Now let me tell you that story.
現(xiàn)在讓我告訴你們那個(gè)故事吧。
It started two years ago, when I hit my head and got a concussion.
這得從兩年前說起，當(dāng)我頭被撞后我得了腦震蕩。
The concussion didn't heal properly, and after 30 days,
直到現(xiàn)在，腦震蕩還沒有痊愈。在那之后的30天后，
I was left with symptoms like nonstop headaches, nausea, vertigo, memory loss, mental fog.
后遺癥是不停的頭痛，惡心，眩暈，失憶，精神模糊。
My doctor told me that in order to heal my brain, I had to rest it.
我的醫(yī)生告訴我為了使我的大腦痊愈，我不得不讓它休息。
So I had to avoid everything that triggered my symptoms.
所以，我不得不避免接觸可以導(dǎo)致那些后遺癥在的事。
For me that meant no reading, no writing, no video games, no work or email, no running, no alcohol, no caffeine.
對(duì)我來著意味著，不看書，不寫東西，不打電子游戲，不能工作和寫郵件，不可以跑步，不能喝酒，不可以吃有咖啡因的東西。
In other words — and I think you see where this is going — no reason to live.
換句話說，你應(yīng)該知道我將要到了什么境地了--再?zèng)]有理由繼續(xù)活下去。
Of course it's meant to be funny, but in all seriousness, suicidal ideation is quite common with traumatic brain injuries.
當(dāng)然，這聽起來有點(diǎn)好笑，但是老實(shí)說，自殺的想法是十分的普遍的被大腦受傷后的精神創(chuàng)傷影響著的。
It happens to one in three, and it happened to me.
三個(gè)當(dāng)中有一個(gè)中招，我就是其中一個(gè)。
My brain started telling me, "Jane, you want to die." It said, "You're never going to get better."
我的大腦告訴我，Jane, 你想死。你將再也好不起來了。
It said, "The pain will never end."
還說，疼痛惡魔會(huì)一直糾纏你不放。
And these voices became so persistent and so persuasive that I started to legitimately fear for my life,
這些話開始持續(xù)不停，并且越來越有說服力，我開始很合理地對(duì)生命有了恐懼，
which is the time that I said to myself after 34 days — and I will never forget this moment
在34天之后那時(shí)我對(duì)自己說，我一直都忘記不了當(dāng)時(shí)的情形，
I said, "I am either going to kill myself or I'm going to turn this into a game."
我說，我要么自殺，要么就就把它變成一場(chǎng)游戲。
Now, why a game? I knew from researching the psychology of games for more than a decade that when we play a game
就現(xiàn)在而言，為什么是游戲？ 我知道打游戲心里學(xué)的研究已經(jīng)有10多年了，
and this is in the scientific literature
這是個(gè)科學(xué)的話題，
we tackle tough challenges with more creativity, more determination, more optimism,
當(dāng)我們打游戲時(shí)候，我們用更多的的創(chuàng)作力、毅力和積極的心態(tài)去戰(zhàn)勝棘手的困難。
and we're more likely to reach out to others for help.
我們會(huì)更可能去從別人那里找援助。
I wanted to bring these gamer traits to my real-life challenge,
我想把我的這些好的游戲品質(zhì)帶到現(xiàn)實(shí)的困境中。
so I created a role-playing recovery game called Jane the Concussion Slayer.
于是我設(shè)計(jì)了一個(gè)樹立榜樣康復(fù)游戲，叫Jane腦震蕩殺手。
