Answer 2

Depression has many different symptoms, but some of the most common are: sleeping too much/not enough; change in eating patterns; feeling of hopelessness or ambivalence; you don't enjoy the things you used to; feeling lethargic; feeling irritable or angry alot of the time, for no reason; you think alot about things that have gone wrong, or will go wrong; social activity is difficult or you avoid it; a feeling of anxiety; and many others.

It's important if you or anyone else is feeling this way that you get help. When you're depressed the hardest thing to do is reach out because you feel like you don't deserve the help, or it's too much work, or you're ashamed to admit how you feel. Reach out-there will be someone, somewhere who will listen, even if it's just a phone call to the local crisis line.

Answer 3

you will feel listless, possibly achy, sleep a lot, or possibly not sleep well at all. Things will be very difficult for you to do. No get up and go. No fun. you feel down. Don't want to do anything. Even writing a check can become a major chore. you do not wish to speak to anyone. You feel that you are in mental pain.
See a doctor to make sure you are OK. There are many drugs you can take to help you feel better.

Answer 4

I felt like I was wrapped in a blanket, so I couldn't feel anything the way I should. I finally sought help when my husband suggested we go to Paris for christmas and I didn't want to.

I still don't want to go to Paris, but have done lots of other stuff I wouldn't have done if I hadn't dealt with the depression.

Answer 6

Held back hurt leads to unexpressed anger, which leads to guilt, and depression is the exhaustion of living with guilt. You have to admit your hurts, and express your anger, as it happens, to those who hurt you, so it doesn't build up into anger. And forgive others by accepting partial blame, while forgiving yourself because only a good person feels bad when they hurt someone.

Answer 7

Wickedness, injustice, grief, pessimism, trouble, loneliness, fear, stress, frustration, distrust, unscrupulousness, anxiety, rage, jealousy, resentment, drug addiction, immorality, gambling, prostitution, hunger, poverty, social corruption, theft, war, struggle, violence, oppression, fear of death… News about these issues appear in the newspapers and on TV every day. The popular press devotes entire pages to these subjects, while others serialise articles about their psychological and social aspects. However, our acquaintance with these feelings is not limited solely to the press; in daily life, we, too, frequently come across such problems and, more importantly, personally experience them.
People and societies endeavour to liberate themselves from the distressing experiences, disorder and repressive social structures that have prevailed over the world for long periods. We only need to glance at ancient Greece; the Great Roman Empire; Tsarist Russia, or the so-called Age of Enlightenment, and even the 20th century-a century of misery which saw two world wars and world-wide social disasters. No matter upon which century or location you concentrate your research, the picture will not be appreciably different.
If this is the case, why haven't people succeeded in solving these problems, or at least some efforts been made to remove such social diseases from society?
People have encountered these problems in all ages, yet each time they have failed to find any solutions because the methods they employed were inappropriate. They sought various solutions, tried different political systems, laid down impracticable and totalitarian rules, stirred up revolutions or subscribed to perverted ideologies, while many others preferred to adopt an indifferent attitude and merely accepted the status quo.
In our day, people are almost numbed by this way of living. They readily believe these problems to be "facts of life." They picture a society immune to these problems as being nothing short of impossible-a dream utopia. They persistently and openly express their distaste for such a way of living, yet easily embrace it, since they think they have no other alternative.
The resolution of all these problematic issues is possible only by living by the principles of the "true religion." Only when the values of true religion prevail can a pleasant and tranquil scene replace this gloomy and unfavourable picture, which is doomed to continue so long as God's limits are ignored. To put it another way, people are enslaved by these complications as long as they avoid the values of the Qur'an. Put simply, this is the "nightmare of disbeliefe" and the link below for this wonderful book:

you will find how the regulation of life by the "norms of morality" introduced by the Qur'an revealed to mankind by God will banish the "nightmare of disbelief," how pessimism, corruption and social restlessness can be eliminated from society, how the individual can surround himself with an ideal environment, what spiritual and material benefits he is likely to attain by adherence to these norms of morality are gone into in detail, and finally, that the unique alternative to all these problems is the morality of the Qur'an.
So far, many books have attempted to deal with the social and psychological problems societies face. Yet, what distinguishes this book from others is its stress on the most realistic solution. It also sincerely warns people against the troublesome future they are likely to face if they fail to resort to this solution.
We expect that every reader of conscience will grasp that peace, mutual trust and an ideal social life is attainable only by embracing the values of the Qur'an and will turn to the true religion, which is Islam.
They will then happily join the ranks of those who never suffer, mentally or physically, from any of the above-mentioned complications. Around them, there will always be an abundance of favours, comfort, love, respect, peace and confidence, and moral virtues will prevail. They will know how to earn God's approval, by observing His limits and the commandments of the Qur'an. They will thus, by having faith in God, attain His mercy and at last enter Paradise.
