hi guys

Can't this take this life like it is now anymore.....

I have suffered it alot of times and this is what i do :

since you said you work for 16 hrs/7days ,  that might be the root cause..

you might want to take a week break and hangout with your good friends, working 16hrs a day and that too 7 days a week might have affected your thinking...

so take a break, work out, talk to your friends, ..

good luck

@mukurdhom, @nyshangal

Engage in different activities around you. Craigslist might be good website to look at.

 Try doing some volunteer work. Helping others will give you a sense of accomplishment. 

 Watch inspirational movie or documentary. CNN hero 2010 gave me goosebumps.

Go to club or sports bar. Meet people and talk to them.

Find something that interests you and be crazy at it.

 

Hi Rachas Bhai(hope you are younger than me)
As said by everyone in this thread, the root cause of your depression is your work schedule.
Please remember that we all are human  being, not a machine and our body needs periodic rest.
I know, it is easier for us to ask you  to take a day off from your work without knowing your financial situation. Having said that, the only solution I could provide is  to invite you to visit me and my family in southern California for the winter break. After visiting us, you might find a new friend on my little son, who will keep you busy with his errands.
Please do not let your negative thoughts dominate you.
Good Luck!

Hello,

Call Nepal and talk to your family and friend Everyday.

 

Regards,

Sharon

Hi Demon (rachas)!

Let me share my experience. I go through depression now and then, at least once in a month, lasting for couple of days. I feel like giving up everything and going to jungle to live as a "sanyaasi" (plz don't laugh!)  but I can't meditate and I am afraid of wild animals too. I like to watch good movies, read a novel or do nothing. I just ponder on the causes of the depression and face it, accept them because I just think it as a phase of the life.  I also take some days off from the work to be with me and myself, not giving a damn on anything.  It is so easy to be depressed in this country as u would have a same routine life without any break. No relatives or frens would be available when u badly need to see them. Seriously, this feeling will pass after somedays. Then, I realize depression is just a part of a normal life. At last, I think u r the best friend of urself, other people can assume or try to imagine but u know how it feels. Express ur bottled up emotions in any way. I don't know how? But sometimes u can say it loud when u r alone, be careful of forbidden words. he he!

Remember u know what works and what not!

Take care !

hi

heehee Depression, Trust me I suffered most from it. I had crazy sucidial tendencies, blues, feel like leaving this country for ever and much more complex feeling. Needless to say I am suffering from manic depression. But I take is as one part of my life. I have depression so I can control. I dont let other way around. I agreed with most reply. But mukurdhoom, most of you suggestions are worthy except medication part. Some depression dont need medication, that is true. As we came from Nepal, we think all illness is PAGALPAN. So are so afraid that someone level us something.I was so harsh on myself when I dignosed with this illness. I do take my medicine and it helped me. Rakshak, sometimes when you need medical help, you need it(no matter what you think). People take medication for blood pressure which is life long. Some suffer from TB take 1 year medication. Likewise, if you suffer from short term depression, take medicine for few months(BUT FOLLOW ALL THE ADVICE BEFORE TAKING IT<GIVE YOURSELF 1 WEEK, AT LEAST) Dont even worry about insurance, this country you can get help if you ask. But if you really think going back home makes you happy , then go back. But beware, what if you feel same once you are back. Depression can hit anyone, anywhere.

ok That was my part. But write more, I see you are not replying, even Crazy's advice hoh, ur big fan of her story. Where are u now. , i am the craziest one as one of her story "kramasha"lol. now I accept it , I am feeling better. the key is Share it my friend, SHARE. there are lot of ppl like you, ur not alone. Write, This SAJHA sabai ko sajha

goodluck

Oh common!

dont worry I know how it feels. I am out of the blue now. but before that I suffered from so long term depression that you cannot ever imagine. its was really bad. I felt i am like a looser, pathetic person in the world, noone understand me. i wanted to die(higher sucidial tendiencies). So, I google suicide and i found Samartians website. I mailed them. I share all my feelings in emails. I cannot talked how i feel even  these days. so i wrote them .i emailed 10 times and they replied it. it helped me in greater extent.  they replied in 24  hrs. it felt good. try this website and write jo.i did what you just did. I intentionally flush my phone. I deactivate facebbok. I did not clean my room for days and days. i did not ate and what not. But trust me"This Too Shall Pass" every morning is a new morning .

 i feel like i am the main cause of problem going around my family and noone try to get. oh lord. i cried so much that my eyes sollowen for days after days. you know, I  being there and i am outta now. that doesnt meant i wont go back to that phase. BUT, presently, i am enjoying life(not a lot but somehow.

you said 3 days right, give yourself 4 more days. that will make one week. if you wont feel better, ask for medical help. believe me or not, I denied medical help for months. I took medicine and feel better in 2 month. I follow all the suggestions(most of them as same as written by sajhaties). even if u start medicine( i pray you wont have to), it is imp to take track of your life. my case is DIFFERENT. but depression can hit anyone.

dont worry and write more. whatever comes in your mind, share in sajha. if you cant share all your feelings in sajha, share half of it or quater at least. feelings are heavy, so lets share. and rest of the feelings, you mailed to jo(check website above)and read their relpy. (You Are Not Alone Who Feel This Way)

My questions to all readers( does any one else know what to live better life with manic depression- BP disorder) I am that

 

Mukurdhom,

he got only one stupid reply(just now) . It is not him who is blaming himself. It is  DEPRESSION (which is K-K-jati timle lekhya kasto). hah, i named my depression, he is one ugly animal named "Kuttajati"sometimes he takes over me, i won now but fight is still going on.

la ma lekhchu how I felt when I was depressed, timle j j bhannu cha bhana hai, I dont care( i will laugh at you, make sure make it funnier than earlier)

1. I am the biggest problem

2. I hate myself

2. I am not only a piece but i am shit all over the place

3. My family and friends never tried to understand me. they are really mean people

4. I am a looser, big time looser. my life is a wasted life as spilled milk

lajja

timle lekhya you line man parena, edit gara (  it's because you made them treat you likeI guess everything started when you started disrespecting your love one. It was never like that before) you never know

Listen Mukurdhoom, No one ever want to(really really want to ) feel this way, SHIT happens so need to clean up you know.

but it was funny response , make me laugh. LOL

smoking and drinking won't help, hai stock market that is boring, Football season that is intersting. pay  your bill. this is imp. i forgot to pay my bills when i  depressed.

If you're in student visa in the USA that is the biggest depressing thing in the world. things like taking pictures, lighting candles, eating chocolates or even smelling your fart etc etc will not help you. it's a very very stressful and waste of your time and inner conscience shows you sign of depression to warn you.if you're depressed, then you should be to be in such depression situation. get of the situation, then you will not be depressed. 

watch larry king live on youtube.... 

its more than a week, hope u r doing well,  just concerned

Take Care!
