    Sobrang hirap pag nasa sitwasyon ka na di mo na maintindihan ano pa purpose mo, yong wala ka ng reason to live, magsusuicide, nagsusurvive din, tapos wala pang friends o family na masabihan. Excited nalang ako tuwing gabi, pero nakakatakot nrin gumising kasi ramdam na nman yong sakit.

    Kahit complete psychiatrist ang problem DITO sa pinas na shortcut mga mental protocol magaling lang mag salita in reality short cut mga protocol kawawa mga pacient what makes it dangerous…psychiatrist rely immediately on heavy psychotic drugs

    Diko alam kung depression pa ba ang sa akin o mawawalan na talaga sa huwisyo. Wala na akong kontrol kapag nagagalit or naiinis ako. Nirarason ko ay, “lagi na lang akong nagtitimpi. This time, kung anong lalabas, hahayaan ko na.” Brb, dami pang activities. 😀

    Hindi diagnosed kundi ni label ka lang mas delicado ang stigma at trauma pag sinabi ng psychiatrist na may disorder pati na ang mga gamot nila.

    I'm here to know if kaya ng budget ko ang pagpunta or session sa Psychiatrist. I wanna be better, I'm in so much pain inside and I'm tired of hurting myself unintentionally. Nakakalungkot dahil di ko masabi sa family ko kasi di sila naniniwala na may kagaya kong may labis na pagkalungkot. I wanna be better and di ko alam kung paano. Please if merong magsa-suggest ng murang clinical sessions around metromanila, thank you.

    Para din sa kaalaman ng madami, kung bakit ganun kamahal ang fees, dahil yon sa sobrang kaunti lang ang psychiatrists sa pilipinas vs population na ike-cater nila. Pwede nyo isearch yung statistics/info about this. Kung bakit ganun, ewan ko. But I really believe na eto yung dapat mapagtuunan ng pansin. Atsaka yung mga facilities natin at sa prices ng meds.

    To anyone reading this, I just want to share my cent: I used to feel sad very sad illogically sad, useless, feeling ko there's no motivation or anything and I don't have a dream no sense of existence. I only know what I am feeling is wrong, very wrong. For a fully functional society i am not functioning at all. Because no matter how I analyze it, I can't find the reason so what I did to keep myself upfloat in life is I distract myself with something that can help me forget this inexplicable feelings. I became addicted to internet, became a shut-in, i read mangas watch anime, youtube play mobile games read novels. Sa buong araw yan lang talaga other than eat sleep umabot pa sa point na I became unhygienic talaga and I develop hygiene problems (which until now am very conscious about). Years passed, my family from always questioning me of what my plans are na tumatanda nako started to became quiet and somehow I feel like they later understand na there's something and a quiet environment is better for me. Sometime ago I started to feel a little alive for no reason basta I started taking care of myself yung hygiene ko pero I still sleep late. The game that I started playing years ago can actually earn me some pocket money pag binenta ko mga equipments in-game which I just learned later on from there nagkaron ako ng konting pera. I started to watch tarot/pick a card reading in YT, i know medyo taboo pero it worked really well for my mental health. Somehow I was able to analyze my strenghts weaknesses and I was able to start to see myself having a future again which is big because before I don't even imagine myself having a future pero now sobrang laki talaga ng pinagbago ng mindset ko. Right now, same I am still usually in my room pero i would go out the house na sometimes (out of the house lang tapos pasok ulit hahaha). And I have plans to go and build a life to enjoy going to places find a job that can sustain me and be happy. I want to tour this world and find what life has to offer (just like a tourist lol pero seryoso i want pa lang naman pero sana talaga). Gusto ko naman when I transcend the afterlife I have beautiful memories na dala-dala about this human experience. May maipagyayabang ako sa iba (sinong iba ehem). Ganun lang. I believe we are humans because we have emotions. I also believe in afterlife and reincarnation, gusto ko ma-resolve ko lahat ng angst ko sa buhay na to so i won't cause anymore trouble to the me sa next one. Nagro-roll over kasi mga unresolved issues as karma kaya usually my mga struggles tayo paulit-paulit kasi we need to learn to resolve them to break the cycle. Ah nga pala sa totoo lang from having no dreams 18/yo me to the dream of 28y/o me is very big. Big dream ksi naniniwala ako na since mangangarap lang naman ako (from having nothing) aba'y lalakihan ko na wala naman mawawala pero di ko sinasabi sa iba kasi they might think I am c-
    Malay mo years later balikan ko comment na 'to na-achieve ko na goals ko and with flying colors pa. So yun nga I just want to share some of my positive insights to you who are still in the darkside of the tunnel, makakarating din kayo sa dulo maliwanag dito promise may disco pa xD. Jokes aside, goodluck everyone.
    Love you. 🌷
    PS: I also, always pray to God ever since. To whoever you believe in, spiritual dependence is also good. Good luck guyz.

    Wala po akong mental health problem pero isa sa mga kapatid ko sinasabihan akong sira na dw ang mental health ko ito ang dhilan kaya nakakaramdam ako ng stress at going to depression na kasi lagi ko nlng iniisip yung mga sinasabi nya.

    5k is a huge amount of na di nga kaya ng average working filipinos. tapos e mental gymnastic mo lang na nasa mind set yan? kung hindi ka ba naman gahaman to justify those amounts eh paano kau makakatulong sa filipino? paano nyo ma lessen ang at matulongan ang obscurity for filipino mindset na ma understand ang mental health eh sa fees pa lang abot langit ang presyo?

    Dto sa'min pag snabe mo may depressesion ka they will just brush it off saying "Feeling mo lng yan" or pag sinabe mo may mental illness ka sasabihin agad "Ano baliw ka?". The reason why it's so hard to tell ur parents when ur feeling suicidal or having depressive thoughts is that they won't believe u, they'll even get mad at u or even say ur just being overdramatic. Instead nah tulungan ka lalo ka pang idodown kaya natutuluyan nlang ung mga anak magsuicide at ung mga magulang nah magregret kapag namatay nah ung anak.

    It shocked me to learn that a session cost 5k, I asked the Philippine Mental Health Association Baguio branch that their session cost only 900PHP for Adults.

    The sad reality is my family doesn't care what I feel, and I'm always silent because I don't like what's in their mind and they will tell you words that doesn't uplift you and I always refuse to tell them what I feel in the inside. I can manage myself while suffering in silence.

    In my situation kahit hindi na gumastos ng Malaki. Need lang ng may nakakaintindi,bonding sa family. Hindi yong puro yaw2,hindi puro aumbatan awayan. Masasakit na salita. Sa family lang ang gamot.

    Sa ngayon wala akong makausap , wala akong ksama sa bahay. Wala akong kaibigan , kakabreak lang nmin ng gf na siya lang yung nakakausap. Siguro dahil napagod siya sa pakikinig sakin. Kaya ngyaon hindi ko alam gagawin , para akong nakatayo lang na hindi alam saan papunta hindi ko mahakbang mga paa ko. Hindi ko alam ano gusto kong gawin , natatakot akong magpakamatay kaya sa tuwing natutulog ako hinihiling ko nlnh sa Diyos na wag na niya kong gisingin pa kinakabukasan . Dumgdag pa kahit last year pa nawala tito ko , masakit parin sakin . Hindi ako makaiyak alam kong malungkot ako , pero hindi ako makaiyak lumiluha ako pero hindi nawawala yung bigat ng nararamdaman ko. Nagiisa ako simula pa pagkabata , kaya wla akong kaibigan
