Adriana Imge on the eternal problems of women: “Previously women in the field gave birth and there was no cancer!”

How often you can hear the lamentation of the elderly, which used to be much better, people did not have cancer, women gave birth one or two, and about ectopic pregnancies and speech could not be. But was the grass greener?

Editorial "Site" She shares an excerpt from the blog of psychotherapist Adriana Imge, in which a woman talks about the eternal problems of women and how important it is. live today.





Yes, there was no cancer before. Because he wasn't diagnosed. The man was dying, that's all. There was no problem with vaccination allergies. Children died of diphtheria in packs, that's all. There was no problem with contraception. People simply gave birth and carried children out in the cold or starved.





After the discovery of America, half of Europe died of syphilis and half of the Indians died of influenza. In England, during the time of Henry, the same one with Anne Boleyn, a simple flu wiped out half of London.





There was no problem with strong women. Women simply did not have passports, rights, opportunities, they were beaten and raped. This was not considered a problem or a crime. And there was no problem with orgasms - there were no orgasms.





And there were no problems with ectopic pregnancies and postpartum depression. There was only one ectopic pregnancy, because the woman was dying. And the women didn't have depression. It was hard work. Those who did not die from childbirth, in the forties most often were with uterine prolapse from constant hard work. No bandages either.





Anyone who wants beautiful dresses and balls, I recommend reading the memoirs of Catherine II. Yes, the wife of the heir to the throne, and then the empress. There about chickenpox, women's problems, difficulties of life and much more in the nobility. Yes, those who had all the benefits of civilization. I had the impression in the process of reading that I now live not just more luxurious, but many times more luxurious than the Empress.





My great-grandmother and my grandfather's first wife died in childbirth, half of my father's siblings died of infections that now seem like fairy tales. This is not the Middle Ages, but the twentieth century. And in general, who wants thrills - you can take the library women's encyclopedia of the eighties and read about women's hygiene.





A hundred years ago, my birth would have killed me or my daughter. Just because they were easy because of medicine.





When people ask me what time I would like to live in, I answer without a doubt: “Now!” I don’t know what will happen in the future, but now I have jeans, sneakers, deodorant, my personal property, passport, contact lenses, hygiene and contraceptives, the opportunity to work and study in any country. I can get a divorce just because I don’t want to live with that person.





I can drive a car. I can buy an injury or a shocker and learn how to fight to protect myself and my loved ones, and yes, there’s a chance I’ll get jailed for exceeding my self-defense. But they will not throw stones and will not be thrown from the cliff as disgraced.





There are a lot of problems in this society, but compared to what happened, it’s awesome. Those who want to go back just don’t know where they are going. I understand. And I know what a titanic work has been done to get at least what it is now. And I'm happy to live here and now.

Wise psychotherapist Adriana Imge once again reminded a simple truth about how important it is to live right here and now, to appreciate every moment of the present and not stop believing in the future!
