woe is me
as i get older, i get more and more impatient with overdramatic people. we all get our share of problems and frustrations– parenting woes, health problems, marital discord, faulty relationships, career dissatisfaction, death in the family, financial binds… it’s one or the other and at some points of our lives, we’ve all been through it. we’ve all been through that stage when we thought we were at our lowest.
it’s ok to be sad (just don’t hit the malls when you are). it’s ok to be depressed. but what gets my goat are people who play the “woe is me” act over and over, as if they wallow in the pity of others. hoodiathinkyouare? some kind of special person who owns the monopoly of problems and frustrations in this world? dude, if even after several months, you can’t pull yourself out of the dumps, maybe you need professional help. stop the spiel; it’s getting stale.

“dude, if even after several months, you can’t pull yourself out of the dumps, maybe you need professional help. stop the spiel; it’s getting stale.”
– anong several months?! several weeks lang. for people like us na have a daily grind, responbilities to deal with, bawal mag depress, depressa-an. SHAKE IT OUT! life has to move on. otherwise, yeah, seek professional help.

the time to cry and be depressed is part of it but to “wallow in the pity of others?”—it’s the worst!
talk it out. breath. talk it out more. cry.—but then stop and find a way to be happy and enjoy what you have and start from there.

ditto. walang masama kung mag-vent ng problema, pero kung paulit-ulit na lang, at ganun at ganun din ang hinaing daing tapos nakikita mo tigas naman ang ulo dahil wala naman pinapakinggan at walang kadala-dala eh di vah sarap sabunutan at iuntog-untog ang ulo sa pader? asar din ako sa mga “mega-over-super-duper-dramatic the world revolves around me” kind of people..wala akong weather (panahon) sa mga ganung klase.

[…] i used roll my eyes with pregnant women who complain and whine about every little discomfort they feel, as if pregnancy has rendered them partially disabled. a huge part of it is because particularly during my first pregnancy, i never really had a difficult time so i was convinced that in many cases, it’s just psychosomatic. another of those woe is me syndromes. boy, have i been wrong.
