Be a volunteer in any religous group activities. You'll meet a lot people there. Some of them have a caring group where you can have lots of friends you can trust. If they have weekly prayer/bible study meeting try attending. :huh: You don't have to go through life feeling alone with various problems. There are millions of people out there. Some of them are sometimes going through the same feeling of depression. Its more of being brave enough to reach out to someone, even ask for help. :rolleyes:

everyone is not immune to depression. It is in the degree of affliction that matters. How strong you cope with it and how medications stabilizes you. I could not believe I would experience it, knowing that I am strong, studied didacted semesters about depression and its effects on us, yet when I have mild attacks of depression I literally don't know what to do. Each triggering situation is different and requires a variety of approaches. Nowadays, there are so many outlets of my depression, maybe one of them is MTC therapy.

I'm now considering getting professional help because I think I might have this depression thing. I don't see any point in life. Parang, "mamatay din naman tayong lahat eh. Ano pang rason na magpakahirap ako?" Don't get me wrong. Hindi naman sa gusto kong magpakatamad. In fact, I was recently awarded/recognized for being one of the top consistent producers in my company. However, I know I can do more than this. It's just that I don't see any point anymore... and I don't know why!

 

I have two daughters. People tell me that they should be my inspiration. I'm trying to do just that pero ang tumatakbo sa isip ko eh, "Pag namatay naman ako, may makukuha naman silang pera from the insurance. And I'm sure maaalagaan sila ng husto ng asawa ko. Kung father figure naman ang kailangan nila, I'm sure magkakaron sila." I'm not telling this to my wife, but that's really how I feel. Na parang mas mapapabuti pa sila kahit wala ako.

 

I'm constantly recognized for my talent and work, but I don't feel anything from those. There was even a recent incident wherein I was to be awarded thrice. I didn't even bother going up the stage twice. Parang wala lang talaga. I feel worthless. Parang wala naman talagang significance.

 

I don't know. I feel like I'm just waking up everyday only to sleep at night. I envy people around me who are so driven and passionate.

 

I wish I could just take a pill that would give me energy, passion, and kahit constant smile lang across my lips.

 

 

Shet. Ang drama ko. Ayan, dagdag depression na naman.

Hello psych major here. The way I see it depression seems to occur in a graded manner - that is, at times it will seem a lot worse and another time it doesn't seem to be there at all although the general feeling of "blueness" still hangs over your head. Personally I've experienced some worse episodes of a depressed state to the point of holding a gun against my head and wanting to pull the trigger. I had insomnia and lost 20 pounds.

 

A quick way to resolve this would be ssris - prozac and stuff. I never used antidepressants, i just went on with life.

 

Although i would also suggest getting professional help if anyone experiences depression. Depression is real and serious. Counseling and support from family and friends is highy recommended.
