Due to the off-topic conversations in the love thread leading to talks of suicide, depression, angst, anxiety, and the likes...

This is your place to discuss your inner conflicts, share with others or simply give positive advice to people suffering. Reflect on past experiences, post your views on mental illnesses, share stories of family members who suffer from such illnesses - basically just keep it on topic.

Okay guys, if you feel burdened (slightly or A WHOLE FUCKIN' LOT), feel a need to vent and don't feel like moving away from your keyboards to do it, this is a good place.

Surprised that it has my tongue language. It is not really new to me, been known in counselling they advise you should write down in paper all your thought for release, renew, review... with whatever topic like how you feel about yourself, how you love yourself, your future goals,... etc. I tried and actually I feel the more you write in out the more your mind will forget it. That it is not a good thing when you forget the thing you dont want forget, which is appropriate applied for only you your own. I prefer keeping some of my thought, all other I dont want, I throw it all in Metalstorm amigo or chatroom blog etc...

I feel very, very apprehensive of my return to school in Syria.

Almost a month later, how do you feel?

I've been feeling really weird, and occasionally depressed, and I just can't name most of my feelings most of the time for the past month. Too much changes, and too much stuff has been going on, life really tired me and I wasn't quite as active as I usually am for a while now. I think I need an internet break, too; it's too easy to hide behind my computer screen and deny life. So you guys probably won't be seeing a lot of me.

Still the same, especially with the unending stream of negative news coming from there. War is not nice, and combined with my paranoia, it becomes a ghastly monolith. Sometimes I just think I'll go back and I'll try to live like all those people and cope with the sounds of fighting and shit, but moments later I get disheartened and remember that accursed day in which it was extremely bad. Especially that I'm returning after nearly 3-4 days...
Thanks a lot for asking, and good luck with your internet break. I need one too.

You need it. Get to see your real life friends more, and try to make some new friends. And stay positive, I command you. You're growing up. This is all just a part of it.

I also don't feel ANYTHING when I'm asleep. I guess that stuff was for depression I suppose and that crap is like "staring-at-stupid-shit-and-more-hurting-your-eyes". It was fucking boring.

I rarely feel anything I would describe as "depression", so I haven't had a look at it. I guess it would be boring/pointless if you aren't depressed?

Quote:

Yoooo guys, currently I'm doing project about mental illness. Before going to the main point I would describe my side first...

Mental illness is stigmata in Vietnam, China, South Korea, could be Japan too... here how they treat people with this illness:
_ in Vietnam: they treat mental ppl like animal with a lot of despising and scornfulness, hating, if you are mental one in Vietnam then truly your are doomed... (Fuck communists...)
_ in China: they treat mental ppl even worse, a lot of despising, disgusting, hating,... if you are mental one in China you never have a life...
Fuck China and Vietnam and communists...
_ in South Korea: no you cant escape the tragedy of life, ppl there are dumb with bias too...
_ in Japan: not good better hide yourself...

So to sum up, Vietnam and China are cruel, South Korea to some level too, Japan is better at with infrastructure, but still uneasy...

Due to my project I have gain reality in associate with some America organization:
- in US: still something uneasy, but ppl interact more open, respectful, and careing-in-service at the institution/mental care-infrastructure/etc... sure there can be less bias: in America..
A lot of soldiers has Post Traumatic Disorder
A lot of famous celebs having it example 1
A lot of famous ppl having it example 2

... I think generally mental disorder illness in USA has becoming a common thing, if not regarding of different individual, to the community it is something less stressful, as the mental ppl will be safe in their institution, when in life for work/study, they still feel safe but because of the individualism and privacy-respect culture. So in America, it still no much problems, mental ones can survive there. (or any American can share or change my project conclusion..)

Same to some modern like Canada, as refered to Troy said 1 of every 4 there has still not much bias about, also we have another mental illness thread ( I would post this on for my project too)

As stating above those countries in Asia which treating mental ppl bad are linked to low human rights and even life standard quality... (Fuck them all, I said), ; D

What about your country and share your perception of your place's bias/culture about this, do you think mental ppl can be safe in your/or somewhere over the world if you know.. ?

Depression is a very difficult thing to live with and there are, of course, many different forms of depression, some of which can span years and even potentially an entire lifetime although these forms generally do not hinder one from day-to-day activities. There are other types that are so intensive that one cannot even get out of bed, it's very sad and discouraging. I have found that depression and general anxiety conditions go hand-in-hand, this combination often leading to existential thinking which, though rooted in great intellectualism, can be quite a burden to one's emotional existence and well-being if you will.

Oftentimes it is advised one suffering from the aforementioned should just get on some kind of medication although I think this negates the idea of one getting truly well because the depression/anxiety has its roots in something and once these roots are untangled and sorted out one can be free of said burden without having to become dependent on mind-altering medication. I suppose this does depend on the severity of it all though, I do not mean that as a 100% blanket statement for all situations.

Anyway, just a few passing thoughts on the topic at hand.

When im sad or depressed from a death or an argument. I just walk, walk around and listen to music or no music. I walk to the park, to the store, to home. For some reason walking helps me get rid of my sadness. It could be for a day, a week, or a month at most for me. I wear a hoodie when I walk, even if its summertime, I dont want people to see me cry if I decide to cry.

The sadness can last for days. Walking generally helps releasing your stress IMO, it distracts you from the bad mood and excluding the emotional overwhelm energies... Just try best to control with moderation, walking when you want but ably stop when enough... : )

I'm mostly over depression but I have times where it strikes me, like these recent times... Now I just try to deal with it right when I start showing initial symptoms (like loss of energy, confusion about what I'm doing with my life, feeling bored with everything, being quick to anger) rather than let it escalate into a mental breakdown or something I'm gonna have more trouble getting out of. For the most part, it's about finding healthy ways that help you get over it and that varies between different people.

Most people find it very helpful to have someone they can talk to about what's bothering them, which is part of why I like internet forums so much. Makes it easy to find someone cool to talk to when you think you have no one there in real life or feel like you're surrounded by stupid or boring people who can't possibly relate to you.
Moving back in with parents after living alone for school was one of the most stressful experiences I dealt with and many people my age agree. It would make me miserable for at least a month or two. So I can imagine things are very difficult for you.
