Hi, The past few days I feel so much depressed, this is caused by a lot of factors in my life. Pressure from work, domestic issue, missing my family, financial issue. I have no outlet or even somebody to talk to regarding this. One night I found myself just smoking continuously for 5 hours. How can I?

U can always turn to mylot. There are members in here, ready to lend a listening hear to all your problems. If u are comfortable enough to share, all of us here are willing to offer advice. It's not good to be smoking that much, and 5 hours continuously is not a short period of time too. U have to watch your health. It's not worth damaging your health this way.

sounds like to me you need a brake but that cant happen right now you make it sound like your world is coming to a end but it's not go out and do something good for someone else and it will make you feel better about yourself to

you need to take a deep breath and work on the things you can change. One at a time. no pressure and no stress!! You are the master of your thoughts and the place you are in life. If you want better you have to think better and then do better! and when all else fails, Pray!

hi waterproofpaper come here to us and rant and cry on our shoulders as this is the place where good mylotters will extend some sympathy and advice and offer a virtual kleenex. I know as I have been in much your same situation and a number of very kind wonderful people did offer their shoulders a nd their sympathy and advice too.Talk to us with your fingers a nd we will respond as most of us have been in some of the same fixes too.So put down those ciggies as they will not help for very long and will just put poisons in your lungs. You do not need that.Talk it out with us as some of us are sure to have some suggestions to help. worries shared are halved so the saying goes.Also if you like classical or soft music listen to it and relax. as you get unkinked a lot of your worries will seem much smaller.Also leave your work at work and relax and let work stay away from home. keep in touch with your family so you will not feel so lonely, phone or email or whatever so you do not feel so alone. also get out at times where there are people your own age. I know finacial issues loom big but some places where you meet people do not cost a fortune, even church groups can put you in contact with other people.on your days off think about doing some volunteering to take yourself out of your woes and fasten on other people. hospitals and libraries and nursing homes often need volunteers, even teachers use teacher helpers if you like children.

We get depressed when we are constantly thiking of our misfortunes, at such a time say shut up to your mind and try to focus on some good event in life, this would definately remove your depression. At times listening to music also heals the depression. Go for a long walk that is also one remedy for diverting your mind. Hope this will help you. May god bless you.

If you feel depressed and think you are alone. Do not stay on your room. Instead, go for stroll and amuse yourself. Do not let yourself drown by own your sorrows... Smoking will not help you out of your problem. I suggest you to pray to God...

Sorry to hear about your depression. I would suggest you try and focus on one issue at a time. Do not try to take on all at once because they cannot be resolved in one day. Try and write down what you would like as a future plan. Determine what has worked and what has not to date. Set a few date deadlines so that you strive towards changes. Do not get disappointed if you can achieve them right away. Continue referring to your listed plans/goals to see what improvements have been done and what needs to be changed. First step is to try and develop a few new interests and do not be so hard on you. You are human and continue to say to yourself I am doing the best that I can. I wish you well and do not be afraid to come on to myLot to discuss with others. Here you will received humble advise from members willing to listen. Best of luck.

Last week I was in the same state as you. Was depressed and there's no one there I can really tell everything that I'm going through. I wrote everything, well almost everything in MyLot and somehow that made me a little bit better but I wasn't able to get over that depression easily. I kept myself busy, I focused my mind and prayed. I looked for friends over bbm who can give me an advise and it did help. Sometimes we just needed someone to be there for us to listen and to sincerely give their opinion. I'm glad you are here in MyLot.

Ohhhh dear friend this is very sad you are depressed but please don't do the smoking continuously because life is long and I know you are bold and you can handle any situation so keep trust on God and don't spoil your life. Share your problems with any close friend so you can feel free. Friend once life is gone never came back again so care of it for those who loves you and who cares you. Have a nice day

Your life sounds very overwhelming at this time. It's hard when it more than one thing is happening to cause a mountain of stress in our life. I suggest stop smoking it will only had another problem to your stress when you are able to get things calmed down. Try relieving your work pressure by doing anything that can help alleviate stress from it depending on what you do for work. Maybe having a lighter work load, or taking more breaks. If possible talk with your family about the domestic issues that are bothering you and let them know it is really stressing you out. Also find a really good friend that you can really talk with. Friends are a strong source of support, if you don't have a close one try meeting some more people that way you have more people to really talk too.

I've found that mylot is a great outlet for me which is why I love this site! I've also found that if I blog about my problems, I feel better.. it doesn't even have to be a public blog, just somewhere you can vent and get all your problems out.

Is your working place from your hometown? Do you stay there alone? Dont feel upset. you can call back to your family reguarly. Make some new friends now. If you have pressure, talk to your friend. Maybe there is nothing your friend can help you, but after speaking those troubles out, you will feel better.I know at first it is hard to make new friends. Dont be shy and get out for a walk in your free time that would help you know more people. Do some excercise, it is a good way to relieve pressure and get a good mood. Please do not smoke again. It really dose bad to your health. Besides that, you can come to mylot for fun. Best wishes.

Sometimes when I'm too depressed, I write it down addressed to whomever I wish to talk to who isn't there because, it'll make that person sort of there. Of course, praying always helped me. Crying also helps. Sometimes listening to a good song or singing to it out loud. You said outlet. So anything, anyone, which helps you ease those sinking feelings out of you will help. It has to be positive. I hope you'll feel much better soon.Good day.

I don't know how to help. Maybe just deal with one issue every time. Sort it into priority list. No matter how your problems seem huge right now, there will always solution for it. Even if you have to cut this to get that, or if takes times...

Hi girl, smoking is not the right thing to do for you too be calm! Even though theres nothing with your side at the point you need them just cry! cry and cry! it will released all the pain on your heart but i'm not telling that crying will fade all your problem, it just a way(an outlet) for us. Remember God is always their for us, and don't loose hope! I have been also pressure from work, all missing my daddy( he's out of our house for a month a ago) financial issue off course(that was the always issue of the poor people like me), plus being demanding of my mother and being always failure on my job examination and interview(cause i'm applying for a new work). What else more? but still i'm here! Become more stronger and stronger. I just suck to my mind that i need to be strong for my daddy, for my mom, for my sister (in short for my family) and specially for my self(for my future!). Go girl! i Know you can do it too! I will pray for you, but don't forget to pray for your selves also! God hears us! just be sincere!... God Bless you and your family!
