are you a tough person when dealing with depression?
depression is, if we look at it in a positive angle, is a "tool" that we can use to make us grow up to be a wise person.
if we can manage depression constantly everyday, not only we can save our own life & future, but others as well.

oohh...sorry to hear that. You need to talk to someone. You really need somebody to talk to and this is serious.
Whatever you feel there is not good for your emotion, spiritual life, and also your health. If you are a believer, believe it that God is putting you to test and ask Him to to take it away.
You still love your life and want to appreciate it like anybody else. If the challenges in life put you under intense pressure, know that it is only temporary and as long as you live/alive, you're still a winner.
You're never a loser in life (even though you're down and out) as long as you face them with guts and then glory will be yours!!!
Anyway, take it easy. Mylot has a lot of potential friends
for you to talk to in private message. Good luck

thank you very much for your response. it gives me some enlightenment..
i some sort of considering myself a loser but i never did tried of killing myself, some people tried talking to me but i see them as ordinary listeners who had automated replies and they were sorry for what i think about them. i dunno, silence gives me the best treatment, it shows me my weaknesses, but still i dont know how to deal with them.

You are right I have tired my best and am still trying to turn realy negative situations into a way to become a stronger, wiser and more giving person. There is a saying from one very wise man that says the wild rose of the desert is the one that gives out the most beautiful fragrance..because it is the one that has grown in the face of adversity and great difficulty and still has managed to blossom and give out the best fragrance without keeping anything back..

Yes friend. I strongly agree with you. Depression is a tool which get us equiped. It makes us bring out different ideas on how to really get over our troubles in life. When we are depressed, that's when it shows which one is strong or weak. I am very strong when it comes to depression because I have got the support of God and the books I read made me more stronger in terms of discouragement. Thanks and have a nice day.

Hey! thank you man! i agree with you on the books thing. of course God too. When people are depressed, they tend to "think short", you know what i mean? take their own life and things...(I feel sorry for them).
have a nice day too...

I like your thinking singlepixel ! depression can be viewed as a tool but to rely on intellect to cope with it is flawed. The elements of our condtion have to be intergrated eg intellect, emotions, self image etc. If you identify your weaknesses then you are truly tough.

that's the "key"! If we can identify our weaknesses and face them positively, we can surely survive the challenges ahead of us.
In other word, we prepare ourselves to be mentally strong.
Thank you Jim!!

depression is indeed manageable but of people don't share the same dynamics. it also depends upon the circumstance. depression can be a tool if the person bears a positive outlook. there numerous underlying explanation with regards to adjustment with depression. it is a quite complex thing. it may somehow lead to insanity.
so to deal properly with the people experiencing depression we must investigate regarding the current circumstance, causes of depression and other related things.

right. there are many different approaches to deal with depression. to "think positive" alone doesn't prove effective enough though. one must deal with it slowly, one thing at a time and never ever expect too much of everything. aiming too high under a "negative" circumstances will only invite disappointment and later will further worsen the present state of depression that one has.

I think that most people who have depression feel cursed, not blessed, so kudos to you! I feel the same way. I find that without depression, I wouldn't have the empathy and understanding that I now have. I have been humbled and now can more easily help others in my profession: counseling psychology.

Congratulations to you. well, you are right, if we think positive and act positively, we become humble and face the future easier than negative thinkers. no matter what lies ahead, we will always be in the positive mode to cope with unexpected situations.
Thank you LAWise520!!!
