Why do I feel depressed when I have my period?
(Pre-menstrual Syndrome) aka PMS depression is different from a woman to another. Basically, not every woman on earth suffers from it, but those who suffer are just getting so sharp pain miserably. On the other side, there is clinical depression, it just so happens to anyone on the planet any time, clinical depression can hit any woman unconditionally just like anyone else, and that is not linked to any feminine issues. In other words, PMS occurs in the first stage of the menstrual cycle, The difficulty with distinguishing between a woman who suffers from clinical or major depression vs. PMS is that about 70% of the women who do suffer from PMS depression and only about 15% of women who do not have PMS do have clinical depression. Clinical depression lasts much longer than two or three weeks, causes an overwhelming feeling of helplessness and frustration. (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder ) aka PMDD occurs in the two weeks prior to a woman’s period and then it is all gone. It also shows a decrease of symptoms as soon as the period starts flowing. There is a lot of distress, frustration, anxiety, anger, and irritability.A friend of mine -who’s a doctor- once mentioned that: the level of oestrogen and progesterone falls at the end of the menstrual cycle. oestrogen is believed to have a negative impact on the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that the body produces to make us feel good, happy, satisfied, etc.The question is: how to deal with this issue?. well, there are antidepressants used for this issue, and other less invasive drugs used as well. Fortunately, you can overcome it with non-pharmaceutical home recipes that can be easily used to eliminate this depression, such as herbals, supplements, and vitamins (you can consult with a doctor about that, don’t take anything randomly). There are lots of food to avoid when you’re suffering from depression, for instance; caffeine, salt, soft drinks, dairy products, and alcohol.There are mental tips you can follow. Like Yoga, it is so useful because it blends together exercise, meditation and relaxation all into one activity. It is very effective for any type of depression regardless of source.P.s: all this information is based on my knowledge of depression and mental health, I am not a doctor nor psychologist.
Why do I feel depressed after eating?
Because when you eat blood has to travel to your stomach to digest the food. Some of this blood travels from your brain (and everywhere else in your body) which might you temporarily lose some of your cognitive functions.One of the functions of the pre frontal cortex is to balance stimuli from other parts of the brain (such as the amygdala that handles emotions). When you eat you are now feeling these stimuli at full force.It is the same thing as when you are starting to eat and suddenly realise that you are really really hungry. You have actually been hungry for a while but your brain has been actively ignoring the stimuli that tells your brain that you need food.It is important to understand that the change and the depressed mood is temporary. Once your body has processed the food your cognitive functions will return.One good way to lessen the depressed feeling is to eat better (more nutrient at a more regular interval) since your blood glucose level in turn affects your mood.You might feel sad to begin with because you are hungry!Good luck!
Feeling really depressed after watching Titanic?
It is incredibly sad and hard to watch, but the very last scene always puts a smile on my face (after bawling during the last two-thirds of the film), the part when Rose goes back to the Titanic and everyone who died--including Jack--is waiting there for her. It makes me feel like all the people who died on that ship are in a better place; they were back on the ship of dreams and were all smiling as well. Just remember that because of the tragedy, ships are built a lot better today, and they take more precautions. Like Jack told Rose to live her life, I'm sure all the people who died don't want us to mourn. They never wish to be forgotten, but they want to let us know that they're okay and that we should move on. There really is no real way to cheer you up. I've tried watching happy and funny movies, but Titanic somehow finds its way back into my head. Just give it time, it'll gradually pass. In the meantime, you should cherish your life and all the people you have in it. Praying usually helps me too; just let the victims know you care.
Why do I feel depressed/sad after I shower or swim?
So yeah. There you have it. Why do I feel depressed/sad after I shower or swim? I mean, it's not the fact that I'm touching water otherwise I'd wash my hands and feel sad afterwards and that's definitely not the case. I've even been swimming with friends before and though I'm a little sad sometimes - I only seem to get sad when my full body's immersed in water. I've tried researching about this, but nothing helps. What's the problem here? Or is this actually fairly common?
Do you feel sad or depressed in the Winter time?
I hate Winter, it is so dark every day and it makes me feel like I don't want to go out of the house but in Summer I am totally different, I wake up really early and want to be outside all the time. Do you guys in Turkey get this or is it not so dark and dull there during Winter?
Why do i feel so depressed after drinking?
This is your mind going "DRINKING IS NOT FOR YOU", but you are ignoring it. And so is everyone you know and likely everyone you will ever meet as well, and I certainly didn't. Listen to your mind. We think we are all that and we are always showing off to each other on the eternal competition that will never end how much fun and how brilliant we can be, but almost nobody ever listens to their minds. Your mind is not a party pooper by the way, your mind is your friend, but you are ignoring it. It says "drinking is not good for us". And it is saying that for a very good reason - you have other things in your subconscious that you want to do that you are more interested in than drinking. You ignore what your subconscious wants, you ignore your mind, an ignored mind = a tired/emotionally wrecked mind. The peer pressure of drinking, the fear is you quit drinking/you lose your friends, and that may very well happen, but the ones you lose, you'll be happy to lose. Your mind doesn't want to do this anymore - it wants to get started on other things IT REALLY WANTS because those things are what YOU REALLY WANT. The more you ignore, the harder it is to remember, the harder it is to see clearly. But you are never out of time, the longer you ignore the harder it is but it is never ever impossible. Get whatever help you need if you think you need help but you can do all this by yourself, you didn't always drink, you just got older in a society where drinking = acceptance, but it is not what you want. I like drinking too, but I like not drinking more. I'm actually getting started on things I want to do in my life and getting there. I am no one special, I just realized one day that I was doing all the things my mind was saying "you don't want to do that Dave". So I stopped, and as Scott says - it does get easier. This is just the psychology of why. Your brain is a part of you, in charge of every mental function you have, and it wants to be listened to.
