I already diagnosed myself by reading and searching the internet about this freaking stuff...Having this kind of disorder is very difficult especially when everybody around you cannot understand the situation because they are not experiencing it... I am glad that I have found this forum.... at least I know that there are people out there that also experiencing this kind of challenge in life... God bless to all of us!!! There is no impossible to God.. let's keep on praying!!!

i still havent seen a doctor. his PF is too steep for me, and unfortunately we had a little too much to spend for other things. me too, there are times when i get stuck in a feeling or a certain situation in my head, most of the time are even non existent. to be honest, hirap na hirap na ko. i hav 2 kids and sometimes i have thoughts about killing myself, and iv had feelings na i just want to isolate myself, live in a deserted island, basta walang ibang tao. i feel bad kasi as much as i want to be fully functional for my family, i cant help but just mope around or cry or just not mind them at all. sometimes i think maybe all i need is a friend who understands what it's like for me, someone who has this same problem. then i realize how pathetic i am. and the cycle starts again.

somebody pls help..

hey guys. we are conducting weekend meet ups at megamall. we can meet there and talk about our condition. i am currently working and this condition is really affecting my working relationships with my team mates but i still try to cope with this and we should all do! i am karlo, here is my mobile phone number: 09175161113. you can also contact topz or kurama san, just find there numbers here in the thread.

i wish we could all meet up and discuss our experiences and siyempre, to ease ourselves with the emotional burden and stress that this condition is giving us.

I wish you all the best and that someday we could tell to ourselves that we are not afraid anymore with the people around us and to not overthink about anything that we think might hurt or shame us.

it is really tough, because people can't understand the suffering that we always go through everyday of our lives, i wish God has a good reason why He made us this way.

[waitforsomething]

I think I have s.a.d too. There comes a time when I won't go out of the house for a month because I'm too afraid of what other people will think once they talk to me. I am very socially awkward & i cant even hold a conversation I used to like going to parties but now Id rather stay at home.

[Guinglain]

wow magiisang taon na ata nung huling nagpost ako dito.

i'm currently having an ojt on a government agency, it helped me a lot kasi nakakausap ko mga strangers, which is difficult for me before. hindi nmn ako nahirapan sa office environment kasi busy lahat ng staff tas may kasama ding trainees na pwedeng kausapin. yun nga lang pag nakipag-mingle na yung mga kasama kong trainees sa staff di ako makasabay, na-oout of place na ako.

any suggestions on how to deal with these kind of situations?

[khulds]

naku. pare parehas lang tayo. kahit ako. i try to mingle with my co workers pero na ououtcast padin ako. i really want to engage pero hindi ko alam bakit parang ang hirap. siguro kasi iniisip ko kung ano iniisip nila sakin once na mag engage in convo ako with them. pero i try my best.

i am currently working and it is my first employed experience, ang hirap sobra, pero kailangan lang natin magkaron ng balls para ipagpatuloy yung ginagawa natin, wag lang siguro tayo padala sa mga sabi sabi, just go with it, laugh about it, o kaya makipagsabayan ka sakanila. pakita mo na you are someone na hindi lang pinupush over pero wag naman to the point na nagagalit ka na at gusto mo ng sapakin kung sino man yon ( actually that is my case).

socially awkward talaga ang mga SAD, alam na natin yon, kaya ang gawin natin, i reverse natin yung thinking na socially awkward tayo and magpakatatag na hindi naman tayo ganon. the good thing is, alam ko na we are very intellectual people kaya mas prone talaga tayong lapitan ng ganitong illness.

try our meetings every saturday at megamall. doon tayo mag pulong at makikita niyo na hindi kayo nagiisa and siguro mararamdaman niyo na welcome kayo na walang naiiba. this is it guys! we need to step up our game and face the world!

[khulds]

minsan ang hirap din. parang nagiisa ka, minsan you really think na being abnormal is okay while being normal is not. parang if you see your group doing what common people do in social situations, ****. *******. to tell you all the truth. ang tingin ko nonsense eh. dadaldal lang para belong and to laugh at jokes na hindi naman nakakatawa at sobrang babaw. pag di mo nagets parang ang stupid mo pero sa loob loob mo, *******. parang wala namang katuturan yong ganong social action. ****. parang nakakatamad na bigyan ng attention kasi.

parang mas mabuti pang magtrabaho nalang and get the job done rather than to ****ing chit chat na hindi naman lagi kailangan.

minsan parang wala ng sense din makipagusap sa ibang tao, nakakatamad unless parehas kami magisip or katulad nito. puro tayo SAD. atleast lahat tayo nagkakaintindihan.

[khulds]

and always remember guys. we are intellectual people. may utak tayo. may talino. lahat tayong may SAD. we are capable of doing things in a different way with better results or sometimes incomparable good results na maamaze yung mga taong naguunderestimate satin. ******* if given the right time and opportunity, sisipain ko mga mukha nila HAHA.

sorry. wala na kasi yung kainuman kong pinagbubuhusan ng mga frustration ko. i just need to blurt out these thoughts kasi ang hirap din ng walang makausap.

[Guinglain]

^
sayang layo kasi megamall samin e.

btw, waley talaga, nagbusy-busyhan na alng ako para di mapansin.

buti na lang malapit na matapos ojt ko, pero, hays, panibagong hirap na **** pag nagtrabaho

[ganjapastarasta]

Dears,

where and what time do you usually meet in megamall? I am currently facing a difficult position and i think it would be best if i can talk to strangers i've got loads to share especially to my loser office mates who thinks that i am a big loser.

[elz24]

hay, talagang mahirap kapg may SAD... kapag nababasa q *** mga post dto, nakakarelate talaga **... pinipilit q din na maging ok pero alam nyo un.... mahirap talaga, parang cycle. paulit-ulit...
ngayn nagta-try ** ng mga binaural beats from youtube na nag-al-alter daw ng brain waves. Meron ba sa inyo nakapagtry ng binaural beats, music therapy, subliminal messages? gusto q lang malaman kung ano ang naging outcome? kaya daw nitong ireprogram ang subconscious mind...

I think I might have SAD too. I'm fifteen years old but unlike any other teenagers, I always stay at home so every vacation like today, I never set foot outside. It's hard. Ever since a child , I really think something is wrong with me. I'm really thankful for this thread because I found someone that is suffering like me.

I remembered last last month, my teacher in chemistry gave us a consideration for our low grades(every two to three days lang ata ako pumapasok eh,, kasi ayaw kong magrereport. buti nkakaraos . bumabawi na nga lang sa mga exam eh. pero hindi sa chemistry(hindi ksi magaling magturo))halos every student in third year A mababa. So binigyan nlng *** ng project. Nagbayad nga lang *** iba(ksama ako) tpos *** iba nlng ang bibili. Eh nahuli *** ng pag submit *** dahil dun papasayawin *** ng teachmehowtodoggy(ewan) paunti ng paunti tpos 5 nlng kming natira. di ko nga alam kung bakit pero bigla akong npaiyak. haha nkakahiya nga eh. tpos di ako pumasok knabukasan. si mama na nga lang pinapunta ko sa skul para papirmahan *** clearance ko. haay hirap sobra ng may SAD!!! It's a curse I tell you! It's awful.

May psychologist ba na tumatanggap ng maxicare or valucare health card... Gusto ko kasi magpacheck up para ma confirm kung may SAD talaga ako
