      Early onset chronic disease is on the rise and will present enormous challenges to a persons ability to contribute meaningfully so as to feel good about themselves. Inflation increasingly threatens more people with the threat of denial of access to the necessities of life. The solution would be to leverage technology especially AI directed robotic technologies to bring down inflation by increasing productivity creating greater supply vs demand. That would be a start, but there would also need to be other strategies included in a comprehensive solution/blueprint, but science is key.

      Hi. I just want to let you know something. Although I have already graduated from secondary school in 2022, Whenever I think back about my secondary school life in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, it made me feel more and more depressed and cringe and I will cry a lot thinking about it. The Year 2020 that I spent in secondary school just changed me a lot in a terrible way because of a friendship problem that I have with someone in school where this friend psychologically changes the way I think of how I communicate with people in a very wrong way and a very terrible way as well and because of that, it becomes a regular habit of mine and it both negatively affected and badly affected my relationships with people like my teachers and my friends in 2021, 2022 and 2023 which therefore made me feel very depressed, cringe and cry a lot. My secondary school is a place that I will never ever go back to and revisit for the rest of my whole entire life. I am planning to tell this to my friend, Garren who is a Singapore Polytechnic Alumni about this comment that I have just written the next time when I meet him in real life and in person which is next week and I really hope that he can understand it.

      She appear fine to everyone but when i got home, her mum call to ask if she us with us. Everyone went out to look for her. She actually jump down from the top level of the block near by her house. I really regret i didn't accompany her 24/7 or at least send her home that day.

      When we have unprecedented numbers of people with early onset chronic disease due to atrocious diets & a sedentary lifestyle it is no surprise that mental health is compromised. Healthy body healthy mind. Additionally we have way too many people allowing others speech to control & manipulate them into relinquishing their joy & happiness in life, colloquially referred to as choosing to 'taking offense', a sad reflection of a lose of wisdom in society borne of NOT nurturing values such as love, compassion, service & kindness...

    The waiting time to see a specialist especially for mental health issues is really a big problem. I had really bad insomnia that lasted for almost 7 months before I finally took the courage to see a doctor at a polyclinic. The closest consultation they could arrange for me was 3 months later and I was already breaking down from the lack of sleep for so many months. It really made me despair that help was so far away.

    I have a friend who has major depression, however I feel negatively impacted by her condition too. She constantly makes plans with me and cancels last minute without giving reason or she tells me she is going to hang out with someone else. Then she blames her condition for not following up on plans with me. She takes me as an emotional dump for her negative emotions (e.g., sends me pictures of her self-harm; talks to me rudely) and causes me to be emotionally overwhelmed myself. She can block me on social media but I can't block her because if I do so, she breaks down like crazy. Going through emotional episodes with this friend opened up my past mental wounds. Now, she completely ghosts me and while I used to hear her problems, she is not there to hear my problems when she is the one who caused me to remember my bad memories. Any advice on how to deal with such a friend? While I empathise and sympathise with her condition, I don't feel deserved to be treated this way as it also affects my mental health.

  • @hannah5245
    @hannah5245 10 месяцев назад +2

    There is also no one-size-fits-all answer to depression. First thing is never TELL the person "not to ... ". And also to not speak when all we need do is attend to the individual's emotional need. Attending to means just give positive regard with a calming body language, appropriate eye contact, don't smile, . It gives the wrong impression that you the listener already figured out everything and you have the 'right answer' to the person's condition. Empathic listening is helpful. No quick responses. Sometimes, it takes humility to say "I hear a great deal of pain .... and I'm wondering what you need from me right now that will be helpful for you to hear" . Never hurry the person while he/she is sharing, especially when they seem to be allowing the painful feelings to emerge. You need to allow that painful feeling to come up/out of the person's system. This may take more than a few seconds of just mindful observing. You will know this episode of tearing is over when they wipe their tears and start to say something else or change to another topic. Pls don't hold your breath because you are afraid you don't know what to do. Breathe normally. Perhaps at the end you may say, "I'm sure you have suffered much. And I'm sure you can't solve all your problems all at once. But you can be assured you will see a little light at the end of today. You might want to speak again to me or to any other person you choose or I can give you names/contacts of places you can get emotional help from. You are not alone."

    Depression, casused by many factors, is the matter of brain, mind and energy. Black aura was observed by a psychic on a person suffered from depression. A healer revealed in her book that in the head of depressed person the energy caved in. Another healer revealed the malfunction of certain chakras. All these have to be dealed with, beside the medical treatments for the chemical inbalance, to obtain a best outcome.

    “It is only through inner peace that we can find true outer freedom.” -Enlightened master Sri Chinmoy.
    The material world is just a shell, nothing more than an empty shell. Inside this shell is the substance. Most of the time, this shell is empty from within.
    Without peace, life is empty. But we kept thinking we need to satisfy our desires to be happy. We are wrong. Time and time again, we are reminded. But we dunno where to find the answer. Nobody taught us in schools.
    LKY was also depressed when his spouse passed away. He found solence in meditation. at one point, he even said that students could learn meditation in schols.
    We often overlook the importance of spiritual health. We think if the material is fulfilled, everything is good to go. Time and time we are remained that we are wrong.
    Yet we keep ignoring the fact. We are taking spiritual well being for granted. But when will we ever learn?
    “If you can’t find peace in your heart,
    You can’t find it anywhere in the world”.

She actually assume just because coco is a celebrity thus she can afford to hire the best doctors to treat her so her death is not suicide but her ex husband trying to kill her.
    Well not judging that particular women but it is a fact that there are people exist who assume just because someone is beautiful or rich or is celebrities thus they won't have sucide thoughts or mental health.

    The Health Minister is the highest paid in the world for a rather small population.I don't get why he is unable to come up with a solution to bring down the numbers.
    To be honest, really expecting some exceptional genius strategies to address this critical issue.PAP policy where many cant retire with respect plays a big part for older folks which will become a bigger problem in the future.

      *_"exceptional genius strategies"_* Increasingly due to economic pressures resulting in increasing numbers feeling threatened with denial of access to the necessities of life we will see compromised mental health together with scapegoating & the arousing of divisive tribal tendencies, not good for harmonious diverse societies. The solution would be to leverage technology especially AI directed robotic technologies to bring down inflation by increasing productivity creating greater supply vs demand. That would be a start, but there would also need to be other strategies included in a comprehensive solution/blueprint, but science is key.

      Health Minister, in late 2021, foolishly ordered people not be permitted to go to work if they fail to comply to vaccine requirement even though increasingly it was becoming obvious the vaccines does not stop infection. He literally destroyed their livelihoods putting strain on their mental health. Coercing people to inject experimental concoctions into their own bodies even they if don't want to. This Health Minister is clueless on how to improve people's health. Had never been a health professional. Shuttled from ministry to ministry....basically on the job training all the while yet paid million dollar salary. An absolute disaster.

    Coco Lee had depression for years. She was rich, famous and would have access to the best experts in the world to help her. Her family knew of her struggles. It makes me wonder...if such a wealthy person cannot be saved, what about those who are suffering on their own, trapped within their own world of suffering?
    It reminds me of Leslie Chung who jumped to his death from the Mandarin Oriental in HK on April 1, 2003. Young, famous, rich and yet trapped in his world of depression. Was he suffering in silence? Did he reach out for help? Was he given help?

      This tells us depression can happen to anyone. Status, wealth, even with mental health knowledge, it still can.
      Support system can be in place, best care provided, but, nobody can truly monitor or supervise someone forever 24/7.
      Families and caregivers must have tried their best but the individual chooses his or her own path.
      Unless u keep that person in a cell with round the clock monitoring, for someone who is bent on dying, how can anyone stop them?
      Rip coco Lee. May all suffering from depression find light soon.

    An ideal piece of life would be to live and die well. More than 90% of the time, those who seemed to have to lived well, died badly at the very last moments including the so called religious ones. Not to mention the worse ones that took their own before their relative physical expiry. So, what is living or dying well? Perhaps it’s time to open your minds to people who we thought had manic depression eg, tsem tulku rinpoche, eckhart tolle, osho, sadhguru, Suzanne Chan, nargis Alegria and thankfully the list will go on from here. Take your pick, or down all of them. Good luck
