depression

Depression is "an illness, that involves your body,your mood and your thoughts.Some people have different forms of depression,I may not know the different forms of depression but I have heard about it and that it is a very serious problem.16% of South African people suffer from depression.

As a teenager I also went through this,my mom fell ill and I did not know what I would do without her as a result of that I started too become sad and angry at myself. I suffered a lot because I did not talk to anyone about it because I was to scared to do so,I worried to much and bottled it up inside and became ill.I did not eat for days on end and my family members started to worry.They talked to me and told me that everything would be okay.

And in the end everything was fine,my mom is now happy and healthy and I'm happy now I got over my depression.Talk is the best!

DEPRESSION

I THINK THE WORD "DEPRESSION" MEAN TO HAVE LIKE BAD FEELINGS INSIDE YOUR HEART BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO SHARE YOUR FEELINGS WITH NO ONE, SO I THINK THATS DEPRESSION.

example: If like there is someone bothering you like at home, school or at church but you scared to tell people about this, i think that means you have depression.

Signs of depression: If like you don't want to go home, you afraid to go because maybe your dad or a family mamber is like raping you and you scared to tell people about this and at school your marks are decreasing or like you always weak or like not doing well at school and more, i think thats one of the signs of depression.

Depression

Depression affects ones daily living, firstly I feel depressed when I don't achieve a set goal. Failure to achieve the goal makes me feel that I'm useless, worthless,lazy and very emotional. When I am depressed I don't want to be around people, I prefer locking myself in my room and contemplating on what could have gone right or how can I improve the situation. I often become moody even the small things that would not "tick me off" on a normal day become a big issue when I am in "depressed mode". What I have discovered though is that laughter often lightens the load of depression, after a good laugh I usually feel better. I have never reached a point were I felt suicidal though. I also realized that when one feels depressed, the worse thing is to fill one's mind with negative thoughts.

So when feeling depressed try to laugh as much as possible, fill your mind with positive thoughts rather than negative ones and keep in mind that it always gets better with time.

depression

I was in a depression once by 2008 my aunt died and I couldn’t believe at that moment and the most thing that did affect me was that she died in front of me, and I couldn’t stop thinking about. But my parents tried to get me over it, it was so sad, and that anger because of I couldn’t do anything to help her, and I was always crying, always angry with people around me, it was so difficult for me to just get over it and move on, and the worse thing is that I was always dreaming about her too until I get born again, and I get so closer with church, and I kept on reading bible and then I saw some story which did comfort me, and I just remember that I am not alone I’m with god, that was it.

A person who is going through depression is not aware at the early stages that they are going through depression or they are in denial or they are not educated about depression. therefore people have to understand that depression is triggered by specific events or issues.

depression

Depression is an illness that involves your body,your mood and your thoughts.When you depressed you usually feel sad.

As a teenager I have been through this before,for some time my family went through personal issues and this really depressed me.As a result I avoided my friends and I always wanted to be alone.This caused me not to eat for some time.Eventually I thought that doing all these things was not gonna help me so I talked to my sister in law. She encouraged me and after a few weeks I was back to my old self.

Talking to someone really helps because bottling up your problem only makes things worse.

Depression for me is when a person is down feels like doing nothing.Depression is caused by maybe you were raped,and you didn't let your parents know.Treatment for depression is maybe a person could talk to someone ,you trust or go for cuonsilling.Signs for depression are as follow feeling sleepy,always eating,lost of interest in hobbies.

Depression/Anxiety and Substance Abuse the Illness and addiction people experience these days.

Today i had the opportunity to attend a work shop involving Depression/Anxiety and Substance Abuse Hosted by SADAG which means The South African Depression and Anxiety Group.

A little group of 15 people gathered inside the Noluthando hall to attend the work shop. The talk started off by telling us more about SADAG involves and how SADAG can assist when help is needed for the community all contact numbers and Sms free of charge.

The first talk given was by Thandiswa talking about Depression and how depression effects society and how ill Depression could make a person when effected by this Illness. SADAG does a lot of workshops especially at schools cause they found most suicides comes from Depression,usually between the ages of 12-18 years.

DEPRESSION can be cured she said all we need to do is to rise awareness,depression involves your body,your moods and your thoughts. It affects the way you eat and sleep the way you think about things in the world. Depression is not the same as ordinary everyday blues or sadness that we feel sometimes,it is not a sign of weakness and it cannot be wished away. People with depression cannot just pull themselves together and get better.

Thandiswa told us then that there are two Illness Systems of DEPRESSION -Moodiness and Tiredness. Moodiness that means that they are overly excited or manic feelings and behavior which could also be called Bipolar Disorder. Sometimes the mood changes happen fast,but most often they happen slowly over a few days or weeks. Another sign of Depression is Tiredness meaning feeling tired the whole and just bot in the mood to do anything. Some people may even have Insomnia which means they font sleep for Days.

She then went on discussing and asking us what are the systems of depression?A few answers from the attendees were:Sadness-most of the time feeling over anxious.

Loss of sleep which leads to insomnia

Losing weight by not eating or weight gain by over eating.

Less energy then usual tired all the time

Thoughts of death or suicide:suicide attempts

And Physical symptoms that don’t respond to treatment such as

headaches,stomach pain,back pain and so more.

Guilt Feeling what have I done to deserve this?

Thandiswa also informed us that Depression is treatable,assist were you can because knowledge is power empower yourself to learn more about depression. To treat depression,talk to people cause depression takes you away from people get professional help, get help from support systems like your church. Self help can help you cope better and last for a long time. A few tips were given to us on how to help yourself:Understand what depression is the more you know the better you will cope.

Do things to keep yourself busy your mind.

Avoid substances like smoking,drugs and alcohol.

These are only a few to mention about self help when it comes to depression. Depression is one of the most treatable mental illness and 8 out of 10 people get totally better.

The next talk we listen to was about Substance abuse presented by Mpumi it was a very good talk she told us all about substance abuse How it changes the way you feel and how it can change your life forever,because the more you use of it the more of a desire you have and cant stop yourself. The biggest abuse of substances these days are the usage of cigarettes and alcohol,because you end up using more then you suppose to.

Mpumi told us the serious effects of substance abuse to mentioned a few:Moodiness,sniffing non stop,smells. Selling your personal stuff to have monies to buy substances is another bad effect. Prostitution to have monies to satisfy your needs and many more bad effects that can effect your life and the outcome of it.

The only way to fight a bad habit is to have support,support from your church,family and also people surrounding you in your everyday life.

I found these talk very interesting and Im looking forward to spreading the word.

depressive work situations

I know it is not good to complain rather one should deal with the matter. What can then one do when you see the situation and you try to bring suggestions for the matter to be sorted out but all your attempts are in vain or fall to deaf ears?

All that I am trying to say is that you wake up early in the morning , eager to work at school or you open school from short September school holidays you again so refreshed eager to work, when you come to school photocopy machines are not working in such a big school like Mary Waters I mean that is frustrating and lead to depression. At our school we've got some few copy machines but the ones that are suppose to be used by the teachers are always not working.

There are many depressive issues many of us are still faced with overcrowded classes where you end up have to mark about +- 200 scripts and you still have to do other school work I mean no leisure time that is why some of us end up abusing alcohol but I do not encourage that. Teaching profession for some of us is a slave work I will never encourage my child to opt for it. No incentive, nothing that encourages teachers, to make things worse we are faced with learners that can do whatever they feel like doing, few have respect for the adults.

It is not like in the olden days, these are few things that I have mentioned there are a lot. Its depressing.

How to start a support group for Substance Abuse

What does the word Support group mean?It means people coming together with common problems,to learn and to educate. What is the basic principle of a support group?To listen to understand and to give everybody a chance to talk. Topics usually come from the group itself.

Why do support groups fail sometimes,because people are ashamed of attending the support group they are scared others will see them and then tease them about it or you don’t have enough funding to start up a support group,maybe have no monies to buy tea or coffee for the support group as a refreshments.

A little exercise can be played to break the ice before the support group starts the session. The exercise as follows: Introduce yourself by saying your name and what do you like then the next person introduces himself telling the group what he likes then he needs to repeat the persons name next to him and what he/she likes,this is a significant why to break the silence!

The dos and dont's of a support group:Dont's Never judge the people who joins the support group they are their for the same reason as you.

Never come to conclusions why this one or that one has joined the group everyone’s their for the same reasons. Never label people,you are in the same boat as them. Never force people to talk it wilt take one or two sessions before people in the group really starts opening up. Always announce the the rules of the group before you start your support session. Two types of groups are formed a open group were anyone can join and a closed group were you can only join when someones leaves the group.

The Do's-Educate yourself more about the topics been discussed in the group meeting so that you know what to deal with. You don’t have to do everything yourself get people to assist you.

When you start a support group take time to plan look for a venue like a church hall or school venue this is all voluntary no monies involved.

My thoughts on Depression

What does the word depression mean to me?Its described as feeling sad, blue, unhappy, miserable, or down in the dumps no urge for nothing,loss of appetite and just no love for life . Most of us feel this way at one time or another for short periods.

We all sometime in our lives experience this word called Depression sometimes it can be a severe depression were it feels like you could stick your head in a hole like a rabbit and never ever feel like emerging your head again from this hole in this case it means your depression is severe and it has started developing into a Illness. Most people who experience this type of depression needs treatment or therapy ASAP to prevent something serious of happening. The exact cause of the word called Depression is not known might even emerge from families were depression runs in the family. We often think that depression only develops in adult people but from my experience and what I got to know is can even happen to school going children from ages as young as 12 years old.”MMM”!!, now the question I’m asking do you always know what causes this word called depression?

A few things comes to mind that I think of and what I know of that may play a role in depression is drinking Alcohol or the usage of drugs by you or a family member that has reached a point were you feel there’s no turning back and it makes you feel seriously depressed. A very long term Illness like Cancer that you have experienced could also cause depression.

The most common cause of Depression could be a STRESSFUL life event such as,Break ups with a boyfriend or a girlfriend,divorcing your husband or wife. When it comes to school going children failing a grade it can make them Depressed which sometimes leads to suicide in most cases but not to often. Losing Someone that is close to you due to death or Illness could also lead to Depression.

When an adult male or female loses a job due to retrenchment or one of those cases it can cause depression.

Depression can change or distort the way you see yourself,and those around you People who have depression usually see everything with a more negative attitude, the way they do things the way they talk and the way they see things. They cannot imagine that any problem or situation can be solved in a positive way all they think of the whole time is NEGATIVE,NEGATIVE!!

You as a person can immediately pick up when a person suffers from Depression!A depressed person can become withdrawn or isolated from their friends and their loved ones they can also become irritable and moody causing unhappiness and a lot of sadness were ever, they go or what whatever they do. They simply feel tired the whole time and just want to sleep 247 which leads them to absolutely doing nothing which could also influence their school work if they are a learner or if they work full timely their work could also be influence which could lead to being fired or being dismissed. Some people feel hopeless and absolutely helpless like everything they do is a burden and a mountain on their shoulders they just lose hope in everything and everybody.

Depression is a Illness and its curable the only way to see the end of the light at a dark tunnel is to seek help ASAP. Help from a social worker,doctor,Church and even your family. Depression is a serious case don’t leave it for to long it might be to late get help when things really get bad!

Teenage Suicide the harsh reality!(Words taken from the SADAG suicide pamphlet)

Irritability or feeling angry a lot

eating to much or to little

spending a lot of time alone

1.understand what depression is so you know what you are dealing with

4.Break large tasks into small ones and do what you can. Be realistic and take one step at a time.

Suicide

Alcohol and Drug abuse-This is often connected to suicide. Alcohol and drugs can actually add to depression.

Risk factors-Some teens are more at risk for suicide if they have tried before

Their is family fights.

Make sure you are not alone

spend time with family and friends

what we discused as a group

we discused about the depression topic

as we were discussing about it we came across something that says "every one can get depressed" and we were very interested in the topic.
depression is caused by being under a lot of stain and thinking about things that will make you sad at end of the day..........

how to treat depression,, you can take a long break from everything that will lead you to depression and you can even treat it by seeing a therapist or talk to someone who you trust and can relay on(like your parents,siblings,teachers or your friends

when you are depressed you become so short tempered and you are always sad and you don't know what you do and you forget things you should do,

depression is so dangerous if you don't treat it very soon so we understood that if you get depressed you must get help as soon as possible.

You are not ALONE! Beat Depression...

I think when it comes to depression, everyone at some point in their lives will experience it, due to a loss of a family member, friend and someone very dear to you will shake up your life into realizing how much that person means to you and that their gone, those moments are gone. Depression i believe is a state of mind where one believes that their problems are just too much too handle and don't really know how to deal with their issues. Some people may even be depressed by school, first it starts of as stress and later increasing, into becoming depression where one may feel suicidal, not really 'care' about anything or anyone. This however is not a disease and can be cured as one of the special treatments that work is actually talking to someone about your problems, exercising, eating healthy and keeping an positive attitude. I've once been depressed and as much as I am over it, it's something i wouldn't want to share as sometimes it's better off leaving the sleeping dogs lie. Get help! as depression doesn't only affect you but others also around you.
