The comment's section isn't exactly the biggest for a proper reply. You can reach me at:<BR/><BR/>jane.canuck at hotmail dot com<BR/><BR/>The diagnosis I was given for my depression was just clinical depression. I'm really sorry that it is culturally unacceptable for you to see a psychiatrist. That makes things even harder I'm sure. <BR/><BR/>~ JaneJane Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10910725730119757101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12458444.post-13903176082732928112007-02-28T00:06:00.000-08:002007-02-28T00:06:00.000-08:00Dear PH.Depressed,I think I should start addressin...Dear PH.Depressed,<BR/><BR/>I think I should start addressing you as Jane. Thanks for your reply to my posts. You wanted to know what field I am in. Well I am doing my Ph.D on gender studies, more particularly on poor migrant women who live in slums in a third world country.<BR/>While doing Ph.D , I was having the same problems as you have faced, like getting depressed to the point of not being able to concentrate on my studies or even performing simple tasks,like brushing my teeth. I had some conflicts with my supervisor as well.He was not really guiding me but was more interested in furthering his own career. Ultimately, I was left with nothing but to do PH.D alone, without any guidance or help from my supervisor. But I pulled through somehow and I am managing quite well.<BR/>Don't lose heart. You can do it on your own. <BR/>I just wanted to know, (if you don't mind) what is the name of your depression? I always had and I am still having similar symptoms. The place where I live and study, there is no psychiatrist and going to a psychiatrist would be amounting to'going mad' in our culture.<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/>Mamloo( my nickname)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12458444.post-76568756603560055272007-02-27T20:04:00.000-08:002007-02-27T20:04:00.000-08:00Hi,I realize how long and difficult the Ph.D road ...Hi,<BR/><BR/>I realize how long and difficult the Ph.D road can be; I myself dropped out of my program after realizing that research would never be my forte. I am glad to hear that you are trying to fight your depression, and wish you all of the best of luck in the future.<BR/><BR/>Take care of yourself,<BR/><BR/>JaclynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
