| i dont know what to do. i dont feel like doing anything with my future. i had always wanted to be a success at my profession. but i dont feel i have the energy to do it. i know i wont be a good housewife, cos i dont know how to cook and i dont feel like doing any house work. just thinking about it makes me tired. i am working these days, but i dont think i want to keep on doing it. what do i do? why do i feel this way. what am i going to do with my life if i feel like this. nothing excites me in life anymore. i'm just living my life for the moment. hour to hour. how do i make decisions about my life? i want others to make the decisions for me. does anybody understand what i'm saying? |

| Hi, I don't know who you are and I'm no doctor or counsiler. But a lot of what you are discribing sounds very much like depression. Some signs are, but not limited to Loss of appietite or over eatting Not able to sleep or sleeping to much Loss of interest in things, people and activities you once really enjoyed Crying a lot, and/or being angry, moody, etc Feeling worthless, and/or feeling hopeless There are a few more. So if you find you fit in some or many of theses, I hope you'll see your doctor and get help. There is also an over the counter herb called Saint Johns Wort. Can get it almost anywhere. But study about it first as the way it is manufactured makes a VERY big difference. It also takes a while to take effect, like a couple/few weeks. Just educate yourself before you do anything. Meds help while you figure out what is the main problem and work on lifestyle changes. Please remember, true depression DOES NOT MEAN you are mental, it is a true chemical imbalanced, cause by many things such a stress, etc. I hope this helps. If you would like any suggestions as to web sites, books, etc please private message me. I will keep it conifidential. Whatever route you decide to take I wish you well, and I'm here if you need someone to talk to. And remember..... SMILE :-* we on the board care. |

| assalamu alaikum i can understand how you are feeling, and i agree with the first post. u may find some helpful advice there. i think many of us go through periods of our life like this and sometimes it is about riding the waves and things will get better for you soon inshallah. about deciding about your future this takes time. it sounds like u need a change of scene perhaps when the weather is nice you could take a few days off and plan some fun things that u use to enjoy doing. small things. reading a book. visiting a friend. it depends on you. getting out doors may help. but perhaps try not to spend too much time on your own if that makes things worse. i'm sure you will make a good house wife. cooking tasty dishes that impress doesn't have to be hard work and can be enjoyable to do. mail me inshallah if you want some more help. all the best wa alaikum assalam yoursister |
