I feel indifferent, dull, boring, life is passing me by, lose track of time easily, low confidence, just don't care, need sunlight, hate winter it's too dull, empty space. Huh?
I'm a college kid and when kids look at me in school they are starting to think that I am completely stupid. I have no reaction or expression. I'm usually very lively and sweet. Now I'm just acting. Inside I am anxious, uncomfortable, scared. Wake up feeling worried. Feel that I can't get myself together.
PLeaSe HeLP!!! I don't feel myself these days. What's wrong with me?
A man goes to a shop, picks up a beautiful cup and says "my god this cup is so beautiful" and suddenly the cup starts talking to the man. The cup starts saying "O man, I am beautiful right now, but what was the state of my being before the pot-maker made me a beautiful pot?
Before I was sheer mud and the pot-maker pulled me out of the mud from the mother earth and I felt why that pot-maker is so cruel, he has separated me from mother earth. I felt a tremendous pain. And the pot-maker said, "Just wait." Then he put me and churned me, when I was churned I felt so giddy, so painful, so stressful, I asked the pot-maker "Why are you so cruel?" the pot-maker said, "Just wait." Then he put me into a oven and heated me up, I felt completely burnt. There was tremendous pain and I asked the pot-maker "Why are you so cruel?" and the pot-maker said, "Just wait."
Then he poured hot paint on me and I felt the fume and the pain, I again asked the pot-maker "Why are you so cruel?" and the pot-maker said, "Just wait." Then again he put me into an oven and heated it to make me more strong, I felt life is so painful hence pleaded the pot-maker and the pot-maker said, "Just wait." And after that the pot-maker took me to the mirror and said, "Now look at yourself". And surprisingly I found myself so beautiful.
When god gives us lot of trouble, it appears god is very cruel but we need patience and we have to wait. When bad things happen to good people, they become better and not bitter.
So all difficulties are part of a cosmic design to make us really beautiful. We need patience, we need understanding, we need the commitment to go through in a very calm and wise way. So all difficulties are not to tumble us but to humble us.
With this understanding, let us not be against difficulty. Understand difficulty is a part of a purifying process. A purifying process at present which we cannot understand and hence we need faith and we need trust.
Let us understand how to handle stress with this background. You can be affected by stress from two angles. There is an internal stress and there is an external stress. Nobody can avoid stress; one has to only manage stress. Managing stress can be internal and also external.
The internal stress is; your thoughts can create stress, your values can create stress, and your beliefs can create stress, meaning thereby your stress is coming from your mind more from the outer world. Many people suffer not from heart attack - they suffer from thought-attack.
For example, when somebody says you are an idiot, we get so hurt, we get so victimised. My boss has called me an idiot and I am feeling tremendous pain. Now where does this stress come from? If my boss has called me an idiot, I have to ask myself "am I an idiot"?
If I am an idiot nothing to be upset about; and if I am not an idiot, then also nothing to be upset about! It is the perception of the boss. But why do we suffer from that stress? I suffer not because my boss has called me an idiot but because of the thought-attack.
I may say the boss has called me an idiot; therefore I am suffering? It is true that the words are unpleasant. But what hurts is the interpretation of the unpleasant word. The thought in me interprets. That is pain and therefore it becomes pain. Much of our stress is our mind interpreting it as pain. So we suffer from thought-attack more than heart attack.
Reply:i suffer from the same symptons and i was diagnosed with Major Deppressive Dissorder. so u may be suffering from depression. just make sure u get help becuz some days u can feel so low that u want to die. so i highly recommend u see somene for that okay:)
Reply:MAYBE YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING YOU REALLY TRULY DONT WANT TO BE DOING. MAYBE IT WOULD BE BEST TO LIGHTEN UP AND LEARN SOMETHING VIBRANT THAT YOU CAN USE TO TEACH OTHERS INCLUDING CHILDREN. TRAVEL MIGHT BE GOOD AFTER ACQUIRING A TEFL CERTIFICATE AND TEACHING ENGLISH WHEREVER YOU CHOOSE AROUND THE WORLD. THE CERTIFICATE TAKES JUST A FEW WEEKS ONLINE OR WHEREVER AND YOU CAN BE EMPLOYED BEFORE YOU FINISH THE COARSE. ALSO YOUR DIET IS IMPORTANT AND EXERCISE WALKING ETC. DRINKING PLAIN WATER AND TAKING VITAMINS WITH YOUR FOOD IS IMPORTANT. THINK ABOUT YOUR WELL-BEING AND STUDY SOMETHAT MAKES YOU FEEL SUPER GREAT ABOUT YOURSELF AND OTHERS BECAUSE THEY LEARNED FROM YOU. THEN YOU'VE ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING.
Reply:You have depression go and see a doctor and they will prescribe you meds for it. dont worry your not the only one in America going throe it..study has showed that everyone experiences depression 2-3 times a month basis, it is just a natural reaction to all the stress. a doctor can help you.
Good Luck!!!!
Reply:Sounds like depression. Get a light bulb that gives off UV light. Like the kind a person would get for a tank that has a turtle or a lizzard. They need to bask in the sunlight. People need sunlight as well. Hang around happy people. And if you smile a little more, the world will smile back at you. You'd be suprised what a positive attitude can do.
Reply:This sounds like depression. See your doctor as soon as you can.
Reply:hi
It sounds to me like you may have depression see a Dr as soon as possible you need help God bless
Reply:You are in college, so you do have a medical clinic to visit at your college, right? Go there, tell the doctor there exactly how you feel. You sound as if you are having depression and/or panic attacks. This is NOT unusual for all the stress you are under to perform well. You are doing what I did when I first started to have panic attacks........you are using what I call, "showtime" smiles to get through the days and nights around people. This is horrible to endure. You ARE not yourself at this time. Are you eating properly? I really encourage you to go to Public Health or your clinic, your mental health place.............where ever you feel MOST comfortable, and talk this out with the professionals who can take tests, talk to you, and see if you need a little bit of medicines to get through this. What ever you do, do not let it ride, and just think it will go away.( Been there) Before you go to a doctor, ask yourself questions such as WHEN did this start? Am I having black out type amnesia? Seriously, it seems that you would know if you had amnesia, wouldn't it? I had it for years before it was diagnosed. In fact, when it was first diagnosed, I laughed at them! Then, one day, I realized I'd lost 3 days! Just gone! Then, it happened more often and more often. I had a lot of counseling, read every book I COULD find that doctors write for doctors on this condition, and was able to get it together. It's very important that you help yourself, now. Going to mental health is NOT anything to feel badly about. Be glad it is there for all of us who do need it!
Reply:You might be in th early stages of depression.
Some symptoms of depression:
frequent sadness or irritability
decreased energy
decreased interest in usual activities
decreased or increased appetite
difficulty with sleep (sometimes too much or not enough)
lack of concentration (decline in school grades)
Some of what you may be feeling can be normal. and it might just be stress from college overload. Sometimes though, you may have sad feeling for a longer period of time.
If you are feeling down, you really need to talk to someone about this, like your parents, doctor, school nurse or school counselor. If you are depressed, you may need to speak to a therapist and your doctor can give you a referral.
be well!
