Sudden depression yesterday

That happens to a lot of people. I have gotten depressed a lot, but now I am finding ways to fight it off before it kills me. You never want to become prey to the depression, otherwise it just eats you up inside. You need to find ways of not being depressed.

I don't know as it is age so much as maybe not feeling well and too much time alone with yourself perhaps? Could also be the meds? I don't know but my mom did kind of get like that once she was not feeling well. She used to work in her gardens, visit friends, walk etc and suddenly she was housebound and on meds. She called me constantly during the day and night. I wasn't the only one she was calling. Even though I answered most of her calls and stopped over when I could, she still got irritated and acted as if I was neglecting her. I was so so busy and she seemed not to understand that.

Being on medication for a long period could be a part of this. Not that the meds are wrong or anything. I think alot of the feelings you are having may be caused by being too busy. Too much stimulus. You need time with your family. Families are our balancing act and if we are away from them and too busy we may feel some depression.

hi professor, i am sorry you felt neglected. but there comes a time when everyone seems to be very busy doing things and we are not able to call or greet at least a person who has been in constant contact with us all the time. i think it is but natural to feel like that once in a while but you have to snap out of depression and just move and do stuff to make you busy. or this can be funny - i guess try resting ... not thinking of problems or anyone but nice things. how about that? cheer up! ann

Maybe professor, you are just depressed because you are not feeling so right. Don't be , just keep on taking the medicines and entertain yourself by things you like doing. If mylotting will keep you happy, then do it. I am sorry, i wasn't able to read this discussion of yours last week, because i was really busy at work the past days. When i arrive home, i simply just would like to sit , put my feet up on the pillows propped up in a chair in front of my couch and watch TV to rest. But as of now, i hope you are already feeling well, since you said the swell in your feet has already subsided.

I think we all feel detached at times. I'm a young guy and at times I feel pretty down, and I know a lot of other people that have too. Sometimes this can simply be from being unoccupied and having too much time. The best advice I think is to get up and do something, even if its just going for a walk. Probably the worst thing you can do is stay idle and slowly eliminate options for getting satisfaction. Medication and health can also interfere with the release of 'happy' hormones, activity and mental stimulation can help moderate that as well. We all want you to be happy Prof, and know that you will.

ohh i have had my times of these feeling the need to be noticed, or i mean the need to be cared for and i usually would be trying to get their attention by sending them a couple of messages, but they are not as responsive as i hoped them to be. =( too bad i guess hmm but i think its not with age... really depression happens to everyone... at some point

Hullo Professor! YOu are not keeping good health and are unable to do too much work.Since the 'idle mind is the devil's workshop' you are suddenly getting all these thoughts.Once you are well , you will become alright.I am sure.

My grandmother, mostly will do the same thing like you. She always try to do something in order to attract other attention. While we never abandone Her. Maybe its normal for the elder.

We all want care and affection sir. It's nothing related to your medicine or treatment. In different stages of our life we have different needs but all of them indicates to the sense of comfort, to love and be loved, caring and sharing. we always want to be fulfilled. i see my life as a fairy-tale where i'm a lonely girl suddenly wake up in the morning and realize that i have nothing. I start my journey though a rough road to nowhere with some hope that oneday i'll find my destination where i was before. in my way i get to know two person. I call them my parents. I start my journey with them. they give me the support, the food, the shelter, the love, the affection whatever i need. they introduce me with some other people. I call them my relatives. I start to feel that this is my destination, this is where i'm supposed to be but one day I again realize that noo, this is not my destination. I have to move on. so I leave the place, for searching my destiny. In my way I again find some people who becomes my friends. We walk together, share our thoughts, sorrows, happiness bt time never wait for anyone. we suddenly feel that our destination is not same so we take the different path. I become so alone again. I devote my time searching someone who will give me company through out my journey. and one day I find my partner. we together travel a long way. we find so many works to do, we become parents, raise our children, give them love and oneday they also leave us. we become alone again and realize that we are so tired. Still we have to go a long way. we look back and see that everybody is soo busy. they don't have time to come forward and give us company. they have their own works, own responsibly, own destination. we can't just stand there hoping to get them back. we are supposed to walk. but in our way to the final destination, we always look for someone who will give us the company, who will listen to us, who will lough with us, who will sweep our tears, who will yell to us, who will be stubborn, who will give us the feeling that I'm not alone to my way to final destination. In searching our company, we find some people like us alone, we communicate with them, make our own community where we get the warmth to walk through the cold path, where we find the essence of love, affection, passion, encouragement and togetherness. we grab them like the last hope, we become so sensitive to the details...............this is how it should be, this is how it's happening to everybody, this is what we all will face someday.....this is the glorious moment when wee prepare ourselves for a greater journey. So don't be afraid and depressed dear....... It's the rule of nature......it'll never leave you alone.......
