Like any1 on earth, behind my usual smiling outlook... i do sometimes and not often get depressed over small issues...
to keep myself feeling being positive, i would always think in this manner. sum up the entire set of problems dat i would encounter in my lifetime divide it by the sum of problems everyone else on earth, then it would be very close to zero.... same goes to my knowledge too... after the division, it would be close to zero...
or i would look at the stars on the sky, to relax my mind... stars r massive bodies but yet they were nothing but a dot on the galaxy... they r so beautiful, but yet they will end up being a black hole... & if u r lucky, u might see a shooting star... my highest record was to see 4 shooting stars within 3hours...
if i am really tired and have the luxury of time, i could really sleep for hours...
i do know some people have other methods to stay positive... eg by comparing their situation with some1 who is in a worse condition. This will make themselves feel better... this method is out of my practice coz i couldn't get pass my consciences for doing this...
The top 4 things dat can really depress me (ranking from most top least): 1) Love 2) Moral values 3) Money 4) External factors
Love is indeed a death trap for many ppl... so many famous ppl in history has lost alot of things (empire, title, money, reputation & own life etc) over love... Yet love can be a wonderful thing... i guess ppl who control their emotions well will triumph over love...
For myself, I am still a loser to love at the moment... to me, love is like a dream... once u wake up... u will find urself no longer in love anymore... then u will need to go back to dream again soon... it is always my habit dat i would choose to step out of love once i know dat i am in the wrong field...
Moral values set by myself usually prick me less deeply than love but it happens more frequently... every actions we all do...(eg telling a lie, hurting some1 or falling in love with the wrong person etc...) i would review it with my own moral values... this is called the "3-mirrors" in Confucianism... to review myself, others and surroundings... using the past & present experiences to manage my future... setting directions right by the start of each day.... then review at the end of it...
Money... the root of evil & greed grows on money... i always set aside a sum of money to prepare for rainy days from each payroll... the surplus will be spent to indulge myself... this factor has not been a major problem to me since i cleared off my bank loan for my tertiary loans...
External factors... in fact, they work internal for all of us... they exist as food or drinks... i would call them as drugs... stimulants or depressants... Chocolates (Stimulant)... like sweets, it can make us happy... i have tried to consume alot of chocolates in a day before, then the next day without it... i felt like a part of me is missing... so moderate consumption should be fine... btw, it is also an anti-oxidant, it can help to slow down aging process... Alcohol (Depressant)... it can make people high and happy, but if u sleep over it... u might get hangover (headaches or stirring stomach). Also imagine u last rmb dat u were at the top of the world last night, then u woke up seeing urself back to ground level. This feeling do suck, making a person lifeless... Depressants would slow down some body functions of the body. On a severe case, it will give suicidal thoughts to the consumers...
if i ever see me walking out of u, dun be too shocked or surprised... i just need the time to sort myself out... but if it is period longer than 2-3days, it is either i 4got abt u (Ooops~!) or i am trying to avoid u (this means u haf hit on at least 2 of the toplist dat will taunt me)... i guess this is me all along...
i always feel dat depression is the 1 of the fuel for anger... so isolation would be the best approach for myself... b4 i do anything dat i would regret after that...
