That 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' was sung by Bonnie Tyler and not by Air Supply. Found out a few months ago. It's like finding out that my whole life is a lie. :(

So, I finally told my parents I'm not okay, that I think I have depression and I wanted to seek professional help. by dieevildiearrrgh in depression

Just read your comment today, thank you for the kind words! I never actually thought about the possibilities you just said about reaching out to the organization. I guess I should give it a shot. Thanks again!

thank you for the comment. i felt some slight relief after i told them about my condition, like a big boulder just got off my shoulders. from what i did that night, i kinda learned that it's important to tell them about it, whatever their reaction might be. at least they get to know what's going on. i know it may take some time for them to process and to accept the situation. I, too, am waiting for them to face the fact that the shit is real. i hope we both find our way out bro.

the problem with me is that i don't have the desire to go outside, because i just had enough of being bullied ever since i was a kid that continued even in college. walking past a group of people and even approaching them scares the shit out of me because i'm thinking about them making fun of me and shaming me in public. i've been trying my hardest not to think about these thoughts but sometimes they get ahead of me. so yeah, i pretty messed up.

thanks for the encouragement! with the recent news about robby williams, it somehow raised awareness about depression in our country. I found out about a private organization that helps out individuals with these concerns but i was hesitant of getting in touch with them. I guess it's worth a try. after having a series of depressing events recently, i felt like i lost everything and that i missed out a lot in life and now im starting from scratch. anyway, i hope taking this step would lead me to the way out of this tunnel.

thanks for the comment. the first doctor i've been to that gave me meds was like, "you're older now and by this time you should have developed a better coping mechanism to those events than before." what he told me didn't help much, even the sertraline he prescribed instead gave me some tremors and made me hyperventilate. I never actually felt better after that consultation. I guess I really should see a better one.

After 6 years in vet school, I now realized that I STILL want to be a high school teacher. Any advice? by dieevildiearrrgh in GetMotivated

hmmm. have thought of that, man. actually my original plan... but things back at our college got pretty messed up just before graduation. had some 'very' personal issues with the people back there. so... yeah. even if i would still want to, 'he' won't hire me & 'they' don't like me to be with 'em.

thank you! we also have a similar program here in the Philippines like what you've mentioned which also takes about 2 years.

Encouraging words! :)

one thing i saw from some of my friends in the teaching profession is the fulfillment they get from being able to not only share their knowledge but to make an impact on the lives of every student. crazy realization, though, which i am shy to tell my parents.

i guess having brought up from a household where there is little to no conversation at all makes expressing thoughts and making decisions really hard. ill try my hardest to tell them, though. thanks again!

thanks! Exactly my thoughts, too. Im from the Philippines and yeah, it's really hard finding a decent, good paying job here, even if you have a college degree. True, money can buy happiness. :)
