How do you get rid of it, or rather it DOESN"T EVEN EXIST in your life? Do you feel so?

I wonder what makes one truly happy.

I wonder if one should visit institutes for treatment.
Then again, isn't it a question-&-answer sessions whereby one simpy pays lots of $.
Words are cheap. Medicines are "cosmetic tools". It's just an avenue that authorities exploit to make $.

For I believe it's something deeper. Deep down inside, there's a sense, a feeling. People always tell me to choose. To choose happiness. Do you?

To TS,

are you unhappy with your life?

you probably be just upset with the way, things are going for you?

if you are in depression,

there are two form of depression,

short term

and long term

Rolling Eyes

have you taken prozac before?

if you are in depression, you wouldn't seek help at all, because you are in self denial, and you probably think that the world is going against you, and think that nobody can help you

and the reason why i said that is, i am in depression before.

for your case, you just need to wake up from your idea, and face the music

you are just another frustrated person.....

if you are in depression, you probably won't think about anything at all

i personally seen two shrink and a saf consultant

you HAVE no idea what depression is

sorry that if i been blunt

TehJarVu SG

ppl like to say that they are "depressed".

depression in its real sense is indeed a medical condition that needs medication.

are you just pondering about the meaning of life/happiness... seeking happiness etc?

or are you suffering from depression?

if you really have depression, then you ought to seek medical help.

get a referral letter from polyclinic

or you will not have subsidize at all

and most probably, they will just refer you to a consulor

and the usual question, they will ask, is how are you feeling today,

bah bah bah

please don't said that you feel like killing yourself

or you will be send to ward 9

which i care not to explain

Although I'd not visited any relevant authorities (& I won't, for I knew it's a spiritual thingy, rather than a on-the-surface thingy that requires cheapos like medicines)

Therefore, I conclude that depression is a term made by man to make $ out of it.

Not to the extent that I think of suicide..
I still think of things. I still work. I still do sports. I still eat regular meals.

Maybe it's a monotonous life. Hence I don't feel anything.
Maybe.

BadzMaro SG

Do you really want me to tell u how to get rid or handle depression ? to master the secrets ? To taste the forbidden fruits ?The knowldge passed on to u may help or harm others n urself? Can u handle the truth ?

dragg SG

thats because you dont even understand what depression is.

feeling down and depression is hardly the same thing.

Sheepophile SG

precisely. feeling down prolonged may lead to depression, but its really not the same thing.

if ur really suffering from depression, you do need medical help. period.

dont know much SG

What would that be?

Cool-gal SG

believe me, its God who has help me thru my most difficult and downest time in my life. it was a long n dragging year for me.
i read abt His words and pray daily.
tats how i overcome my depression without seeking any medical help.
might not work for anyone though, but no harm trying first by 'talking' to Him?
cheers. Cool

Herzog_Zwei SG

The standard medical drill is to counsel and give you prozac.

I think you've pretty much identified the problem by yourself, the next step would be finding the solution to the problem.

There's a trick to dealing with emotions - that the amount of energy and work it takes to feel miserable, and the amount of work it takes to make yourself strong or feel better is the same. The thing is that we never work at feeling better, but we allow freely our minds to work ourselves into the miserable pit in which we wallow.

Just remember that your problem is never the problem. your reaction to your problem, is the problem. It is of no consequnce to find a fault or find your fault. Find a remedy.
