I'm Depressed...Please help!

Maraming maaring pagmulan ang depression. Minsan may mga tao, nadi-depress pero hindi malinaw ano talaga ang dahilan ng depression nila. Maganda na maidentify muna natin ano talaga ang ugat ng ating depression, at iyon ang bunutin o ayusin.

Isa sa maaaring pagmulan ng depression ay kawalan ng sapat na pagmamahal o yung perception na kulang siya sa pagmamahal na natatanggap.  The perception may be right...or it may be wrong.

Dito mahalagang tingnan muna ng isang taong nadi-depress kung ang perception nya na kulang sya sa pagmamahal ay tama. If the perception is wrong, then start thanking God that there is actually love being received. If, on the other hand, the perception is right, then you may start asking some questions like the following to identify the reason:
    - Am I hard to get along with?
    - Am I hard to please?
    - Am I not appreciative of others kind gestures to me?
    - Am I aloof?
    - Am I bitter?
    - Am I a notorious hard-headed person?
    - Do I often cause troubles to the people who used to care for me?


If you find any significant or relevant question from the above, and you see that the real problem lies in your negative attitude or outlook, then deal with that "root". Be humble to recognize a rather "unpleasant" reality. Start changing for the better.  Remember, real change in a person can only be effected by the person himself/herself. You don't have to change overnight. (Well, if you can do so, so much the better.) Change, normally, is gradual. 

When you become a person who knows how to appreciate the expressions of love, concern, or care of others, then the people who express these would be encouraged to express more. You will be happier.  You will be able to lift off related depression from your system. 

I said you will be happier! But you can go a higher level... you can be happiest!!! And how is that? Instead of always waiting for others to share their love and care to us, GO OUT... REACH OUT...AND SHARE YOUR LOVE AND CARE TO OTHERS. Probably the reason you felt depressed for feeling "unloved" IS FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO SYMPATHIZE with others who are experiencing the same. And not only to sympathize, but to ACT OUT...TO REACH OUT TO THEM even as you are being reached out by others. 

Isn't it nice that the world would be a place of sharing noble things? So everything has a purpose. 


God bless,
Kuya Tony
