It's anonymous so I felt like posting...
When you feel like dying? What you do? I know how millions and in worse situation than me. Someone lost a son today (badaber airbase attack). So I feel that I'm in better shape as I have lost no one.
But what's making my depression worse is I've a history of awful events since I was 4 years old. It seems the world continues to swallow me up and I do not see any light. Since I was born, at least such events were once or every two three years. But it seems I'm getting hit by a train every week. I haven't lost anyone, but I've lost myself.
I've lost hope.
There are several reasons one gets depressed:
As mentioned above
- you are confused (post 3)
- you are comparing yourself with others (post 10)
- you arent living your life (post 5)
- you arent satisfied with life - summary of all
Go out find something to fill your thoughts...an idle mind is the play ground of the Devil.
Keep the mind active:
Take some classes - you can never be too knowledgeable in everything
Keep the body going:
Take up a hobby - something you havent tried - cooking
Keep the spirits high:
Explore the world - go traveling
Something for another:
Do something for someone - Pakistan needs alot of academies to train youth or invest in tourism sector - teach someone something that you know
Something
for the soul:
Do meditation (as a Muslim it would be voluntary prayers) like you can take up yoga, exercise, gym...work out that muscle..
Keep yourself busy and stop thinking others are like this or here and I am there or this is happening to me...I would have put up some verses of the Quran but then we have too many people ready to bash so I wont. Basically I do is take 1 or sometimes 2 or 3 verse/s of the Quran and compare alot of sites of what it means and is for....my curiosity is in that field find something that puts you going like that....
