heyye friends

thanx for the suggestion.........
have with gr8 difficulty accepted my present condition........
but hoping..................... i can accept the fact that depression can return......
 
...........looking at others of my age doing things which i want to but cant......
n coz of the only reason - DEPRESSION..............it really feels awful....
in the process of falling down again n again n getting up ......at some point u get tired..... u feel hopeless.....u feel like a loser......n when u know that things can be even worse the next time u fall............why will anyone want to get up or even try getting up???  i really don't want this depression to come back.......this time i want to get out of depression once n for all................

Aiming to get the glass half-full....

hi ladybug,
i think making a wish list really helps.......
make a wish list........all the things u wanna do......(in the near future)
then prioritize........by thinking
1) which things not done will affect your life......
2) things that you love doing.....
the top wishes become your goals............for the near future.........
 
when m confused and dont really know what i want to do.....(as i m right nw...)
what i want from life......i start setting short term goals.....keeping in mind my likes.........within some time the road ahead gets cleared............hopefully...........u will also come to know what you exactly want......
 
n as far as failure is concerened.....its well said "Failure is a step towards success"
i think we need to give our 100% and not worry about the result........
i know its easy to say but difficult to do......
atleast by doing so we wont regret of not giving our best...... we will be satisfied.......then whatever the result might be.......

thanx Tiana
yes i m using the program...... am using the tools......n have finished with my 1st session........
the last time i was in depression.....meditation really helped me out but this time its like impossible to meditate........
but ofcourse my family and friends are always there for me.......
but at the end of the day......its me who has to learn to live with it........
and accept that it can come back............
and for me accepting depression is really difficult.......
yup but now i surely want to come out......and m trying...
i have started to do things i like......

heyye friends

heyye friends,
m here after a long time..........i had started feeling really better....and now the graph of depression has again started to go down....i think m slipping back into depression and honestly.....before a few months i used to feel......suicidal every moment but with time its intensity and frequency got lesser n lesser n now it really feels bad that depression is again setting in........i hate getting out and then again getting in depression.....m hating this..........it feels like if depression had to come back then why did i put efforts to get out....n now that its coming back.......its better i stay with it.........n stop my medicines n.......all...............if its gonna come back like this then its of no use.......trying with meds or anything else.....its just waste of everyone's time and energy

heyye friends

heyye friends,
 
Thank u for your suggestions but its just that i get tired at times of this depression cycle......every time i think things are getting better..............but i am always wrong...........its just like 'calm before the storm' ...................i got my final exams from february ending.......and all the year i was trying to be stable and composed...working out solutions for depression....and all thats been happening in life.....and finally today i thought since things seem to be fine now ill get back to studies.....and i did.........but today late evening i just got to know about the storm which is here.......i am really worried i dont even have a month in my hand.......and i gotta study so much.......with my mood swings,depression,and all thats being happening......i am just too much tired of all this............
theres nothing thats working for me at the moment.......my near and dear ones have started losing hope......and now i too m losing hope............i really want to give my finals......it seems to be the only solution which of course once tried i will come to know if it did work..........its all dark.......iut there the ray of hope seems to be vanishing............

Shorten the stay of depression

heyye,
yup you are very true when saying that depression is just around and we need to be alert.....actually we have to accept it as a part of our life.......there are a few lucky ones who have accepted the fact.......ofcourse m not one of those.....i am still struglling to get this depression out forever......
hopefully someday....either depression ill have gone far away from me or ill have accepted it as a bitter truth.....
wishing smiles to everyone........
