I have been quite down for a long time now and that is one of the reasons I started this blog for. I get to write down stuff that is going in my head and that is why I am writing this post too. Since I have been not feeling that great I have started to think that I might be depressed, and that is why I am going to write this post about the symptoms of depression.

Normally you don’t really understand yourself if you are depressed. You are not going to blame some condition on the fact that everyone one the planet seems to be doing it wrong and only making you annoyed. You don’t want to accept the fact that the problem is in your head and you should do something about it before it gets too serious. I don’t want you to be jumping in conclusions or anything but when you realise that you are trying to push everyone away for no good reason it might be a good time to go see a doctor.

It really happens like that. One day you realise that you want to be alone for no good reason and that you don’t feel that good even if you are alone. Most of the depressed people never realise that they are depressed, they just go about their miserable lives without really enjoying it. When you constantly feel like there is no tomorrow and are hopeless of the future, it might be agood time to consider some treatment. There are those people who are just pessimists and that is why you should not go and give diagnoses to your friends who seem like they are depressed, since in many cases you can’t tell what is going on. They could just be having too much of things to think about and  be stressed in that way, that does not mean they are in the need for some brain chemical altering medical treatment.

Another common symptom is the feel of guilt and that is what hit me. I realised that even though I was not doing anything wrong at work I felt like the bosses were about to fire me because I was a bad employee. Actually I am pretty good and one of the best at what I do there so there is no reason for them to give me the boot, but even so I constantly felt that I was doing something really wrong, or that they were just going to start blaming me for something outrageous and get me fired.

Usually you can get rid of depression by talking about it but it is a good idea to go see a doctor. I am probably going to talk about the treatments in another post.

It was not that long ago when it would be considered rare to own a cell phone and truly fast they have evolved in to something that can be found in everyones pockets. Not only the yound people but also the old people. These are people whoe were forced to use the phones to be easier to contact, since the relatives and parents want to know where they can find their loved ones and to be able to contact them. Also the cell phone plans have been going forward and that is why many people are changing their plans from the old ones that they got when speaking to a mobile phone was still expensive. There are still some holes where you can step when you are choosing for a new plan and I am sure that I have stepped in one of those. One time I got a new plan only to notice that I as bound to get a new cell phone also, and I was forced to hold that plan for two years and pay to $25/mo fee… I kept that but never used it.

If you want to avoind spending too much money then try the following. Before you are going to buy yourself a new cell phone make sure whether you want to get a prepaid one or just a traditional service. That way you can either choose wheter you pay your bills before you use the phone or by the amount that you use the phone. If you have a history of not being that great when it comes to controlling your phone bills I suggest getting a prepaid to manage your calls.

If you have a big family then there are family plans that can be bound so that the calls inside the family will be either free or less expensive. That way you can be calling your children or your parents free of charge, and not worrying about this necessary communication making your phone bill larger.

I have also heard of some plans that can make you gain bonuses while speaking. If you are speaking a lot then this might be something worth looking in to since you can buy stuff with your bonus points, and it would be great to have some extra stuff every now and then for free!

Don’t pick the first one that is offered to you, but with cell phones and cell phone plans do your research before making any decisions.

As you can see from the theme here, I am an Apple fanboy. I own an iMac, iPhone, two iPods and soon I will get a mac mini for my livingroom. Today I am going to write about the newly released Apple iPod just to get this blog started. I woke up this morning and saw an email on my iphone the very first thing I did when I shut the alarm down. As I came to read the mail my jaw dropped and I said “I have got to get me one of those”.

Not only had they took it to the next level, they also made a huge difference and still kept it the same size with a larger screen. No it has a built in video camera, an FM radio that you can simply push pause, and contiunue listening from the exact same spot again. This is not only great but for me it will be very good feature since I am constantly listening to the radio and getting interrupted. For everyone who have not yet heard about it, check out apple.com for more information.
