I know a handful of people actively working on their depression through various activities and consulting psychiatrists. The fact that they're working on it actively on their own has helped them overcome these. Of course there are still bouts.. but doing something about it is a nice first step.

Talking about teens in college and professionals in their 30s here.

naikwento lang sa akin recently.. they say the generation after Generation Me is a lot more sensitive,easily hurt emotionally, prone to depression and suicide. How true?

Generation probably got more sheltered and had wrong expectations against reality because of social media. Lack of guidance from elders too

I think yes, more prone to depression and suicide because the younger adults and teenagers and kids now have been much more exposed to social media then we ever were. Isipin nyo na lang kung nagfe-Facebook na tayo simula pagkabata.

Maybe also because we are more accepting, more open to the idea of these as actual illnesses, leading to more people reaching out to professionals, so more people are being diagnosed accurately? Hindi na "nag-iinarte/nagdadrama lang"

hmm, theory lang:

Gen X -- grew up without social media, really doesn't care

Gen Me -- got exposed to social media at an age where their identities and confidence have been developed

Gen ??? -- exposed to social media at a very young, impressionable age

classic symptom ng depression ung lethargy

and ung di makatulog o tulog nang tulog

I don't understand myself because I would be up until past midnight even if I take a cocktail of antihistamines. Valium wala na rin effect. And then when I finally fall asleep I would sleep until after 12 noon.

For the past few days I have no appetite. I would have my first first meal and drink of water past 3 pm. And then I will feel so hungry at night and binge eat

I'm gonna slowly kill myself with this lifestyle

Ilang days na elevated BP ko. I used to be 110/70 now it's always 120/90

I have to apologize to uls nga because even our friendship was affected by crush. Even my friendship with my officemates was affected. Even my relationship with my boss was affected. My boss was not used to me not giving him attention and even asked me if I was mad at him.

When crush and I were together kasi he was all I thought of. I stopped spending time and talking with my officemates (chat, phone, lunch, merienda and dinner) If I did go out with my friends, they would complain about me being there but not really present (because I am texting with crush the whole time)

I just could not get enough of crush because he gave me this sort of happiness that nobody else could give. And I also appreciate that he reciprocated this addiction I had with him.

And then when things came falling down I withdrew from people. It's a good thing matiyaga office friends ko, even if I did not tell any of them what my problem was, they tried to entertain me the best they can. I will never forget how during the first month ata na I lost crush, sinasamahan pa ko ng friends ko until parking lot sa car ko. They would always buy me food kasi ayoko kumain. Uls naman, he always has my back and I am thankful he was there for me in all my heartbreaks.

Maybe it hurts a lot because this is another failure of mine. I felt like I won the lottery when I had crush, finally, something was going right in my life. I have the man of my dreams. Check check check in my list. He was someone I would be so proud to introduce to my family and friends.

Crying as I type this. Don't want my officemates to see me

Getting some comments that mas mahirap daw makasakay ng jeepney ngayon, as most are hiding from the MMDA's inspection.
