Temat: cos you had a bad day
I'm going to discuss this with my shrink. I get free psychological advice from him and have learned a lot about different aspects of human behavior during the past couple months.In general, I have a feeling that depression is something rooted in our subconscious, and we probably need a bout of mild depression from time to time to prevent us from doing too much, and being too busy. It manifests itself as fatigue and a general feeling of laziness, almost like a flu; but you quickly get back to "normal". The problem is, we no longer appreciate it, and when it gets us, we tend to try living at the same fast pace, which results in prolonged stress, and a deeper depression.
There is, of course, depression caused by OCDs, depression related to a specific event (giving birth to a child), and our favorite "winter depression", but I think if we learned to look more closely at what are bodies are trying to tell us, we would all be better off.
I haven't yet managed to do so...

What do you think about an opinion that the number of people in depression is always approximately the same, no matter the time?Reasons for being depressed are different for different ages. e.g.
During wartime you're feeling sad because a member of you family was killed on a front. In the Middle Ages many people were in depression because they were servants without any chance for freedom for the rest of their lives. During communism poeple's property was confiscated by the State. Now people are depressed because they overloaded with work obligations or lost a lot of money in stock market.
Do you think there will always be a good reason for feeling depressed not matter the time and current situation?

I think we have more things to be angry and depressed about these days, not because the world has gone mad, but because due to the free flow of information we get bombarded with images and news regarding all the horrible things that are happening world wide and even if we pretend or really feel that we don’t care, we still on the subconscious level are well aware of all of it. Also, we have become more aware of the fact that our world and spiritual leaders have failed and keep failing us miserably. (IMHO)

This isn't quite true, e.g. at wartime people tend to be more disciplined and oriented at survival, which makes them stop thinking about their 'daily blues'. Even though they see death on a daily basis, they get desensitised to it and move on, pertty much like an injured soldier can initially be unaware of his own pain, only after a while he realises what happened. The number of depressed people is significantly lower during wars, which has been well documented. However, the funny thing is that once the war is over, there's a massive outburst of suicides. As if people kept on striving to survive only to take their own life later...

Sylvia well said. Many survivors of the some of the worst atrocities in human history ie the concentration camps those who lived through unspeakable cruelty upon finding freedom ended up committing suicide. War galvanizes people,they share a common purpose,a common goal and a willingness to sacrifice their own personal comforts. However our generation are nowhere near as strong mentally and emotionally as the generation that proceeded us. I believe as Rafal pointed out that the complete saturation of information and its role in our lifes has caused us to feel more helpless,more alone,more in need of comfort. We have become increasingly selfish,materialistic,and I believe this contributes in the long run to the human race feeling less happy and less fufilled.

I like the way you've put it: war galvanizes people.Sometimes I think well-being is not what nature had in mind when created the world and us: such people tend to be self-complacent and lazy. They have no motivation to change anything. They don't need to fight for anything, everything's provided. So, in order to overcome this unnatural state of inertia, they take action by fighting for things they don't need, eating too much, destroying theyr families, etc. until their sense of wellbeing is destroyed. And people regain their meaning of life: they have to get a grip and put themselves together.

Temat: cos you had a bad day
I think it might be summarised in this way:People need focus and purpose in their life within the framework of a community. Ironically, war provides all of the above.
What undermines focus and purpose are, amonst others, mind-numbing jobs. There is a theory that boredom became a concept once people shifted from hunter gatherers to farmers. They shifed from the focus and purpose of gathering fruit for the day and hunting a wild boar and then having to make a fire etc... this shifted into the monotony of watching crops grow only to be wiped out by the forces of nature. I feel this lead to a sense of futility, a sense of futility which is now felt by almost everyone at some stage of their life.
Religion briefly replaces the sense of futility and transformed it into a noble cross for us all to bear. Now this is also eroding from us.
The fact of the matter is that life is pointless in most cases. You go to work, do some mind-crushing job and live for the weekend. The weekend comes and goes and what's the point in it all? An endless cycle sets in of meaningless work, meaningless TV shows, bladdered at the weekend and it all starts again, briefly interrupted by the onset of a family who will in turn join in the cycle.
I've just totally lost my train of thought and have no idea how to conclude what I was writing! :)

That is indeed the traditional way of looking at things. However, my personal approach is to try to think outside of the weekend box and have a bloody excellent Monday as well. Happy Mondays, as it were.

I think the term depression is kind of fashionable and used carelessly.It's a luxury to announce you're depressed and getting everyone around to cheer you up (like I do sometimes, though I'd avoid the word 'depression').
Having a bad day is not depression for a start.
We've had a few discussions on that.
Slavic people seem to have a trait of sadness within... At least I do...

I hate Sundays more than Mondays. Sundays is a day that promises to bring in Monday but Monday is the day that you have finally accepted that it has arrived and its not so bad. Scientists have discovered a cure for the dreaded Monday morning blues - stop sleeping in on weekends.A new study has found that lazy Saturday and Sunday lie-ins can disturb your body clock, leaving you fatigued at the start of the week. Sleep-ins are actually putting your body out of whack enough to change your Sunday night bedtime and set you up for Monday blues.

This isn't true for me. There's nothing I enjoy more than a lazy Saturday, staying in bed till 11, and having coffee served in bed; followed by a lazy day - meaning nothing to do but a walk, meeting friends, going to the movies, or doing some sports, and playing with my son in the park.To me, it's like recharging my batteries - but then again, my weekdays are quite lazy anyway.

We're in the same boat here... I really don't like Sundays, it's like a tease, you sort of have it off, but by the time you finish cooking, cleaning up and playing with kids, it's time to go to sleep and... well... you know what comes up next.

You so suck right now... (I do the park thing at 8 / 9am... but then... )

Raf, for most of the week (and month) I'm a regular mother, who needs to make a living, too. When my son is sick (like he has been in the past THREE WEEKS), I have to work, take care of him, and still be a full-time mom who cooks, cleans, etc. Having an occasional weekend of luxury is something I feel I deserve.So, if someone's going to be a babysitter, it's you :D
I'm glad I have a child who gladly spends a weekend with his grandparents and causes no trouble other than being ill a bit too often (September through June).

I need a very good reason to be depressed.My serious list is like dis:
1- Health related serious problems
When they find a tumor in your brain, it is difficult to concentrate on other things
2- Family/marriage related problems
Feelings and thoughts are sometimes too complicated to explain. One might even not know what she/he wants.
3- Financial problems
Less of a problem, can become a problem when you start to have troubles paying the bills, or you need to sell something in order to survive.
The rest (even the listed 3) has always been solved in my life somehow, and I don't worry about the other things.
I can say I'm hardly ever depressed.ilter K. edytował(a) ten post dnia 21.10.08 o godzinie 17:30
