No side effects? No over dependant to the med?
How are you now?
How's the procedure by the way

Nope.I'm fine now.just register and wait for your turn,it's straight forward.

any name for the med?

I think u first need the cognitive behavioral therapy. Med can help u to go thru the first rough period, but thinking change is the final solution.

Best wishes to u!

I was in your situation few years ago, I was prescribed Lexapro. It did not help me, but I have almost overcome all my fears because I met my Pastor.

Go to church, trust me, they can help you...

Btw I'm not a Christian...but I believe in God


P/s I am a happy girl now

"...problems so deep that I doubt anyone could help."

Please seek for divine help if mortal couldn't help. Thank you.

Point #4 in spoiler, im feeling all that.

Even right now writing this... I just dont know how already. Deep inside feel very depressed and sad. Outside at work, i put a mask. Alone at home, i am all alone. Lonely. Unappreciated. Hopeless. Each time everyday i pray to god, i am crying.

Don't depends on med. it will have withdraw effects. Sometime, we are depressed due to problems that are out of our control. Trust me, I also am suffering from depression. The only thing that I am doing now and it also have been keeping me from breaking apart are don't think about it. Learn to not give too many thought or care about the problem , especially the problem that you will be facing everyday. Also make sure you accept it as realities and accept it as how it will go.


Seem like we are all wearing mask eh. That is the reason why last time I wanna went out for outing. It's better to hangout and do something rather than at home and face the wall. Sometime, it's really depressed to face the blank wall all the time.

Anyway.. *hugs*

I think I have depression too. I am too stressed at work that I keep taking short nap in the morning and afternoon. At night cant sleep and difficult to wake up in the morning. Sometimes suicidal thought crossed my mind. I lost interest in everything. Every night keep praying to give me strength to go through difficult times.

TS.

sorry to hear that but u r not alone.

Religion, if u have faith in a religion, pray and learn more. Not seeking it to help your situation, but seeking it for better understanding. Focus on that.

Exercise. It helps a lot. Force yourself to have a regime so u are doing something. But don't overdo it. Again, learn and study which exercise u wanna try out, try different things but keep it safe.

Go out. Make it a point to never stay at home the whole day . Ever. Do not think Whr u gonna go, just go, w money in your pocket for transport and food. That's good enough.

Don't try to understand your depressions, be coz if we could do that, we wouldn't be in such state. It will only spiral downwards uncontralabily.

Food and diet. Eat fresh, and eat well. Find out which food brings u down and which may be better for you under such circumstances. For example, coffee, alcohol, junk food, may make things worst.

A holistic approach is best.

While I do agree going to gov hospital may be bad, as the medication given can be very very strong. But there is no harm trying. I heard UM Is better compared to HKL. the fees ain't exp at all, say maybe rm20 w mess and consultation. Bad part is u don't always get the same doc. But it would be a start, as u get used to it, how it feels like seeking professional help. If u think the mess is too strong ; too blur, a blank mind, emotionless; tell that to the doc, and maybe asked for a different prescription.

Do not expect a magic pill to make this all go away, it is a lifetime commitment to understand yourself. There will be ups and downs handling it. Take heart, you are only growing.

So .., think, do... Do not think too much, just do. Then come back tweak it and do. U will be less in a downward spiral as days pass. Do not set a goal, take it day to day. Be kind to yourself. Stop being too critical of yourself and the situation. Do talk to friends and family, someone you feel comfortable sharing and crying. Perfectly normal to cry.

Have a blessed day.

try eat less meat and more vege

Aside from eating clean, walk barefoot in a park or somewhere nature. Depression is something that you are stuck on your mind. Let it go to Mother Nature and in reverse it will heal you. Try it. It's free . No side effect.
