Nadepress ka na ba? Ano yung feeling? Paano ka naka-bouce back?

[gandydancer123]

Depression...

As artists, and musicians..we are very prone to this "mental state"...many use it as a source of creativity...but many also succumb to its destructive wrath...

problems with family, school, relationships, health, finances etc...often mess up our emotions and the delicate chemical balance of our bodies thus making us feel depressed..blue...

There are SAD days and blue gloomy days...but sometimes...things can turn really bad..like there is no escape ..that your mind cannot function properly anymore..to the point a person becomes detached..alone..afraid and destructive..suicides.. nervous breakdowns often occur...

Kayo? nadepress ba kayo ng matindi? Paano kayo nakarecover? did drugs help? Alcohol? Did you suddenly join religious groups to find meaning? Did your friends help you? your wife or GF?..Kindly share your darkest hours so that more people can learn from them..

Just posted this on my FB wall a few days ago Rock bottom is good solid ground, and a dead end street is just a place to turn around. ngayon okay nanaman ako... Minsan talaga sad tayo...

Rock bottom is good solid ground, and a dead end street is just a place to turn around.

ganda nito ah! orig ba to?

hehehe oo pero may mga iba na talagang malalim na ang pagkalungkot...parang si DOng Abay..nagkulong sa kwarto niya for a year na nakatakip ng dyaryo mga bintana..wow..

[doksplata]

may mga ganitong days din ako. hindi mo maexplain sa iba.down ka pero hindi mo ma explain. I had some stupidity during my college days.(wag ko nalang i mention)

About FB status naman I have a particular status pag badtrip/sad/down/galit ako. "isumbat sa hangin"/ "sa panaghinip lang ako nakakatulog"
mejo more on perception management kasi yung work ko. Hindi pwedeng makita ng agents ko na baliw yung sup nila.hahaha

[AnalogKiD]

^ ganda nga... napulot ko lang yan sa google...

Pero pag ako na depressed ginagawa ko bumubuo ako ng bagong piyesa gaya nung last ako na depressed. 3 days akong hindi pumasok sa office (friday, saturday at monday) ginawa ko lang mag gitara whole day for 4 days straight tas nabuo ko yung El Ultimo Tremolo na na aabsorb nung kanta lahat ng depression ko... Tas OK na ulit ako... madami akong classical piece na nabuo ko dahil na dedepressed ako...

[gandydancer123]

for me..eto ang magandang combo to get your system back..at balansehin yung chemicals sa katawan...pero of coure it will require strong will power...

EXCERCISE+ B complex vitamins...iba talaga nadudulot yung physical activity sa pagflow ng mga fluids sa katawan..tsaka yung mga feel good hormones "endorphins"..kaya may nagiging gym addicts di ba?

pag di pa to tumalab..muhang you need psychological help na..

[spetsnaz1123]

stress is one of the main contributor to anxiety & depression...that's why everywhere I go I have to have a guitar with me and whenever I get stressed at worked or whatever, i just play my guitar when i get home...and voila! stress is busted 

But if everything else fails, prayers and reading the Bible will definitely help  .

[kurtcobainer]

Yes. I took Zoloft for about 3 months.

[Endshiftresign!]

yes.  and to be honest, i'm going through a depressed stage right now due to a variety of problems.  and most, if not all these things have helped me bounce back in the past...

1.  God
2.  the support system, meaning friends and family
3.  great music
4.  9GAG

[gnarly]

tinamaan na adin ako ng matinding depression. away pamilya that went unresolved until death took them, yan nag-trigger ng depression ko. pero in the end iniisip ko na lang ang mga anak ko at masyado pa silang bata para maulila sa ama.

my wife and my friend in the band were of great help during my darkest hours.

[sonikyut]

pag na-depress ako...minomolestya ko lang yung gitara ko..after nun ok na...at the same time pantanggal na din ng stress after work

..it works for me

[electronictokwa]

may mga ganitong days din ako. hindi mo maexplain sa iba.down ka pero hindi mo ma explain.

Eto medyo madalas sakin to., di ko rin ma explain madalas kung bakit. Sinusubukan ko isipin lahat ng nangyari before ako magkaganun, minsan nahahanap ko yung dahilan and nagagawan ng paraan, pero pag wala talaga., kinakalimutan ko nalang. Sabay pakinig ng classics hehe. Minsan pag hawak ko gitara may nagagawa pa akong licks pandagdag sa personal lick library ko. 

Tama si sir endshiftresign, malaking tulong din talaga ang support system like friends (lalo na kabanda) and family.

[gandydancer123]

2.  the support system, meaning friends and family

agreed...


pero yung hindi bigla ka yayain mag inuman or mag CLub na tropa ha? yung talagang heart to heart...ahahaha

[DiMarzSiao™]

pag na-depress ako...minomolestya ko lang yung gitara ko..after nun ok na...at the same time pantanggal na din ng stress after work

..it works for me

THIS...

pag hindi pa din ako ok., ang ginagawa ko ay...

sumakay ng Bus(provincial) then byahe lang., pag dating sa bus station ng kung anong lugar., rest saglit, kain., tingin-tingin, then... sakay ulit ng Bus pabalik naman...

repeat the process hanggang wala ka nang pamasahe... lolz..
sa ganitong paraan ako nakakapagisip ng maiige...

[gandydancer123]

This is awesome!!

I find it relaxing too taking the city busses to nowhere..I discover new things..find intersting places..dito kasi 2 yuan lang ang bus..minsan 1 yuan malayo-malapit..kaya ako ginagawa ko dulo to dulo..tapos sakay uli..bus stop system kaya madali ang systema..

Lalo ako naeexcite pag may nadadatnana akong MUSIC shop along the road..

Imagine kung maganda ang RailWay network natin noh? sarap lang magmuni muni sa train seeing the countryside of the Philippines..

at sana kung safe lang yung environment..para makapagdala ng DSLR along the way..

+1 Dimarzsiao! AWESOME!

[doksplata]

This is way before, prolly 6 years ago. It was my birthday, pumunta kong baywalk then sumigaw ako ng p*tanginanyonglahat! then uwi na.yung mga days na "unexplained" pa ako.

what do you mean by this?

[haha]

During these days of my life, eto ang mga nasandalan ko:

1. God
2.  Barkada(yung long lasting barkada ko. Childhood friends. Sila yun mga tipo ng tao na hindi naiilang magusap ng problema gaano man ka-awkward.)
3. Parents
4. Music/band
5. Your own self(Kung di mo kayang pasayahin or at least, hanapin ang magpapasaya sayo, Wala nang iba pang makakapagpasaya sayo.)
6. Big bang Theory
7. Wrestling
8. Video Games
9. Lucky me Pancit Canton
10. Writing
11. Yosi

Number 10 is very crucial. Dun ko lang nadiskubre na kaya kong magsulat ng mga bagay na may sense.. hahaha! As of now, I have 3 potential Stories. You see, uncertainty of tomorrow may pose a threat on your own mind, but on the other hand, it may make you excited as well.  That's how I managed to bounce back.



Yung sa drummer namen mas simple yung ginawa nya.. Eto:

1. Porn 
2. Bold 
3. Hentai 
4. Porn 
5. Porn 
6. Porn

[doksplata]

what do you mean by this?

nabasa ko to sa libro, eto yung term nila sa mga rebelde sa magulang, yung hinahanap mo pa yung personality mo. Lumayas ako plenty of times. nagtrabaho sa pabrika ng fishball, waiter sa mga catering services, crew sa fast food chain saka showband then nakikitira sa kaibigan. pasko at new year, sa ibang bahay ka nagigising, mga inaanak nila and kamag anak tapos magwowonder sila kung sino ako.hahah.eventually I've found my way and settled down with my dream girl.Phase lang pala yun.

kewl! good for you...


for a moment., i thought it was a "gender" thing...  lolz

[weedurpart2]

i went through several bouts of depression.

one time i locked myself in my room for days, didn't eat, didn't get out of bed, my parents had to force themselves in because they thought i was dead. my parents we're very good to me -- did everything they could to distract me and make me feel better. took me out without my brother or sisters, y'know, so i feel like im special and an only kid (they knew we all liked that once in a while. heh) and they got me to travel.

thats how i learned to deal with it -- maybe its wrong, but it works for me to just get away and have a change of scenery and people. i started doing that, when i start feeling symptoms of it, i move to another place. i just can't stand being in one place for a long time.

my boyfriend had a hard time with this, especially when we moved in together. so when i was away from my parents, and it struck again, and we were too broke to go anywhere -- he just made me work. i remember one time he literally forced me out of bed and sat me in front of a computer, completely ignoring the fact i was having my tantrums, and just said -- deadlines next week, this is the story, we need a draft by this date... then he bought me a shiitload of fudgee bars and cornetto while we "smoked" and watched Tosh.0
