DEPRESSION! Funny how in a world that is full of luxuries and full of hope, many are feeling depressed. How come our fore fathers did not suffer from it, or were they just good at hiding it?
Is depression used as an excuse when you've been ill treated? Many of use use that as an excuse. I too use it, especially when something doesn't go my may, I ger all depressed.
Is depression used as a cover to hide our true feelings about certain issues? Is depression the cause of further deep rooted problems? That's is tough to answer.
Hi Imran, I replied to this in the next post ... but you may have alreayd noticed before reading this reply. lol
wow. seriously. i think you're like a male me. i can fully understand and empathise with how you feel, cos i go through exactly the same thing. for years now i've been going through bouts of BPD. I've never sought medical help for it, cos there's a stigma in sg when it comes to visiting a shrink. i feel it getting slightly worse over the years but i've read up enough about my condition to set in place a lifestyle that helps me survive. which is why i spend most of my time in the company of friends, or exercising, just so i would be so occupied i tire myself out and then i have no energy to be depressed. the littlest things trigger me. it could even be a small mistake like a typo or dropping something. but it irks me to no end and i wonder why i'm not perfect and it leads on to other stuff. most people don't understand what i go through. my friends and loved ones (ie cousins) bear with it cos they love me. but i think for psycho it was the toughest cos he bore the brunt of my outbursts. which is why i pretty much figured out the fact that i could never be with someone or be loved by them. untimately, i have to be alone. it's too tough for me and the other party to be in a relationship cos everyone gets hurt in the end. plus seriously i don't trust myself as a parent.
i'm rambling. but you know what i'm trying to say. you're not alone in this. we'd like to think we're alone, but in truth, we're not.
Beerbabe - Wow! You're wearing a Teflon suit too! lol
Yeah, I know what you are trying to say.
I know I'm not alone. Just, when it comes on, in a way, we are alone. No one else can feel it, because it's all inside our heads! Yet, it seems to effect our entire body. Even if someone else is experiecing the exact same thing at the exact same time, you still feel alone. It's like being trapped in a cage, and anyone else you know who is going through the same thing is just in another cage. You can empathise, but at the end of the day, it's still a very lonely experience.
But, I figure you know what I am talking about. We're not alone, but we are. But that's okay ... because we're not alone! lol
hahhaha circular reasoning... hahaha
Yeah, I am good at circular reasoning, because reasonining a circular fashion is what I am good at!
