Currently Happy... For Now!

Years ago (at least 5 years ago) I was diagnosed with severe depression. Over the years I have found ways to cope or to make sure that I do not let depression effect me 100%. Every week I need to spend time to myself or do something to re-capture myself persay just to make sure I stay on a solid straight path. Life is hard but dealing with depression and life both at the same time is hard. I always make sure I participate in my hobbies, that seems to help with depression. Do what you love, that should definitely help!

Guess what my friend you are not along. I'm a person with depression, I can just about know exactly what you're talking about. You sometimes wish you can rejuvenate back like you use to be without worry and now its like bluh in your life. This what make you say I need to get out and do more even if its whatever. I used to be worst off with these kind of feelings but I try to tell myself everything will be alright these are just hard critical times to deal with. You have to find something that will make you feel that nice warmth outgoing feeling you had before. Keep it up and I wish you well on this. Its not easy for people with depression to just be able to feel rejuvenated into loving and outgoing feelings.

I am not depressed at this stage however I lost the real me. I feel I have changed for worst rather than for good. Since I was married five years ago I began slowly losing the real character from where I was before the marriage. I guess marriage plays a big change in both of our lives. Even my sister questioned me that she cannot see the old good character in me. This new year I really want to go back to the good character I used to have while not going back to the bad character. I believe I can make the difference this year and I will commit more on also improving marriage life and make more commitments in serving God in my church.

I know how you feel for I gone there before. There are really times we have to go through rough times of life but one thing is for sure, we could find the way to get out of it. We only differ in ways of finding the way to find ourselves again. I don't know but maybe I'm too coward to do things which I'm not sure what would be the end result. I may seek for ways to get rid of something that bothers me but not taking the risk of doing drastic things, maybe for me, it needs much time of thinking what's the best way to be done. I'm not against in any ways someone may find in getting out of problems of life, but you're lucky to be courageous and confident of what you're doing and you deserve a good result out of it.

A normal person must have a bundle of motivations. Now in his work he will try to fulfill all those objectives. When these attempts are thwarted he gets stressed and disoriented. I also experienced these things lately. On December 1st I suddenly discovered that things are not going the way they should and that I have developed some kind of resentments due to this irregularity. I didn't know what was wrong. I didn't know what to do. It was a complete sense of disgust mixed with confusion and indecisiveness. Then I immediately stopped what I was doing and started contemplating on the matter with the perspective of a troubleshooter. Generally, when you do something that moves you away from your original self, frustration and disgust ensues. That's exactly what happened to me. I discovered that I have been trying to be someone else. As soon as you identify the cause of a problem, it cease to be a problem. Then you call it a realization. I started working on this valuable realization and soon after became happy and contented once more.

yes.. new year, new beginning, new life.. 2010 is a bad year for me, so at the end of that year, I told myself to move on, to stop being suffer, to let go. Hope in 2011 we can be better, more happy, enjoy life :)

In the past I have also suffered from depression and stopped being the real me. In my case it was not because of moving to a new place it was because i got attacked and so it shook my confidence. I know how you feel it can sometimes take a while to feel like doing what you used to but remember you enjoyed it before so there is nothing to stop you enjoying it again.

Rite For years I felt that I have lost the old happy and optimistic me somewhere. and I do miss that person in me. Now that new year has arrived, I am ready to do soul searching, hoping that i will find 'me' somewhere. I know i will find her. Keep doing what you have started . Do not go back and slide back to the dark world again. It is kind of lonely there.Keep moving on forward. God bless.

For me thank to Jehovah God that he can gave you a hapy time in your life.

After getting a ton of responsibilities at work and family, capturing the old me would definitely be a thing worthwhile for me. I think my circumstances now gives me the chance to do a few things that I want. And being in the start of the year, it seem to be the perfect time for it.

i'll suggest you not to get depressed. it is always harmful. try to involve with people and share your views with them it is the remedy for your depression.
