Depression

[Mountainnodew]

Recently moi chasing a kdrama named “Daily dose of sunshine”. It’s about psychiatrist stories. Moi can get depressive sometimes. But don’t dwell on it. Watch Netflix to drown depression. Have a good laugh or good cry then feel better. Drinking also good but control.

depression.. define as at least 2 weeks of feeling sadness constant worthless..feeling down... totally emotionless no happiness...lack of any emotion .. may appear catatonia... crying for no apparent reason...sleeping too little or... sleep too much.. giving away prized possessions...doing end of life instructions..lack of interest in anything in life

perhaps thinking of ending ones' life.. suicide etc...

Need to see emergency doc..! In such a case

Come to think of it, I've been typing a lot recently. Not only you guys... I find myself very lor soh too.

Maybe I found this to be my outlet and using you all as my virtual listening ear. Sorry.

I know many of you are frustrated with me. Trust me, I hate myself too. At least I'm not a liar.

Drama queen. Attention seeker. It's all true. I believe I'm a worthless scum as much as you do.

I deserve all the attacks cos I pretty much asked for it. There is nothing to write about my life. Not like I have any kids to leave it to. All the better, no descendants to feel ashamed of me.

Come

Let the EDMW prime chio bu +1 sayang you a bit

Well bro, there have been periods of my life I felt pretty depressed about different stuff despite all my effort. However, I also came to realize that I was the only person who could help myself too.

Things don't have to end up negatively. You just need to take the first step to right this situation.

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.

Yes I am familiar with Prof Cheong.

It's a spectrum not really exclusive. Usually though Dysthymic people can still be high functioning. Depression is when more like cannot function liao.

Find a therapist. Counselor. I know it's hard because when feeling down the thought process is not normal. Everything seems negative. Dowan this. Feels this is not worth it. What's the point. Etc.

Mental health issues are hard to deal with.

honestly ts, the way we live in our society.. humans werent meant to live like this

Depression occurs when your inner soul is out of sync with the external environment. It is an opportunity to take a deeper look into your inner self.

One can avoid or suppress negative emotions through external activities, but it will eventually come back when the conditions are ripe again.

Observe your emotions like a neutral third party. Let it flow through your body until it subsides by itself. There is no need to react.

Aside from that, be sure to eat and live healthily. Mental issues can also be caused by nutrient deficiency, chemical imbalances, heavy metals and parasites in the body.

I don't know if I'm actually afraid to travel.

Again, sorry for another one of my attention-seeking tall tales.

When I flew to Bangkok in 2018 (My wife said travel would pick me up), my wife's grandma passed.
When I made plans to go to Paris and Sydney in 2019, my wife had cancer.
When I made plans to go to Japan in 2020 for Sakura viewing, COVID.
When I made plans to go to Taiwan this year, my father-in-law was taken.

I've never flown since 2018. Only making several trips to JB by bus since last year.

Find a good therapist.

I think I will have to, eventually.

Thanks, bro. You're a nice person, too.

my goodness..i think your depression comes from your lack of self worth...who says we are frustrated with you?..i enjoy reading your stories...not only your stories but many stories from others as well (why do you think the forum can sustain for so long? it is because of people who share their thoughts and experiences and others who like to read about these)...your stories about how you grow your shares to $6m even though you are not earning a lot is very interesting and encouraging..sometimes, how we need is luck and steadfastness....

I do not think you are drama queen and attention seeker at all...even if you really are...so what?..why do you need to care how others eally think about you?

i encourage you to write about your life...because in the process you will realise that you have such a rich (literally and figuratively) life..you have gone through triumps and tribulations..ups and downs..you bravely go though all and you have experience life's 酸甜苦辣。。the journey you make, the lessons you learn...you will reflect back and remind yourself you have walked the paths....

you will see that there is light at the end of the tunnel as you have been through the dark tunnels of life many times....there is no need to depress..

and for those people who attack you...just ignore them...you do not need to care about anyone except for yourself..

Aren't you rich af?

How come money isn't making you happy?

You should look to do some good with your money to make the world a better place.
