    I’ve struggled with depression too and I find that doing exercise, getting in touch with nature, taking the right supplements, eating well, and painting has helped me out. I hope you’ll feel better. Hugs.

    Hi Georgia greetings from Singapore. I think you are one of the most honest RUclipsrs and I appreciate your frankness. Someone said that depression is a flu of the mind - so seeing a doctor is really a good idea. Apparently 1 out of 16 Singaporeans will get depression at least once in their lifetime. To put things in perspective, it is quite common. Don't be too harsh and judgmental on yourself. You are a very pretty lady, full of charisma and you are very genuine. Don't forget to LOVE THYSELF. Take care and I look forward to seeing more of your excellent vids and may God keep you and protect you. Stay blessed.

    The best advice I can give is that no matter what anyone says, you just need to do what is best for you. Also remember that not all anti-depressents are the same and they react differently with everyone. Pay close attention to how you are responding to them and don't be afraid to talk to your doctor if there are issues with them.

    I was on anti depressants in my late twenties after my mum passed away. I was living Wales then. The reason for my depression was due to the fact I was not told of my mum’s death till a year after cos I was in my late pregnancy & the fam thought best not to inform me.
    Took me nearly 10 years to recover. I am in my 60s now & though I m no longer on medication, it still hurts when I think of it.

    Greetings from Singapore! I’ve tried antidepressants and therapy for 3-4 years now. It’s really important to get the right doctor ;) I first tried Prozac and it was hell for me, I felt even worse with more suicidal thoughts and extreme vomiting. Held on out of sheer stubbornness! But I made the switch to lexapro and immediately I felt so much better. So it’s really a journey of experimentation. All the best dear Georgia

    Anti-depressants.. I tried them in my twenties. While they helped me stop crying about what a rubbish life i had, they compressed all feelings and turned me into a vegetable. That made it difficult to function in my job, and as you can imagine feeling like a vegetable has it's own set of problems. I think I only stayed on it for 4 weeks and didn't ask to try a different sort.

    All the best to you! It usually isn’t that easy to start with meds, you have to get the dosage right and give your body time to adapt to it. So just don’t expect an overnight cure, it takes some time to work. Great that you’re getting help! Stay in therapy though, meds and therapy kind of go together.

  • @JerryGs-Cards
    @JerryGs-Cards 2 года назад +2

    I hope you take the time to read this...It could help you...it helped me...This may not be a popular sentiment, but I come from an environment where several family members have been diagnosed with depression/anxiety/bi-polar, etc. where I've had to help (by listening, being supportive emotionally, financially, etc.). I think taking anti-depressants should be a last resort. It never solves the problem, it only masks it. One of the first things you should do is the most overlooked. It is the realization that most people have total control of how they feel. It may seem funny, but I realized this after really listening to the old song by Sister Hazel (Change Your Mind). The entire song lyrics are fitting to your situation, but a couple lines really bring it home...
    "If you want to be somebody else,
    If you're tired of fighting battles with yourself
    If you want to be somebody else
    Change your mind"
    It really is that simple. It may not work for some of course who have severe issues. But, if you really believe you have this power, it really is the first solution you should exercise. But, you have to commit to it. You can't say, "Ok...I'll try". No, you have to just do it. Your situation seems similar to my son's who would repeatedly say things like "nothing makes him happy". You have the power to decide if it makes you happy. Again, this process will not work if you don't believe it. I have been through many successes and failures, relational and financial hardships, and health related situations. I have been there when close family members passed on (some in horrible ways). I had many opportunities to cave in to depression, to give up, either on life, or on happiness. But I simply decided not to. Of course there were times when I allowed myself "moments" such as when my mom passed away rather unexpectedly. I allowed myself the moment, but then "changed my mind". Now, I choose to only remember the good times as wonderful memories that bring a smile to may face. For example, my sister remembers the day she died every year. I couldn't tell you the day she died but I remember her birthday. Also remember, EVERYONE can relate to you because EVERYONE has had their darkest hour. One's darkest hour should never be compared to another's. They are both equal in the eye of the beholder.
    I wish you well on your journey and I hope my message gets through to you. YOU control how your feel. YOU control the direction your journey takes you.

    • @earthyem
      @earthyem 2 года назад +1

      This is a nice sentiment, but saying "it really is that simple" is just wrong. Depression is a mental illness. Your brain can have an illness just like the rest of your body can, and you can't just will that away with positive thinking.

    • @JerryGs-Cards
      @JerryGs-Cards 2 года назад

      @@earthyem Then, my solution is not for you. It has nothing to do with positive "thinking". You don't think or try to do it, you just do it. Won't work for everyone but it should be the first thing you do since it costs nothing. And, it does work. I've seen it work but, like I said, you need to believe it will work or it won't.

And anything that cannot fit has to be checked in. This was done not at checkin counter but literally at the boarding gate! They are budget but also incredibly opportunistic and more than a tad cruel with their policies. Super jialat.
