I choose this topic because I’m also depressing right now, depression struck me. Like other depress people I felt like my life is not worth living anymore, I know I wrote about personal development blog and giving positivity to people is my first priority, in other words I should be tough and not whining about life but hey I’m also human and I’m not exempted to this kind of feelings.
But I’m okay right now; I just drink some water to settle myself down. And what helps a lot is when you think of those people on other side of the world who’s suffering more than what I’m complaining about. If you think about them and their status we are luckier because we have a lot more privileges than them.
People in Africa is dying of hunger because of lack of foods to eat, while me I can eat three times a day with some snacks in between and I’m whining about my life. What a stupid I am. People dying every day because of war, while me I’m here sitting in my laptop doing some blogging in my room sitting comfortably and then I complain. What a shame on me. People who work abroad and live their family behind to have some money for their kids future and sacrifice themselves, while me I’m here in my parents’ house and do nothing, and then I whine. What a disgrace I am.
So I don’t have the right to self pity myself and you also because others have much more problems than we are. If you are experiencing some problems right now and you’re depress, stop for a while and reflect. So what are the things to reflect? Well, what are the things you have that others don’t have and whatever they do they will never have something you have. What are the things you enjoy that other people even in their dreams can’t do? Be thankful about that because you are a fortunate individual.
Fight depression, you can do it and you have to do it. Smile, the world is great even though it is imperfect. You have to learn to accept your flaws and imperfection, great people have also flaws on them, in other words don’t try to be perfect because you are not.
Lighten up! We are all special and be proud of yourself. Stop self-indulgence, go out enjoy. Well you can say it is better said than done. Of course it is! that’s why you also have to figure it out yourself. Depression is temporary, just try to get over it, and after a while it will be gone. You’ll be back in a happy state again.

Depression SUCKS…
I would rather feel “nothing” than depressed..!
Thanks for droppin by Indrayani, I’m okay now, depression is part of human existence.
I’m glad you’re Ok now. The news about the 19-year old online suicide victim is still fresh for me. And I believe it is depression who triggered him to do such. I feel depress too sometimes especially when things are going oppositely as my wish. But then, I try to look back to my younger years when I was “living” on the streets and tell myself – I have a better life now, so what’s the point of being depress?
Thanks!
Thanks Sir Angel, yap I read his suicide letter and depression gets the best on him. That’s why we need to fight depression. Take care!
The best way to fight depression is to compare yourself to those who have less in life. I have been wanting to change the theme of my blog http://www.fatherlyours.com but I don’t have the courage to do it. as my friend Angel suggested. So right now, instead of being depressed,I am using my spare time to learn a little bit about this matter.Act on the things you can and forget the things you have no control over.
in spite of your depression, you’re still able to write something positive about it
You are right Sir Mon the best way to fight to depression is to compare yourself to those who have less in life, well maybe I can help you sir mon on changing your blog theme. Take care!
Yap Sir Roy that’s what I love about this blog I can pour out my emotions and can still get some positivity on any negativity. Take care!
It’s good to hear that you know how to get out of your depression. I was once depressed for 2 years. Very miserable realizing I cannot have both worlds —the Philippines and my husband.
How I got out of it was a process—-but during the process, I was constantly reading God’s word especially the Book of Psalms, meditating on it, and always trying to be grateful for what I have and not to seek for what I have. I try to see that my plight is much better than anyone else or realizing that other’s problems are worse than my own. If we learn how to be grateful and realize that our lot is better than others, we will recover from depression.
“All things work for good to those who love Him whom are called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28)
“Even though I walk in the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil , for you are with me. Your staff and your rod comfort me”
Your right Ma’am Bingkee we should be grateful for all the blessings we have because we are much more fortunate than others, Thanks for the quote Take care!
