1 in 16 s'poreans suffer from depression - I read from a recent news article. very disturbing to know. :O I reckon its the stressful life in s'pore now & various challenges we face everyday & also pending problems like 1)increased high cost of living but unbalanced salaries 2)Demanding education system.3) With too many FTs coming & 'snatching' of our rice bowls! *_*
I personally know of people who have emotional problems/issues/stress, hence causing them to have depression & result in personality disorder/mental problems. Its quite scary coz' it seems to be creeped up secretly in prolonged time. Sufferers, I realised, either they know they have these issues or they will not know @all, thinking its normal. They are overly emotional & have extreme mood swings. They crave for attention &have fear of loneliness, as they tend to think too much & let their imagination run wild when they are alone. I notice they all have a 'breaking point' which normally are bad experiences that they faced in a point in their lives & this will prevent them from letting go & hence, affect their relationships with people,be it working colleagues, friends, families or loved ones. & I don't know why, I tend to attract these types of people & they will emotionally cling onto me, like leeches, sucking the hell out of me. They just treat me as an emotional 'dumping ground'. :-@ They want me to listen but don't really want to heed my advice. Their minds are already too 'fixed' & two of the main problems I notice they have is that they are extremely stubborn & prideful. That alone is a killer!
My buddies say that I'm too kind. I guess I just want to help them & is thankful that they trust me enough to always come looking for me to 'pour' on me. & plus I always believe that there's a reason for every behaviour & they can be helped. But now I realised, its not good for me emotionally & mentally as too much of their negative vibes & energies coming up to me, which is overwhelming. They need help-psychatric help & divine help.
I was always facinated with human behaviour & my previous ambition was to be a psychologist. But then after watching a psychologist turned psycho,Hannibal Lector (a chilling performance played by Sir Anthony Hopkins)in "Silence of the Lambs", I changed my mind. haha! Now,I just want to have peace & quiet in my life. :)
