STRESS/DEPRESSION MANAGEMENT

Recently I'm suffering from loads of stress & depression, due to studies, relationship & health. I broke down almost every night, cried in the middle of the night, suffered from insomnia, eating disorder (over-eat), mood swing, emotional, aggressive, talk less... etc. This has caused a lot of problems to my daily life.

I have no one to speak to, I assume. Therefore I went online, surfed for materials on stress & depression. I found out that I might have been diagnosed with clinical depression. When I realized that, I felt worse than before. This might be the reason why most of the people choose to ignore the issue or pay no attention to it, hence may worsen the stress & depression.

I found out some tips to release stress & conquer depression, which are:
1. exercise
2. meditation
3. deep breathing
4. spas, etc

I have tried walking my dog, doing yoga, as well as spas. It worked, but not apparent, might worsen due to disappointment.

Finally, I realized that by talking to your loved ones are the most useful. Their support & understanding help a lot, more than by going through stress management.

Don't worry, be happy! Stress & depression will only deteriorate one's progression, making a person to fall out from his/her daily routine. It brings no benefit to your life. Try to defeat it by positiveness!!! Cheers!!!

RELATIONSHIP vs. MONEY

What is the most important ingredient in a relationship?
The answer is very simple, LOVE.
However, can a relationship last without MONEY?
I doubted so.

There are various types of relationships, family, friends, lovers... etc. On the facts, I'm pin-pointing on lovers-kind-of-relationship.

To make myself clear, I do not mean that everyone needs to be a billionaire in order to survive in a relationship. What I meant was, to have enough money to satisfy the needs in our relationship.

What are the needs in a relationship? Food, gifts, pampering treatment (e.g. SPA), travel, anniversaries, birthdays, celebrations... We splurge on all these things when we are in a relationship, and all these can only be achieved using money. When we are madly in love, sometimes we immune ourselves from all these ugly-realities, realities that tell us, WE NEED MONEY! It's to even mention about this. By mentioning about money with your husband/wife, boyfriend/girlfriend, it is not only ir-romantic, moreover, by doing so, you might probably ruin your relationship. Therefore, communication is very important. Couples must learn to communicate wisely with each other.

Money is a very sensitive issue in a relationship. Most of the people work extremely hard merely to satisfy their partners' urges to splurge & spend. However, my point here is not about having a luxury lifestyle, it is merely about an equivalent amount of money which is able to run the relationship.

Work hard, for yourself as well as for your beloved ones.

HOW SKINNY DO YOU WANT ME TO BE!?

Lately, I'm trying to lose weight. I have a healthy BMI, but I just have a 'fat-feeling'. I feel fat no matter what clothes I put on my body, I feel fat whenever I eat... But, how thin is considered thin?

There are lots of unhealthy impressions given through the media, e.g. movies, TV shows, advertisements, beauty pageants contests, catwalks, models in the magazines etc. In conclusion, celebrities, beauty kings/queens etc, THEY ARE ALL THIN!!! Therefore, thin is thought to be beautiful, an IT thing.

Thin is not a bad thing, but way too thin is definitely unhealthy! But who cares, I want to be hot & sexy, & being thin is so sexy!!! [Just kidding! I'm a curvy person! LoL...]

Other than the bad impressions from the media, others' point of view is a killer too! There are so many weird people around us, strangers i mean. If you are fat, they will give you those look as if you are polluting the scenery!!! They blame you to be fat, they tease on your bulky thighs, they call you fat-ass, they give you names etc, they kill you by destroying your self-esteem. Why can't these people be a little polite, by telling someone that he/she is fat need not use harsh words. By giving advice or encouragement is good enough.

I'm impressed by my boyfriend due to his weight loss by walking, I'm lucky to have a friend who is now guiding me to lose weight (you know who are!!! yeah, it's you, superstar!!!) & I'm glad my mum is teasing me right now saying that I've been gaining weight speedily!!! All these are motivations. They push you to lose weight, at the same time in a healthy manner. Please don't end up like the person in the photo above. It's sad...

I want to be thin, healthy & sexy!
