Just Don’t Give Up

by depressiondoctor on May 29th, 2007

I have always learned from my grandma that never give up child, and those words are engraved in my mind no matter what I am doing. Her words have made me a fighter in my life. I think that I can always stand to anything that comes in my way and have made me strong that I think that I can fight anything that comes my way and can survive.

Since I was the eldest in my house, I was really feeling all burdened up with the amount of responsibilities that I had and the money that I had to come up with every month and there were some months in which I was not able to make up to the target amount that was needed to make the ends meet.

I was thinking too much on things and then I was really frightened as to what will happen if things will go on the downward trend and what will I do if that happens as I am the one on whom all depend and there are a lot of expectations that are being attached with me. I was just going down and down thinking all these things and I did not hear the sound of my grandma saying that “Never give up child”, and those were the days that I was so down and was keeping it all to myself.

The only thing that I came up in my mind was to work hard and to meet the goals, but I was not able to gather myself up and then I thought that what is going wrong with me and why am I not able to focus on the things that I used to focus to such great extent, am I the same person who I said I was. Then there was a flash of the face of my grandma when I was asking myself these questions and her voice told me “Don’t give up” and I felt goose bumps all over my skin and I said, yes, this is it, I will not give up whatever happens, I will achieve to what I want, I will get to that point, I will define my goal again and re-orientate myself again and will achieve that height that I am targeting for and believe me that this day and that, I have worked through so many things in my life and have learnt to get over so many different feelings that just only work to distort me over the passage of time and have learnt to live with a positive attitude and lead my life.

I have met many people in my life whom I see and think of myself when I was in those times and I see that what are they thinking, are they thinking the same thing as to what I was thinking, would they be able to withstand the winds against which they are standing and I answered myself, it all depends on them, and I said if they believe in God and they believe in themselves then they will definitely find the way that will take them out of their misery that they are going through, but if they are weak, God give them the strength and they are able to hear the words, Don’t Give Up.

I know that all the people out there who are going through difficult times in their life will be able to fight back and live their life to the fullest, but they do need to show courage and strength and they do need to free themselves from the negative thoughts that hover around their minds all the time, they must “Free Their Minds.”

Do You Know What Gets Me Depressed

by depressiondoctor on May 19th, 2007

I start my day with every thing planned as to what do I need to do in terms of my job, I need to get my kids ready for school, have to make the breakfast and drop them off at school, this is how my day starts.

I work through the day till its time to get the kids from school and then I have to cook the lunch and feed them and help them do their homework and fix the house in the meantime. I know I can handle stress, I know I can be patient, I know I can just stand all only if I am being appreciated of all what I do. But to tell you honestly, it does not happen.

I am being criticized for every single thing that I do, I work day in and day out and I see that and hear the only words that “Things are not being done the way they should have been”, do you know what these words create in me, they create in me a feeling of worthlessness, depression, stress. I just feel that I cannot stand any more of this and then another day passes by.

Sometimes I feel that I really can’t go on anymore, but then I compose myself again and I know that I am the only one person on which a lot depends, I have to make the ends meet, I have to work and make sure that everything just falls into the right place, but at the day’s end all I get is being blamed upon that I am not able to work things that way I should. Can you tell me as to how would you feel if you are to be put in my shoes, I know that there could be different answers according to the different individuals, but honestly speaking, it does get one stressed out really bad no matter whichever way you are going to deal with it.

I am living each day at a time and I am just pulling myself up to make sure that I do not get so down that I get ill or I get so stressed or depressed that I am unable to go to work or I am unable to do what I have to do every single day. It just makes me feel really sick and makes me think at times that I am the one who is not right, I am the one who just cannot do things the right way, I am starting to believe of what is being told to me, but then my conscience just gives me the rings that this is not right of what is being told and I am not the one who messes up things and I go through all those feelings because I hear that every single day and sometimes its just enough.

Being a person, I have my own patience, there are times when I crack and there are times when I try to pull myself as much as I can, but still I am person who gets depressed with all the things going on in my life, but I have learnt that I will fight with everything that is going on inside and I will work my best to raise my children with all the values that I have and I am going to make them strong to live with stress if they have to and I believe they will all do great.

My kids are my strength and I gather strength from them every single day and I want to thank them to be so patient and caring and loving to me. I appreciate you kids.

Depression, A State

by depressiondoctor on May 11th, 2007

Depression is generally boxed out a feeling of blue and mostly it is being told by different people as to what it is and what are the different signs and symptoms from which others can detect that the individual is going through depression, but I say that depression is a state of mind and it has a lot to do with the mood swings that we go through every single day.

Have you ever thought that in a day’s time, how many times are there where you go through different mood swings and how many times did you fall in the feelings of depression, have you ever seen that, calculated that on your fingers, I think there might be some people who very closely observe the different changes that they go through in their moods and they are able to ascertain as to how many times they are going through the different feelings.

Depression is just like a cloak, which we wear when it comes on. It can be triggered by anything, anything that we can think of. For example a child can get depressed if he or she did not get the toy that they wanted for their birthday. An employee in a company can get depressed when they were not able to get the pay raise on the due time as outlined by the company. A mother can get depressed when her children are not listening to her and are making a mess of things at home. So there are so many different people in so many different situations who are going through the feelings of depression, which is a state or a cloak that just comes over us and we wear it.

It is natural to get depressed on different things, we should not take it as an ailment, but a natural response of our body. What we need to understand that being in depression can be something that is going to be harmful for our bodies. For example as know in general that anything in excess is going to bring a negative aspect along with it, such as if you are going to eat too much, you will start to gain weight, and there will be hormonal changes that will be brought upon and therefore this needs to be corrected by eating less and exercise.

The same is the case with depression, if you are going to feed your depression then it will grow and will reach the excess point, which is certainly not reasonable. The thing that you need to see is that as you can fix your eating habits, in the same way you can fix your depression. Try to remove the source that is causing depression. See and open your eyes, come out of it and look for yourself how much is out there for you and it is not the time to nurture depression but to get rid of it and learn as to what are the different ways that you can take care of it without having the need ever to take medicines to fix it.

Just remember that we have in our mind and soul the power to eliminate depression, it is when we not explore it, we stay in it, and need the help of the medicines, I am not saying that you should not take medicine, if you feel you need to take the medicines, you must take them, but I am just making you aware that there are ways that you can get out of depression on your own in a positive way by using the strength and power of your mind and soul. I go through mood swings as well and I try to put myself back on track, sometimes it takes me less time and sometimes it takes me more, but I am able to get myself back on track. I think if I can do it, so can you.
