Tips for Depressed, Down People

At some point in our life, we have felt alone. There are times when all we want to do is Give up, Quit the fight and Stay quiet. But would that be too selfish? It surely is. Instead of wallowing in deep self-pity and feeling down and depress, there's much you can do. Here are some tips to do:

1. Pursue your Passion. Revisit what it is that you want in life. Teach the kids, educate young minds, do artistic craft, dance, sing and laugh. Whatever it is that make you happy, find time to do it. It doesn't matter that you are far from perfect execution, for as long as you love doing it. 

2. Surround yourself with Positive people. You may have been driving away good and close friends from your circle. You fought with your parents or family members. Go back to their arms, you certainly need a hug from family and friends. If they are your real family and friends, they would be willing to understand your pain and circumstances. Nothing is more comforting than being with the people you love. Comfort goes a long way.

3. Volunteer. Helping other less unfortunate and needy people is good for your health. Simple acts of kindness like giving gifts during holidays, visiting the sick and volunteering can positively impact your mood. You may also donate cash, food, belongings or other things worth sharing. The spirit of kindness should fill your heart.

4. Pray to someone Higher or something Bigger. You may not believe in a Supreme Being but it helps to believe in something "Divine". It makes you feel more surrounded and less alone. Praying, meditating and the like offers the same effect as taking drugs one study concludes. So believe more often.

5. Go out, take some risks and have fun. Life is not suppose to be perfect. Most of the time, we do not get what we want or things go roughly wayward. But that is life, it's just it is. Learn to accept things we can't change but also try changing the things we can. Sounds confusing. At some point do things outside your comfort zone. Sing loudly in public, dance crazy with the crowd, or visit a place you have never been to, etc. Just try doing different things to get out of boredom. Just have fun.

Living Life One Step at a Time

Where there times when you feel like you're not accomplishing something important? As if all the things that you are doing doesn't worked out as plan. Sometimes you wish to become triplet so that you can hit three stones at the same time in different places. But you are also aware that it's just not possible and crazy as it may sound, you are secretly hoping that Science will find a way to triplicate ourselves. In a time when 24-hours is simply not enough, having a clear focus is important. Prioritizing the most significant and urgent things in life is a great skill that must be embedded in our self. Saying NO to the useless, time-consuming activities that are sometimes draining is good for yourself. When the pressure to achieve more to be the best in class, in work, in sports and in so many other areas is pressing, living one life at a time is truly a rewarding  choice. So how are we going to accomplish this. I am suggesting you to use the following strategies: 1. Pr...

Understanding Autonomic Pharmacology: A Short Essay (Part 1 of 2)

by: Archimedes O. Bayquen, RPh, MPH The autonomic nervous system (ANS) has been described many years ago as a division of the peripheral nervous system. It is subdivided into Parasympathetic (Rest and Digest, Conservative and Restorative function) and the Sympathetic (fight, flight, fright, stress response). The Enteric Nervous system is also a division of the ANS consisting of Myenteric or Auerbach plexus and submucous/Meissner’s plexus. The ANS is involuntary, automatic, unconscious response. Think of whenever you breathe and whenever your heart is beating. You don’t utilize your conscious control to initiate and sustain their function as they do their job independently without your control even when you are at sleep.Most of the organs in our body are dually innervated by both branches. Only very few are not—worth mentioning are the sympathetic cholinergic sweat glands in the skin and the blood vessels. Let us very briefly take a look at how these two systems differ. In ter...

Bakit Kailangang Lumaban?

Minsan sa ating buhay, darating tayo sa puntong hindi na natin kaya ang bigat na ating nararamdaman. Sisigaw tayo, iiyak ng taimtim, papatak ang maraming luha, magtatanong kung may nakakaunawa, at maaring mag-iisip na wakasan na ang lahat. Mahirap maging "tao", mahirap ang mga balakid at problema pero sana atin ding maisip na posible itong masolusyonan.  Galing ako sa isang mahirap na pamilya ; walang trabaho ang aking ina at ang ama ko nama'y farmer lamang. Mahirap ang aking naging buhay, hindi naging madali mawalan ng baon para makapasok sa eskwela. Hindi madaling umiyak dahil wala ka ng pamasahe or pambayad ng matrikula. Minsan kong naitanong kung bakit napakatanga ng aking mga magulang, kung bakit wala silang pera at hindi nila kayang maibigay ang aming mga pangangailangan. Nakapagtapos ako sa isang public school ng elementary at sekondarya. Sa katunayan, class salutatorian ako sa Special Science Class ng isang National High School sa amin. Kahit sa sobrang hi...
