emo way or the normal man way?

AndrewPKYap SG

The quick fix is to use prescription drugs... Prozac for example.

The intermediate fix is to change your situation in life.

The permanent fix is to change your thought processes.

The three things that you can do in order of difficulty or time it takes.

Cool-gal SG

well, if u can self-comfort, why not?
if it helps to relieve ur stress abit, why not?
if it makes u calmer, why not?
dun underestimate the power of self consoling.
now ur qtion is abt how to handle stress ma.
so do or try anything tat u think will help u least bit.
but of coz in private, dun think u wan ple to think u r one mad man talking to urself? Mr. Green

thongs SG

dont think too much of the negative stuff, i think that u just need someone to talk to. it would be better for u if u share your troubles with yr close friends or family. if u wan i m able to listen to yr troubles =)

Provided it's minor depression.

Bi-polar disorder is another thing altogether.

valc SG

from a medical standpt depression is an illness just like heart disease or liver probs etc are. it's due to biochemical imbalances in the brain. so see a doctor if u think u have it.

definition's quite precise tho, think it's like:

at least 2 weeks of persistent low mood (VERY low mood) or finding absolute meaningless in life, with other features affecting function like inability to eat or sleep properly, or no ability to enjoy hobbies or activities.

many have thots of ending it all as well.

seek psychiatric help if needed.

a lot of ppl have persistent low mood too which may be helped by counselling. but gotta agree that you have to be willing to be give it a chance and be open about things with other ppl. otherwise, it's not going to be useful..

all the best.

I don't bother to handle my depression anymore.
Just wait for an accident to end it all.

Hmm.

Fate decides.

Then again, you could be re-born in a similar situation, since the karma is not cleared.

mistyblue SG

maybe, maybe not. to a desparate person, even a second of peace even through death is bliss.

......

Meanwhile, why not do some meaningful things while ya wait?

mistyblue SG

to understand depression, you will know that nothing in this world is meaningful
its rather delibitating. its a selfish, self-isolating cycle.

dont know much SG

In the midst of depression, there'll be someone / something that makes you Razz (law of contrast / polarity)

untitledwav SG

I know what you mean... Especially the idea of "denial". Everyone's trying to convince you that you're unhappy.

The - "You are unhappy. You don't feel unhappy because you don't know that you're unhappy. Therefore you must be unhappy." - logic. If that's the case i don't see how else can they be wrong.

airgrinder SG

yoz dude. your one not depression lah.

1. I believe you are looking for your purpose in life. keke

Your next question to me may be "How?"

My answer to you will be "Dunno." dub~

But I have an interesting idea for you. What do YOU think is the purpose for an eagle? or cockroach? or an ant? Do they just live for the sake of surviving?

2. Second thing i'll wanna share is to have an open mind. No point asking for comments here where one's mind is close for possible solutions.

There's a story about the wealthiest man visiting the dalai lama for a consultation. The wealthiest man is an "Answer" man. He always comes out with solutions, ideas to whether problems he faced. When the W Man is granted audience to lama, the lama did not speak but pour tea for the W Man. However the lama did not stop even when the tea is over flowing and a large amount is wasted. W Man is shocked!!

Lama then say "If this cup is full, how is it going to contain new tea? If one's mind is already closed, believing oneself to be always in the right, how is one going to accept new and better solutions?"

Devil1976 SG

Meanings sometimes don't come to you.. You've got to look for it... At least you try?

Herzog_Zwei SG

The value of life is not whether you are living or not, it's what you do in your lifetime however short or long it is.

alexkusu SG

From what I observed, those broken hearted or failed relationships, etc always find solace and peace in church/bible/god.

dont know much SG

Yes, it's scary when everyone asks me if I am happy.

Therefore, I have to play the role of a happy man to suit everyone's expectation that one is supposed to be happy.

In fact, I'm not.
