What you do when...........

I heard from a processor that when you feel the life is too hard to go through, it means you are stepping into a new phase of your life, so you are growing inside, you're gonna change a lot when you go through this period. anyway , I know it's hard to face all the reality, because I'm in the same way as you, I felt so depressed about everything. Then I tell myself"There's no big deal, I had the worst prediction, like I lost everything - my job,my family, but I'm still alive,so there's still have a lot of chance to change the situation at present." When I thought like this, I have a sign, then feel easy again, what we want is indefinitely, but our capability is definitely. So whatever this is life! We have to face it. And try to change it to be better, feel the love around you! Hope we'll be better, Sam, Cheer up!

walk and walk outside. let yourself tired physically and then eat eoung and have a hot water bath. then have a deep sleep and the things what depressed you will be disappear after you wake.try not to stay at home and think that boring again and again. just go outside and have a walk.

I know how you feel. I am going through this as well. I have always been having depression, but it seems to be worse as of late. But I think that is because there are so many sad things going on all around me and there really isnt much that I can do to control any of it or fix it.

My cousin is going through the same thing. She use to be so happy but after her boyfriend broke up with her (they were together since she was 15 and now she's 23) she is completely lost...she doesn't know who she is without him. She knows she has to learn who she is and what she wants to do. Do you know what triggered your depression? Maybe that will help you overcome it...if that doesn't work, try talking to someone...whether it be a friend or a professional. There is nothing wrong with getting help.

When I am feeling depressed I tend to put on some pop music and dance around my room. Other times I write poetry to get the feelings and thoughts out of my head. When my depression gets bad I can be found at my church alter praying with my pastor and talking about things. Being depressed is something I struggle with daily, but there are things I think about that change my way of thinking.

Hi IamSamm! Well, I think that I have an idea of what you must be going through! And I am so sorry that you feel this way. But its a part of life! When I feel depressed, I like to write my thoughts down, after doing so, I light it on fire! And see them disappear!!!! Lol... I know that it sounds stupid, but I have doing this for sometime. If you do try it, you would feel a little bit of stress relieved! I hope that you feel better! If not, I am here if you need someone! Have a nice day!

Hi IamSamm! depression is a tricky condition and everyone reacts differently and it all depends on the degree. I would definitely encourage you to seek medical attention. Depression runs in my family and I have had to fight it all my life. I have sought all kinds of help including medical. At this time I am dealing with it by carefully taking care of my health through a spiritual outlook, nutrition, exercise, sleep and rest, living a simple life, and some positive people in my life. I hope you can get a handle on your situation too!

there is not well for everything in our life,so how do we treat it.it is important.otherwise we could be to deep into it with lots of time.so you should learn to ingore it in your heart and treat it as a process of your life,it is only a little gravel in a cup,it only comfuse this cup of a water at that moment,when the water was quite,this gravel could cover the bottom on the cup and water still keep clear.this reality is as same as people do.

Hi Samm..I feel for you becoz I know how terrible it is to feel depressed. I have been there myself. You feel like crying all the time and not wanting to do anything. In my case, It became really bad that I had to see a doctor. You see my friend, there are things that we can't handle by ourselves. My doctor explained to me that being depressed is not my fault; it had to do with the fluids and enzymes in the brain that act in a way it should'nt' so we need help to get them acting properly again. You don't have to feel bad about it. If you have a really good friend or sibling you can talk to' explain what you are feeling, if not, please go and see your doctor who will know what to do. You have to do this Samm.. trust me, don't wait too long until it gets out of hand. I hope you'll be alright soon.

I really hate though for you. I have alot of depression problems from personal family problems and some just from the pain I have everyday. So I know how you feel. I have went through all those problems at once also. I could give you advice on this and have tried every home and psychological non-medicated treatment out there. there are times that these just do not work for a person. I know have to take pills for depression and a mood stabilizer everyday. I would suggest for you to start seeing a therapist. Mylot is my therapy but I also see a clinical therapist also which between the two really helps. The clinical therapist is like mylot, they are there to listen with open ears with unbias opinions that sometimes you need to get things off your chest. I would do this before going to a medication treatment like me.

Well, I'm labelled as a "chronic depressant" whatever that is..I guess what it means is that it's a chemical imbalance and a lifelong disorder? I starting getting depressed around 15, my dad was dying-things were rough at school..you know the usual teenage stuff. I finally had to get medicated-I take celexa now which works for me...I also made sure to take a daily multivitamin and fishoil. I'm a writer-a lot of my poetry has given me release-I highly suggest some form of expressionism. Also, what about friends? There's nothing better! I have to look for the things that make me happy-like mylot for example-I come here to get a laugh, share a tear or just read other people's daily input. I hope this helps and I'm sorry you're feeling this way. Is it because of someone you love?

You are not alone...WakeUp!!!

I go to church to refresh my mind. These past few days, I've been having many disappointments as things don't seem to turn out well even though I did my part - people not keeping their promises to pay me for a product I have already delivered; some seem not to mind that I am broke and still want to ask for some contributions and donations, and since I am not able to give any, I'm sort of given a cold shoulder; some people at home seem unmindful of the problems and I feel I'm not getting the help and understanding that I think I need; being rejected from a job which I passed the exams but because I am two years past the age requirement, I was not interviewed although I've got all the other qualifications; difficulty in asking for financial support as if I have to beg to get some. All these happening one after the other. I ask myself what have I done wrong to deserve all these. I am not a lazy person and I do my best every time. My recourse is to go to God and pour out my troubles to Him who I know will not only understand, but will help me out. And afterwards, I am not depressed anymore but filled with new hope that things will soon brighten up. Perhaps, my faith and patience are being tested. I keep trusting in the Lord's power and love for me. And it works. I am even able to pray for the people who have affected me. JESUS alone is the answer to all my troubles. He has the ability to take all my sorrows away. I began to see changes in the people around me. I begin to see more love and support in our home. I have been called for interview by two other firms. And I know the other concerns that I have will all be ironed out. In Jesus' Name.

I constantly feel depressed. I feel a lot better when I am by myself, doing what I like to to do best, without interference.

Hi, IamSamm. I am very sorry to hear about your depression. The best advice that I can personally give to you is for you to have Jesus Christ in your life. He knows how to make everything alright. He knows all of your hurts and pain. Pray, and he will ease your sadness, anger and bitterness. He is the answer to all of your problems! You can also try walking, this helps to make you feel better. It also makes you forget about your troubles. If you have a trusted family or friend, then you can tell them all about how you are feeling and maybe they can direct you to the right path. Hang on in there! Keep the faith! Never give up! God is with you every step of the way! Be Blessed! Take care!

When I become depressed, it can be very hard for me to pull out of it. Over time, I have learned that if I take a step back, look at things individually, rather than as a whole, it makes things a little less overwhelming. Tackle each individual thing, one at a time in order of importance, and try to let go of those things you cannot control. Another thing I do when I am depressed is to force myself to get up, shower, and get dressed each day, whether I actually have to or not. Then, I make myself do something that will help give me a sense of accomplishment. In my case, this is normally cleaning my house or yard, but for you, it may be so much as simply walking outside to your mailbox. I also try to take a little bit of time each night for myself. I like to read, so, I try to spend some time at night reading. Sometimes, I will watch television, but not too often. For you, you may just want to take a hot bath to relax. I also try, very hard, to look around at someone else's problems. This makes my problems seem a little smaller. I have found that by thinking of all of the good things happening in my life, opposed to all the bad things, I can actually pull myself out of a depression a bit faster. Aside from doing things for myself to try to help cope, I have found that if I do something to help someone else, even something as small as opening a door for someone at the store, I feel better becauses somehow, I was able to help another person, even though I have a lot to deal with on my own. I don't knwo if any of these things would help you or not. I hope you can find something in here to help you out. I know how difficult it can be and I understand that feeling of being totally lost, angry, hurt, sad, frustrated, and all other emotions mixed into one. You will get through it. Once you do, you will have the priviledge of looking back later on and knowing that you survived and grew from it all.

Samm- I try to be proactive by doing yoga, practicing meditation, and living well. However, right now I am being treated for anxiety with medication and I am not ashamed of needing that right now in my life. I also meet with a counselor once a month. Sometimes having an objective outsider to bounce ideas off of helps us to see the true picture. I also talk to friends. Friends make depression much easier to deal with, especially when they too have suffered from it. I do eat chocolate during depression as it helps to calm the anxiety, but also cause it makes me happy. I watch movies, journal, paint, and do crafts. I wish you the best. Namaste, Anora

There are always certain moments that we feel so depressed, and hopeless. Nut I tell myself that this feeling shall surely pass. It's just "one of those days" and everybody has it now and then. So here are some things you SHOULD NOT DO when depressed : Don't sit alone. Don't rewind all the bad memories over and over again. Don't listen to sad music. Don't go to a friend who's depressed too. Go out and do something new, or go with a couple of old friends and talk about silly things. These feelings will pass....Good luck.

Hi, I have gone through a lot and can easily relate to your feelings of depression. I generally try to follow the advice someone gave me a while ago -- try doing something opposite, which is funny and non-serious. So, you may try watching funny cartoons (how about tom and Jerry, to start with), go for some funny movie; call someone whom you like to talk to; go for jogging or long walk; go window shopping; eat ice-cream; invite some friends and have party; or think of something that you enjoyed in the past.

Hi Iam, hey ive gone with that depression thing, simple depression i think. If i felt selfpitty thats the time i felt depress.

Try it and its helpful.
