Ok guys, those who are saying that they are depressed etc etc may be not suffering from depression, lets us analyse the different scenario. In nepal, if you lived at your home before coming abroad (especially to US) were either 1.Pampoered by your parrents. 2.Had very limitedhorizan of friends and grewu up in limited circle. and spend most of the time with that circle. 3. Had no serious thought about life (like, life is very easy, everyhting is ok, I will do fine 4. No methodic (not approching the problems systematically and step by step process. 5.Hughly ambitious (ambition should be based on personla capacity) 6. Everything was so setteled for you (padne, jagir khane, biha garne bachha banaunee) the way was very certain. when you came abroad then 1. There is no one to pamper you.After study, you have to go for work and after that you have repeate same cycle again and again. 2. Because of your limited circle in nepal, in abroad you cant deal with variety of ppl (you start getting frustration) 3.In nepal you took everything granted, abroad it is not you have to earn evertyhing (you are not concentrating to your work, your body is somewhere and your mind is somwhere, remember an accident is nothing but presence of body and absence of mind, so you strat making accident) 4.You have difficulty approaching the problems systematically and because of this you get set back many times (you feel sad now). 5.You had not set your ambition according to your capacity. Your capacity and your ambition does not match, you want to have easy life and you set your ambition very highso, (here again you start to feel sad). 7. You dont know how to live with high level of uncertainity. In US you find that what was for sure to you in nepal (padne, jagir, khanee , bihaa garnee bachha banaunee) is not certain, and you started to get scared. The ultimate result.......you are depressed To get rid of this, medicine is not the goal. You just have to analyse yourself first, 1.Analyse what were you in nepal, how was your life, 2.what you wnated to become in your life, do you really have that capacity. 3.May be you choose wrong field(if you are excellent in one field does not mean that you are excellent in all otheres) 3.Analyse what is your capacity, what can you do and what you cant, and set you ambition according to your capacity. 4. Do not punish yourself for making mistakes (mistakes are part of life, making mistake is very normal) what you should not do is repeate the same mistake. 5.If you make one mistake, learn from it, correct it and be ready for another mistake (we all have made many mistakes in our live, dont we?) and develop capacity to laugh when you make mistake. 6. Change your field, it may be that you have choosen wrong field where you can not do better, but before doing this give a serious thought, analyse, if you leave this field which one will you choose? will you be able to do better in that field? or you just you want to try somthing different? 7. Accept certain degree of uncertainity in your life.try to get easy with uncertanities No medicine, no one can help you to get out of this. ITS YOU AND ONLY YOU CAN DO IT. Before following what I have suggested, take a deep breadth, relax, forget the world , because you are the boss do things what you like spend time (a week or two) start to think during that relaxing period and continue thing doing relaxing activities. when you have not done any illegal things, and if you have not deprived others from their right, you are a fine p[erson and everything is alright. ok for those guys who do not belong to this catagory, that is, you were not staying at home with parrents pampering but staying at different place than home and doing all by yourself, you came to west and still get frustrated, I will try to put my suggestion some other day.
