Re: Depression
Depression is not just a myth but a reality…as per a report that i read a few years back 80% of people in Karachi were suffering from Depression. Yet we dont see anyone getting treated for depression. I did a reasearch on this and found that mostly people think that going to a psychiatrist for help means there is something mentally wrong with u…in simple words ur signed off as a nut case. So people avoid going to get help. (by people i mean Pakistanis here)
If not treated depression has severe consequences the worst being death
The best way to get rid of depression i feel is talking it out or going for counselling … i wont recommend going for a pill coz u might end up becoming dependant on it which again isnt good.
Also, depression is not a women only illness…the fact is men are more prone to being depressed coz they dont talk things out…women on the other hand find a way to talk it out or cry it out but men can end up having severe depression and taking it for granted. So if u r feeling down or having a headache for no reason think about it.
Try finding happiness thru every little thing u can think of. Its easier to give an advice but its difficult to actually find something positive when things are going downhill.
Just believe in Allah and believe in urself i am sure everything will work out fine for u inshaAllah 
Re: Depression
Life isn't all joy with no downside. All of us have hard times, sadness, isolation just as we have good times, joy, socialisation...... the problem comes when it goes on so long that it causes us problems. I remember both with my own grandmother and my husband's grandmother that as they grew older the extremes of joy and sadness both reduced and they were more apt to react with moderation to any situation.
While it's right to recognise it and look for a way out, not all sadness is clinical depression. There are many ways out but the first one is the oldest, most natural one: support and love from someone close to you. Another one is exercise, fresh air, healthy food. It 's not a joke, it can really make a difference. Before you go for a pharmaceutical intervention, try a psycologist or counsellor, someone trained to recognize any problems and help you.
Re: Depression
Thanks chuks for the support.
I have a rock solid support my chanda si sister T. I have fabulous friends. Equally fantastic friends here. I have so much love and support and so many wishing well and wanting well that i feel like a very very very very very very lucky girl. My hubby is very understanding as well...though it puts strain on him he tries to cheer me up constantly
I want and need and wish for a psychologist right now. I'm currently having a positive spell cas T is here. Im doing things differently. Im nto sat alone in my room thinking till my head feels heavy enough to drop. I got her sat here, chatting to me...i feel at home even though im so far away :) But i'd like to know why whatever happens to me does happen. Why can't i cope without her or someone else being with me. What is all this fear thats shored up within me. What am i afraid of. Something is stopping me in my tracks and i cant put my finger on it. Need the counsellor for that...i'd like to figure myself out.
Shirin jaanum, the depression is such a pain i swear, there is no impetus to get up to exercise, why bother eating, or even go out..uo feel like there is no point in doing anything because you are so empty and hollow and feeling crap nothing n the worlds is worth the efort.
I am trying hard though...but i can't battle alone now. Can't wait to see my GP. Inshallah, answers that i need are in the pipeline.
