feralwoman Hello collib - I live in Australia and I have no idea why Indian students are being attacked. I think it's just a minority of ignorant thugs who somehow see Indian's as vulnerable targets. Having lived in the UK where there is a large Indian population, I...

If money was no object, would you choose to live in a different place than where you are living now? I live in California. We have such a bad economy here. If money was no object, I could think of several other places I would like...

feralwoman We moved to Australia on a one-way ticket from the UK over 13 years ago. It was a big risk and we knew nothing much about the place. It's so different to the UK and the weather's better too. I'd say I was happy here, but if money was no object i'd love to move...

This might be a stupid question, I don't know, but i'm interested to know how others discovered they had depression and how it was diagnosed. For me, it happened at a routine doctor's appointment. I was having a pretty...

feralwoman I'm on Zoloft too - it's the only medication that worked for me as I had awful side effects from the many I was put on. It's also important that you can notice the warning signs of another bout starting and sort of get mentally prepared for a bit of a...

feralwoman Hi there sparkster - that sounds all too familiar to me. I still have self-esteem issues but i'm better than I was. It was lucky that your family and friends noticed something was amiss and urged you to go to the doctor. Sometimes, people are too wrapped up in...

I think different people gets stressed and depressed about different things in life. What do you think is the main thing or common factor that causes depression to most people or to yourself?

feralwoman This is an interesting question you've posed here! I don't know if there is a common factor that can cause depression. Some people may be predisposed to it or some may just have a severe overload of bad stuff happening in their lives. In my case it was mental...

feralwoman Hi there artistmel2000! I have seen the before and after effects of people who have had ECT, it's not pleasant but it certainly does seem to make them calmer. I was in hospital with some really severe cases - mostly violent ones who had the ECT. I do hope your...

feralwoman I wish I could do that ayrin - clean everything! Unfortunately cleaning is not an enjoyable thing for me as it reminds me of my mother who was always in a bad mood when she was cleaning. Thanks for your response ;)

feralwoman Hi there - yes kids can be very cruel i've found. I too had a terrible time at school from a group of girls in the year above me. After i'd left school I saw one of them at party and I asked her why she'd bullied me so much at school. I was amazed and...

feralwoman Hi Pixelpixie - I hope it's not The End! I too have had severe depression since I was a child - but depression was unheard of as an illness then. I see a Psychiatrist once a month and I find that really helps me. Thank goodness you didn't end up in hospital,...

feralwoman Hi honeydew - I still find it hard to get out of bed these days! It's good that you try and look on the bright side of things when you feel down. Your doctor made a very good point - not to be so hard on yourself. I think all of us who are suffering from...
