How Clinical Depression Affects Whole World?

Clinical Depression is a serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, how you think and the way you act. The condition can not be wished away by the patient since it is not a personal weakness. So in this depression people lack the ability to pull themselves together so as to come out of this situation. It may begin by slowly building up over a period of weeks, months or even years. At times, it may begin suddenly while at other times. Causes may include biological factors such as a chemical imbalance that you were born with or a combination of environmental, genetic and psychological factors.

Its symptoms are categorized into three different groups like the physical group, behavioral/attitude group and the emotional group. Physical group comprises of insomnia, headaches, stomachaches, decreased energy, digestive problems and fatigue. In behavior group symptoms are as the patient lacks in concentrating, remembering things and making decisions. When we talk of emotional group, the patient start having suicidal thoughts, feel very agitated, hopeless, helpless, worthless or sometimes guilty of outcomes that were not necessarily there fault.

The most commonly known types of clinical depression are the major depression, Dysthymia depression and the manic depression.

  • Dysthymia depression is considered to be a less intense type that involves long-term, chronic symptoms that appear to be less harmful to the patient but at the same time prevent one from functioning properly
  • Major clinical depression, a combination of several clinical depression symptoms occur and obstruct your ability to work, sleep properly, eat well and enjoy activities that you used to enjoy.
  • In Manic depression the patient is usually overly excited in small matters, has an increased spending urge and sometimes sleeps for less hours.

I haven’t died, promise.

By No Stress on April 28, 2009

I haven’t died, promise.
I have really struggled lately about posting, because its been so long and I feel so bad that it has just become overwhelming and so I have avoided it altogether. You get this feeling like, “I gotta post something really good” and that’s no fun. When I started this blog, it was for me, because that’s what I needed at the time just to make it through the day. Every day I felt extreme anxiety and this was a therapeutic way to journal about my feelings and try to make sense of everything. Over time the blog has changed, as well as its purpose. I feel now that the blog is no longer for me, but rather, its for all of you.

I still have anxiety. The last few months have definitely tested my skills and I know I am still on a journey to figuring it all out. But where I used to be so open about everything, I feel hesitant to be so open now which definitely means the blog is no longer for me.

Do I want to keep posting? Definitely. Do I want the blog to stay alive? Of course. As I notice all the spammers taking over the comments section it really REALLY angers me. But then one soul out there will leave a real, genuine, heartfelt comment that I know was hard to write and that makes EVERYTHING worth it.

So I will continue to post when I find something for you of value, but how often? I can’t say. But I haven’t died, promise. And I hope the blog doesn’t either. But I won’t put in fluff just so I can say I blogged. If you have a topic that you are interested in learning more about please leave a comment so I can research it or fill you in on any tips that I already have. As long as its not a comment soley based on selling xanax or other advertisements I am all for it. I want to help you if I can, so let me.

On a side note, I like to do hobbies to boost my self-esteem and because they are relaxing. When spring comes I am itching to get in the dirt and plant something. I have always done flowers but this year I am starting my first garden.

I am trying out a square foot garden, and we’ll see how it does. Everything I am learning about this process I have learned from the blog My Square Foot Garden:


Gardening is SOOO relaxing to me. It feels good to get some work done and be outside in the warmth and then to watch something grow because of what you did. Usually I end up killing a lot of what I plant so I get really excited when something actually grows!

These are my baby strawberries. I have also planted lettuce, onions, and carrots and will try some tomatoes and corn in a little bit when its warmer.

Other hobbies I recommend learning about are photography and yoga.

Hope all is well out there!

What time is it? NOW

Serene Cyclist

by Christine Stapleton | Depression on my Mind

“The sun is just barely up - no clouds in the sky. The temperature is perfect - you can sit quietly on a bench without feeling a chill or ride your bike without breaking a sweat. There is a light breeze coming out of the southeast. The palm trees are gently swaying.

But me, I can’t stop thinking about that stupid meeting…”

Is Multitasking Good For You?

Multitasking

by Russell Bishop
originally found on Beyond Blue, I think!

“People multitask everywhere these days, thinking they are being productive - Blackberrying away while walking down the street, texting while driving, talking on the phone while answering email. Seems like everyone’s doing it. The only question: is it part of the solution or part of the problem?”
