4 Weeks of Depression and Anxiety

I have done more than 8 researches since I came to Canada. I enjoyed doing 7 of them but the last one was the most important one. I had difficult time while doing the research. I was asking myself “why am I depressed”?. It was the 40% of the final. I was depressed and I felt that I had to drop this course. Then I asked myself “ok if I drop the course what am I going to do? Absolutely, I am going to wait for the next session to take the level again. During my research I found many stories as my story with the research. I knew that I am depressed, stressed and anxious. I was depressed because I became hopelessness sadness, unhappy, sleeplessness and did not eat enough.
I was anxious because I was afraid and worry about finding information and asking myself again” what if I did not do well and did not finish my research”. The answer was always “I will go back home with a disappointed felling. The other question came up her “what am I doing to do in Saudi Arabia?”. I found that there is only one solution work and do and do not stop working.
As I mentioned I have done a lot of researches but like this one I have not done. However, my topic is exercise and depression and the topic helped me to relief my depression.
In the last week, I was directed to explain more about depression, in that time, the whole questions came back to my head and I did not know what to do. I called someone and told him about my problem. He did not give me any information that would help me in the project. He only told me “YOU CAN DO IT BECAUSE YOU CAN DO MORE THAN THIS”. I called him after two minutes I told him “I cannot do it”. He told me “IF YOU ARE SAYING THAT TO YOURSELF YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE, YOU HAVE TO PUSH YOURSELF AND SAY, I CAN DO IT I CAN DO IT , AS MANY TIMES AS YOU CAN”.
I did so and I only worked one hour to find some information but I found a lot of information in just one hour or so. By this situation I learned that the problem is to say that you cannot do but if you say I can do that mean you will do something you have not been able to even think about it.

Yeah Moooooo :D :D....
you are absolutely right.. sometimes we give up doing things because we feel that we're not able to accomplish them,, but this is only because we believed that ,,, that's why we always have to be positive and believe that we can reach our goals and achieve whatever we dream of. :D
