I have a friend whose girlfriend is very sensitive and short minded. She had some family problems, then later I knew, she slashed her pulse. Good that she has recovered in the hospital. Next time, they have family trouble and she took medicines that were expired, I believed, to poison herself. Again, she was sent to the hospital. My question to myself is: what kind of temper and emotions has this lady that she couldn't bear problems?

Hello, I thought I have ever heard this topic before from Philipine also, but okay let me send you respond :depression is not good feeling sometimes someone feel frightening to nothing, can not sleep, desparate, even I saw someone dont want to do anything in life dont want to eat, take for bathing etc., and this is a very bad desease / illness, whenever anyone got this knid of illness he/she will get the similar situation, the same with peoples who get cold, heart failure etc. I work with pharmaceutical company which specialized in mental health medicines (then I work with Phillipine's company (Unilab, hehehe), I learn a lot about this kind of desease and sometime I feel my fortunate to know this kind of "science". your friend need to visit psychiatrist immediately, because if some one has already got this stage of illness he/she has to eat deicine, consultation may be help but it will take very long time. Thanks for your interesting topic so that i can still send my new post and add my earning. Mabuhay !

My friend and his girl friend are 19 years old. The man is the son of my female friend, who became my friend too! He considered me like his aunt, that's why he shared to me some of his problems. Am glad you're back to mylot and share your thoughts and feelings!

I have no idea, maybe she's not strong enough to handle all the problems, and she definitely needs more support from her family, if not from her friends, or she needs medical attention. Some people are made that way, all we can do is try to help, and maybe pray for them to get better.

You're right, she needs help and understanding. With this situation, I learned not to condemn immediately a person. There is a need to investigate her case.

I think I will never do that. I believe that god has given us life and we don't have the right to stop it whenever we want. Problems are there in everybod's life, but god will give us the courage to tackle with problems. Prayer and talking to good people will help you to regain hope in life.

Thanks daliaj! The problem of this lady, she is shy to confront other people. She just turn around her young circle of friends. Am a bit worried because she really need guidance. Am trying to reach her little by little.

You're right pansy, my friend didn't leave his girl. He always gave moral support and advises to the lady. I suggested to my friend of telling her girl to look for job opportunities, or involve in a small business or join church activities to busy herself and forget her tantrums.

This is a good idea, but, how can we convince her to think positively if she is still within the same environment? Thanks raviarya!

She lacks faith in God ..... she should strenght from the one up there. For God will not allow man to be tested beyond his capacity to remain firm .

No, I'll never do it, even if there were very rare cases where I entertained such thought in the past, especially when the going got very rough and unbearably painful. But I'll never do it, I swear to God. There are people whose frustration tolerance are low; at the slightest frustration, they snap out at once than the ordinary person. These people need help the most, that's why a lot of social support and encouragement is critical.

Yes, I agree psyche that there are individuals who are weak. It really needs to have great anchor to God to fear the putting off of life we just borrowed.

I will not do that, life should be enjoy while you are still living.
No reason to end it up when in problems or stress.
Life is full of problems and challenges and its all up to us how we handle it.
Calm down and ask for a family or friend help if you have problems.

You know I envy the small children, they enjoy life, whereas grown up people, even educated ones, have to encounter problems in their daily life? How can we minimize existence of problems?

Of course not. That's what losers do. Its like she's sounds so desperate she tried to kill herself. Life must continue, we never know what comes ahead of us.

You are correct wendel, we should not give long focus on problems of today. We need people around us, and they can act as absorber of our ill feelings. I guess, my friend's lady has not maximize this part.

In a situation when everything seems dark because of the stress, problems, distress, depression, etc., at least one loved one should be beside us to give us positive thoughts and enlightenment. Also, we should not think that we are the ones suffering this kind of situation. If other people could bear the hardships, we also could. I guess, that girl you're talking about should have a reason for her to live continuously in this earth. If all she could think of is herself, then she wouldn't really care if she would die. But if she could think of her loved ones, she could still hope for a better life.

I agree with you! I also made the lady feel of my concern by helping her looked for a job just within the city, unfortunately, because she is undergraduate, she was not qualified. At least we tried, and I believed that made her felt she is important. At least she can think twice that she is not alone in her struggle in life.

I will not, life is so wonderful even we have to face problems in our life.
That lady maybe so weak that she feels very helpless and miserable that to cope to her problems she wanted to stop living in this world. She may have emotional disorder that if she continue to do the same thing again and again, she need to consult doctor and she may undergo theraphy if needed.

I slowly made inquiries from my friend about the situation, and what I discovered were: she is so disgusted that she couldn't continue her schooling, that she tried to employ but her health couldn't make it, so, she is now back home and I saw her becoming thin. I advise my friend to persuade her lady for medical check-up.
