People who may be suffering from depression or manic disorders actually exhibit or show each and every kind of symptom of depression that doctors will tell you that depressed people have. Sometimes it is actually quite easy to overlook such symptoms and not be able to help one person or others who are suffering from depression for that matter.
Here are some common examples of symptoms of depression:
1. Prolonged period of sadness or not feeling “up to it”.
2. Feels hopeless, perennial pessimist.
3. Guilt-driven, loss of self-worth and helplessness.
4. Isn't interested in finding or taking pleasure.
5. Fatigue, always tired.
6. Having trouble concentrating, having bad memory and is indecisive.
There are actually more symptoms of depression that can actually help you see if a person (or you) needs to be brought to the doctor to get some help when it comes to depression: lacking sleep, sleeping too much or waking up at wee hours of the morning are all symptoms of depression (if it happens on a daily basis), appetite loss as well as eating too much may show one person lack of enthusiasm for life. Be weary of sudden weight loss or weight gain in those around you. Being suicidal, talking about death, about wanting to die is another clear indication that that person is depressed. Being restless and irritable are physical symptoms that are usually brought about by poor mental health such as headaches, digestive disorders and various body pains.

Stay The Same from Joey Mcintyre
***Chorus
Don't you ever wish you were someone else,
You were meant to be the way you are exactly.
Don't you ever say you don't like the way you are.
When you learn to love yourself, you're better off by far.
And I hope you always stay the same,cuz there's nothin' 'bout you I would change.
I think that you could be whatever you wanted to be.
If you could realize, all the dreams you have inside.
Don't be afraid if you've got something to say,
Just open up your heart and let it show you the way.
***Chorus
Believe in yourself.
Reach down inside.
The love you find will set you free.
Believe in yourself, you will come alive.
Have faith in what you do.
You'll make it through.
>>>> I just want to share with you my favourite song because it inspired me a lot. It told me just being myself in what ever things that I do. But the most important thing is it taught me to believe in myself and don't be afraid to talk whenever I have any ideas about something.

Today, I've already read an article about the man all Malaysian love, Chong Wei. Badminton's world-number-one Lee Chong Wei has been appointed a UNICEF goodwill ambassador, joining the ranks of soccer's David Beckham and tennis champion Roger Federer. For me, it is very proudful to become an ambassador in the younger age and made an ideal role model for young citizens. He also become a hero to me because he is not just a champion in badminton but he is also a champion in promoting child welfare. So, I hope that he will maintain a good image and be a good role model in order he brings together the name of Malaysia.

Hello everyone...
Lots of research has shown the health benefits of social support.One such study, reported in the journal Cancer, followed 61 women with advanced ovarian cancer. Those with ample social support had much lower levels of a protein linked to more aggressive types of cancer. Lower levels of the protein, known as interleukin 6, or IL-6, also boosted the effectiveness of chemotherapy. Women with weak social support had levels of IL-6 that were 70 percent higher in general, and two-and-a-half times higher in the area around the tumor.
In 1989, David Spiegel, MD, a professor of psychiatry at Stanford University, published a landmark paper in Lancet. It showed that women with breast cancer who participated in a support group lived twice as long as those who didn't. They also had much less pain.
Sheldon Cohen, PhD, a psychology professor at Carnegie Mellon University, in Pittsburgh, has shown that strong social support helps people cope with stress.
"Friends help you face adverse events," Cohen tells WebMD. "They provide material aid, emotional support, and information that helps you deal with the stressors. There may be broader effects as well. Friends encourage you to take better care of yourself. And people with wider social networks are higher in self-esteem, and they feel they have more control over their lives."
Other studies have shown that people with fewer friends tend to die sooner after having a heart attack than people with a strong social network. Having lots of friends may even reduce your chances of catching a cold. That's true even though you're probably exposed to more viruses if you spend a lot of time with others.
"People with social support have fewer cardiovascular problems and immune problems, and lower levels of cortisol—a stress hormone," says Tasha R. Howe, PhD, associate professor of psychology at Humboldt State University. "Why? The evolutionary argument maintains that humans are social animals, and we have evolved to be in groups. We have always needed others for our survival. It's in our genes. Therefore, people with social connections feel more relaxed and at peace, which is related to better health."
****Overall, this article showed that how important to choose a good friend in our life since it related with social networks.A friend is not only to share good and bad times, tears and laugh but it more than that.It is because friends help us to face adverse events where they provide emotional support and information that helps you deal with the stressors.
So, my question is....do you have a good friend?? If my question is do you have friends?
I'm sure everyone will say yes.But remember, a good friend is LARGELY DIFFERENT with friends.
So...think about it properly and start to find it at least one.

Hi friends..
There are lot of things that my mother have done to make me happy but, the most remember part is when I was in standard 6 after I got my UPSR result. The story was began when it have a ceremony at school for the students who got 5A's in their UPSR. It just like to celebrate our successful in the exam. They invited all the parents and students but unfortunately my father said that he cannot attend that ceremony and will be attend by my mother only. At that time, I felt so sad until the greatest day came. But the time we prepared to go to the school, my father said that he will be there with us. I quit shocked but I am really happy. At last I knew that my mother has persuaded my father to see me on stage just to make me happy and smile.
Thank you mum....
I really2 appreciated what you have done to me and it always played in my mind even though it have been almost 8 years ago. Remember that I will always love both of you until my last breath.
Here I want to dedicate a poem to my mother:>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
My mother is charming,
Her food is enchanting,
But her love is everlasting.
My mother is balmy,
Not because she is my mummy,
But because of her love,
The everlasting feathers of a dove.
A love everlasting,
Is by a mother who is a darling,
Whoever has a mother like me,
Has a wish-to-be!!!!
