Hello, guys. I need advice about mom of my gf. I dont know what to say but i think i need advice, because my gf crying about her mom and we live together. So, her mom is pretty depressed and sometimes she's crying out loud for 20-30 minutes. All i know about her that she almost everytime at home doing some stuff. I know that you actually can tell what other people feel but i have some opinions. We were going to cinema some days ago and some restaraunt but after that this doesnt help, only a little. Also her body is pretty weak and her bones are in pain, so that may cause other pain too. I thought that maybe her daughter should start learning some stuff together like drawing, photoshop, etc.
How to get a man to start doing something that he can take a break. I cant help because im also not very active, so maybe someone could advice me something? I also know its very hard to get something to do if your mood is completely broken, is there any possibilites?
Looks like your gf mom serotonin and dopamine level is very low, and if low those are causing anxiety/depression/self doubts/lack of enthusiasm... Exercise would be good for her (increases serotonin) but if she's pretty weak then it will be hard. There are natural ways to bring it back to the required level tho, and talking with her perhaps, finding out why is she like that? I know it's a painful situation to watch from your side...
Hi fishzone
Hope you are well, as someone that has suffered from depression for such a long time I think the best advice would be to point the mother to this site!
I say that because I've attempted suicide so many times, I joined a gym to help with the chemical imbalance and am on Prozac to numb the emotional states however what we really need from my opinion is understanding
Not to patronise you or your girlfriend but unless you have experienced depression it's impossible for you to understand its complexity, however this site is amazing not matter what the route cause of your depression is someone on here has gone through it and can give some really good advice on how best deal with it and fight back the an anonymous posting and feedback and answers you get can provide you with hope, understanding and ideas
Hope all works out for all parties concerned
Thinking of all three of you mike
