondon.

Ngiphapheme egumbini lethu elijwayelekile lefulethi, ngiphuza i-screwdriver eyi-vodka eningi kunejusi lewolintshi, futhi ngibuka i-COVID-19 idla umhlaba. Ngangifunda phesheya eLondon, ngilandela i-coronavirus yenoveli nokuthi isithinta kanjani isizwe ngasinye.

I-China yahluzwa. IJapane nayo, nayo. Izwe laseMelika lali (ngempela, ngempelaf * cked.

Uhlelo lwami belusezinhlelweni zokukhanselwa. Ngangingazi ukuthi ngizoyaphi nokuthi ngizofika kanjani lapho. Kepha ... ngikuzwile ukuthula. Mhlawumbe ukuthula kuyigama elingalungile? Ngizwe ... KULUNGILE? Okufanayo.

I-mayhem ye-COVID-19, ukhetho lukamongameli, kanye nokugxila kwempilo yami yangasese neyomsebenzi kwangishiya ngizwa ukukhathazeka okufana nokujwayelekile njengokujwayelekile. Kungani?

Ngangazi ukuthi angingedwa lapho ngizwa (cishe noma ngaphansi) ngindindekile emhlabeni ongizungezile.

Lapho ngibuza abangane bami abane-neurotypical ukuthi baqhuba kanjani, ngezwa izinganekwane zokukhathazeka kwansuku zonke nokukhathazeka okubagcina ebusuku.

Kodwa-ke, lapho ngibuza abangani bami abanokuhlukumezeka, ukukhathazeka okujwayelekile, nezinye izifo kwi-DNA yabo yempilo yengqondo, ngezwa impendulo efanayo: "Ngiyafana kakhulu."

Kuthiwani ngamakhemikhali ethu obuchopho noma amaqiniso ethu aphilayo ashlukanisa nathi ngokwesaba nokuphelelwa yithemba umhlaba wonke owawuzizwa?

UJanet Shortall, umphathi wenhlekelele eCornell University kanye nomfundisi oqeqeshiwe, uchaze ukuthi kungani abanye abantu bezizwa "bengathinteki" yi-COVID-19.

"Kulabo abanokukhathazeka, abazizwa bengcono (noma okungenani bangenzi okubi kakhulu), kungenxa yokuthi, nge-coronavirus, izinkathazo zabo empeleni zisekelwe," kuchaza yena.

Konke ukwesaba kwami ​​ngokuthi umhlaba uyingozi futhi ungalindelekile bekugcwaliseka kanjani.

Lapho ubhekene nobhadane, ukhetho, kanye nokulwa nobumnyama okungapheli engiye ngazizwa ngibhajwe kukho, izinto bezihamba ... njengoba nje bekulindelekile.

Ukuhlangabezana nengcindezi enkulu usuku nosuku kungalungisa umbono wethu wezwe, kwenze izinkinga zibe yingxenye yokulindela kwethu ukuthi umhlaba usebenza kanjani.

Njengesibonelo, kulabo abahlangabezana nengcindezi yangemva kokuhlukumezeka (i-PTSD), uphawu oluyinhloko lungaba ukubuka umhlaba njengongalungile ngokuyinhloko; I-COVID-19 noma eminye imicimbi ecindezelayo ngeke iguqule kakhulu umbono wakho, iqinisekisa kuphela indlela owawuzizwa ngayo phambilini.

Kubantu abakhathazeke kakhulu ababheka umhlaba njengengozi, umhlaba ophazanyiswe ubhadane lomhlaba wonke awunakuphazamisa ukubuka kwabo umhlaba futhi.

Kulula ukwenza iphutha ekuguleni kwengqondo njengokuqoqwa kwezimpawu noma okuhlangenwe nakho - {textend} kodwa kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi izifo zengqondo ziyizifo nezifo eziphazamisa indlela esibona ngayo umhlaba.

"Ubundindwa, ngokujwayelekile, kungumuzwa wemvelo futhi ovame ukuvezwa ukuphendula ukuhlukumezeka," kuphawula u-Shortall.

"Sisezingeni elithile sonke, sihlukumezekile ngesikhathi se-COVID."

"Ukuphefumula kulowo muzwa wokwazi ukuthi yini okudingeka siyenze ukuhlanganisa / ukubhekana / nakho konke okwenzekayo okusizungezile kungumsebenzi obalulekile esibhekene nawo sonke," kuchaza uShortall.

Ngisho nangaphandle kokugula ngengqondo, ukuba nengcindezi enkulu usuku nosuku kungenza ubhadane neminye imicimbi izwakale ingesabeki kangako.

Abantu abasebenza imisebenzi enengcindezi, njengezicishamlilo, noma abahlala begcwala abezindaba, njengezintatheli noma izishoshovu, bangazizwa "bejwayelekile" njengoba begcwala isikhathi esiningi.

Ingqikithi ejwayelekile yethu thina "abangatatazeli" ngesimo sezwe ukuthi impilo yethu yansuku zonke isivele igcwele ukwesaba okukhulu nokwesaba ukuthi ngisho nobhadane, ukhetho jikelele, namasonto ezinxushunxushu zombango zizwa " evamile. ”

Ngokwenani elibonakalayo, kungabonakala kududuza ukuba "nesihlangu" - {textend} yize sakhiwe kabi - {textend} ngalesi sikhathi.

Kuzindatshana lapho umbhali enomona ngalabo abanesifo sengqondo - {textend} ngokwesibonelo, i-obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) - {textend} impikiswano ihamba kanje: Abantu abane-OCD bahlala bebhekana nokukhathazeka, okusho ukuthi bakulungele kangcono ukubhekana nokuqhuma kwezinkinga. Kuyafana nakulabo abake bahlukumezeka.

Ama-Neurotypicals nabantu abangakutholi ukucindezeleka okukhulu bahlala benomona ngekhono lethu thina bantu abangahlelekile lokuzivumelanisa.

Kodwa-ke, njengomuntu ongaxakeki ngaphezu kokujwayelekile, angizofingqa imizwa yami njengokukhululeka. Ngihlala ngivinjezelwe njalo ngenxa ye-OCD yami nezifo ezingapheli zengqondo.

Ngenkathi lokho kungasho ukuthi angizizwa nginovalo olwandayo ekuhlukanisweni, ingqondo yami ayithulanga.

Abantu bangaphansi komcabango ongamanga wokuthi ukugula kwami ​​kwengqondo kungenza ngibe yisikhulu sokuhlala kahle futhi ngijabule ngalesi sikhathi.

Ngeshwa kubo nakimi, angiseyona ingcweti yokuhlala ngijabule manje kunangezinyanga eziyisi-4, ngenkathi ngiphila impilo yami ngokukhathazeka ngaleso sikhathi.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, kwesinye isikhathi lokho esikuqonda njengokuthi “ndikindiki” empeleni kuyizikhukhula ezingokomzwelo: ukubhekana nemizwa eminingi maqondana nezehlakalo zamanje uze “ube ndikindiki” njengendlela yokubhekana nazo.

Ngenkathi kungahle kubonakale sengathi uyisingathe kahle le nkinga, empeleni uhloliwe ngokomzwelo futhi uzama nje ukudlula osukwini.

“Lesi sikhathi besicace bha ukuthi ngeke nje silime ezimpilweni zethu ngaphandle komqondo wokubeka phambili lokho okubaluleke kakhulu nokubalulekile,” kuphawula uShortall.

Ngakho-ke kithina esikhungathekiswe yile nkinga noma esizizwa singanakiwe emoyeni ngoba inkinga ifana nendlela esibuka ngayo iqiniso, yini esingayenza ukuthola ukuthula? Imaphi amakhono okubhekana nawo atholakala uma ungazizwa ukhathazekile noma unovalo, kepha umzimba wakho - {textend} inhliziyo, ingqondo nomphefumulo - ngu- {textend} onjalo?

Isinyathelo sokuqala ukwamukela ukuthi ukuba ndikindiki kwethu akufani nokuphila kahle.

Akukho mpendulo engokomzwelo engasho ukuthi asivikelekile emizweni yokwethuka noma yokukhathazeka. Ngokuphambene nalokho, kungenzeka ukuthi safaka ngaphakathi ukukhathazeka kwethu ngezinye izindlela.

ICortisol - {textend} i-hormone ehlobene nengcindezi - i- {textend} ingadala ushintsho olukhulu emzimbeni olungase luphuthelwe ekuqaleni. Ukuzuza kwesisindo, ukwehla kwesisindo, induna, ukuzwa ukugcotshwa, nezinye izimpawu zihambisana namazinga aphezulu we-cortisol, kepha kungahunyushwa kalula njengokunye okuthile.

Ukubhekana nokukhathazeka kwethu okujulile kuyindlela ekhiqiza kakhulu yokubhekana nezimpawu ze-cortisol ephezulu.

Ngemuva kokuvuma ukuthi “ukuba ndikindiki” kwethu ukuthi kuyini, kubalulekile ukusebenzisa amakhono afanele okubhekana nezinkinga zethu ukubhekana nendlela esizizwa ngayo.

Uma kuqhathaniswa nokuphuza ngokweqile noma ukusetshenziswa kwezidakamizwa ngenkathi uvalelwa wedwa, amanye amakhono okubhekana nesimo asebenza kahle futhi anempilo esikhathini eside nesikhashana.

Imisebenzi efana nokuxoxa ngeqiniso lethu eliphilayo nomngani osondelene naye, ukuzivocavoca umzimba ngokulingene, ukwenza ubuciko, namanye amakhono kuyizindlela zokucubungula lokho esibhekene nakho, noma ngabe asazi kahle ukuthi yikuphi lokho okwamanje.

Ukwenza izinto ezisiza abanye ngokuzimisela kungaba yindlela enhle yokuzizwa unamandla ngalesi sikhathi futhi.

Ukuqongelela imali ngemishini yokuzivikela yesibhedlela sangakini, ukusatshalaliswa kabanzi kwesikhalazo, kanye nezinye izingcingo ezenzweni kuyizindlela zokwenza ushintsho lapho ukukhathazeka kwakho kukutshela ukuthi awukwazi.

Ngokusobala, ayikho indlela ephelele yokubhekana nakho konke umhlaba osiphonsela khona.

Kodwa-ke, ukukwazi ukuqonda ukuthi ubhekene nani futhi ukubhekela ngenkuthalo okwenzekayo kuzuzisa kakhulu kunokuhlala nokukhathazeka okungapheli, noma ngabe kujwayelekile kuwe.

UGloria Oladipo ungowesifazane oMnyama futhi ungumbhali ozimele, ecabanga ngazo zonke izinto ngobuhlanga, impilo yengqondo, ubulili, ubuciko, nezinye izihloko. Ungafunda kabanzi ngemicabango yakhe ehlekisayo nemibono engathi sína kuyo Twitter.
