I followed what my friend told me about doing a research on Clinical Depression and guess what, some of the facts really points to my behavior now. I will highlight some of those symptoms that have been on my trace for the past few weeks but I don’t know if I’m really having this kind of depression or not. I guess I really have to see a doctor now.
Common Symptoms of Clinical Depression
There are different forms of clinical depression with different combinations of the following symptoms:
Physical:
* Sleep disturbances-insomnia, oversleeping, waking much earlier than usual
* Changes in appetite or eating: much more or much less
* Decreased energy, fatigue
* Headaches, stomachaches, digestive problems or other physical symptoms that are not explained by other physical conditions or do not respond to treatment
Behavioral/Attitude:
* Loss of interest or pleasure in activities that were once enjoyed, such as going out with friends, hobbies, sports, sex, etc.
* Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions
* Neglecting responsibilities or personal appearance
Emotional:
* Persistent sad or "empty" mood, lasting two or more weeks
* Crying "for no reason"
* Feeling hopeless, helpless, guilty or worthless
* Feeling irritable, agitated or anxious
* Thoughts of death or suicide
talagang hindi naka-highlight yung sex. hindi nawawalan ng interes dun haha! cheer up dude. its all in the mind.
ReplyDeletedepression is not so much a physical problem as it is an emotional issue. get a hobby. talk to a psychiatrist if you know one. i noticed you didn'y highlight "Feeling hopeless, helpless, guilty or worthless", so that means you still have a lot of self-worth. its never too late, stay away from the light!!!
Tol, I just read your blog and I just want to comment such things, first, hindi ko masasabing seryosong problema yan, dahil unang una problema yan ng mga walang magawa sa buhay, mga may problema sa isip at hindi malaman kung saan na patutungo ang buhay, come on tol, ikaw nga itong mas biniyayaan ng sanggatutak na utak. You have your family, your kids, and your friends, kung sinasabi mong meron ka nyan what more sa akin ( I hope you get what I mean) parang sinabi mo na rin na malala ang sakit kong yan,
ReplyDeleteSecond, pwede ba wag kang magpapaniwala sa mga sinasabi ng kung sino sino, kahit doctor pa yan, kung hindi naman experto at matagal na sa pag aaral, eh isang tabi mo lang.. focus on your goals, your dreams.. isa lang ang dapat mong paniwalaan, si bro at ang sarili mo.. siguro namimiss mo lang ang mga bagay bagay na ginagawa mo dati.. wala naman sigurong masama kung babalikan mo ng konti ang MABUBUTING BAGAY na pwede mong balikan, katulad ng pagbabalik mo ng konti sa music, kung gusto mo akayin mo ang mga bata sa music, magandang goal yan.
Just think na maraming reasons kung bakit masarap mabuhay.. mas positive thinker ka pa nga sa akin eh.. depression is not part of our family's dictionary.. just think of those times na bata pa tayo.. on how we handle problems, pumupunta tayo kung saan, fort santiago, fiesta carnaval, simple things pero makakapag isip ka at the same time kasama mo ang mga bata..di ba ganun naman ang ginagawa dati natin.. Siguro ang kailangan mo lang gawin is to go back to basics.. Let not things be complicated... wag masyadong makikinig sa mga henyo.. kasi they might destroy you or worst baka mabaliw ka dahil sa kanila... nobody can't say what's good for you but yourself... nobody nobody... but you!!! ito ay payo lang ng isang nagmamalasakit na kuya.. kung gusto mo ng kausap dito lang ako.. minsan labas tayo..
