Depressed
-
the will and power to believe...is a good self therapy technique ...and can be used throughout any stage of your life...
what you lack is conviction ... its inside you...and you have to find it yourself...
everyone has some forms of depressions from the mildest to severest...
no amount of counselling can help you if you do not believe in yourself and your capability to overcome it

Hmm, jus my thots on this - i am not to sure about the psychiatrist route on this .. My company offers free psychiatrist treatments so i went once out of curiosity.. I didnt feel that the psychiatrist could offer me anything other than a listening ear (like a friend - then again, neither was i depressed). Thus, if you're paying your own way through this, perhaps its better to exhaust all other options than pay someone $200/hr to listen to you. I also have a friend whose been in therapy for 3 years ?? Sometimes i wonder if its an addiction - to counselling or even depression itself. I've found that taking time off work helps. Perhaps quitting your job may not be an option but do consider taking a tour (& i dun mean a one week trip to HongKong or Thailand). Speaking with people doesn't always help, especially if they are in a "different place" from you. Sometimes, being around people only serves to aggravate your condition But all the best & try not to stay up at 4am ! That alone makes even a happy person blue :)

May Yuen....good inputs on the limitations of psychiatric/ counselling treatments...
my advice is to find at least one thing to believe a day...
-
the power to believe cannot resolve depressions immediately but it could cushion it largely if practiced overtime...positive reinforcements of believing in smal doses...
-
Better talk to doc and get medication fast....dun play play....depression can be fatal....

Yeap, a short trip or travel is generally helpful....

Trip also not so good, especially those going cruise or high mountain or river scenery places, if depression struck, he/she may jump. I think for depression, generally speaking, going to pub is the best, you got pple like me to talk to, to listen to you and also enjoy music and youthful surrounding

Talk to people in the pub might as well talk to the wall. At least the wall won't give the wrong advise. People in the pub are all half drunk, will give all kinds of wrong advise. If want to talk to, it will be better to go to the temples and talk to the monks or go to church and talk to the priests. At least these people are not drunk.

I had been a nun before, got punished and had to talk to a pillar for 2 days. In life, sometime you hv to jump out of the box and be in another world, going to temple and church may not solve your problem, in fact, it may keep repeating the problem in your head, spent a few hrs per week in pub is not bad for health, you dun have to get drunk, just a bit tipsy and enjoy a moment of free life, afterall, life is just an illusion. Give yourself a break, keep walking, Johnny Walker -

Me gal sure use negative sign, guy use positive sign.Anyway, I saw a book entitled "Google may keep you stop thinking" , quiet a weird book, one of the contend said that our age depend too much on googling that we may let the natural knowledge and learning ability, everything will evetually turn out to goggle it. And before long a goggle world wll be form. But then what if one day no more IT or google, nobody know what to do? where to look for answer, unable to innovate and create with it.

thanks for all the advise... but i definitely won't go to pub lah, drinking only serves to make depression worse... what i did was took vitamin pills and it have a significant effect...
no, i won't go for medical or those stuff because of the stigma... i dun want to have a record or anything since i'm not crazy, i'm possibly having a very low period of my life, kind of loss type... feel like so useless those type of days... but i mean for sure i know i am not useless because i work and i know my work helps the client... but that's not how i feel... deep down i feel like totally useless and want to die type... anyway i think it will be over after some time...
