Yet another mass shooting and suicide by another depressed gunman. Arent we just glad that it is illegal to carry firearms here? Anyway, why do people get depressed? I dont really know why. But I know how not to get depressed.
I am going to share with you my "how not to be depressed" tips.
1)Be happy.
Life is a choice. And you choose how you want to live it. How you want to feel, how you want to react, how you want to respond. So if you dont want to be depressed, choose to be happy. Life, as many people say, is like a wheel. But living, as I say it, is the work done turning the wheel. Sometimes, we may be at the bottom, but it is up to us to turn it around.
2)Be happy with what we have.
Often people get depressed because they do not have what they want. In life we do not always get what we desire. If we do, there's no fun living any more isnt it? To not be depressed is to be grateful with what we have. Be grateful that we have our irritating little brothers, be grateful that we have our spongebob slippers, be grateful we have our B-s in our report cards. It is not that we shouldnt strive for greater things. I am saying that we should not feel so bad with what we dont have.
3)Be happy with ourselves.
It is always good to be happy with ourselves. With how we look especially. Be happy with our eyes no matter how small it may be, with our funny hair or with our blur look. When we are happy with ourselves, life will naturally be brighter and less suckier. I am not saying that we do not need to go for diet or exercise or bathe, but if we were to do it, do it because we want to do it and not because of what other people think.
So ya. It is simple really. Don't worry be happy... And stay away from guns.

Hello! I shall not just comment on the L-Word issues only! Hehe but depression issues as well.
Well,its easier said then done.When you are not in a situation tt calls for a depression (haha),its easy to say "Gosh,why is this person so ngekngok?".
I had a teacher in sec sch.She gave birth and after tt i dont why she had a depression.Like,she just got a baby,and should be happy,but well,she is not. And she didnt come to sch for like 3mths,and it was during sec 4 somemore!
But then when u think again.Surely something must have bothered her right.People do recover from depression,but it takes time lah.
But i guess for those gunman,they were not patient enough to wait.
Okay.Aku tgh bebual merepek seh.Serious.Haha.Eh i commented on greatness,tt comment it greater than this.hehe :)
post natal depression is scary. but it happens. Can you imagine? EVERYONE will tell you that mothering comes naturally after the birth of a child albeit with LOTS of help and support but what happens when all you want to do whenever you see that child is to snuff the life out of it, after you brought it to the world with such EXCRUTIATING pain?
Sometimes, the brain's capacity to think about the goodness in life is clouded by thoughts of the darkness around.
For some peopl, it's not that one doesnt WANT to be happy, but because the world is in a downward spiral and you cant do anything about it regardless of how much you try, that can lead ANYONE to depression. trust me. i would know. my dad is clinically depressed.
Also, there are those who would say that people who are happy all the time are emotionally retarded. haha. I love that phrase. It basically means your emotions are very shallow, or that you are able to only feel SO MUCH. nothing deep, nothing extreme. and that would just be scary.
Ok I shant continue for fear that my comment will be longer than fiz's post.. heh heh heh.
Oh wait, one last thing:
Don't worry be happy... And stay away from guns.
Your one liners rock LOL!
Yes maybe it's easier said than done. I have overlooked the different stituations that may have caused one to be in depression. I am just grateful that I have not encountered any depressing moments. One thing though, overthinking also can lead to depression. Things like "do i look fat", "does she hate me that's why she never called" kinda stuffs. So ya don't worry stay happy may not always work but do still stay away from guns.
