I Battle Depression

I did not seek any professional help if what am dealing for awhile now is depression or not. However, I do feel like some of the symptoms matches with one of the different types of depression that I have read online.

To me, this 'thing', I have gone through a few years back, I got it over now. However, recently especially last year, this feeling is back but with a different reason.The old feeling is still the same but is coming back every now and then. I cannot explain the details since a lot had happened in the past. Furthermore, what is happening recently, makes it worst...things just kept piling up and it is starting to feel it is too much to handle already.

I feel so angry, heavy, tired, disappointed, anything that all the negative feelings you could describe while am going through with it. I feel like I am really lost and down almost everyday. I like to think I do not want to live anymore....in fact, at times whenever am on a higher floor, I tend to look down and imagine myself jumping to the ground. The are times when I am slicing a vegetable, I tend to stare at the knife and tried to point it in my wrist or in my chest. Although, fortunately, I often managed to make myself snap back to reality and put away the knife.

At times, I regret living, too. It feels like bad things and hard days keep coming one day after another.
Easily I get angry, irritated, and get hurt over simple things. I am extremely getting sensitive each day and because of that, I hurt people unknowingly.
Whenever someone gives me an advice, no matter how hard I try to control myself and think positively, it always end up for me as a negative remark, even though they all just want to try to help.
And every single time, a person tells me: "I am here for you", I don't really believe them as most people are only 'curious' of what is happening around rather than being really concerned about it. Rarely you will have those 'genuine concerned people' you will meet nowadays. Often, I would doubt people who says comforting words because I am afraid they are just being passive and it is hard to trust people nowadays.

I used to be a jolly and an optimistic person. The people told me I have changed. It is hard to deal with these kind of stuff to be honest as most of the times, I don't know what to do.

It may sound that I am lonely, you can say that is. However, lonely or not, I would still feel the same... this devastating feeling of being worst, the burdens and the feeling of heaviness, . . .

It is making me paralyzed...both my heart and my soul.

There are times when our hearts tend to prevent us from letting go. If so, it's best to hold on as tight as we can, instead of believing all these things other people claim to be true. You see, it takes much more courage and strength to hold on and to believe in yourself, than to let go and to believe what people want you to believe. To me, you're still the same smart, joyful and most of all lovely girl I met a year ago. This you being "different", is just you trying to cope with all that's going on in your life. It just takes time, and just like everything else in life it won't be easy. I can only tell because I've been there myself. So believe in yourself being strong enough and you're halfway there. You've proven me many times already that you're strong enough to also get through this chapter. You'll get there.Love,Aleahya

Yeah, they don't see that I'm trying my best to deal with these things. They think that I never tried to change and be a better person and that I fail each time. That's I get more and more sensitive each day.

I figured. Perhaps, if you feel like it, you can talk to them about it?
Raldy · 26-30, F
Nah, I'm a stubborn gal, you see :) I'll deal this on my own.

Maybe you're not as over that "thing" as you think you are. Traumatic events can cause PTSD and depression. Even just normal life events like the loss of a relationship or something like that can be challenging to get over. I would suggest some type of release like talk therapy or journaling to help you get everything off your chest. Also, taking good care of yourself is imperative. Good nutrition, adequate sleep, daily movement, and meditation are all part of a good foundation for brain health (and overall good health, too). Read my post on foods that can help beat depression and make sure to include those in your diet (since they boost the beneficial brain chemicals in the same way that drugs can).

Something similar happened of what you said about what can lead to 'depression'. It will be hard but I will try my best to try the advice you gave me. Thanks Aimee, will check on your post as well as it sounds interesting.

Identify what causes your depression. If you feel like that out of the blue then see a doc. If ur depressed because of a problem then find the solution and strive hard to solve it. If the problem that depresses u dont have any solution at all then dont worry about it coz its out of your hand. If you ask what i do, i go and drink wine and feel the depression deeper until it grips da hell out of me. For me, there is no point feeling it w/out feeling it in full extent. Its a one HELL of an experience you should not miss...

right now, I feel like doing the same, but instead, vodka he he. I might as well not miss that kind of experience :)

What I found when I asked professional is no one can cure it or help you as you have to help yourself and sort it out yourself so the only way to get better is help yourself! The first step is admitting it and knowing there's something wrong and so the second step is to do something about it :) so you done the first step :)
Raldy · 26-30, F
If that's the case, sadly makes it Harder, recognizing abs admitting what's wrong yet no matter how hard you try, it doesn't seem to get any better. Life is a bitch :)

Aimee gave you great advice. What helps me is exercise. I belong to a club. An alternative is jogging at least 4 times a week. Another suggestion is a sun lamp. This time of year many people are prone to SAD (Seasonal Affected Disorder).
Raldy · 26-30, F
Yeah, she did :) Are you still struggling with it? or you were able to get over with it?
