Hello! so I wanted to discuss a problem of mine here on this forum. I thought it would be good if I share this here because I figured out there are quite a few superb people around. I am male and 24 years old. I am working as a coordinator in a primary school and I earn good, lol.....I have no major tension in life but despite this, I sometimes, rather quite frequently, go through the phases where I experience severe forms of depression. This phase is quite frequent, that is, at least once a week or sometimes even twice a week. When this happens, I just feel myself disconnected from this world and all the incidents (minor ones as well as the occasional major ones) start flashing back. Does someone here go through this? Please help me if you have got any experience of this? Waiting for your advice......... :troll:
You said you have no major tension in your life, so do you have any idea what causes your depression then? I suffer from depression..I do have a lot of tension in my life though. My advice would be just to distract yourself. Get a hobby, make friends, maybe posts on the forums? Be grateful for what you have. Try not to allow yourself to get down..
the smilie that you used is the "troll" smilie. I don't think that is the one that you wanted to use as far as flashing back to negative past experiences, I think that happens to everyone to some degree, but more so to someone who is depressed. therapy would probably be helpful for that "curing depression naturally with chinese medicine" by bob flaws might be helpful to you meditation, regular aerobic exercise, and dietary changes might be helpful to you sounds like therapy might be the most helpful thing for you though hope things can get better soon!
Ive been battling with deppression for many years and this year has been the worse. I finally made a call to a local clinic and am awating a call back Ive tried changing diets, supplements,exercise, staying bussy, and it keeps comming around . So the next step is to talk with somone that knows a little more than me about it . Its so agrivating I cant even do things I once loved to do . I would stay up all night building Hot rods. I miss the smell of a freshly painted motor when you first crank the car up for the first time. and hearing the engine rumbal in the middle of the night. well it music to my ears. Man I just watched a you tube vid about a writing excercise and the lady said to think of a happy place or wright about it and man I didn't think it would realy help any but it realy felt good to do it.
Even those of us who aren't depressed have these moments when we get flashbacks of negative events. We might also recall ugly things people have said to us. I refer to these thoughts as the "shitty committee," and let it all go. They are not necessarily part of depression, although depressed people may be more vulnerable to these things.
I have experienced the same thing for most of my life, though it had gotten way worse after a major wreck I was in. I take a couple of different meds for the depression, and they help most of the time. However, I still have the thoughts pop up. Previously, whenever I had an episode, I would just take off somewhere for a day or two, chill out and maybe get drunk, have sex, or explore a new area. It used to help me a lot. Unfortunately, I don't have the same opportunities now. Pretty much, I could distract myself out of the depression.
I have been free of depression for almost two years now. turns out it was my job. found out by accident but it worked out .
I suffer with Manic Depression and my Depression is rapid cycling, sometimes I can't help where my moods will go but I constantly try to keep myself busy. Recently I've became different and now I have a love for art. I want to express myself through art and each time I sit down and concentrate on the piece that I'm doing I feel a little better. Right now I use pastels but I'm thinking of painting once I can afford it. Try to do something that will keep you're mind busy. If you need a friend or someone to talk too, send me a pm.
