善導會 2024-2025年報

As her mother’s condition worsened, Ding Ding’s mental health also began to decline. She developed symptoms of depression and anxiety, describing her emotional state as standing on a high wall – keeping her distance from her mother while communicating through a loudspeaker. This paradoxical feeling – wanting to be close yet fearing her mother’s emotional outbursts – left her trapped in guilt and self-blame. Under the guidance of Placidity Place, Ding Ding began prioritising her mental well-being. Social workers encouraged her to set healthy boundary with her mother and participate in counselling to manage her emotional struggles. She also joined a caregiver support group, where she met others with similar experiences. Through their shared stories, Ding Ding no longer felt alone and learned effective strategies to relieve stress. Today, Ding Ding’s life has improved significantly. Ding Ding's mother has been in a nursing home for over a year. During this time, Ding Ding has regularly called and visited her, helping with the challenges she faces. As a result, feelings of resentment and guilt have turned into appreciation, leading to a more harmonious mother-daughter relationship. Ding Ding has progressed from being unable to visit her mother alone to spending two hours with her and even initiating physical contact. For Ding Ding, this represents a monumental breakthrough, symbolising hope and healing in their journey together. 隨著母親的病情變得嚴重 ， 丁丁的精神壓力 也到了崩潰的臨界點 ， 並出現了抑鬱和焦慮 的症狀 。 她形容自己的狀況就像站在高高的 城牆上 ， 與母親保持距離 ， 只能透過大喇叭對 話 。 這種矛盾的情感 － 既想靠近母親 ， 又害怕 被她的情緒吞噬 － 讓她長期處於內疚與自責 之中 。 在朗澄坊的幫助下 ， 丁丁開始學會照顧自己 的精神健康 。 專業社工建議她與母親訂立健 康界線 ， 並參與輔導服務處理自己的情緒困 擾 。 此外 ， 丁丁還積極參與中心的照顧者支援 小組 ， 認識了一群有相似經歷的同路人 。 透過 他們的分享 ， 她不再感到孤單 ， 並學會在壓力 中尋求舒緩的方法 。 如今 ， 丁丁的生活已經有了顯著的改變 。 丁丁 母親已獲安排入住老人院超過一年 ， 期間丁 丁會與母親電話聯繫 ， 並抽空探望及陪伴母 親 ， 處理她在老人院遇到的大小問題 ， 慢慢由 憎恨和內疚的情緒轉化成對關係的珍惜 ， 母 女之間的關係比以往更為融洽 。 丁丁也從無 法單獨探望母親 ， 發展到如今可以與母親相 處兩小時 ， 甚至願意主動與母親有身體接觸 。 對於她來說 ， 這是一個巨大的突破 。 78 | 2024-2025 | 年報 ANNUAL REPORT / INTEGRATED COMMUNITY CENTRE FOR MENTAL WELLNESS 精
