I actually don't know how to start this or if I should be doing this, but I guess venting might help and maybe someone could provide a way on how to deal with it.
For the past few years, I've been depressed and generally unsatisfied with my life, despite being 25 years old and 1 semester away from graduating medical school and being above average social class. For me, my issue is mainly that I don't get along with the people in my field of study/practice (most of my friends are Engineers and a few are doctors) as well as the fact that every friend I had that was in my field has either left to continue study in another country or switched his study and ended up befriending other people from his new study. This happened during the first 2 years of my study.
Slowly after my friends started leaving, I kept in contact with most of my friends from other fields via the internet since they are in different countries than I am. This slowly made me cling more and more to the internet as I was compensating for lack of getting along with people here to keeping in contact with friends over the internet. Now I'm your typical FOREVER ALONE guy, I'd do my chores like a robot and and spend most of my time on the internet.
Now the typical advice people give me is to take initiative and do something (As in be a YES man, as in the movie and take a chance), I've tried several things, none worked, probably to me being a guy who always over thinks stuff, clubbing went AWFUL, I'm not the kind of guy that would fit in a club or even feel comfortable in one. Going to the gym was also as bad, it's people with music in their headphones doing their thing. Hanging out with people in the University/Hospital is awkward, my interests are so different from others so conversations are usually me being oblivious on what they are talking about, or me explaining/talking about something to them that I'm sure they don't understand.
Now usually I'm a considerate person, I would always try to rationalize things, which brings up my next source of depression. I always think and know that "things can be worse, and I should be thankful for what I have" but knowing that fact doesn't magically make me happy, it in fact depresses me and prevents me from actually venting my depression and talking to my family about it (They actually know I'm depressed, and they are very supportive. Them telling me not to worry doesn't either magically solve the problem though).
And recently, I'm actually finally very VERY depressed about is when I finish med school. As in my country if you want to specialize in a certain field in medicine, during your specialty period, you don't get paid at all, in fact, you have to pay the hospital to work for them (Yes, you read it right, you PAY them to work for them, and the work is 8 hours a day, 2 days off per week and 2 days 24 hours on-call). That's a full time job that pays you nothing, granted after I get specialty I'd be making a lot, but just the thought of not having an income is really depressing me considerably. Imagine yourself, 30 years old with no income.
Am I worrying too much? hardly...
I feel like I'm being stupid posting this here instead of talking to family/friends about it, but I'm actually too embarrassed to complain or vent, cause they all are supportive, but things ain't going to the right direction. I really wonder how others have dealt with depression and what changes they made in their life that helped generally.

I believe that the number 1 thing that someone can do vs depression is to actually go out and find a hubby that involves other people(and no i am not talking via internet, i mean like going for a sport or painting etc etc...).You know when you have found one by watching yourself waiting the whole week just for it... you might want to try tennis,basketball,photography,painting... anything you can think of. Good luck!
|
you should look on the bright side, when u get ur specialty, kaching $$$, i'm assuming the large income will make u happy, otherwise, you should consider moving countries.

I have also had the exact same problem except I didn't know the root cause of why I was feeling depressed. You at least to know why you are depressed and it's because you're thinking about something that hasn't even happened such as working for free. When the time comes to actually perform these duties, you must remember why you wanted to gain the training in the first place. Maybe just take a break from your responsibilities and not pursue your career. Instead find out what makes you happy and continue doing that until you're ready to take your life back on track.

Yeah the first reply is a pretty good one. I never had many friends in real life and I never liked clubbing, pubs etc. I tried and it never went well - I just wasn't having fun and I didn't feel like the others were. I started climbing recently and made like 10 new friends already, we can go eat something after the climbing and have a good time since we share something in common. For me there's nothing worse than sitting with someone you have nothing in common with. If you have some hobbies outside of the PC world chances are you're going to meet similar people to talk to and make friends with. There's nothing more to it in my case.

Sounds like you just have trouble making new friends as old ones move onto different things.
Sadly this type of situation will occur constantly throughout your life. In the globalised world today, people increasingly like to go to different countries, change jobs and in general just trying new things out. Good thing is that you recognise you have trouble dealing with it and are seeking help.
Since you said you were still at university, try joining about 10 different clubs and societies on campus. Anything that you may be vaguely interested in. From your description, you sound like the type of person that'll just say "oh, I only have 1 semester left, why bother", but this is the type of thinking that got you in this situation in the first place. Try to attend as much events as possible as see which one you fit in the most, then phase out the rest. Many people move to new countries to work, go on study exchange, change high schools due to moving house etc, and they all managed to fit in. Your situation is so much easier since you have a somewhat established network already!
In addition, try to broaden your knowledge and interests. You say that you have problems following other people's conversations because you have such different interests. If you have more knowledge and interests, then you can have more interesting conversation with people, which is important for networking. Let's face it, the world does not revolve around you, eventually you're gonna have to converse with people on a regular basis that you have nothing in common about (eg. work, in laws etc).
Regarding your unpaid work, since I don't know your financial situation, I can't really make a comment on it. Is there any alternatives? If not, just accept it as it is and move on. Else, move to a different country where it's no longer the case. Basically, it is the same as all things in life - when you are unhappy about a situation, you either try to change it for the better, or you accept it. That's up to you.

Hey man -- I suffered from mental health problems for years. One thing that's great is that you are seeking outside advice. I waited for three years before I told anyone about my problems. I did this because I wanted, desperately, to be able to solve my problems myself. And part of that attitude is healthy. But part of it is not.
Regardless, if you can, I recommend seeing a therapist. It can be extremely useful and help you feel better surprisingly quickly.
And I also really recommend this book Buy it, read it, feel better -- I did (and I suffered from chronic anxiety and depression for 4 and 1/2 years, as in everyday was a bleak battle...so I can personally vouch for this book)

I'd be depressed working in a traditional hospital. There is little hope of healing in there. The real cures for all disease are a revitalization of the body's immune system through proper diet and exercise. This cures all diseases for which the internal organs are still capable of recovery. Check out the Gerson diet as a way of healing people rather than the allopathic method.
|
Do a sport. It really, really helps to get you feeling positive. Before I started working out and running, I was lazy and uninterested and I just shyed away from social stuff without even trying, but the energy I got from exercise somehow also made me interested in stuff, I wanted to try new things and talk to people, and I could have an enjoyable conversation with someone I just met because they'd suddenly be more interesting.
It takes effort though. When you're meeting new people, you can't lean back and hang, you gotta lean in and take part. Trust me, it becomes a whole lot more fun when you make a concious effort to involve yourself.

It's a shame that so few people online have a clue how depression really works
You are OK. You are not a bad person. Things are not perfect, there are things that could be better, and that is OK.
Don't keep telling yourself that because you don't have the things you think you need, or arn't the person you "should" be, that it makes you a bad person. Because it doesn't!
A common thing that happens to people in your position is that they think they "need" to be happy because they have all this wonderful stuff around them (uni degree, family, money or w/e) and they think to themselves "well, why am i not happy? i SHOULD be happy! there must be something wrong with me"
There is nothing wrong with you! The way you are right now, its OK.
This kind of thinking is very common and causes people to beat themselves up very easily
It will be much easier to improve yourself once you have the self esteem available to do so. And it starts with not beating yourself up for the way you are - because everyone has their faults and you are a good person!

A friend of mine in medical school said he's found it pretty common for people in that program to have trouble forming solid bonds with their peers. Maybe it's the difficulty involved that med students can only relate with fellow med students (who are all very busy, the guy who said join 10 clubs probably doesn't know how difficult med school is) or the fact that to be a doctor you must, by nature, distance yourself on a level from non-doctors (no one wants to go to a casual doctor like Patch Adams unless they were damn well established [like Robin Williams~]). My advice to you is to hang in there. I'm kind of the same way, except not successful and not in med school, because my city is very poor and I have family reasons keeping me around. But every year since highschool more and more faces disappeared. It is pretty sad watching everyone you know leave for various reasons. But every now and then, I meet a new friend and they stay friends because I don't just consider everyone I meet a friend. Just be on the look out, maybe look for activities that you want to do (even something as mundane as a cooking class, or rockclimbing/paint ball!) something you want to do. Then look into that. Once you go after that, you'll find various people with the same interest as you and then throughout that group of people, you can "get to know" them and then make some real friendships.
I like to drink so I enjoy a bar and spend some time in them. One thing I notice between people who "succeed" at bars and who fail at them is that the people who "succeed" went there because they wanted to. People are also weird beings, you should know you study them. They travel in packs and those packs form a microcsm of a society. You can tell who wants to be there and who went because someone else wanted them to go (i'm not gonna say alpha or anything cause that's not the point I'm trying to get at). It's especially obvious when you see a lost guy at a bar who went there to try to find a girl. They look desperate with the need to attach on to something and then they try person after person. My point with the selecting an activity you like: you get some interest in it and the group of people you'll meet are already filtered. This is true for people and bars as well (diff bars diff type of people) but descerning motive properly in a bar full of stereotype is difficult and not the best way to make a friend.
If this is about not getting laid: try this "hey babe, i'mma be a doctor" pretty sure that would work. If it doesn't just wait till you can say "hey I'm a doctor". Won't even need the babe.
Hang in thur

Errr it's retarded that most people on the internet consider real life an after school special. Makes sense but fuck it's annoying.
You are telling him to do the exact same shit he's doing without any true reason. You don't really know shit and just say "it'll be okay!" it's not always okay. If you knew how depression worked you would know that someone in that state can't just read the words "it'll be okay" (like it's the first time they've heard that) and PRESTO "self-eestem".
Sometimes other people are the problem indeed and maybe there are reasons he's had a hard time making friends with the attempts he's done so far.
bring the truth back to the world. everything is so fake

What prevents you from dropping it?
At least here, five years is enough to get a degree on anything.

I play football once every 2 weeks, however, it sort of didn't work out as something to make social bonds over. Yes I know the guys I usually play football with, but they are ion their own circles of friends. I tried other sports (basketball, ping pong) and it didn't work out either. Though, I guess I should keep trying.

Thing is that specialty takes at least a minimum of 4 years to get. That's 4 years of full time job with no pay.

It's no secret that this part of my life actually decides how the rest of it goes. That's why I keep thinking about study/work. If I do it right now, I will have an easier life -Financially- ahead of me, if I fuck it up, it's a long time investment that I didn't commit to and it will complicate my life financially later on.
Taking a break is maybe not an option until I get my degree next semester.

Thing is that nothing I've found over the past years actually interested me. And you're right about me being the "oh, I only have 1 semester left, why bother" kinda guy, but I actually think that's true. Why bother at this point?
I'm considering working aboard, however, the crippling part is language. As a doctor, you need to communicate with patients and be able to take history, and that's an issue for me (I speak Arabic, English and Russian) as it means if I choose a certain country to move to, I need to speak it's language, if it's not one of the 3 above, I need to be 1000% sure that I will be able to work there after I learn the language.

Thing is the stuff people around me talk about I have 0 interest in. It's mostly X did that, and Y said this and Z broke up with A. Or them talking about music I have no interest on. The only thing that I can talk about with the people around me is university, which goes either those people are on their first years and asking me for advice on certain subjects and me telling them stuff that happened to me in uni, or it's my peers from the same year talking about the schedule and shit.
It's not that I'm being closed in, I -in fact- have great interest in knowledge, but knowledge that actually matters. Why would I bother knowing how X-person interact with Y-person if it's their business?

As I said above, it's the language barrier. Learning a language to the point were you can speak and listen to it is at least a year time investment, so me putting effort into moving to a certain country and specialize there is a big choice as if after learning the language things didn't work out, I've wasted a whole year on something that's not helping my career.

Erm, Medicine is not magic, it also works with the immune system protecting the body. Read up on how vaccines and anti-biotics work.

I actually don't know how you managed to draw that image from what I wrote. The situation is that "I'm not happy", this clearly means the more I keep feeling like this, the worse it becomes. Someone can be happy or at least satisfied with their life even when they are under economical pressure, but when one feels that his life is miserable, it interferes with everything they do.

I've already invested 5 years and a half into this study, time is the most valuable resource in your life, if you don't make use of it, you're gonna consume it and get nothing in return. considering another study is really out of question at this point as it would take the same time getting another degree as working unpaid in specialty. And would you drop working on something when you're 1 step away form completing it? For me, I'd rather get the degree and work for free than turn the past 5 years and a half into meaningless effort.
Medicine is at least 7 years in study total and all that is to reach the point of being General Physician, If you want to specialize into a certain field, it's at least another 5 years. I don't think there's any other study in the world that takes as much time (I have friends that are working on their PhD and they are the same age as me).

You are thinking about efficient usage of time to get a degree that makes you depressed. I see you're proud about it, but either you decide it's worth the sacrifice and suck it up, or go after something else. No one in the universe is going to provide you with another alternative.
About dropping stuff, I'm about to turn 22 and did 2 years of Chemistry, 2 years of nothing, 1 year of Computer Science and throughout that I've been a professional poker player. I don't feel like I wasted a second of that time.

Rofl, you looking for attention, depression is not real, it's not real. If you feeeel sooo depressed go for a jug and dont stop until you are physically unable to run. Still depressed ? Do it again until you stop being mentally weak because that's what depression is. You gonna give up on your parents becaise something in your body orders you to?. A man's gotta do what a mans gotta do..i would say u dont have a goal in life, let this be your goal: find a way to increase people's life span? Impossible right, thats how insignifican you are then. Dont forget to sleep Before 12 because thats bad for a mentally ill person like you or should I say a lazy bastard who does whatever his body tells him to do, you are a stupid doctor,.you should know how this works, its all on your brain.
I went through all this crap just to find out that it's all on one's mind. It prevented me from doing so many things. I feel disgusted about myself when I think about depression,.i would feel pity for you if you had cancer. Dont let your body control you, you should control it. You should know what the body needs.... Wake up your 30 do something that people will remember you for....there that's what life is about if you dont believe in god. If you do believe in god juat get married make kids and try to go to heaven.

Lol I'd see a professional who can help you before ur condition gets worse. Im pretty sure uve studied depression? Or well i did anyway and its almost like an illness. Im not saying ur mentally retarded or of that sort but depression to a certain extent happens in a lot of people. Most mild but events can make it worse and such.
What youve attempted is the right direction and i smipped half the replies because most of them sound like theyre trying to help someone just sad. Depression can be chronic and im sure you wont want that. You should seriously look into a professional who knows exactly how to help people like urself instead of reading too many replies of people taking wild swings at how to cure you (no doubt its in their great wishes for u to be happy).
Thats basically the best recommendation i can give you as an aspiring healthcare professional
Hope you get well

The need for friends could differ, but humans are very social, they need one another.

I have been "sucking it up" for the past few years, I know that it's worth it for me. And being time efficient isn't something bad, things may have worked for you, but it doesn't guarantee it would for anyone else regarding switching career path.

A man's gotta do what a mans gotta do..i would say u dont have a goal in life, let this be your goal: find a way to increase people's life span? Impossible right, thats how insignifican you are then. Dont forget to sleep Before 12 because thats bad for a mentally ill person like you or should I say a lazy bastard who does whatever his body tells him to do, you are a stupid doctor,.you should know how this works, its all on your brain.
I went through all this crap just to find out that it's all on one's mind. It prevented me from doing so many things. I feel disgusted about myself when I think about depression,.i would feel pity for you if you had cancer. Dont let your body control you, you should control it. You should know what the body needs.... Wake up your 30 do something that people will remember you for....there that's what life is about if you dont believe in god. If you do believe in god juat get married make kids and try to go to heaven.
Your post is so stupidly terrible, I won't even bother replying.

Im not saying ur mentally retarded or of that sort but depression to a certain extent happens in a lot of people. Most mild but events can make it worse and such. What youve attempted is the right direction and i smipped half the replies because most of them sound like theyre trying to help someone just sad. Depression can be chronic and im sure you wont want that. You should seriously look into a professional who knows exactly how to help people like urself instead of reading too many replies of people taking wild swings at how to cure you (no doubt its in their great wishes for u to be happy). Thats basically the best recommendation i can give you as an aspiring healthcare professional Hope you get well
I appreciate your advice, and actually I am considering doing so, but probably after my last semester finishes. It might be just the university environment that's causing my situation, so maybe a change of setting would swing things back into the right direction. If it doesn't, I'll certainly seek therapy.
My thread was not asking for a treatment or a way to get out of it, it was mostly to know how people deal with it, as in, how do people get on with their daily life with it, cause all I'm doing right now about it is to dwell into the internet.

Please give a detailed response of your diet and exercise regimen.
My diet is really random but I eat healthy though. I rarely eat junk food, I balance my diet around vegetables and meat. I eat fruits quite often too. I rarely drink soda. Milk products I consume quite often. I don't drink alcohol at all, and I don't smoke either.
My exercise is kind of limited, I play football for 2 hours once every 2 weeks, I live on 4th floor and we don't have an elevator, I don't have a car so I walk to areas I need to get to if they are within 1km from me.
