what does one do..

when one is going through a phase of extreme depression
and has lost all faith in him / herself

How do we bring that person back to normal life and help him / her find the lost confidence and make the person realize that there is nothing wrong with him / her.

That person is someone near and dear to me.

(There is a reason and a background for this behaviour - and it is not necessary to discuss here on this public forum)

I just want to hear some constructive comments from you guyz, how to initiate the process to bring him / her back to normal life.

P.S
WOWwww - My first long post without a smily :eek:

Re: what does one do..

Take ( sertraline) ZOLOFT :D

Re: what does one do..

Since you prefer not to give specifics on the reasoning behind this despressional behavior, I guess you’ll just be getting vague answers.

My advice would be to turn to what Islam has to say about the issue. Think how the Prophet (pbuh) would handle the situation. Pray to Allah(swt) to for help/guidance, and InshaAllah you’ll friend will feel better soon.:flower2:

Re: what does one do..

thankyou.

Did everyone read over the part where JB said “CONSTRUCTIVE responses”? Is this possible in the Cafe? Can we make this happen? C’mon guys, we can do it!

:smiley:

Re: what does one do..

You are right Phatti - But I think that is really un-necessary.
thanks for the kind words :flower1:

Re: what does one do..

my advice:similar to phatima's

  1. Pray to Allah for He alone can can remove any depression or hurt that you may feel.

  2. Follow the example of Prophet Muhammad-peace be on him-who faced the severest calamities and difficulties without being weakened, yielding or losing heart.

Inshallah may your friend get out of this depression soon.

Re: what does one do..

Really appreciate the spiritual guidance :flower1:
This is the off course the ultimate solution to every problem faced by mankind :slight_smile: .

I was also looking for some PRACTICAL - everyday activity, behavior, therapy suggestions

Has anyone ever experienced this ? Can you share your experience (not about the problem but the solution)

Re: what does one do..

how about exercise..that really works for me

Re: what does one do..

yeah thats something i am considering (seriously)
Not exercise exactly - but a walk in the park and around the block every evening - keeping company... u know. Talk about cheerfull things and stuff...

Re: what does one do..

hmmm so it’s you that we are talking about!

a bit of fresh air helps. perhaps even a long drive. i kickbox to relieve stress. :smiley:

maybe you can just talk about it with someone…ur wife in particular. it helps to get it out in the open.
