  2. Dumaan din ako ng anxiety attacks at di mo maipaliwanag saan nangagagaling na feeling. Napapaisip ka na ano ba kinain mo or problemang malala?. Pray at deep breathing nakatulong sakin.

  11. Nag resigned ako sa work ko last year dahil sa sobrang lungkot na hindi ko alam saan nanggagaling, hindi ko alam kung depression ba ang tawag duon. Maliban duon, may iba pa akong pinagdadaanan leading to my resignation. Hanggang ngayon ganun padin ang situation ko maliban sa wala lang akong pressure na sa work dahil nga pinili kong huwag na munang mag work kasi nagsasuffer na din yung quality ng work ko. Ayaw ko sanang mag resign nuon kaso binabastos na ako ng boss ko by calling me names. Wala syang alam kya di ko sya masisi. Work is work. Nag resigned ako telling him dahil sa depression. He accepted my resignation immediately. Sa ngayon kinakaya ko ang situation ko. Ayaw ko ng attention. Ayaw ko sa mga gatherings. Ayoko ng kahit na anong mga tanong. Simpling how are you ay napaka hirap sagutin. Mas lalong ayoko ng mga bagong mukha, mga strangers, para akong natutunaw sa gitna ng mga tao lalo kung mga unfamiliar faces. May isa akong ka work na lalaki na grabi kung maka bully sa akin. Di ko naman sya pinapansin. Wala din syang alam. Ilang taon na din ito. Sana bumalik na yung dating ako. Masigla. Healthy. Productive.

    2. I hope I am not intruding but would like to ask if you’ve been clinically diagnosed?

      Delete
    3. 7:32 Sana you can find someone who you can open up to para ma thresh out mo ang pinanggagalingan ng sobrang kalungkutan. It might also help if you can write about it, like in a journal?

    4. Anong nangyari bakit naging ganyan ang sitwasyon mo? Sana makatulong ako... sana maka recover ka...

    5. pwede ka muna hindi sana nagresign, there are resources available sa SSS na pwede ka magfile ng leave with pay as long as clinically diagnosed ka. Para sana you take a break and seek help. Mental illness needs to be treated po.

    6. 7.32 if may i ask, are you taking a med for something? Kasi ganito yong naranasan ko ng ilang buwan. Hindi lang lungkot, kundi pati ng low mood, low spirit, no motivation... Nabubuhay lang ako ng walang kagana-gana sa buhay tapos lagi pa akong bwisit na bwisit ng walang dahilan. Tumatawa ako pero hindi ko maramdaman yong happines... I used work to distract myself from feeling pissed all the time. And then one day i suffered itching/hives and i figured maybe its the med that I'm taking because i remembered my pharmacy changed my med to a different manufacturer. So when i found out that my pharmacy put me back to the original manufacturer i was on, i stopped this med and took that med instead. I felt fine since then until now. I dont feel the rage anymore and i think im back to my normal self. So if you're taking a medication for something maybe your med is the cause? I hope you feel better soon.

  13. I am clinically diagnos with anxiety been to E.R na dahil nagfe-freeze na mga kamay at paa ko nagtwiching na and Hindi ako makahinga na para kang aatakihin sa puso. Yung madaling araw na pero hindi ka pa rin makatulog. Hugs to you, Pepe. Try mo rin magpa araw kahit 30 minutes lang everyday malaking tulong yan sa akin at bcomplex supplement. Now, nakakatulog na ako ng maayos like 6-7 hrs na. And manageable na ang anxiety ko if natrigger siya as in mild nalang. I always listen to worship songs and watch online mass.

  15. I’ve read a book on depression by Johann Hari and he said that “You aren’t a machine with broken parts. You are a human being with unmet needs”.
