Depression Busters

I am a bit depressed, since Monday. To cut it short things are not happening as it should work wise, and some other personal stuff. So today i'm gonna just indulge myself in this depression, just for today and prepare myself to get back to work and normal routine tomorrow.

Let me share with you my indulgence or you can call it depression buster tips. Warning: You can try it at your own risk, i'm not even sure if they worked on me, ok..

Living alone and working from a home office doesn't help at all. So get online and talk to friends or family. If they are in 'deeper shit'(pardon the expression) than you, the better. It'll help you feel guilty for being depressed in the first place.


Eat well. Hunger will make you more grumpy. Cook a pot of hot asam pedas...the more masam and pedas the better. My version has ikan tenggiri, tomatoes and terung. Eat with nasi putih panas-panas and ikan masin.


Cooking itself is therapeutic. After that hot lunch you would be sweating by now. Get into the shower. Hot shower works for me. Then lather your body with some nice smelling cream. Put on some comfortable clothes...not the baju kelawar...something you feel cute in.

(Ni takde gambar..heheh)

Then light a few scented candles. I like vanilla.

(Candles in the picture are the latest addition to my collection. Thanks Sue Ann!)

Then, think of things you need to do....depends what your problem is. For me, its Plan B if all the things lined up for June doesn't happen. Don't do any of the things today as this is your depression day. You have to allow yourself that depression time (or so i tell myself)

Then find a good DVD to watch, the longer the better....like a Trilogy.



Cukup-cukuplah merepek kan;-)...I'm gonna go watch those DVDs right now. I hope i'm out of this depression tomorrow.
