Depression

DEPRESSION

 

Depression is an affective disorder manifested by the inability to see and appreciate the joy of living and being surrounded by a colorful universe.

Depression is comparable to darkness as shown in this image. A depressed individual dwells within this darkty restricted environment. His brain function is switched to perceiving solely limited negative illusive images.

The final result entails emotional paralysis and a desire for detachment from his dark sad world.

Body Dismorphic Disorder

Body Dysmorphic Disorder

I am a product of a repulsive nature’s gift.

I feel and see my appearance defective.

My friends do not concur with my feelings.

I trust the mirror.

It reflects the true picture of me.

It follows my feelings and self perception.

It does not confront my perceived self.

I feel uneasy in the company of friends.

My life is driven by undulating waves of

Emotional upheavals

A feeling of obsessive apprehension dominates my daily life.

I am unable to control the conviction of a facial defect.

The only tunnel out from my suffering is the application of a surgical scalpel.

Will this resolve the way I see self?

Obesity

I don’t like me

I feel heavy

My knees hurt when I walk

My doctor says it is due to my weight.

I feel I look different

I sense that everyone is looking at me

“She is fat” is what I hear inside me.

I am scared to look self in the mirror

A mirror can not tell a lie.

It will reflect the reality of my true body.

I do not enjoy shopping.

It reminds me of my dress size.

It hurts to feel being obese.

I looked different back home in Africa

I never felt concerned about my body image.

I was thin and well conditioned.

Now I live abroad in America.

I am surrounded by an overflow of food.

I wonder why there should be hunger in this country.

Wherever I go I am followed by food.

Food is deregulating my rational instinct of eating.

There is sugar in everything I eat.

It feels like there is a habit forming element in everything I taste.

TV is my close friend. TV wants me to sit, all the time, on the coach

It communicates with my craving center of the brain.

It urges me to eat more and more

It tells me not to move or exercise.

I feel guilty of eating excessively.

I feel guilty of not exercising.

I feel tired and exhausted after work.

Is there any place better than my coach to rest.

That is how my day ends.

Can you help me.
