Depression

[dereth]

Retrenchment is nothing to be happy about. How can one be happy after being retrenched.
I feel you bro. We are on the same boat.

I think that time, it made me doubt my self-worth with a self-esteem that was already low.

That was why I went to my doctor and was diagnosed with minor depression. So, it wasn't that jialat. I was given some exercises and activities as homework, and the meds were optional, so I declined. I felt I could get over it.

I think I did. Sorta. I did return to him several times more for a bit. But it wasn't anything too serious. And I think it does go away in time. Days. Sometimes weeks.

Anyway, he was rather expensive... but I can't go to him anymore anyway. He passed away this year.

Happiness is the cure to depression

Depressed.

What happened bro?

 

[cyke69sg]

I guess I just haven't been feeling quite right for a few days now. Feel myself spiraling. Had a period of time like this a few years ago. I get these weird, inexplicable attacks every few years.

I could not talk to anyone earlier here because I was banned.

I'm trying hard to overcome it now before it gets any worse.

Been moping about for some time now, not doing anything. Ignoring all my chores. Ordering in for every meal.

Trying to watch stuff to laugh it off. Or cry it off.

Or just trying to sleep it off, but I can never get enough sleep. I can only do 2 or 3 hours max and wake up, ever since the jabs a few years ago.

I did see a doctor, our family GP, who was certified for psychiatry. He passed away this year in a sauna, on a trip to Japan.

Thank you for listening. I really appreciate you guys.

Bro. You got a counselor? Therapist?
Maybe try EMDR? Or iFS?
Can also try rTMS.

Sounds more like dysthymia than depression.

Do see a psychiatrist. Price is one thing but you only have one life.

I opined you can do more to occupy your time. Go take power leisure craft license first?

This guy drama queen, attention seeker la.
Use his millions to go see a shrink la.

Come here and act kelian.

I wonder how those people who are chronically depressed, with no money, no hope, and no help feels about his plight.

Be more kind and compassionate.

Mental health issues are multifaceted.

hope ts is ok

Thanks. I'm feeling slightly better now.

Binged some movies and the first 2 episodes of Alien: Earth. Cut my hair and ordered a BK meal too.

I don't feel great, but at least it's not so bad now.

I guess I just... don't really have anyone to talk to. Sorry.

I'm sure the best way to deal with depression is broadcasting it in EDMW and letting people who doesn't know a hoot about him comment about how supportive they are. Super feel good factor here la!

On one hand some people can show the world what great human beings they are, offering support and kind words, on the other hand some other people can get the attention they seek since the millionaire story is stale liao.

Win win.

Take care.

You are good enough!

Yeah we all make our own choices how to respond.

I prefer to respond positively and with care and concern and support.

Mental health problems are real and they can happen to anyone. Is not about money always.

Actually I think you will definitely have mental health if you have no $$$

And I think for rich people with mental health is not about $$$ but it's your mindset.

share some of your million for good causes will makes you feel better. not sarcastic, it is real for some people

I agree.

 

[tootired]

I agree.

don't have to give a lot, just what you feel comfortable or use your spare time to help. I felt a lot better when I can help others.

Occupy your mind with something helps..for eg, since you are free, you can always write a book about your life story...write just for your own reading pleasure and maybe for your wife and some family members..

Sounds more like dysthymia than depression.
Prof Cheong RIP.

You're familiar with Prof Cheong Pak Yean? He was our family doctor for over 40 years. Quite a few of my relatives went to him for medical advice. My mom saw him for years to treat her anxiety and depression. Medication helped, but the divorce and volunteering helped her find peace even more.

Whenever I visited his clinic, we'd end up discussing tech trends.... or I would be troubleshooting his computer or Google Apps problem while he attended to his next patient in Room 2. My wife waiting outside would be, "Oei, why so long? Fix his computer again har? Got discount anot?". Nope. No discount. LOL.

His passing felt like the loss of a family friend. I just went by his clinic last week. It is closed, of course, but still there, sign and all. Feels sad to not hear him greet and ask, "What's the problem?" in Teochew anymore.

Anyway, I've never heard of dysthymia, but I just checked, and it does not quite sound like my case.

I'll have this inexplicable, acute onset of sad hopelessness once or twice a year, of varying severity. It'll usually go away in a few days or weeks. Usually. Hopefully.
