today i was doing project school, and somehow,
i was again reminded of the symptoms of Depression and what it really is.
Definition
Depression may be described as feeling sad, blue, unhappy, miserable, or down in the dumps. Most of us feel this way at one time or another for short periods.
True clinical depression is a mood disorder in which feelings of sadness, loss, anger, or frustration interfere with everyday life for an extended period of time.
Depression is generally ranked in terms of severity -- mild, moderate, or severe. The degree of your depression, which your doctor can determine, influences how you are treated. Symptoms of depression include:
- Trouble sleeping or excessive sleeping
- A dramatic change in appetite, often with weight gain or loss
- Fatigue and lack of energy
- Feelings of worthlessness, self-hate, and inappropriate guilt
- Extreme difficulty concentrating
- Agitation, restlessness, and irritability
- Inactivity and withdrawal from usual activities
- Feelings of hopelessness and helplessness
- Recurring thoughts of death or suicide
Somehow, i remember all these symptoms occurring some time through this year.
well, at least i am experiencing more than 1/2 of it now i guess.
went to watch twlight today with churchmates.
and i realised that i only like the characters' character and their love.
but well, its a drama afterall.
no one is all that daring and faithful in reality.
then we went to watch carolling, which made me think of the most random thing that is not really related to the carolling.
#1. Anyone remember Britney's old old song, 'Born to make you happy'? yeah, i guess i was born to make other people happy but not myself.
#2. I'm nobody. I admit i used to thought i sang well. But look at those on stage singing. They make me feel embarrassed about my own voice, about how i actual suck as a backup singer cos of my vocals.
#3. God, please bless me with the talent to sing. Cos that's one of the only thing i can train and teach myself in order to serve you.
oh wells,
i think doreen is going to get a
depressing emo christmas.
