Chapter 39 blues after achievement

Adelin, the second astronaut to land on the moon, suffered from depression after returning to the earth because he lost the goal of his struggle. Taking the Apollo 2 spacecraft, Adelin became the second American astronaut to set foot on the moon. He is an outstanding astronaut who has undergone the most thorough mental health assessment and rigorous training, and stands out from thousands of selections. After his successful trip to the moon, he returned to receive a hero's welcome, but his spirits were getting lower by the day.In the autobiography of returning to Earth, Adelin said that the taste of success made him gradually lose confidence and self-esteem, and finally, he became too lazy to do anything, often sitting at his desk, looking out of the window in a daze.After returning home from get off work and having dinner, I turned on the TV and drank a bottle of whiskey to pass the long night. Later, I developed physical symptoms such as neck stiffness and finger numbness.

Adeline suffers from what is known as the post-achievement depression.In theory, a person should feel satisfied after achieving the goal he desires, but in fact, as the proverb says: the process is better than the result, many people feel empty after reaching the goal because he has lost the motivation to drive him. Motivation to move forward, or fear of not being able to maintain the gains, can lead to depression. The Japanese writer Yasunari Kawabata, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature, also became unhappy after tasting the taste of success, and eventually committed suicide for the rest of his life.

Feeling like the best days of your life are over is a common part of post-achievement depression.In fact, this kind of depression is not useless. Although it makes people full of melancholy, it is a warning signal like a physical symptom. It tells us that a certain part of our life has gone wrong and we cannot go on like this. Therefore, it also Contains the opportunity to discover a more fulfilling and complete life. Rediscovering another goal to strive for is the cure for post-achievement depression. This goal may be less than the original goal, but the important thing is that it can make our lives richer and more complete.
