Depression is being listless, melancholic, lethargic and wallowing in self-pity rolled into one.

Cure? Laughter but sometimes people wants to be depressed so they can self-pity and take comfort in that fact. Apart from 2 tight slaps to her face and ask her to wake up. The cure is still up to her to crawl out from that state. That's the most succint way I can put it. No rudeness or agression intended. :p

Depression can be manifested in may forms(depending on individuals) other than the few Klactovak has stated. When u have depression, u can also experience insomnia, lack of appetite, fever and others.

The best cure is relax, through outdoor activities, or anything. However, to cure it takes time and it will still come back when u feel stressed or wateva that had caused ur depression.

Hi...

Depression is a feelin of redrawn from everything. It can happen when one loses a close person in his/her life or major worries in work or social or break up. Serious depression can be lead to suicide.

Any person who is suffering from depression can feel tat the world is not treating him/her very badly, nothing is working out as it should be.

A way to see whether he/she is suffering from depression are:
1) No appetite for food
2) confine to him/herself (eg. locking in a room)
3) Not talkin to any person
4) Not in correct stage of mind
5) Always in a deep thought
6) Sudden change in his/her attitude , behaviour or daily life
7) Talkin to him/herself
Cool Loses interest in listening to other person
Some of them have to going on for a very long period of time.

Talking is the way u can try to talk her out of depression. For talking non-stop for some period of time may try to relax his/her mind. Topics of the conversation can be anything or interesting.

For curing it, it's up to the person to overcome it. Nobody can help him/her but only him/herself to do it.

"A relationship is like a rose,
How long it lasts, no one knows;
Love can erase an awful past,
Love can be yours, you'll see at last;
To feel that love, it makes you sigh,
To have it leave, you'd rather die;
You hope you've found that special rose,
'Cause you love and care for the one you chose."

Depression. I think i feel depressed rather often. you, once in awhile, I just feel so meaningless. You, wondering why am I living. Why I eat? So I won't starve.
Why I studying? So I can get good job.
Why wanna good job? So can earn lots of $$$
Why have so much $$$? No idea. $$$$ got wat use? shrug
Buy things to like, can go vacation, so what?
you get thing u like can happy how long?
Go vacation see things, fun meh?
pretty clothes nice meh?
I dun find any good reason to live at all.

Perhap, yes, there is a reason. I do not wanna pple around me to be sad if I die. I will not waste a gift freely given to me - life. I live, I die, but never in vain.

There is always a reason to live, ha, if you value your life not, give it to the pple tat need it. Live, so that you can help others, bring joy to them. That is the meaning of your life. Be there to lend them your hands.

Klactovak SG

Well, somethings that work for me is to count my blessings one by one then I don't feel so bad.

I have a complete body with hands and legs. I'm still breathing.
I can think and and I can laugh.
I can empathise with others.
I have a wonderful family (parents and siblings lah!)
I have friends that care.

Feeling depressed is always looking at the downside of life. One must balance it with the upside of life too. It's ok to feel depressed by wallowing in self-pity for too long is unhealthy because the sun still shines and night still comes. Enjoy it while you can instead of thinking of what could have been, Do something positive to get what you could have. Smile

hahahahha

depression means you are losing yourself to something or someone which or whom dun care bout you.. hahaha

whats the point being depressed ar?? you r juz suffering yourself juz for something so small..

i know its sad.. but how long must you be in such state? do you think that think or that sumeone feels the sadness like the way you do? if you express yourself how sad you were do you think they will feel the same way or MORE they find you a pain in the NECK, irritating them, making them run far far away from you?

but do remember..
depression do lead to desperation...

try not to fall to that pitHOLE ok?

PS: actually me also currently depressed heheh.. but juz now is juz the "OTHER" me who r more "never look back" type of character..

aneway GD luck!

I think your friend needs someone to lean on, to complain to. If she's a good friend be there for her. Other than that, she has to help herself.

Any reasons why she's depressed? Family, Financial, Relationship problems? Guess you just have to talk some sense to her. It works most of the time, just be understanding and be aware of which point is she coming from. Best wishes.

AsTr0GiRL SG

guess its everything....

she is one who keeps things to herself....
