Depression! What a sad word, huh.... For the past week or so, I think I had a feel of a "depression" feeling. When one's spirit
(ching sui) is down, ok, let me phrase another way... When I was spiritually down a couple of days ago, I had difficulty breathing, it was stress and feeling a bit, bit depressed...
On one hand, life was normal, I still smiled and laughed but deep inside, the feeling of "sadness" did not go away, my breathing was affected, my sleep disturbed... and I ended up buying the below, all at one shot in one shop...
I'M ...
CRAZY...
FOR....
SHOESSSSS....
Shoe craze? Not actually the styles I really wanted but ended up owning these pairs in a matter of minutes ....
Lesson learnt:
Oh my god!!! Give me 5 ~
ReplyDeleteWe are exactly the same when came to handling depression. There is one time when I feel stress and depressed, I end up spending more than RM500 at one 'GO' in one single shop - BODYSHOP! Crazy right?? I just tested the products and buy it without thinking about it. Luckily, we are not staying near to each other, if not??? Die loh!! hahaha~ But lately, I have found another good solution that is baking & cooking...I will forget everything when I'm stirring my spatula in the kitchen, I sometime even forget to fetch my kids from tuition class until they call me ...huh!! lol~
Amy, how i wish we can stay next to each other..not otherwise la..
ReplyDeleteDont worry, i will definitely remind u to go fetch yr kids and i will stay back to finish up the baking for u.. hehhee..
dont ask me to bake and cook during depression time, it makes me more depressed then.. i rather go shopping.. and go bankrupt faster too..
shopping will help! :) hope u feel way better now. :)
ReplyDeletereply to your comment on my blog:

Nice shoe jugak.. and me too the same, if depressed, shoe jugak we buy.. so, I always throw my old shoe away like throwing the sad stuff.. then buy new ones.. but me happy or sad, also buy shoe.. coz cannot buy clothes ma.. no size.. hahaha
ReplyDeleteladies...tsk tsk tsk... luckily you din eat and eat. Shopping to pamper yourself not too bad la.
ReplyDeleteDo some running la with your ger, it'll help to reduce the stresses and depression in you. Sweat it out!
Wooo~ nice shoes! But after done all the shopping are you feeling better now? If still feel depressed try to
ReplyDeletehang out with your friends like having tea time/meals. Or maybe you can try to do exercise like YOGA make your body strong & healthy? I found out do Yoga is a way for you to release your stress.
Heee.. i just wish to make you happy and hope you feel better! =)
Claire, I think shopping is one of the best medicine for depression hehe.
ReplyDeleteNice shoes,you have a good taste.
I am also crazy of buying shoes, but this time I tried to control huhuhu, because I may only use it for awhile then suddenly I get bored of using .Im easy to get bored ..terrrribble :)
I don't like it :(
yep, support system is very important...pretty sure u got bunch of friends, hang out with them...but sometimes u need to be alone to feel the presence of the whole universe and to breeze out your sentiments silently...it's okay to mourn each day...but make sure that at the end of the end ud find comfort and feel blessed that you're still alive..take care!

ReplyDeleteWow a total of 5 pairs of shoes in one day, one shop. That is crazy.
ReplyDeleteWhen you are feeling down, doing some exercises usually help or listening to soothing musics like instrumentals or classics.
Just make sure you don't step into a shopping mall or shop of any kind. You end up indulging.
When i am depress, I have no mood on shopping. In stead, I will stay at home and do nothing...
ReplyDeleteMum, consider it pure joy whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
ReplyDeleteAmy, so when ah... when... ??? :)

ReplyDeleteclaire, it feels good to purchase something whn we r depress kan..but then, whn we look at our credit card bills/ purse...d depression eventually comes back to haunt us again! hehe! u r right, get hold of our best buddy whn we r in ths state!

ReplyDeleteshopping is the best therapy for depression indeed. (but don't u think it doesn't last long?)
ReplyDeletethe best way is to be with friends, and it's good for you, you have many bloggers' frens caring for you.
just in case you can't find any frens when you are alone, why not hop over to hkk's old blog and read her old junks? it's really funny, reading all the komens as well. I had been reading it these days and it really brought tears to my eyes laffing myself silly again. thanks to hkk (aka goolypop)!
