Depressed, please see a psychiatrist about this. Give it a chance. It could really help. And live in the moment. Sounds cheezy but there's truth to it. Try not to dwell too much on the past and just enjoy what you're doing now. I know this all sounds trite when you're depressed, but with some help from a doctor and some time, things will look up. There's light at the end of the tunnel. Please get help.

Take care,

Izzie

Depressive disorders make one feel exhausted, worthless, helpless, and hopeless. Such negative thoughts and feelings make some people feel like giving up. It is important to realize that these negative views are part of the depression and typically do not accurately reflect the actual circumstances. Negative thinking fades as treatment begins to take effect. In the meantime:

1. Set realistic goals in light of the depression and assume a reasonable amount of responsibility.

2. Break large tasks into small ones, set some priorities, and do what you can as you can.

3. Try to be with other people and to confide in someone; it is usually better than being alone and secretive.

4. Participate in activities that may make you feel better.

5. Mild exercise, going to a movie, a ballgame, or participating in religious, social, or other activities may help.

6. Expect your mood to improve gradually, not immediately. Feeling better takes time.

7. It is advisable to postpone important decisions until the depression has lifted.

8. People rarely "snap out of" a depression. But they can feel a little better day-by-day.

9. Remember, positive thinking will replace the negative thinking that is part of the depression and will disappear as your depression responds to treatment.

10. Let your friends help you.

smile,

I can tell he is far better today, right Depressed??

I totally agree with DaRuDe and Vinitha on the giving note. It is not good for you to keep victimizing yourself.

Thousands of people suffer from more pain and humiliation. You are still one of the luckiest to have a house, family, job, friends, health....no preaching buddy, just reflecting.

Before you go away for good Mr. Depressed

I got a couple of hints for you about mortality and suicide.

God put you in this earth for a GOOD PURPOSE not a bad one.

God will condemned you in HELL for taking your own life in Hell.

If you decided to commit suicide before your prescribed time death, them is your own fault. I will not have any pity for your soul or body.

Don't let the DEVIL fool you, that is everyone faults for your MISERY AND Death.

You will just BE another FOOL, a less mouth to feed, a statical number for the records and LIFE WILL CONTINUE FOR EVERYONE.

THE ONLY AFFECTED BY YOUR DEATH, ARE YOUR LOVE ONES AND NO ONE ELSE!

They will heal with time and forget you for good.

My advise to you GO TO BED and SLEEP IT OFF then MOVE ON WITH YOUR ISSUES.

Live on day at a time.

If you expect consul from me , there you GO! Your decision is yours and not mines!!

So I will hear from you sometime in the future, unless you are ALREADY dead.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery

None but ourselves can free our minds..

""after everything you have sacrificed and devoted to your family, things doesnt turn out as how you had expected it to be""

i agree with the above sentence written by jannat al houri

hello depressed,

i cant say better than what our friends have said here, but just i want to highlight and make you realize of something that, commiting a suicide is NOT gonna solve any problem, infect it will create more problems, and you will be leaving that problmes to your wife and children as your 'legacy'.

a problem will always be remains as problem until it is being solved. so if you want to overcome this problems,then you have to accumulate and untilize your strengths to tackle the problmes, NOT to make it as a reason to lose your hope and strengths.

one thing you need to have a faith in heart is: "God has promised to us that He wouldnt test His slave more than how much we can cope, for He is the Most merciful to His slave, than a mother to her son..." so why despair? perhaps,you should look up to people who are suffering and struggling in their life more worst than you, then hopefully, you will realize and be thankful with how much still better your situation actually is.

so try you best to tackle the problems in a professional way, and step by step. to me, you are not that depressed with your own slef, but you feel like- after everything you have sacrificed and devoted to your family, things doesnt turn out as how you had expected it to be. so this is when you give a way for the feeling of depression to affect you.

here, you are now married and you have wife and children, so just focus and do what is best for them. if your brothers and siaters,or mothers are not satisfied with you and your wife, then let them be...! in this life, we cannot afford to satisfy everyone's heart, so as a result there are partition of people: those who like us and those who dislike us. because the fact is, human heart cannot be satisfied forever, the more you do for them, the more they demand from you. they tend to stretch us beyound our level of elasticity. and they are just like diving in a salty sea, the deeper they dive, the more thirsty they become...

the thing is, you are too kind, so it makes you feel that you are the one who is guilty in this matter-thats why you are depressed. perhaps because of your kindness before, thats why they dare to step on your head now. but i guess thats enough! now, let them realise that you have limit and teach them not to overstep that border!

so try your best to overcome and adapt this problems in a realistic way. never lose your hope in striving for something, because who knows, if you are only one step close to the achievement, so never step back!!

if you wana die, die with DIGNITY, NOT by commiting suicide which resemble like a 'death animal'.....! apart from that, it is strictly forbidden in our religion.

---------------where there is friendship, there is NO 'hurt feelings':)--------------------

I will tell you why you felt better when you were alone. When family arrives to your apartment from home land, they come with all their problems and issues. When they were still in India, you did not live their daily quarrels, fights, arguments and problems.

So, they are sort of brought all the good and the bad with the luggage!! This is also another fact you have to accept.

Wait after I get with my family. I spend the first couple of days happy and nice. The fights and arguments start right on the third day until I leave or they leave..:)))))))))

This is why some people choose to escape and prefer to be away, even to another country, just to stay away from family troubles and issues.

Try to remember the good things between you and your family. I am sure not all your days are pitch dark black!! I am positive after a while of being ALONE, you would do miracles to have your family back with you.

What are the good things you miss and love to see when you are with your family??

You've got a family!! well get this, it is RARE to find a mother (like your mother) getting along well with her son's wife!! Even if she was the one who chose her for you. Still, this is very very very normal!

I am from Egypt, we have the same problem!! Mother in law..:)) we have 100000 of movies (drama and comedy) about this issue.

How do you want to commit suicide when you have a lovely wife and one baby and a half..:)) man!! aren't you just pampered!!

Do you want Qatar Living group to give and donate love, food and money to your babies??? They all need you “daddy”.

So, maybe you just need to talk to your mother and tell her how much you love and respect her. And that you love your wife is well.

It is ok if your mother needs a little extra amount of money, she deserves that, right??? She got you into this world and you owe her a lot. It would be very nice of you to buy her a small gift (without any occasion) to show her how much you appreciate her in your life.

Just take it easy and start smiling and thanking life for all the blessings you have now, deal???

And another request, would you please change your name on this forum "depressed". Funny that Happy Happy is taking to Depressed..:))we should not communicate in this first place. We are totally the opposite...change your name???

My friend,

If you think you are the only one who is alone and lonely in Doha, as we speak, you're quite mistaken!!!

Many people out there, in Doha and elsewhere, are bread winners and supporting their families, who are residing on the other side of the planet. It is enough that you are blessed with good health and able to work, make money and write to us on Qatar Living. How many lucky people are blessed with those things and more.

Obviously you're a strong person and people can depend and rely on you.

I know there are times where one feels so down and all charged up to do something crazy to break free of the boredom, but suicide is not the solution.

You said you have your brother here in Doha, you are so very lucky!! Someone else is sitting so lonely and cannot even have access to a computer to make friends online or to communicate with their loved ones. You have all that.

By the way, sometime when the weather is super hot, one feels as if trapped with no where to go to. Like I cannot walk now on the Cornich, as I am always used to. I cannot play tennis!! I truly fell like a huge rigid log!!! which makes me so unhappy, but I am certainly not thinking of suicide.

My life is so precious to me..:)) It is a gift from the Creator that I cannot help but accept and thank Him for it.

Tell us about your interests in life. How do you spend your time?. Do you have any friends at all here in Doha?

they doesnt care bout me, my mother does not want to stay with me, coz my brother is financially better than me, i always respect my mother, i was always obedient to her, i never disappointed her, i did whatever she asked for, i dont know what else to write

ok, what you did to your family is noble and NOT stupid, you have to feel proud of your self and not depressed..most of other persons in your place would have ran away instead of holding the responsiblity as you did. You achieved something most people cant achieve, I am the same age as yours and I ran to my family whining and crying whenever I face any problem

honey, in order to help you we need to know more about your problem...why do you feel so depressed, is it a certain problem that you are facing right now (your family situation for example), or you have been feeling like that for a long time for no good reason...also how old are you, if I may ask
