Depression – male menses!
The moods of human mind are seasonal and depression is like Chennai’s summer - it drains your energy completely and makes you feel yuck and tired both physically and mentally. These swings are also known as Male Menses - the only difference being men neither bleed nor they need the new winged Whisper to protect them.
All pass through this phase of depression, which stays for a minimum of 2 and maximum of 5 days, and there are no specific reasons for the same. It just happens, though few people have their own rationales.
How to know if your friend is depressed
Most people are highly irritable during this phase. They tend to argue on anything and everything you speak to them. Not that what they speak are their personal opinions; they just want an opportunity to prove a point and transfer the garbage they are carrying for a while. They usually succeed in doing so too. The best way is to cut the topic midway, and you can see them already fuming.
How to know whether you are depressed
Nothing in world could interest you. Not even Jennifer Lopez’s back, and am not exaggerating. You will feel as if the whole world was created by the God to make you feel disgusted, and that God is planning a conspiracy against you to put an end to you forever.
How to help your friend when he/she is depressed
A friend in need is a friend indeed, so goes the saying and there is no hard and fast rule that you should stick to it. Never become a dustbin for your friend to vomit his psychological garbage on you. Just ignore him, and he will be all right. There are few instances when depression leads to suicidal tendency. If your friend asks for help, please buy him a strip of sleeping pills.
No man who spoke about committing suicide has ever committed suicide. Even committing suicide is destined astrologically, and moreover it is a decision taken in an impulse.
I came across a news story long back on ‘World This Week’, about a book that was published in the US about ‘How to Commit Suicide.’ The book sold like hot cakes, but then none who bought the book dared to experiment.
How to help yourself when you are depressed
Stay aloof and stay alone, as there is nothing like self cure. Talk to yourself to find solution rather trying to escape it by talking to your friends. Friends can only listen to you, but the solution lies within you.
And never ever talk about your sick plight to your girlfriend and sob! You will surely miss all the minutest chances you ever had to marry her. Remember women need a shoulder to cry and not a nut who needs counseling every time!
