This morning, I suddenly thought of my parents and my siblings. I feel sad because I can not help them with anything. I feel depressed and life is as tasteless! This feeling really bad ! Usually, I just became weak when I was ill or I work too hard. But now I am still very healthy. I do not understand why I get into bad feeling depressed like this? Have you ever been depressed life without reason explanation for that?

I think most people these days have the same feeling because we can't deny we cannot control the things happened to us or the situation that are happening in our surroundings, in our country , the world. Everybody seems it give us stress and worries for we can't explain why are were being depressed. Sometimes its only in our mind that we are helpless, lonely, bored. But maybe when we tried to think of positive instead of negative maybe we can coup up with these feeling. It happened to me I felt so sick and lonely but I tried to comfort my own self. I tried to walk with my dog, I enrolled to a dance aerobic school so that I woke up from that feeling sick. Were the only one who can cure these kinds of feeling and were the only one who can help our self.

Yes that what I mention on my last post, being depressed in the past few months and I think it's for nothing. But sometimes we can blame also our selves were just only humans that have feelings,dreams and hopes specially if family is involved. Maybe it's a natural way of absorbing things that happens to us every day the effect of that to us. Advices and talking to others specially friends might help us to lighten up and ease some negative emotions. Cheers

The feeling "I am depressed" should be erased and instead take up some work that is interesting to you. If no work is there read a book, watch a movie, visit the friend you like. Think of simple ways in which you can help them--send sms, email and keep yourself in touch with your siblings and other close relatives.

Seasonal depression is pretty unexplained, and it's usually an indicator of another type of depression. It's also very common (I wanna say more common for women than men, but I'm not sure if that's actually true or not) among all people. If you want, you can research it a little bit. Depression can actually be very interesting because sometimes there are no or very few reasons that actually cause the depression. Speaking from my own point of view, I'm usually depressed. I have no money, I'm away from my loved ones, and I have so much work to do while I'm at college. I'm not entirely sure how I make it day-to-day sometimes. I just have to think, "Okay, I can get through this," and know that everything is going to be okay. At any rate, I hope that you feel better and can get through life happily!

The sadness that you're feeling right now is I think you just miss your family.. Sometimes I do feel a little sad from time to time because of so many problems and frustrations in life, but the least thing that I do is just to think positively and whatever sadness that I feel I always make sure to lift everything up to the Lord.. Have a great weekend ahead..:0

There are days when I wake up also feeling sad. I would also feel helpless when I think of my parents who are half way around the world. I know that they have their lives there, and they may be doing well, but I can't help think that I should be doing more for them. Sometimes this sadness would overwhelm me, and I would really feel depressed. It's hard to get out of it.

you have all the right to feel depressed. maybe you are feeling helpless too. but do not allow it to stay long in your life. like you, i have encounter the feeling of depression too. that's when i feel so helpless and feels like everything is misplaced. but then again, i do not allow it to occupy me for too long. i turn to God whenever i feel weak and helpless so that depression will not stay in my life for too long. hey you are blessed to still be living so always focus more in the positive side. good luck!

Yes there were times I felt it. And as much as I can I try to get myself out of such depression. I can feel your frustration over it. I know how it feels when you really wanted to help your loved ones but just can't do anything. Pray for it and don't lose hope. THings are gonna be smoother and better soon.

Hey mate, don't be sad about what you think, I'm sure there'll be a way to help your parents and siblings out. Try to focus on what can you do for them, instead of feeling sad or agony. Life can't be always what we want it to be, but we are to work it out, to make it how life to be. I do feel depress sometimes, but I never allow myself to be caught in it. Remember that there's a lot of people care about you, and also you care of.
