What are Aussies depressed about vs Sinkies ?

 

[Roid Rage]

Hi I’m from Australia and have been working here for about a month . Love the culture , the food and the people around . I have been volunteering as a social worker back home where I came from, and would be exploring for more volunteering opportunities here .

the topic surrounding depression seems to be less discussed here and I would like to put this thread up just in case anyone who is currently suffering from depression, have experience of going through depression , or you are also a fellow volunteer could touch base

slide a PM if there’s queries you would rather be private . I’m not a trained professional but happy to share my knowledge and experiences through my own volunteering experience

Hello, Welcome and Congrats!! you found the right place to drop your free mental health advice. Good news, we got unlimited supply of psychos, siao lang, nut cases and professional emo kings waiting for you.

Side question… by any chance, are you coincidentally ALSO 25/f/single?

The current social climate if no a whole set of labels cannot be deem as normal human being.
What depress la, bipolar disorder la, ADHD la, misogynistic la, etc.
Anyone talks about what current medicine, social media influence that give rise to it or not.
Lot of ppl say is this is to raise awareness, last time always have this just never report nia.
My point is the awareness is now to the point of indoctrination. Brainwashing.
No extremities cannot trigger a like, a concern. Without it, no dopamine, have to continue the circle
of self doubt and FOMO. It becomes a self reinforcing defeatist mentality.
Any positive traits like mental resilience, self reliance, responsibility, strength is consider toxic.
Every one HAS to be a strawberry and wails to the sky. Why me? - to be accepted into the party.
So whenever I see this kind of topic. Sigh.
Just get on my day. Cos more discussion like this doesnt bring positivity.
It somehow cultivates more negativity.

EDMW strikes again.

And some will get depressed when they realise that they are talking to a female.

There is no such thing as social worker in Singapore who is on work permit. In fact, all social workers in Singapore are Singaporeans

The foreign social workers are likely to be scammers.

 

[Ronin881]

I’m here with my industry , not in the area of clinical psychiatric

You are being evasive.

What is your industry?

You are being evasive.

What is your industry?

Ts are u a scammer

On a side note, love can cure depression probably

If love can cure, leslie cheung won't kill himself. He got clinical depression.

How do you deal with someone with history of moderate depression? One tends to think too much till will be depress. Another will suddenly become sad and demoralise for no reason. Assuring them does not have any effect

 

[gravavva]

I don't think the term "dealing with" is even appropriate since there are just so many freaking things combined that can cause depression.

Ts are u a scammer

that was what i suspected too.


in the end, will ask for donations to help some depression welfare associations, or sell some depression cure to whoever private messages him.

I mean he could be authentic too. But no harm being careful.

Hi mate. It is very noble of you and kind of you to open a thread and offer listening ears and advice about depression. You have to be patient and give yourself more time to blend with the locals in Singapore. Need to open your eyes, ears and observe the surrounding more.

You probably can approach the Old Folk Homes as a volunteer during weekends. They would probably be grateful to have you around especially with your background as a social worker back in your country.

Good luck to you and take care mate.

It seems that TS is not a social worker back home. He only volunteer in social service sector. If talking can be social worker and depressed becomes unpressed.

I am umbrage that TS thinks singapore got many depressed ppl more than Australia Who doesn't talk abt their mental well being. In fact ImH and other hospitals and community agencies are doing better and more committed to help them go back to recovery mode and working independently.

Not reading not hearing is becos in Singapore context, we mind our own biz. What we focus is on working to be rich, famous and own the ⚫️ and whites bungalow in our lifetime

Anyway TS didnt even share what industry he is in.

 

[Loratadine10mg]

Ts what are you working as here in sg? You are EP holder? Why are you so interested in depression topic? In Australia are ppl open about sharing depression?

TS is evading your questions. And opening an AMA THREAD and asking depressed ppl to PM him and this is a junior account. Sounds scammy

There is no such thing as social worker in Singapore who is on work permit. In fact, all social workers in Singapore are Singaporeans

There are actually social workers from other countries, Malaysia, Hongkong, Taiwan.

I ever saw one Ang Mo social worker in SG.

 

[Ronin881]

Hi,
I am from IMH, certified siao lang by some.
Got question about depression or how to be siao just ask me.

Definitely u see them. U have eyes.
I am saying there is no such things as I am volunteer social worker.
It does not make sense becos it is a professional work. Either u r or u r not.

Ts already admit he is not trained.
Ts is also Mia.
Ts didnt give anything abt his credentials.
Ts asked our loved edmwers who are depressed to PM him. If she is female. Then she must be chio bu and kind hearted.

But I would believe Ts is male.

There is only one kind of depression which I encountered during my NS days. This guy was generally pessimistic about life and keep pondering about the meaning of life and systems in society.

There is another kind which is getting upset because things do not turn out the way a person expects. Or just things didnt turn smooth sailing for him. This is not depression, this is spoilt brat symptom
