Depression???!


Sara1983 How Do You Deal With Depression?? Me, stay under the shower, don't stay for too long or you'll get parched lol. I got my lips really dried once @!@
Bleakus
ice cream works for me, im no chick but it helps
go to the beach and sit there helps......praying helps.........listening to happy music helps..........slaping your bestfriend on the ass helps
try them out ;) Sara1983
Awww thnx tried all that =-] :sad5:
Over the weekend I had that feeling, because of smthn of course
& I kept sayin over & over to my friend I'm such a fool, I'm the biggest dumbo on earth, there should be recognition held for how stupid I am & all that crap of makin myself "the VERY DUMB thing on earth", She said to me "Sara, u see that building go to the roof & jump." lol I laughed & said thnx for givin me that wise option :P sage & onion
Sometimes I find it helps to laugh at myself and the things that I have done. I also try to find a way to forgive, this is sometimes difficult, but I try at least. Sara1983
I've done it done it done it done it -sigh- I'm a "very" forgiving person! DaveDXB i knew u were suffering along with the rest of those divas.....finally u spilled it. Join Alina, Choco, Bushra on their man killing and complaining rampage. sage & onion
Prepare thyself for the oncoming wrath :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: mema Praying ice cream does for me too.. one thing really helps me...i enjoy the company of children i take my nieces my cousins (any one under the age of 15)go out for a movie, Toys r us or have dinner..simply lots of fun & laughter.. and hon if its over a man..no man is worth it.. sara_uk Exercise is the best for me, iam very depressed nowadays because I do not have time for the gym. I can’t wait for Friday where I meet my deadline. I also found a good cry helps, when iam depressed I become extra emotional. St.Lucifer Best to me, 'Self Hypnosis' ..it works, Going out to gaming parlours or doins something that needs my full attention,like sports activities, traffic dodging or a computer game.. that way Micosoft AOE. has helped a lot. Basic rule is divert your mind. I became a workaholic after i went through a short phase of depression in my life. short time bad feelings i handle it with going for quick ride on a bile dodging the traffic.. thats ultimate..

I eat chocolate. This is the only one thing that helps me (I have not found another one by now). However, it is good only for a short period.
Since I am in depression for a pretty long time already, I gain some extra kilos......:( weary_heart 1 - I smoke... a lot! 2 - I cry... 3 - I drink... till I feel sleepy/tipsy 4 - I play tennis... always thinking the person who made me mad and you bet my service is good! scarlet Go for a walk. You're in London right? Spend a day at the tate or hyde park with a good book. Go to a make-up counter an dplay around, go for a long drive with your favourite girlhood boppy tunes and sing really loud Go see a movie at the cinema by yourself. Nick81 Well let's see I am not depressed but I am not really happy at work and have to deal with a lot of stress... So my way to deal with that in NORMAL conditions is to exercise... Luckily with my Ramadan schedule I think I'll be able to do it everyday, but otherwise I have found it impossible to find the time or energy to do it. So like Anna said, it's chocolate for me too and sheesha... Getting wasted from time to time doesn't hurt either :roll: AnnaSvensson
The problem here is that I do not smoke and I do not really drink.
And I am already tired of crying!!!!
I guess it is important to understand WHY you are depressed.
Well, in my situation it is because my biggest problem for now cann't be resolved for 4 months already...:( And all these 4 months I feel myself really bad.....
...oh!....poor me..... :cry: zam How do I deal with depression? Hmmm... :?: I eat whatever my taste buds crave for... :lol: I read magazines/books and bore myself to death... :lol: and if I still feel depress....well I cry it out just to get over it.... :( if all of the mentioned in your post still doesnt help...then try praying it could really be the answer! :P :wink: dubai girl Depression, oh I hate it when that happens! I usually try to deny that I am depressed and put my happy face on. When really depressed I tend to eat choclate, call a really good friend and vent, redecorate the villa, go outdoors and play in the pool while listening to good music, SHOP, or tell myself what a lucky person I am and get on down the road!!! Depression is not good for us. We have to fight it, and not give into it. If one gives into depression it becomes a huge pity party and you only hurt yourself, then you're furious with yourself because you let it get the best of you. Cheer up Sara! It will all be okay, and this too shall pass. Nick81
Very true. The first time I really had a depression was also the last time. And I intend it to be this way forever... I am the first one to admit that it can be very VERY hard to overcome it... Because most of the time it's something personal, something too personal to discuss with anyone. Sometimes it's for some reason that you can't even pinpoint.
Some of the things I did to overcome it was to build up my confidence, my self-esteem. Takes a lot of work, a lot of dedication... Changing the way I saw myself was extremely hard but in the end it paid off. XRW-147 Depression is crap... I gave in to it once and it nearly killed me. Never again.
dubaiquote Just remember everything happens for a reason in this life. If you are Muslim the reason is a test from Allah, your reaction to it will define you as a person. Praying will help , remebering Allah will help Short term i guess food helpos make u feel better, good nights sleep,(which isnt easy() Never been depressed so dont know really , but all that helps for being down Bleakus is it the same as being emo about everything :roll: :roll: :wink: ? Bleakus i dont know about you guys but i know that Celine Dion depress the hell out of me dubai girl Sara,
Dubaiquote is correct. Everything happens for a reason. Of course, I am one of the oldest ladies in DF and being that I have been through tons of tribulations in life, this is easy for me to say. It is true though. Sometimes things happen that seem so horrid then a door opens. Our attitudes about ourselves, life in general, and keeping a perspective help us all keep our "shit" together. We all have some bad day's and that is not all bad. It helps us to acknowledge that we are only human, makes us realize that we can do better, and gives us more knowledge about ourselves.
Life is a journey, make it good! Hope this helps you. Sara1983 -smiles- thank you guys so much >>>>Bear hug for all of ya<<<< =-] Surprisingly I have done most of the things that you guys mentioned here!!! yeah puttin that happy face on isn't hard for me, I'm a cheesy person :D Thank y'all, HUGS bushra21
i suffer from depression, wohooo you figured it out. what shall your prize be...moron.
and i dont want to kill men, i love men.
i also envy men. oh well Nick81
Glad to hear that!
Just make sure not to spend too much time alone when you're in that mood... Everyone thinks being alone helps in those cases but it actually makes it worse. You need to get your mind off all the things that are causing you to feel blue. And hey remember, you are the best, you said so yourself :wink: Be strong and don't let anyone, anything get you down! Sara1983
Awww thank you ^^ thats sweet of you :angel13:
its just that sometimes you can't help it ya know... feelings take over you!!!!!!!!!!! 175bpm
try prozac its not addictive and will make you a better person
on a serious note ask a doctor
not people you dont even know on the internet :roll:
try this though
/ kanelli What about taking St. John's Wort - it is a herb that has been thought to calm and improve one's mood. I have had some friends and family take it in times of depression. Here is page with lots of info - don't know how reliable it all is, but you can wade through it. / I've suffered from heavy depression once, and it was rough. I don't believe it was a god testing me - it was me being a teenager with imbalances in my hormones and brain chemistry. In the end, my parents and friends were the people who got me through it. Also, you need to exercise (very imporant!) and stop yourself from indulging in the depressive thoughts. E.g. being alone and thinking negative things about yourself or your life. Get out and be with people who care about you! Do something active. Believe me - when you feel you have hit the bottom it is comforting to know that there is no place else to go but back up! :D You can and will get through it. Sara1983
thank u!!!!!
First of all I'm here because I'm out of ideas.
2nd thing those "internet" people were nice and pretty helpful, dontcha think!!!!!!!! valkyrie My recommendation is that you should ask your doctor for wellbutron. Its from a different family than prozac/ zoloft and has very little side effects(dry mouth I think is one). I'm sorry i don't have any personal anecdotes to help you, but nick81's advice actually sounded pretty good. Sara1983
Hey thnx & no need to be sorry =- ) valkyrie oops its spelled wellbutrin / Sara1983
lol okay, thank you!!! Nick81
Well hello, it's me! :P
Anyway IMO you should stay away from drugs unless you are suffering from severe depression... Way too many side-effects and in my book, the less drugs I take, the better. I hate depending on tiny white pills! (yes even panadol!) Sara1983
lol I so know wat u're talkin about, cause I'm just the same, last thing I think of doin is takin pills!!!! Nick81 But it's not easy when you suffer from chronic migraines!! I only have them 2 or 3 times a year but when I do the first solution that comes to mind is grab a drill and find the source of the pain!! :evil: That might be the only time where I use pills, but even then they hardly help... Advil, Panadol super duper extra, I tried them all... Sara1983
Oh okay I see =-] zam
hey bleak whats wrong with Celine? tsk I love her... :roll: Bleakus
sorry, its just that i was stuck in a room listening to celion dion all day until i hated it ;) FeiPo
eat lots of chocolate and chips!!!!! Chocoholic I wouldn't visit a normal GP to ask for pills, first you have to figure out if it is actually despression you're suffering from, and a visit to a good - wait for it - don't be scared - shrink or councellor can do the world of good. They willt ake you through all the things that are happening in your life and find out what the problems are. Sometimes it's really good to talk to someone who doesn't know you, as they are more objective. Only if they feel that you are suffering from a severe level of depression or clinical depression will they prescribe uppers, or anti-depressents, and I do not recommend them at all. Tablets like Zoloft can turn you into a complete unfeeling zombie, with zero emotions at all, they are not good and I totally recommend people to stay well away from them and try natural remedies instead. If you can find a herbalist chemist then try asking for the Bach Flower Remedies, Rescue Remedy works wonders, it's brilliant. Chocoholic
A dose of Lithium sorts those pesky imbalances out. Nick81
*remembers Titanic*
*gets pills, herbs, chemicals, grinds the whole thing and shoot it up a vein*
... noni
:?
don't worry..be happy Dubai Knight
Didn't Bobby McFerrin (who sang that song) commit suicide because he was depressed?
:shock: :shock: :shock:
Knight noni
hahahahah i wonder. Wouldn't that be scarily ironic? :roll: Nick81
Nah it was just a rumor...
Princess Banana Hammock Yeah, pills would be awful. Maybe they'd help on the short term but your body will become used to them and you'll NEED them to be happy at all. The only time I've been depressed (it was over a guy. Smack head against brick wall) I listened to sad songs and ate chocolate gateaux and didn't leave my room for a few weeks. Now when I'm sad, I keep myself busy with my friends and find I soon forget it. valkyrie I've read that MB releases seratonin, also its good for your immune system. Sara1983 Thanks to ya'll Will try to keep all that in mind =- ) :love2: :love2: :love7: :love4: :love2: :love1: Sara1983
kanelli I'm tryin to figure out what kind of animal is that in your avatar, it looks like a Camel, but not a Camel, It looks like a Cat but its not a cat is it, or is it a Dog lol Sara1983
I'm Way too smart to commit suicide :D If I'd do, then I'm mentally ill, not depressed :P just my opinion!
